Озеро «Лунная Рябь» / Moonripple Lake [v.0.2 Rus / v.0.3 Eng] (2024) (Rus/Eng) [Ren'Py] [Linux] [Android] [BCG]

v0.3 - 2024-10-23
This one comes with many more choices, more content than the previous episode, and is more heavily seasoned with NTS flavor :)
A couple of notes:
Your choices affect scenes immediately and later on as well. I'll get to writing a walkthrough in the coming days when I find the time.
EP2 saves SHOULD work fine!
If you wish to change Suzie's name (as is now possible), and don't want to restart from scratch, just start a new game, change her name, confirm, then load up your save. It should register across all saves.
Two polaroids have femboy/non femboy versions. When you find all of them, just turn femboys off/on and go the the ep3 gallery to view the differences.

v0.2
There is now a free roam system enabled at story-relevant points in the game. It is not always accessible and I don't aim to make gameplay revolve around it.
At the start of a new game, you can now change the MC's name, along with setting some preferences relevant to the story and content- you can change these later in the options as well.
Polaroids. Throughout EP1 and EP2, there are now 6 total free-roam polaroids available for you to find, 7 depending on the preferences you set at game start or in options. After finding them you can view them again in the new Gallery.
You can unlock the whole gallery without having to search for polaroids in freeroam - if you're a Patron, with the code I'll provide in the release post.
EP1 now has more content after Anon leaves the house to get money from the ATM. There are a couple of new scenes in there before he returns back home.
EP2 is longer and has more scenes than EP1, and it has much more actual story development with some introduction to Moonripple Lake's mystery. It also brings the first simple choice you can make as a player (there will be more in ep3).
Experimenting with a zoom/pan feature on certain scenes on certain sprites. It is at the moment used in only one scene in the game. Give me feedback on it if it was beneficial to your experience so that I know how to handle it in future content.
You can now HIDE/SHOW the character's dialogue black background. This is to prevent it from obscuring the art. Just click the eye button in the bottom right corner. The background was meant to provide a slightly higher text readability on bright scenes. But some find it useless, so the option to hide it is there. This is different from renpy's HIDE (H) functionality that hides all gui elements and prevents dialogue to continue.
