Datequest 1.1

Hello!

First of all, thanks to everyone who's played Datequest so far! It means a lot~

I'm here with a little update to improve on some things that I didn't have time to fix during the game jam. Let's get into it shall we?

Controls

• You can now choose all dialogue and menu options (including character select) using the mouse
  • Note, you can't currently use the keyboard to choose dialogue options during the game, but the menus still work fine

Menus

• Added music volume setting
• Added pause menu with music volume settings and quit option

Text

• Certain text (like stats during dialogue) now have colours and effects! It should be a bit easier to see at a glance which stats are being affected by each scenario.
• Text wrapping is now much cleaner and should not 'jump' when long words reach the end of a line. Special thanks to JuJu Adams for the Scribble addon for this!

Aesthetics

• Added a castle on the main game screen so you can see where you're aiming for
• Added a more aesthetic ending screen, allowing you to get rejected in more detail
• Added a background to the love interest's dialogue box when you hover over them to make it more readable

Balance

• Changed how scenarios are generated, meaning that you should see a lot more variety of scenarios per playthrough
• Adjusted how a a few scenarios affect stats

Fixes

• Fixed some typos
• All scenarios should now affect stats correctly as stated in the descriptions
• Items will now always be correctly added and removed from the inventory
• Fixed the shop sometimes getting stuck in a mountain for the whole game
• Fixed some endings requiring the wrong stats
• You should now only be able to receive one mysterious idol

I hope you enjoy the changes and the new power you have over music volume. I might be back with some more changes, additional scenarios and artwork in the new year, so stay tuned!
