Wani: Red Pen

Description
Copyedit? QA pass? Alternate directors cut? All three describe this project.

Cavemanon left a fair amount on the table with Wani. It's a shame. Unimplemented assets, comments on things they wish they did... And while they may have artful writers, the grammar leaves much to be desired in areas.



Alterations include, but are not limited to:
- Rudimentary proofreading,
- Shored up, reworked, or cut innumerable lines, *
- Patched wonky animations,
- Expanded animation in spots,
- Integration of unused assets where appropriate,
- Swapped cg/bgs out in relevant/contradicting places,
- Implemented dummied out devcode and notes,
- Major rework of soundtrack integration (fill in silent spots that aren't silent for a good reason, reinforce motifs, etc),
- Minor foley work using creative commons licensed stuff,
- Added switch in options to change which background is used on the main menu,
- Minor improvements to gallery (ordering, full unlock if seen epilogue, etc)

...and zillions of other tweaks and fixes. If you want a full changelog, you'll have to read the script files yourself. Every chapter of the novel has been touched, and I've written extensive margin notes.



* To be clear, this is an unsanctioned fan edit. I have done everything in my power to keep to the soul of the story. Meaning changes exist, but they're mostly limited. There is only one place I feel I truly overreached, and that's in E1 (and even then, the soul is maintained). However, opinions can differ, and I don't know what would be too far for a given reader. Caveat emptor, I suppose.



Special thanks to JustDeni. They were gracious enough to supply a secondary proofread, which has been integrated into this project.

Excellent mod! Played through the game again all the way to E4's epilogue, being delighted at the changes I did notice the mod added. Thank you for creating this! :gatorhappy:

never mind, soon as i say that i figured it out. apparently this mod doesnt play nice with the Rebirth and Recovery, and Snoot Core lib mods.

Just got this, and I'm getting exception errors popping up occasionally. Honestly not sure what to do.

Played with this a while ago and am only now realizing just how disappointed I am with the state of the base game. Some of these fixes you made are so simple and obvious that I didn't realize they were from your mod. The devs should seriously consider integrating your edits.

Anyway, good stuff! :gatorhappy:

I have added no songs. All are present in the OST/base game files. You can find them in game/audio/music. The major recuts are:

- The OST track "Mural de Melanoma"* has two distinct movements. I split it into two loops.
- The song that plays at the resort is called "Finding Yourself" on the B-side. Turns out there are a few tracks on the B-side that weren't used. This is the only one present in the game files.
- All the various tracks that play during the formal are used, but they're all queued together with the queue constantly being reset, so it's unlikely you'll hear any except the first track in the base game. It's a major shame, StegoStarry Night is great.



* Why the fuck is it called this? Mural is nearly identical to the track "Inco and Olivia" but much more involved, and it acts as their primary couple theme. "Inco and Olivia" plays only once in the novel, at the BBQ where they call the painting mural de melanoma. The names should have been swapped.

VERY late to the party with this but it's genuinely fantastic, almost every single change positively affects the game and in all honesty any excuse to just play the game again was a good enough reason to try it out. Absolutely fantastic work on this. :gatordoll:

(One thing is there any place to find the Red-Pen OST?? some of the added songs are actually amazing and i wouldn't mind simply hearing them fully even if its just through digging through the Local Files of the mod)
