June devlog


Hi everyone!

This is the last devlog for Saint Ceri before its release on July 31st, and I'm doing a lot of final checks and tweaks!
A lot of June was spent on testing, which is great because I'd missed some really major bugs! Some endings couldn't be reached at all due to me writing some variables wrong/putting them in the wrong place. I've now confirmed all endings are obtainable and all CGs can be unlocked! There may be smaller bugs still hiding in there and I'll try to find more before release, but I feel like like being able to reach all the endings is the most important thing! I also tested the SFW alt versions of scenes to make sure there's no unwanted nudity (the sprites all have naked and underwear versions, so there's a lot of if/elses based on which mode you're playing in).

Another thing about CGs: I'd been thinking about whether there's a better way to organise my CGs, to make it clearer to players which ones are NSFW, which ones are the SFW alts... My issue was that players playing in NSFW mode would see all the locked slots for the SFW alts and possibly feel confused (or just annoyed at the feeling of incompletion!), and vice versa! It was hard to figure out but I've managed to customise the CG gallery to have three separate tabs for general CGs (SFW), NSFW, and SFW alts (pictured below, the details you see when playing in SFW mode). It isn't perfect, but at least it lets you know what's what! I'll improve on this in future games!



I've now submitted the full game for review by Steam support, and I'm hoping for a smoother experience than a lot of vn devs seem to get :') I've submitted it this early to make sure I have plenty of time if there are any problems.

There isn't much left for me to do apart from additional testing! I'll be taking some time to participate in o2a2, it'll be nice to make something ultra short after mostly focusing on Saint Ceri for so long.

Thanks as always for reading!
