Our Home 2.20.0
🕑 Added 2024-08-09 15:39:14 +0000 UTCHello everyone, here’s version 2.20!
First of all, we want to thank everyone for their patience. We had a small delay with this version due to a health issue with Juli. She worked very hard on the last version, and unfortunately, her surgical stitches opened up. We decided to prioritize her full recovery before resuming work. Fortunately, she is now 100% recovered, and we have finally completed this update.
With many renders to be made, we underestimated our schedule, resulting in an 8-day delay. However, we are confident that we managed to deliver exactly what we had planned.
What to expect in this version:
Renders: Yes, this version contains around 398 renders! This was necessary to ensure the depth and context we want to give to the story.
Event: For those playing in VN mode, the event will trigger automatically when clicking on any environment. For those playing in free-roam mode, the event happens on Monday at 7 AM at Norah's house.
This version features 3 new secret renders.
The focus of this and the next 2 versions is on the MC's story, fulfilling the request of our $10 patrons.
We worked hard to bring Samantha's perspective in this version. Samantha is conducting an investigation to find out if Norah and Wilson have any hidden agenda. Of course, this investigation is also deeply connected to Samantha's personal story, giving her extra motivation to seek the truth. But I'll leave the rest for you to discover while playing!
New features and improvements:
You can now customize the text color of the characters' thoughts, offering more personalization to your gaming experience.
We've added two new options allowing you to hide the buttons in the dialog box, such as the proofreader and hide screens buttons.
The main menu and preferences menu now show random images from the previous version, making the menu more dynamic and unpredictable.
We made several other improvements to the game, focusing on environmental aspects, standards, and minor visual issues.
Important fixes:
Fixed the issue when running the game using Sandboxie.
Corrected texts that appeared cut off on the screen.
Fixed the inability to close the activity screen.
Fixed a bug that allowed sending a message to Norah before renting the house, which trapped the player in the interrogation room.
Corrected the auto-voice feature that wasn't working during dialogues.
Fixed dialogues appearing in the wrong language.
Resolved a bug preventing actions at 6 AM.
Improvements to the text color selection function.
Fixed an issue preventing taking photos on the phone when the screen was resized.
And there's more:
Starting from this version, whenever possible, we will provide only the update (This version only for Windows, we are still testing the only update on macOS). This will help you save time and data, without needing to download the full version every time. We are also finalizing our automatic update system for Windows and will bring you more news about that soon!
Below are some previews of this version:

Until recently, the only way to force an "only update" on Android was to essentially give the APK the functions of a file manager. The "only update" process on Android was quite manual, and I had to deal with several users struggling to follow the necessary installation steps. A few months ago, Ren'Py, the SDK I use to develop the game, released a feature that allows direct downloads within the game. However, this will require a file server with high transfer capacity. We are still exploring a sustainable solution to implement this feature, ensuring that the "only update" on Android happens automatically and is differentiated between the public version and the exclusive version for supporters. Since I don't have an estimated timeline for when this will be ready, I haven't included this feature in the roadmap.
