💬 Beta update: Saving girls
🕑 Added 2025-01-08 16:16:40 +0000 UTCHi guys!
The holiday season is over and Lolly got back to her usual look.
Patreon (Dandies) release gets a small update to remove Christmas effects and to fix character name generation. Also all requested names were included to the list. Say hi to Phoebe, Alisa, Alicia, Claire, Jesse, Tiffany, Lola and Compa-San! More about that in ‘Name your Lolly’.
But the most interesting piece is next: the result of my holiday rush is uploaded to Beta.
Welcome the ‘Album’ feature!
When you’re happy with the character created, just click the heart button aside of name to save her to your album. Then your creation will be saved every 30 seconds automatically. So don’t think of it as a hard save/load system, but rather the possibility to meet the partner again.
For now the traits and clothes are saved, however the ‘undressed’ clothes are equipped back when loading the save and mood is randomized. In future I’ll also add to it the personality progression and some kind of ‘memories’ about previous meetings.
In the ‘Album’ window you can see all your favorite girls!
Note the nuance: ‘make a twin’ button creates a copy of the save slot. So as you’re unable to easily revert the changes you made to your partner, use this for experiments or back ups.
The next large piece (and it took the most time) is saving player data in the cloud!
On the game start you have now the choice to play as a guest or to sign in to your account. Note that neither account nor internet connection are the mandatory requirement – you can play exactly as earlier and save the girls locally, just with no cloud sync feature.
When signed in you’re able to select up to 8 slots to be synced (4 for public version). The next time you sign in, cloud slots contents are downloaded to your device, so now you can call on your favorite girls anytime and anywhere.
Note for Safari users: your browser has overcomplicated security limitations, so I was unable to implement proper local data storage. This means you are limited to only cloud slots for the nearest future. Or you can go to your browser settings and uncheck ‘Prevent cross-site tracking’ option to get the full-working saves. Unfortunately sometimes it’s not that simple to make things for Apple.
All of these is still WIP so there are some limitations for now:
There is no option to log out from your account for now, I will add it later. Just sacrificed it to deliver the update sooner to you -_-.
Auto-saving might not be ideal, so don’t forget to re-check that your girls are saved and synced before closing the game.
Email sending is still in development mode, so it’s limited to my address at the moment. While it’s so, I’ll collect your emails and re-send them to you manually if there's a request. I hope to resolve this soon as well.
The last moment I figured out that Unity does not properly support text inputs on mobile, so I had to add some weird lib to make it working. It’s ugly as hell but seems to work stable. Also it appears to block running the game with itch.io app. So now I’m going to spend the next few days trying to make it appropriate.
Well.. that’s it. I hope I didn’t forget anything important.
Enjoy your Lollies! ;-)
