Build 04.06.21 release notes

Hey everyone, a new release is out today!

However, it may not be what you were expecting. This build contains mostly a lot of changes on the HTopia Canvas platform.

Let's talk about the few changes in the game first:

+New Nightclub original artwork BG has been added to the game, you can visit the Nightingales near Downtown Digital Square to appreciate the new artwork, it definitely gives a good vibe.

+The Audio system has now been completely migrated to the HTopia Engine, so it can be shared with HTopia Canvas simulator.

+All audio systems within the game now use the engine's audio system.

+Sprite based characters now have the ability to wear "outfits". This will make very easy to add outfits to sprite based characters in the future and in the Canvas platform.

Next up are the changes in the Canvas platform:

+Creators now can add their own items to the game, this will come in handy to add new outfits to the characters created via the Canvas platform.

+Creators can now add outfits to Sprite based characters:

Sprite based outfits allow you to override specific expressions for the character with a different sprite using a particular outfit for example.

+You can now manage your character's inventory. This allows you to create items for a given outfit you created in the character editor and add the item to their inventory so they start using it during a given ocassion:

+Creators can now add their own Audio to  the game and link it to their dialogues to enrich them with voiced dialogues:

You can even split one single audio file into multiple named audio "sprites" which allows you to play multiple voiced lines from that single audio file.

As you can see most of the updates are related to the Canvas platform.

One of the reasons is because currently my CG artist is going through some personal issues and hasn't been able to work on the rest of Arane's 2nd ending, so please bear with me as we get back to a regular pace.

That's all for now. If you're a Patron, thank you so much for supporting me and if you don't have the link for the HTopia Canvas platform and would like to test it just message me here, or through Twitter, or Discord's Patreon channel.

Cheers!
