♥ JKHA 0.9.2 Update! ♥

Hi Everyone! ♥

Now that my Winter VN Jam game, "Hot Cocoa Magic!"'s complete, I can continue updating JKHA and other projects!

Later this month, I'm going to be taking part in Visual;Conference, an online conference for Visual Novel Devs! I'm super excited to take part, especially as this conference and it's youtube channel was a factor in my own development as a dev. (Please check it out if you're a VN dev yourself!)

Due to the nature of my talk ( "Enriching a player’s experience with RNG") I wanted to make sure JKHA can be an example of what I'll be talking about alongside my other games!

The 0.9.2 update includes:

• -  Nala now has different accessories! They'll change day to day as the story progresses.
• -  The sky now is also a little more varied- the clouds now are randomized for every time it's shown.
• - Changes to name input and the screen associated with it, Name now no longer will be automatically capitalized
• - Kerning on the name box changed to improve readablity.
  
• - The sparkle and anger symbol expressions are now animated.
• - Smoother transition back to the main menu after completing the game.

Here's a glimpse at some of the Nanalas that might show up in your playthrough:

Nala drip update!

A demonstration of both the changes to the name system/kerning, and one of the new cloud variations that can appear.

Small updates to the input screen (Right is the new one, bigger text and now  preferences/main menu buttons at the bottom)

For the next update, I'd like to include the stats screen, and have some CGs in the game sometime in the first half of 2023 (ideally before the 1 year mark!)

Progress is being made on the stat screen specifically- If you'd like to see the WIP, it's over on my twitter!

JKHA continues to be enjoyed by people, I'm so thankful! - 18k+ Views and 4k+ downloads so far! 

Thank you SO much to everyone who's played JKHA!
