The Library Story v.0.97.33

0.95.5
Today is the release of LS v 0.95.5, that includes 2 quests: a large one with the continuation of Emma's line (which contains special bonus scenes for $ 5+ patrons), and a bonus event in the forest. It can be seen about a week after the announcement of the competition for the place of the Hunters Guild's Head (well, or a week after loading your saves). In addition, in this version, some changes have been made for the convenience of players and many bugs have been fixed (some of them are listed below).

List of corrections and changes (in the current version):
Fixed:
*Bug with disappearance of Gaston's dog after taming (it was actually a symptom of a more serious issue with a pause during the output of achievements; within this pause it was possible to interrupt the execution of the current script). (works for saves from the previous version)
*Bug with Jacques' disappearance from the tavern in the "Special Gift" quest ("Invisibility Robe"). (works for saves from the previous version)
*Bug with the probability to interrupt execution of the current script within pauses, while clicking any active object (for example, a bookcase in the store).
*The ability to build the Reading Room is now activated after 15 days, as expected (works for saves from the previous version)
*A number of less significant corrections, including those related to language switching, grammar mistakes and typos.

Added:
*Automatic recharge of Gaston's musket after the battle (of course if you have ammo of the same type in the inventory). Finally!
*Correctly hiding the dialog box while clicking on the "H" or a middle mouse button.
*New original outfits in LS Gallery.

Balance:
*Increased chances of getting trophies while hunting. Hunting level 2 also increases the likelihood of receiving trophies, and in addition the chances of getting several trophies at once from one beast.
*Increased chance of meeting wild boars in the forest.

0.95
Here is the release of 'The Library Story' 0.95. We went a long way towards this, and here we are. All storylines of the game are compiled, no any 'special starting conditions', everything can be passed from the very beginning.

In this version you will see new characters; you can the whole event with the Smugglers Password, we are very proud of. Additionally, pay attention to the telescope that will appear in the newly-minted Hunters Guild (some scenes are updated in the process of characters' development and the plot).
0.95 Part 1
You must have noted this suspicious "part 1" in the title... Yes, this is not the whole LS 0.95. If you followed the chronicle of work on version 0.95, you already know that we had certain problems with it, including translation.

The situation has improved. Great thanks to everyone who helps us with English language! But at the moment, some new quests are still in the process of translation. An alternative option could be another postponing the release of the full 0.95 (or even switch to the "ASAP-mode"), but that would just be infair. Therefore, we decided to publish 0.95 by parts as soon as ready, with the addition of start options for quick access to new content.

As you probably remember, we've recently released the LS 'Tentacle edition', where a part of the this big quest was shown. In the first part of LS 0.95, it gets an additional big development: another character joins the scene.

We also made a sequel of the quest with the password of robbers (Betsy and Belle are waiting for new adventures ^__^). This, in fact, is one of the main lines in the plot, which leads to the emergence of some new characters and situations.

We plan to release LS 0.95 part 2 on April 10th (we’ll still have to get remained translations). Thus, the break between the releases will be very short.

We understand that the fuss with LS 0.95 turned out to be too time-consuming, with all those postponements and other difficulties... But we made some conclusions from this situation, which we're about to discuss with you... But after the release of v.0.95 completely, of course. We hope that you'll be interested in plot twists of this part of LS 0.95. The second part is also around the corner.
0.94b - Tentacle Tree Edition
This version is designed solely to demonstrate some new content of the tentacle tree storyline. For a simplified start, part of the other quests is considered completed, and Belle has “fixed” parameters, so do not try to pass other quests - you may encounter bugs in the logic of the game. In fact, to view the new content you need only two locations: Belle's house and the garden. For the rest, it is still the same version 0.94, to which we transferred the part of the new content from v.0.95.
For this version no passwords are needed, we release it only for you, our patrons, so all bonuses are included ino the game by default.
Here are two starting points. One from the moment when Belle started milking tentacles, for those who want to remember what happened there before. The second right before the start of new content.
An important point - we transferred to this version about a half of the tentacle-related content from LS 0.95. Behind the scenes there are two mini-games, the Gaston-defender part (with excellent rewards from the damsel in distress!), the line with another character who will also closely meet the tentacle-tree in 0.95 ... In general, you'll have a decent amount of content to see in the upcoming release, even in this storyline, not to mention others.
0.94b
As we've already said, we added a new educational interactive into the game (Gaston's Training quest).
In order to access it, you need to start the quest for Bed Skills level 2, convince Belle to start learning Gaston, then to see a couple of familiar training scenes... After that you will have the opportunity to try out the educational interactive episode, the idea of which, by the way, was appeared from the writing of Gaston's Training quest itself.
Pay attention that if you load the previous saves, then your progress of the quest for Bed Skills 2 level is supposed to be reset, even if you've already completed it. Version 0.94b should support saving from versions 0.94 and 0.93.
We recommend to try repeatedly different options - the results may be unexpected. In addition, pay attention to the fact that the teacher's outfit changes as you progress the educational quest, which has an impact on the educational interactive.
Now some words about the workflow.
Despite the fact that the new educational interactive is the largest at the moment in our game, the work on it took an inadmissibly long time Of course, we tried to make this interactive episode different from the previous ones (there are some real-time elements here - try to click on the "flashing" buttons as quickly as possible at the right moments! ^__^).
