The Bitch Switch! [Ch. 2 v20240719] [Echo Hollow]

Ch2 20240712 — In addition to adding the second scene of Chapter 2, the following bugs are also addressed:

Brandi’s pink sweatpants at the end of chapter 1 were changed to pink shorts in order to better match the available artwork. There is code in the game that should fix this automatically. But if that doesn’t work and Shay is not wearing any pants when you load an old saved game, enter “Game.Shay.apparel.add(‘swap_shorts’)” in your browser’s JS console, and then play to the next scene to get it to stick.

Fixed bug where Dramatis Personae was not displaying the correct viewpoint character post-swap and some character description popups were still displaying from Shay’s perspective.

Fixed bug preventing video media from looping properly.

Fixed bug causing auto-removed clothing to disappear forever (or hacked around it rather, as this whole module will be replaced with a newer better apparel system at some point).

Some of the internal tracking of plot progress has changed. The game should detect this when you load an old save and fix everything to work right, but if you have problems (namely the game thinking you haven’t met Logan when you actually have) and you don’t want to start a new game, holler at me on Discord and I’ll help you fix it with a console command. I’d also like to have a copy of your save game so I can troubleshoot why it didn’t automatically fix itself. Save game compatibility between releases is very important to me and I want to make sure that it’s always working as it should!

The game wasn’t remembering whether or not Shay gave in to his autoerotic urges after the swap. This will cause some minor flavor text in the following scene to not show up when you load an old save game. You can fix this by entering “Game.Shay.hasWankedAsF = true” on your browser’s JS console and playing through to the next scene to make it stick. It’s not critical though and won’t affect anything other than a little bit of text, at least for now! Unfortunately there is no way to fix this in the old save automatically.

I made a mistake with the apparel that Shay can borrow from Brandi’s room, in that the stockings weren’t supposed to be available until later. It should fix itself when you load an old save game, but if it does throw an error for some reason please holler at me about it in the Discord.

Ch1 20240621 — Maintenance release to bring chapter 1 in-line with some of the new mechanics introduced for chapter 2.  Also removes twincest content (that just didn’t work for the kind of story that this is) and added a few clothing icon graphics that you’ll probably never see unless you really dig.
