Dev Log 54
🕑 Added 2025-06-08 22:00:19 +0000 UTCHey guys, it's dev log time again!
I want to start by saying welcome to all of the new supporters that have joined since the release of version 0.12 a couple of weeks ago - the reception for this one has been really positive, so thank you all! I make these dev logs every couple of weeks, so if you stick around between updates you'll get used to hearing from me!
Now, onto the dev log:
It's been a busy couple of weeks for me, as usual. Of course, work on version 0.13 is already underway - I'm currently finishing up the first phase of writing, which is the detailed scene planning stage. There's a hell of a lot to fit into the next couple of in-game days (the goth weekend), and fitting it all in has been a bit like doing a jigsaw.
So, I can't remember if I mentioned this in a previous dev log or not, but I had previously planned on doing the weekend in a single two day update, but now I'm weighing up the possibility of splitting it into two single day updates. Ultimately I'll make the final decision when I've got it all written out in full and I can see the final length, but if it ends up way too long I might not have a choice if I want to keep up a regular release cycle.
Other than that, I'm also currently working on a version 0.12.1 that will be ready for the public release of version 0.12 in a couple of weeks. At the moment it contains a few hundred minor grammar improvements across the last three or four updates, but I'm also hoping to fix a few bugs as well.
The main one may be something that some of you have noticed: For some reason video playback on animated scenes has been a bit slow in 0.12 (no idea why, nothing should have changed in that respect) and you can sometimes see white/transparent screens flashing up before each video plays. I've already got a semi-fix in place that improves the problem, but I have another one in the works (credit to moderateUtopia on discord for putting me on to it) that is a bit more time consuming to implement but may eliminate it completely.
Beyond that initial work on 0.13 and 0.12.1, I've also been setting up a new PC! Those of you who have been around since the beginning will remember me using a big chunk of my early patreon money to build the one I'm using currently, and it's served me well for the last couple of years, but it does rather hit its limit with some of the larger scenes (the Founding council and the back yard of the cafe were particularly painful to work with).
So I'm currently setting up my new one using all-new graphical mods - it's taking a bit of time to get it all working, but I'm hopeful it should allow me to make some visual improvements! And, of course, I'm going to be careful to make sure it stays in-keeping with the current style of the game. Once I've got it up and running I'm gonna see what I can do, and maybe post some comparisons for you in the next dev log if there are noticeable improvements.
So, as I said earlier, I'm currently working through the writing process for 0.13 - hopefully that should also be finished by the time of the next dev log, at which point I'll be able to give you a few more details - but for now, I'll leave you with a custom image set of Lucy I made for fun on discord recently, I thought it turned out really cute!
And that about does it for this one - if you have any comments, feel free to leave them here or on discord!
And as always, thank you all for your support, I truly appreciate it!

Partly because it's all already resolved for her, and partly because she didn't actually pay for all those tickets she was getting her hands on. Maybe I should have put a few snarky lines in for her about it, though.

How come Catherine isn't pissed off about the ticket book being stolen? After all is said and done, she lost out on the chance to win the favour.

I just went back two years. From: I've just finished writing what I had originally planned for 0.2 - It comes in at 14,000 words and 700 renders. It covers days 11 and 12, which will be two of the longest days yet. To: 0.12 Is now complete and ready to play! The update contains an additional 31,000 words, 2250 renders, and 44 videos, covering days 27 (Thursday) and 28 (Friday). You've come a long way my friend. You can really be proud of what you acomplished. I guess you achieved way more than you expected yourself when you started CC. Publish your updates, when you think you have told what you wanted to tell in that update. Everything else is irrelevant.

I've only played the new update 4 times (up till now) and my feelings are - Akatsuki segment brill,General interaction usual high standard,Catherine segment outstanding,Sarah segment far too long.
