alpha 3.4
- story-wise, all of the guys' first and second scenarios are done. they may be elaborated upon or rewritten a bit in the future, but they're there.
- you now reply to letters from the letters menu whenever you want. there's no longer a separate scene for replying. (note: I just thought of a better way of doing this, but this feature is already here. I'll implement the slightly better way in the next release)
- there's a letters tutorial at the beginning of chapter two and a points tutorial after the first choice in chapter one. these are on persistent variables--so once you've seen the tutorials once, you never have to see them again (even if you start a new game) unless you erase the persistent data.
- the letters button only shows up after this tutorial, so you don't have to worry anymore about opening the letters menu and there being nothing there. :P
- the images are now in subfolders. this doesn't actually affect much of anything, just made things a bit easier for me, organization-wise.
- I've made it so it's no longer possible to have negative stat/affection points. no matter what, your points can be no lower than 0.
- I've balanced the affection points for the first two chapters. the maximum affection points a guy can have at the end of chapter 2 is 65 points. to get their scenarios to show up in chapter three, you need 30 points with a guy. I think that's pretty fair.
- removed the ability to reply to the letter tetsu sends you after your little park date in chapter two. this gave him an unfair edge, points-wise. he still sends you a letter, you just don't get to reply to it.
- I've changed it so the whole "I think this is the beginning of love with ___" bit (at the end of the perfume contest routes) is only triggered if you have 40 points with a guy.
Point balancing for chapter three will happen when it's done. While you don't HAVE to start over your game, it'd probably be best to do so since I've changed so much, points-wise...
