While things start to wrap up for Eldritch University, I've been looking into what can be done for Flowering Nightshade and my other future projects. In the process of doing some GUI cleanup for that game, I decided to port some of the improvements and changes back to Blooming Nightshade as well.

Blooming Nightshade v9 (APK-x86) 38 MB. Blooming Nightshade v9 (MAC) 32 MB. Blooming Nightshade v9 (PC) 50 MB. Can be harvested by using Blooming Purple Nightshade plants, which grow in a cave below Grimvale. Needed in the Grimvale Quest. Spoiler ends here. This item is not dropped by any creatures.

The major changes in this update include:

Nov 12, 2020 Use Night Shift on your Mac Night Shift automatically shifts the colors of your display to the warmer end of the color spectrum after dark. Studies have shown that exposure to bright blue light in the evening can affect your circadian rhythms and make it harder to fall asleep.

• A new title screen that hopefully feels less bland.
• The 'Start' option opens a story selection screen, like in Flowering Nightshade. After finishing the prologue, the other stories can be started from this menu instead of playing the prologue again or skipping it. This screen has also been updated to show the face of the character associated with each story.
• The file menus have been modified to be less reliant on pages. Now there are just 2-3 pages: Main, Auto, and (on PCs) Quick. Each page has 12 slots, which are accessed via scrolling. NOTE: This means that saves past the first page from previous versions may not be visible after updating to this version.
• The preferences menu has been renamed 'Config' to fit with some of the other spacing changes. The menu should also be easier to use on phones now, since it makes better use of the space rather than trailing off the screen.
• The PC quick menu bar has been rearranged to include more options, and the quick menu text is bigger on all devices.
• The ability to set text background and font has been brought over from Flowering Nightshade.
• All of the character portraits have been re-exported at a higher resolution. This can cause some strange resizing artifacts when the window is too small, but will improve the maximum quality of the character art when in fullscreen mode (based on the resolution of the device).

Some examples of the changes:

Also, while I don't have any current plans for translations for the game, I've been looking into how they could be handled. If there's an interest, I could potentially work on ways to include translations for the game:

The downside of this update is that the download section is starting to get crowded, so for now I'm going to trim down the number of versions to the most recent versions of the game. I'm not going to delete v9 or v10 right now, but some of the downloads for those versions may be disabled for the time being.

Otherwise, I hope everyone enjoys the update!

Today is a special day: the release of the first non-demo build of Blooming Nightshade!

This version includes pretty much every feature that was originally intended for the game. While there may be updates in the future, the game is probably pretty stable unless bugs are found and need to be fixed. Here are the notable changes from the previous version:

• Added 'Afterstory' events, viewable from the scene gallery after completing that character's romance ending.
• Added a new ending to 'Week B3' event.
• Added character name colors, to make it easier to tell who is speaking.
• Added font selection. Now you can use the font from the logo as the text font, or stick with the old font for readability.
• Several minor bug and typo fixes.

I hope people enjoy this first 'full' version of the game!
