Unfortunate Adventure [v0.0.14.3 Public] By NoMoCo

v0.0.14 Public

• 2026-01
• CODE: Added a minor change that fixes “skip dialogue” bug that would make it possible to skip loading backgrounds, music or other things if you were too eager with skipping dialogue button when starting a new piece of dialogue.

• Version 0.0.14.2
  Hotfix
• 2026-01
• CODE: Made minor adjustment to Encounter detection, sort of belt-and-suspenders approach to making sure there’s no further bugs with it.
• Version 0.0.14.1
  Hotfix
• 2026-01
• BUG: TV Show was not playing on Day 3. Dialogue was grabbing the input handling and not letting the TV Show progress.
• BUG: Bed on day 3 understood only “evening” everything else was an “error” to it, when interacting with it during any other time, you’d get error message instead of proper dialogue. Not fatal, just oversight.
• BUG: When iteracting with Donna’s bookshelf, the book selector should pop up, but it was behind the bookshelf graphics, and thus impossible to interact with, and locked the game. Simple fix.
• Version 0.0.14
  Going Outside + Some More Story, Savegame Fixes, Autosaves, Load of Bugfixes
• 2025-12
• KNOWN ISSUES listed at the bottom of the Changelog.
• WARNING! SAVE GAMES WILL BE INCOMPATIBLE WITH NEXT VERSION. 0.0.15 WILL BREAK SAVEGAME COMPATIBILITY.
• WARNING! While savegames will load fine, I cannot guarantee that things will work properly! There might be some random shit in your savegame that will make the game completely give up and do nonsensical things or soft-lock you out of things.
• FEATURE: Due to request from a patron, I have added an autosave feature. The game will autosave after most “significant” events, and on top of that you get a save-slot at the start/end of each day. As a bonus, you don’t NEED to select a slot to save, now, either.
• LOCATION: Added outside scene with multiple interactive areas, it is actually my most complex scene in some ways, as it is the first one that uses Spine2D. The rest of the scenes will probably follow this pattern.
• Note: Not sure when I will refactor the old scenes to use the same system, but it’s not critical, so very slowly.
• RETCON: When you start a new game, or load an old savegame, there is only three doors in the living room. All art has been updated to reflect this. Reason for this will become apparent in the fourth day. Welcome to the life in the alpha train!
• GUI: Save/Load menus have now different button colors to make it obvious in which menu you’re actually in. Save menu is red, and load menu is blue. I also made the SAVE GAME/LOAD GAME text bigger and more obvious.
• GUI: Added option to continue without saving when you get the save menu prompt at the end of each day.
• CODE: Refactored the Quest system into its own separate module, making it easier to maintain and expand. Code didn’t change, however.
• CODE: I first did DynamicDoor, then renamed it to DynamicInteractive to better reflect its broader use cases (not just doors). It’s a system that allows doors to change their hover text based on game state. For example, a door might show “Door” on Day 1, then “Sonja’s Room” once you learn who lives there.
• CODE: Rooms now have zone assignments (HOME, ISLAND, OUTSIDE, etc..) that ZoneManager uses for intelligent memory management. They did this since 0.0.12, but the room itself wasn’t aware what Zone it belonged to. So I refactored exactly who is aware of what and who handles what within the code.
• CODE: Tooltip management is now centralized better. It’s still not fully centralized, but at least it’s no longer that every scene handles them in its own way.
• SOUND: Added sound effects to the outside_island_yard scene. Which meant I had to actually add some new sounds effects for what feels like ages.
• AMBIENT: This is somewhere between ambient music/ambient soundscape, but I added a new ambient soundscape for the Outside view, and while I consider it more of an ambient soundscape, it does feature musical harmony and notes (C harmonic minor, f or those who care).
• ART: Did the art for the new location, it was quite the complex project since it features potential for animation and a lot of layering because of this. There’s 20+ layers in the scene to add “depth” and variety to the future animations.
• ART: Related to the above note, I have added shader(s) to the scene to create a fog that squirrels itself between different layers, adding depth and movement to the scene before I have even gotten to animating it in the first place.
• WRITING: Added descriptive & reactive text to the outside scene hotspots. 814 Words/77 Lines of text, for now.
• WRITING: Wrote the Day 4 scenes. Morning, living room, and outside. This is 5962 Words/523 Lines of text with branches and reactive content. As in, your previous decisions matter as far what exact text you see.
• SCRIPTING: From now on all check_skill checks and such are done in relation to your personal investment in your character. That is to say, I will keep on writing check_skill(“composure”, 7) forever. As the game progresses the skill checks get more difficult the more points you invest in your character. However, from a dialogue writing perspective I don’t need to care about that – I’ll just use the 1 to 10 scale forever. As a bonus, this gives an easy way to add difficulty levels to the game, if Patrons want me to add such thing to the game.
• CODE: Refactored the character panel display system, squashing the last few bugs from it (this is the system you see when the game looks like a traditional VN and you’re not in “small talk”. Small talk uses its own system. For now.)
• CODE: Saving games is now its own subsystem, instead of being just hidden somewhere in the state management and general game state code. Not strictly necessary, but I like to keep my code neat and separated from each other.
• CODE: The game now validates save file versions and will refuse to load incompatible saves, preventing potential corruption or weird bugs from old save files.
• CODE: When loading game, selecting an empty slot will now empty the “info box” so you won’t get the previous slot’s information and get confused by that.
• CODE: Fixed how locations were referred internally. Made it more scalable, so from now on locations can scale to 100+ rooms with no maintenance from me.
• CODE: My “complex_condition” check that I use all over now supports “player has visited X” kind of requirements, just for convenience’s sake.
• CODE: Removed a “synchronous loading” option from config (but it was never enabled). Players never saw this, because it felt bad. – Note: Practically how it worked was this: every two rooms game would stop to have a longer load, and then it would work fast the next few rooms. The current system gives a consistent shorter loading times, but every time you switch rooms. It feels much nicer than long load times every few rooms.
• ART: Added initial work on the Outside/Island scene (still rough, work in progress).
• BUG: You could have either “bookshelf” or the “vanity” background on top everything when entering Donna’s room, if things did not get set properly.
• BUG: Save files could get corrupted when certain race conditions happened, so now the brand spankin’ new save system does some validation of the data it is loading and recovers from these race conditions gracefully.
• BUG: In the Save/Load menu, slot 4 actually was 3, so you could not actually even access slot 4.
• BUG: The indulgence checks (which are invisible to player) with Donna were bugged (using wrong values) so you always saw the “high indulgence” text option, regardless if you’ve ‘indulged’ or not.
• BUG: Sonja’s initial bathroom scene could crash, and in fact WOULD crash, if Sonja’s pose was somehow set as something before this scene. I don’t think that’s actually possible? But if it was, the scene would 100% crash. Now it’s actually working like it should.
• BUG: You would get the old save screen when passing time.
• BUG: It was possible to skip seeing the animated sexy shot of Donna if you pressed CTRL down when going into the room and starting the dialogue.
• BUG: The Character Creation screen was totally not working on Linux. The fonts are not playing nice crossplatform, for some reason. An emergency fix was applied to make it actually readable, but I’ll need to investigate this further.
• Known Issue: There are lots of locations that the girls might be at, or are in, that you will not be able to have small-talk dialogue with them. This is because there’s just no graphics to show for that location. When the location becomes more relevant, I will add it into the game. Don’t worry, you are not missing anything critical. All plot relevant discussions are unskippable, you can’t miss them.
• Known Issue: If you are loading an old save from version
• 0.0.12 or earlier, the quest “I’m an Eldritch Monster?” may display the incorrect stage description. This is a cosmetic issue only and does not affect gameplay. The quest will function normally, and the stage will update correctly as you progress. New games are unaffected.
