Guild of Spicy Adventures [v.0.47.2] (2023) (Eng) [Unity] [MacOS] [Linux] [Android] [Hikkeiru]

v.0.47
HUGE CONTINUATION OF THE STORY!
Something snuck past the town’s security. As someone get’s wounded you embark on an adventure to find a cure. How much fucked are you?
This update literally doubles the story of the game. Contains 25 new custom animations.

New bonus scenes were added and few limited spots to claim them!
New gallery scenes were added!
New interaction mode for scenes. Ability to click parts to interact with them and switch cameras.
New Time Clock feature supporting day and night cycle.
Time clock now is used in stories without cluttering UI by showing it only in specific spots and auto hiding it on completion.
Backgrounds changes:
Internal. Ability to self requeue backgrounds making the renders more alive than any other KK game. This is probably my favorite new feature actually. It creates simple animations just with two renders which adds quite a touch to the story.
Internal. Ability to create multi part backgrounds (which can be at the same time simple sprite or a video) that play them at the same time. I don’t think I’ve seen any visual novel to support this.
Ability to play sfx on shown. Therefore animations have even more life. Three queued backgrounds. When the third is played only then the sfx plays.
Shake background modifier. Injected also in previous parts of the story. Injecting the new modifier in several places in already existing story. I.e. during falling in Cylia’s meeting.
New sakura petals particle effect background. You will notice it during the new story.
Internal. In case of not existing background suppressing error.
Internal. Optimizing background, reducing transition state checking from every frame update to callbacks.
Also prewarming transition. Reducing time between presetting them ,syncing them between layers making transition appear at similar time.
Releasing asset handle on destruction of object, hugely reducing memory usage.
Meta profile Internal storage for over the game global storage.
Scene system changes:
Main scene is shown to player after it has been uncovered. This prevents a few frames of showing something changing on screen that doesn’t make sense to the player.
Internal. Scene gets covered. Unloads old. Loads new. Uncovers.
Preferences window The preferences window displays when there is new preference added. The preferences are stored in meta profile.
Button in menu used previously to open and close patrons is now in use for opening preferences.
Save system changes:
Right click quick access to manual saves.
MANUAL save types now hold position index (like renpy). Otherwise it gets sorted by date. This way both date organization and favorites overwrite is possible.
Overwriting save is now possible. Click and hold to overwrite save. Use this to assign save positions to specific spots in manual grouping. Thanks @OnlyHeStandsThere @Dreamfucker @kingmich @Nobles
Removing slot type name on slot item ui and replacing it with color ribbon instead. To help with readability.
Travelling now also causes to create history save.
Internal. Left to right transition was added.
Saving last queued background instead of current if there is queued background present.
Clearing ambience and bgm on loading. Prevents carrying over of sound between loading scenes.
Caching ambience and bgm. Prevents restarting of sound during i.e. location transitions.
Internal. Ability to specify skipping sfx if it was played within last X seconds. In a situation where third queued background is playing sfx, yet the user is constantly clicking therefore skipping render animation. It doesn’t then play the sfx doubled.
Loading screen image changed from black.
Internal. Ping replaced since it didn’t work on android devices.
Internal. Caching continue scroll and limiting it to one scroll per 400 ms.
Hair clipping on several Mara renders has been fixed.
Clearing save thumbnails on every click. Prevents displaying previous thumbnails on different slot save data.
Checking for invariant culture on bg modifier application. In case of typo or in places where it’s omitted.
Internal. Added vn interactive game mode to support limitation for traveling during clickable hentai scenes.
Moving patreons and socials to exit screen.
0.46.3 Clicking on the screen and any other clickable object doesn’t cause double action performing at the same time. I.e. dialogue and undo.
0.46.2 Fixing background error which could cause lag during dialogue clicking. Thanks @sionni
0.46.2 Fixing android continue dialogue not working. Thanks @sionni
0.46.3 Changing to default value of fps for android to 30 while removing hard lock. Thanks Bargez

Try to talk to Kanae as she has no reason to arrest you now.

Dialogue structure for her dialogue.
The conversation starts nicely with entry animation. With transitions to random idle animation and from other questions returning back smoothly to idle. In the middle it switches from single render to multi layered render which allows such smooth background handling.
This unique system is only possible with the development of my custom framework. More to come!
Patreon credits. Thanks @POLSKISAMURAJ

Clickable places. It will be now possible to travel by clicking in front of you instead of only the map. Can be also used during normal dialogue.
Animations now play during the transition.
Internal BG -d (delay) parameter starts counting after the previous content was fully shown. Meaning i.e. the Arili arrival animation wouldn’t have awkward pause after the animation. Also Sori arrival dance wouldn’t cut mid first animation.

v0.30
NEW HENTAI SCENE
Animation is completely custom made for the current scenario.

New character!
Kanae, the lawful protector of the town (not so) warmly welcomes your new arrival.

Story Continuation!
You arrived in the town. Have a sexy meeting with the new character and prepare to land in a horny jail…

Few sfx were replaced to improve quality

v0.29
Hand drawn map is available!
What's the benefit of using a hand-drawn map? I can change and react graphically to the events of the world. Additionally, the map is fully colored (no Boogle like maps).

Internal refactor.
If scene transition would fail it remains at the current screen.

v0.28
To ensure longevity of the game. Internal changes that may be invisible are required.
All buttons are now hidden behind a single toggle button. To access i.e. the relations view, you simply slide down all the buttons. This not only eliminates buttons during the visual novel mode, but also makes some of the renders look nicer since some of the shadows were previously cutting onto the characters.
The windows have been internally refactored, allowing the animation to be stopped midway during the transition from closed to open.
When the bounce background modifier is turned on and images with boundary bleed are added, a scale modifier is also added to ensure that no heads are slightly chopped off, such as when riding a cart. Thanks Ryleona
The load screen title bar has been adjusted to look like one UI instead of having a gap in the middle.
The position of the history screen close button has been adjusted to be displayed above the opening button.
The previously hidden trail renderer is now visible.
Internally changing initialization of few components and sorting layer rearrangement.
The history screen now includes animations.

v0.27
Continuation of the story.
Ride the carriage with the new character!
New modifier system applied on renders.
This allows me to i.e. bounce foreground while the background remains still. This was used in the carriage riding compound animation.

v0.26
- FIXED. Prior versions when entering animation during the “moment in the dark” ONLY SOME devices were crashing and some didn’t display the next scenes. Now the problem is confirmed to be fixed. Thanks tonttu and @fickyou
Even more proofreading. Thanks, Ryleona
Save textures are now saved in 1/4 resolution to optimize and reduce lag when previewing save slots. You will see a difference when you have 100 slots. This only applies when saves are saved with the new resolution screenshot.
This also means that save files are lighter in storage.
Internal. Save previews are now decoded when showing in the UI instead of loading just after button click.
This also means that there is additional feedback text.
Saves slots UI objects now use internal object pooling. This means that when you are changing filtering tabs (i.e. From ALL to QUICK) it’s faster.
Fixed potential follow mouse vfx script bug.
Fixed on a few devices main menu version crash.
Fixed bug in background with console opening from background thread.
Replaced script writing command name for transition id.

v0.25
Updated unity version.

v0.24
Story continues! On the last straight road. Someone's incoming...
More proofreading. Thanks, @Ryleona
Some unwanted bgm’s should now stop playing when the save is loaded. Thanks, Ryleona
Looping sfx’s are now saved and loaded i.e. fireplace sound.

v0.23
Story continues! Find out what happened in the morning!
Some story was adjusted and the choice was added to Arili’s route at the beginning. Thanks for your notice @BlasKyau. It was added since the decision to make unwanted tags avoidable was made after the beginning story was in the game. Now it’s more aligned with this golden rule.

v0.22
The story progresses further!
You arrive at this unknown place expecting the worst. What await you inside?
Something unexplainable is fucking with you or helping you?
Have a conversation with Cylia that will help you learn about her.


New environment: Mysterious forest hut!
This place was built from the ground up to fit the requirements of the story.
A lot of textures have been modified to show the coziness (and scariness) feeling of this place.
You will be able to visit this place later!

Crazy shader improvement with light rendering.
The refined light supports more dynamic shadows.
They were used in a new animation!
This comes at some cost of extra steps to polish renders. Yet I’m sure it’s worth the time since I really love the improved results.

A few specific sfx’s like the fireplace should now loop to improve the quality of the story.
In a few places sound transition duration was changed.

v0.21
Continuation of the story where you venture with your companion and make a new decision on the journey. This decision leads you to an unknown place where you will need to survive a night filled with unexplained occurrences.

v0.20
This update is part of a same-day hot fix for 0.19.
Load menu should be now correctly visible in the game menu. Thanks, @greenarrow25
Few anchors have been shifted to fit better wider screens.
Internal refactor of the opening options screen.
Better sorting order of canvases to improve assurance that everything will order correctly.

v0.19
Moved the optional main menu info to options.
Changed key trigger state. Thanks to @StupidkillerKeys A (auto mode), LCTRL (skip mode), and H (History) now trigger an action when the player releases the key instead of when they press it. This should make player feedback a little clearer.
Appropriate feedback is given when checking for a version and offline status.
Multi-save slot system:
There is no need to start a new game, old saves should work!
Saves now contain screenshots embedded in them, which makes it clear which save is which.
Saves can be filtered by type. Saves can be filtered by all types at the same time. While filtered by all, you can still see the type of the save.
Saves cache in the background, which eliminates the need to load them a second time while previewing. Slots animate on entry.
Saves also show the last time they were written. All of them are sorted by the newest written first. Meaning even your third leg will always know which slot is the last one you played.
History is cleared on load.
Q.Save and Q.Load buttons on VN. Keys A(auto mode), LCTRL(skip mode), and H(History) now trigger an action when the player releases the key instead the of time when he presses it. This should make player feedback a little more clear.
The save camera captures everything except ui layers. Which makes the save ss look nicer.
There is blinking animation making the user action flow more smooth.
Additionally, there is also feedback text to make it clear when the save is completed.
The history log should be now scrolled to the last message when you open it. Thanks, Stupidkiller
The skip modifier now turns off when loading save or starting the game. This prevents from skipping story on loading.
The same with auto modifiers. Thanks to MrBlasyMSK

v0.18
You can now continue the story past her waking up.
Changed the font to be more readable. Thanks, @Stupidkiller
When a new card appears on the screen the auto mode turns off. Thanks, MrBlasyMSK
Lowered the buy button zoom on the itch page. Thanks, MrBlasyMSK

v0.17
New character card images.
Cards image graphical update! Updated Sori unhovered, hovered image, and card meeting image.
Updated Arili unhovered, hovered image, and card meeting image.
Cards are now more accurately anchored to the border of the images.
All radical tags can be avoided. Thanks BlasKyau and @bobdillan
Added an option to the first choice of prologue scene.
You are now able to avoid the prologue starting sexual scene tag that many may not want it. Implemented due to the request of the user. Now every more radical sexual tag will be avoidable. I will try to keep that gold standard throughout the game.
More story proofreading. Thanks MrBlasyMSK

Adding new audio.
Fixed some images with transparency bleeding on each other within the scene.
Few renders graphical fixes.
Zip folders have now an additional game folder. Allows to extract game without the need to create extra folder manually. Thanks MrBlasyMSK for suggestion.

v0.16

Card meeting screen font changed to be more visible on white gradient.
Cards (on relations and meeting screen) image is now contained within the border of the border image.

Card meeting lock image upscaled
Console window for cheat codes (available with special password) and for release development.
Developer mode
Allows to enable logs and testing keys in the release build itself.
Window manager.
Windows will now not overlap each other! If you open a map therefore other unimportant windows will close. Unimportant windows are one that are always can be closed without consequences. Choice screen which is part of the story cannot be closed because you are forced to make a choice now. Relations, Quests, Map, Options are marked as unimportant.
Window manager has also experimental capability to layering two windows side by side. Yet this will be more developed in the future cases.
Few optimizations around accessing different dialogue states, reactive bottom buttons.

v0.15
Now clicking when text is scrolling, you finish the sentence instantly. Thanks you for this request.
