Hey everyone!

A new update for My Siren Crush Remix has (finally) arrived! This update includes Arianna Season 1, Episode 3, A major UI overhaul and some significant improvements and fixes to the game.

Please note: This update will be a lot bigger than usual and the game’s file size will increase quite a bit. In addition to this, all saves prior to update 2.0.0 may no longer work properly due to a significant amount of changes being made to the game so keep this in mind before updating!

Arianna

Special

• Added missing choices to Special, Episodes 1, 2 and 4.
• Fixed a bug where MC’s head sprite would remain on screen after selecting the choice “Ignore him” in Special Episode 4.

Season 1

• Added Season 1, Episode 3 to the game! (This was done way before I started work on L&L Remix, hence why I have added this episode to the game.)

General

• Every single full body sprite in the game has been updated. They should look a lot sharper than before!
• Just like with my other Lovestruck remake, (Love & Legends Remix), game saves now have labels telling you what route, season, and episode you are playing.
• The old game start procedure has been removed.
• When playing the game for the first time, you will be prompted to select the MC’s name after selecting an episode.
• When choosing the MC’s name, unnecessary inputs are blocked, and pre-defined names are now disallowed, prompting you to select another name.
• The old “Episode Select” feature has been made obsolete by the UI overhaul and has been removed from the game. The “Episode Select” text button has also been removed from the game menu.

UI

• Just like my other remake, (Love & Legends Remix), My Siren Crush Remix will also be getting a very similar UI overhaul! The main goal for this overhaul is to make it easier and faster for people to read their favourite routes whilst making the game look more visually appealing.
• Fixed multiple issues where the blue CTC (Click to Continue) icon at the bottom right corner of the screen would not appear during dialogue.
• Fixed multiple instances of lines of dialogue missing quotation marks and underlined name tags.

All Routes

• All choice menus in the game that only has 1 choice has been removed to streamline the gameplay.

Lexi

Special

• Improved an animation where MC dives off her surfboard in Special episode 1.
• Improved an animation where MC jumps onto her surfboard in Special episode 1.
• Fixed a bug in Special Episode 3 where the MC’s name tag was incorrectly used when she was talking from her point of view in the bathroom.

Season 1

• Fixed a bug in Season 1, Episode 9 where MC’s head sprite was not hidden properly and would appear behind her full body sprite during the choice “Do your own tricks.”

Maxime

Special

• Added missing choices to Special Episodes 1, 2 and 3.
• Made a minor adjustment to an animation in Special Episode 3 where the MC leaves the scene to go inside a closet.
• Fixed a bug in Special Episode 3 where Camilla’s full body sprite is not hidden properly when her head sprite is displayed on screen.
• The size of Camilla’s head sprite has been zoomed in significantly when she meets Maxime at the end of Special Episode 3.
• Made multiple adjustments to sprite positions in the ocean scenes in Special Episode 5 so that Maxime and MC is not floating in the air.

Sprites

• Made Maxime’s head sprite slightly bigger.
• Made multiple height adjustments to all of MC’s full body sprites.
• Added blinking animations to Ned’s full body sprite. (The game has been out since mid-January, and I completely forgot to add his blink animations for some reason lol.)

VFX

• Replaced the sprite used for the rain effect with a much better version.

Animations

• Made some minor improvements and changes to multiple character positions and animations.

Android

• Created a new app icon for the Android version of the game featuring Arianna!
• Increased the size of multiple buttons and icons in choice menus and the gallery.

Other

• Updated the game engine from Ren’Py 8.1.0 to Ren’Py 8.1.2.
• Removed the changeable main menus when completing a season in a route. (Personally, I don’t think that this feature was necessary in the first place, and it created a bit of unneeded bloat to the game’s code.)
• Made some backend improvements to the game’s code.

Thanks!
