DD 0.44.0 release

So the new update is available by automated update, it should show up on the bottom left in the main menu.

You can also always download it manually:

Ultralight (Win)

Ultralight (Mac&Linux)

Light

Lossless

Native (Normal build)

If you guys want the upscaled pack I can upload it, but since this update doesn't really include any new scenes, but rather portraits and backgrounds I wasn't sure if it would be worth it.

But...

Let me know and I'll build and upload it.

In this version we started the process of reworking the background images. 

As we are getting close to a satisfactory amount of content in this  game, we felt that it was time to increase the overall quality of the game.
So we started including the characters in the background. That is something Vaasref tried to push for a while now. 

He really thinks that having Yuki  casually petplaying in the background at home will add some flavor to  it...

What do you guys think about that?

But alas !
A certain pandemic kind of killed our momentum. Vaasref also moved back to France so there is also that.

Anyway, after seeing that the last update was already 2 month old Vaasref restarted the engine. He had a playtest version since February and it  just needed a little bit work to make it release worthy.
But it is a stopgap. There is basically no new content...

But the gameplay  got reworked quite a bit and should make the process of buying toys a  whole lot easier.

The save compatibility is kept however you might need to re-buy some toys since some changed name or got bundled with others.

• The notifications can also have a weird behavior when it comes to rollback.
• The travel menu sometime stay visible when the rest of the GUI is hidden

That's all for now.
Like I explained in an earlier post, there are some reasons for what I think is a smaller update from my side at least.

I do hope that you guys enjoy it nonetheless.

And again, from the bottom of hearts.
Thank you guys!

Cheers.
