One Year Anniversary Update (1.1)



This month marks the one year anniversary of the public release of Hopepunk City 1.0, so I decided an update was in order, a first anniversary patch (version 1.1) .

There is no new content, but some of the images and text has been updated.  There are now TWO versions of Android, one at low resolution and mono sound designed for low end / older android devices, and one high resolution (1920x1080) Stereo sound designed for use on high end android devices.  I have not had much luck getting these to work with old installs so installing either will likely overwright your current game destroying old saved games and progress, but the new high resolution and help paths, are definitely worth the new install.

The biggest addition is the help paths which you can find by clicking "Help" on the main menu.  There are three categories of help: Dialog help (magenta), romance help (red) and career help (orange).

I've tested all the paths and they are working fine, but you will likely see multiple colored choices, especially when shopping or planning your week.  In those cases, it is mostly use your own judgement.

The rest of the changes -- dialog and graphical changes -- are mostly making the game work as a sequel to Date Ariane Remastered and Something's In The Air Redux. The image below has been updated by improving the lighting of the original, but also the pictures of Rachel on the back wall are from the SITAR version of "Beach".  Because this image also appears in Date Ariane Remastered, there may be a small update of DAR in the future.

I updated all the photo wall images where they appear, also the Drive-N-Dine now has the new SITAR wall photos. A couple of close-ups of Ariane where her skin looks rough have been smoothed out.  Also Ariane in the Council Chambers scene is now wearing the purple outfit from Date Ariane Remastered.

The epilogue has been updated. Ariane is now sporting Date Ariane Remastered hair in the epilogue, and the random name shout outs are pulled from the current list of Patreon subscribers as of September 3rd  (I plan to update the list around the end of the month, if you want to be included). 

Finally there are some dialog changes, some spelling/grammar corrections, and some to be more in line with Date Ariane Remastered and Something's In The Air Redux, for example when you go with Ariane to her old pool, it is clear that it is the "one behind her old house", not the one in her "old back yard".

This means that Date Ariane Remastered, Ariane in Paradise, and Hopepunk City are now fully updated with walkthrough paths, leaving Something In The Air Redux (which will include Rachel Meets Ariane once it is completed) as the last piece of the full saga puzzle.

Demos have not been updated and there are no plans to do so.
