v2.0.0

Today I’m releasing Christmas Eve 2.0. I’ve been slowly plugging away at this over the past few months in my free time. While I didn’t change much of the essence of the story or the game itself, I did do a lot of work to fine tune things a bit. While the changes aren’t mind-blowing, I think they significantly improve the overall game quality. In short, you won’t be missing much story-wise if you decide not to download and play it again.
The first and most obvious change is to the images. They are now de-noised (for the most part). This may be more obvious to those of you on a desktop or laptop, but I think the change is striking. I also converted the entire image library to .webp so it takes up a lot less space.
The next change is to the script. I did make a LOT of corrections. I fixed a bunch of grammatical errors as well as all of the switches in perspective from 3rd person to 1st and back again. I also made some changes to the story. I added a few continuity corrections between CE and NYD. I also threw in a few subtle hints and foreshadowing elements to help tie the two stories together even more. I also made some stylistic changes to some parts just to make the wording flow a little more smoothly.
Finally, I reworked the UI a bit and added a gallery. The gallery images unlock as you play through the game. Oh, and by the way, before you ask:
OLD SAVES WILL NOT WORK WITH THIS VERSION!!!
…and neither will the mods for v1.0, or at least I don’t think so.
Overall, I think this is a much more polished version and it will be the canon that I base my further development from. However, you will still be able to get v1.0 on my Patreon and Subscribestar pages. I know a bunch of you have modded that version and enjoy it that way.
Things I did not do:
Change relationship statuses (as they are integral to the story)
Redo the “animations” into “real” animations (although I did smooth out what was there a little)
Anyway, I hope you enjoy what I’ve done. I continue to be surprised by how much people like this story. I mean, I like this story, but I’m more than a little biased.
Let me know what you think in the comments. If I made any mistakes or something isn’t working correctly, let me know.
Thanks!
Love y’all
