Website update!

Content:

+Almost 2300 artworks uploaded, caught up to January 2024.

+Some new animations made for Lake Mystery story.

Dev:

+The gallery now live updates every 5 minutes- if I upload new pictures while you scroll, you'll see it!

+By default the blacklist only blacklists NSFW images now, there is a toggle to apply it to all pictures.

+Started work on a tab for projects like Bound for Glory.

+Pseudo for new animation system put in place.

+Iframe dialogue exists! Other websites can be opened in a window within the game.

+Issues with character speech fixed, (but no sounds for it yet)

+Sprite system can handle longer sprites now (but will be reworked later)

+Link embed! Gallery pics embed with preview of said picture, other links have randomised images and sentences.

+Scenes build up to 50 times faster now, specifically thanks to using “textures the GPU understands” (ktx2). Low res images are loaded in first and replaced with high ers assets as background task.

+Mobile detection, GPU detection, and hardware acceleration detection are working— so the site will warn you if it might struggle to run it, and provides a simple version without the world if you need.

What's next?

+Upload all pictures from 2024.

+Clean up code in two scenes (Mushroom and Lake Mystery) and add one more graphic for Lake Mystery.

+Rainy weather graphics.

+Character speech sounds.
