Трое и Один: Проклятый Особняк / Three and One: The Cursed Mansion [v.0.15 Rus / v.0.161 Eng] (2025) (Rus/Eng) [Ren'Py] [Linux] [Android] [tcaal] [Man from icecream van]

v0.161 - 2025-04-13
hotfix

v0.16
A new story day - Sunday.
Dynamic lighting changes added in the apartments.
New emotions for the girls. Next up: secondary characters.
A prototype of the characters' daily routine has been added. It will work fully after v0.20.
A bunch of minor fixes.

v0.15 - 2025-03-25
The next story day : Saturday — has been completed.
I’ve started updating some sprites, but this will obviously take several releases. The old code needs to be reworked to support multi-layered character sprites. Right now, you can see sprites from multiple generations at the same time! :)
The in-game clock and weekdays are now fully implemented. The next step is to link the clock to time-of-day changes (lighting adjustments) and character behavior schedules (the code is already in the game but currently disabled).
In this version, you can control Zoe (just a little and under certain conditions). Later, this mechanic will be used situationally for all characters.

v0.141
The third day is finished. A small piece of an event has been added, which we can see through Tori's eyes. This means that in the future, I plan for us to be able to see what happens with Bianca, Tori, and Zoey when they are not at home.
Important: The moments shown are seen by us, not the protagonist. This means they cannot affect his knowledge, opinions, etc. If the protagonist is to actually witness such events, a separate mechanic will be added... someday... maybe :)
I put together the first animation (actually, two). I'd rate it a 4 out of 10. The animation is tiny (just a few seconds), but it took a lot of time. The result is mediocre. Luckily, progress doesn't stand still, and I'm confident this will improve in the future.
v0.141 fixed a bug where Tori remained without clothes after the conversation in the bar:)

v0.13
Resume story at next day.
I've created rooms for the characters. In the game, you can currently only see Mark's room. The other rooms will become accessible later as the story progresses.
The girls have new sprites and new outfit sprites.
I decided to slightly change the title since "loser" in the name didn't really reflect reality. So, for now, we'll go without the "loser" part. :)
Time tracking for the time of day and the day of the week has been added to the game (though it's currently implemented only in the code — practically, you'll see it later when quests dependent on time and day are introduced).
A quest tracking system has been implemented (also only in the code for now). Essentially, on the third day, when you open your room's door, a long quest starts and concludes on the hotel rooftop. This whole technical setup is necessary so that we can experience different events during free play (both story events and other content will be available through quests in future updates).

v0.12 - 2025-01-31
Finally finished the second story day (with all variations).
Added a scene with Helena at the end of the second day (optional - you can refuse).
Fixed a bug that occurred during the conversation with Zoe (when she asks us to carry the suitcases).

v0.11-2025.01.17
Android build added.
Next story day completed (except for the final part, as it requires work on several plot options).
Expanded exposition: We've now learned more about the girls, and character development has been enhanced.
Relationship variables added: Currently only between the player and NPCs, but plans include introducing variables for NPC-to-NPC interactions as well.
