Beginning Polaroid and v0.4
Added 2019-01-17 09:04:47 +0000 UTCv0.3 was really fun. I received a few bugs here and there but overall it was a solid release. Thanks for playing it if you did.
v0.4 is going to have more fun stuff and I am starting off with a polaroid camera. This will be used for keeping memories with Shinobu. I will make each photo be stored on the client side so they will be saved when you close the game, and loaded when the user logs back in. Additionally you will be able to "stick" them to walls in your house. I am still formulating what kind of behaviors this will bring about but I would also like Shinobu to be able to take pictures of you. So far I have modeled and textured the camera and the polaroid frames:
If you posted a sticker in the Discord, I slapped it onto the camera model. Right now I'm writing the code for creating and storing the photo images but I have finished the pickup logic and hold forms for the camera model.
One new improvement for keyboard users is separating the right and the left hand. Thereby allowing the player to multi-task animations and improving responsiveness. So you'll be able to hold the camera, and command shinobu to wave hello and/or come here at the same time. This should make for some cute photos.
I'm currently brainstorming what new features to include for v0.4. I will include the following:
- Poking
- Sleeping
- Day/Night cycles
- Weather?
If you have any cool new ideas, post them below as a comment and I'll be sure to read them. If you just joined this Patreon, welcome!
Stay tuned for more updates.

Princess carrying is in the backlog but it will probably be implemented far later because I don't have a use for it yet.

Not sure how much of a nightmare that would be to program, but since you are asking for suggestions, maybe a means to pick her up by the waist? That would be cute. I am excited to watch this progress < 3
