Pizza Hot v0.13 Official Release
And here it is. Probably one of the most stable and performant releases I've ever launched.
It goes without saying, but I'll clarify all the same, that these nine months haven't been all spent on content creation. Most of the time has been invested in making the engine what it is now: a solid base for creating new events at a quicker pace.
So, v0.13 has a focus on Kayla. There are multiple scenes with her, two new locations in the apartment (you're now supposed to walk around, but the old navigation panel is still accessible with 'Tab'), the introduction to a new shop at the mall, and a New Game customization mode that will allow you to skip content from previous versions in a very granular way.
And, as I said, you'll notice a sharp increase in performance, the result of having redesigned how the game manages NPCs, their recycling process, and culling.
Oh, and there is an experimental feature also: I've put together a preconfigured auto-translation plugin that you can use in case English isn't your cup of tea. Open the ReadMe file in the game folder, if you're interested.
From now on I'll focus on small but more frequent updates, while I steadily work in the background on the very much anticipated restaurant gameplay revamp, which I foresee will be the real soul of the game.
v0.14 will come out in January.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
