River Oaks 0.1.1

The first patch release of the River Oaks desktop app, for Apple Silicon Macs.

What's new

Characters

• Every resident, shop guest and Prince Jev now appears in the People list and conversation header by a portrait taken from their own 3D model.
• Residents are visibly different people: each has their own hair colour from a natural palette, and half wear a hairstyle fitted from another model.
• Prince Jev's sapphires refract only when close, cutting about a third of the triangles drawn each frame at street distance.
• Starting a conversation stops you where you stand, instead of sliding into it.

Interface

• A slimmer walking console that keeps more of the street in view.
• The play rail fades at its edge while there's more to scroll, instead of cutting a card in half.
• Refused actions say why, where you're looking (for example, why you can't take flight indoors).
• Accessibility: zero WCAG 2.2 AA violations across the main views at desktop and phone sizes. The 3D view now announces itself to screen readers, and the Places headers meet the minimum tap size.
