That's right! So let's chat a bit about this new build.

First, Karnal has a new PLOT route, and I had a lot of fun writing about his job and Aiden's job too!

Secondly, The game has a new feature and two major fixes:

1 - Suggest and Report:

Back in the day when I had enough resources, Just Friends had an Online Report feature. You could both report to me a crash (by using the feature and writing to me that a crash would happen after that dialogue), or send me a correction suggestion. I revived this feature in an "offline" manner. By clicking on Suggest and Report button (After the Help button), you can chose if you want t send me a Report of a Correction. The correction is always by default, but by pressing the top button on the screen you can generate a Report file. Now, these files alone do nothing, you have to use them as e-mail annexed files on the game's e-mail*, and name the message accordingly (Is it a suggestion or a bug report?). You should only send Suggestions files on a Suggestion e-mail, and a Report file with a Bug Report e-mail with the log created by Godot (on the same appdata folder).

By pressing this button, this window will show:

By pressing this option, the window changes like this:

The files generated are saved in the correction_data/ folder on the appdata/justfriends folder.

To send errorpoitner.data file, don't forget to also send the latest log created in the logs/ folder at the same appdata/justfriends folder on your system.

Just as a reminder: Send multiple correction files for the justfriends e-mail at once with the title "Suggestion of Corrections", but only send one errorpointer and godot.log files with the title "Bug Report". Don't send suggestions and Bug reports in the same e-mail body, please.

2 - Skip Feature Fixed:

The Skip Feature was finally fixed, after a long time doing some changes with the whole system and thanks to some outside help from people who is far better at logic than I am, I was able to figure out how to track down the actual Character Duplication Glitch. With it fixed, the Skip Feature now can show characters without issues, not only that but manual skipping is also enabled again. Sometimes, the skip may stop, and this is due to a particular fix I had to do on the code, to avoid the options of showing BEFORE the text were fully typed on screen, so, sometimes the Skip may stop sometimes it will keep on going after you move on to the next route or day, but it will ALWAYS stop on questions to answer. So don't worry.

3 - Last Dialog Skip bug:

The last dialog before an route ends, would automatically skip after finishing typing.

I have no idea if this happened because of the new system that was created (The skip feature fix was just a side-effect of another bug I had found, like I mentioned before, answers would show before the dialog finished typing), if it was the Dialog Skip feature that caused it or if if it always happened but people never cared since the game DOES have a Log menu. Either way, this is now fixed too.

This month was a month of renewal for Just Friends. It was very taxing, but I'm glad with the new stuff in the game. I hope you guys are too.

Just Friends Build 0.74 is available for Tier 2+ patrons, and the link with the content will be send to all Tier2 patrons shortly. If you're joining Patreon as a Tier 2 HOURS after this post you can always ask me directly for the link. Usually any new patron will get the link for the latest build, one to five hours after they became patrons unless it's bed time for me, but every morning I also check the notifications here. So if you're hasty, send me a message, as soon as I check here I will send you the link.
