+## Installation
+
+### If you want to create a new project with it
+
+1. Download the last [release](https://github.com/rakugoteam/Rakugo-Game-Template/releases/latest)
+1. Unzip the archive
+1. Import the project from the [Godot](https://godotengine.org) Project Manager
+
+### If you have already a project
+
+1. Download the last [release](https://github.com/rakugoteam/Rakugo-Game-Template/releases/latest)
+1. Unzip the archive
+1. Copy the addons/RakugoGameTemplate folder in your project folder
+1. In the scenes folder, copy what you are interested in
+1. Enable the plugin in the Project Settings (Plugins tab)
+1. Reload the project
+1. Eventualy set some values in the ProjectSettings (see bellow)
+
+## What do you need to know
+
+### Project Settings
+
+In your Project Settings, enable "Advanced Settings". In Application/Addons/RakugoGameTemplate you can set some values.
+
+* **Loading Scene Path** is the path to the Loading Scene of your project. It is used by the SceneLoader when you change scene
+* **Main Menu Path** is the path to the Main Menu scene of your project. It is used when you return to the Main Menu from the Pause Menu
+* **First Game Scene Path** is the path to the First Game Scene of your project. It is used when you click on the play button in the Main Menu
+
+### Autoloads
+
+When you enabled the plugin it will add some autoloads
+
+* **SceneLoader** you can use it to load scene with the method *change_scene*(path_tscn:String, wait_after_load:bool = true). It will pause the tree, make a transition to the Loading Scene, before the end of the transition the tree is unpaused, then it load the wanted scene, after wait or not an action from the player, pause the tree again, a last transition to the desired scene and at the end after the transition is finished, unpause the tree.
+
+```gd
+const level_12 = "res://scenes/levels/level_12.tscn"
+...
+SceneLoader.change_scene(level_12)
+```
+
+* **Transitions** you can use it to make a transition with the method *transition*(transition_type, reverse:bool). transition_type are {Swipe,Square,Circle,Diamond,Line}. Transitions always works instead the tree is paused. It will not pause the tree for you, you should handle it.
+
+```gd
+get_tree().paused = true
+Transitions.transition(Transitions.transition_type.Square)
+await Transitions.animation_player.finished
+get_tree().pause = false
+```
+
+* **UISoundManager** you do not need to call him, it will do the work for you. The only thing to do is to open "res://addons/rakugo_game_template/Autoloads/UISoundManager/UISoundManager.tscn" and parametrize the values of the main node *UISoundManager*. *Audio Bus* is the name of the audio bus the AudioStreamPlayer will use to play the "bip bip boup" of your UI. The next both values are Array. They will be use to take sound inside them randomly except if you add only just one. The first Array is for *pressed* sounds and the second *hovered* ones.

+
+Hi everyone, welcome to **9th** devlog of **Rakugo Project** in year 2024.
+If you find my projects useful, you can support the project via **[Patreon]**.
+Thank you very much, if you decided to do!
+
+## Incremental Releases and Updates
+
+I recently realized that I was approaching Rakugo projects
+and my other own projects come in a way that neither serves you.
+Instead of staying under pressure to create their optimal version
+with all the options I can think of, I switching into incremental releases/updates!
+
+### What I understand as Incremental Releases/Updates
+With this post I abandon this approach,
+now I will try to release the minimum version of the project first,
+then in subsequent updates I will add only a few new options and fixes.
+
+You will soon see how it works as **Visual Novel Kit 2.0** will soon land here,
+which is currently at the stage of implantation of the **Save/Load system**. 
+
+## Rakugo Game Template v1.1

+
+## Godot Icons Fonts
+
+Projects **Godot Material Icons** and **Emojis for Godot**
+soon will be combined into one project called **Godot Icons Fonts**.
+Now I'm working on it, version 1.0 of this new project is almost ready,
+I just need find way to fix one bug.
+
+Why I'm combining those two projects, answer is simple.
+They was almost the same code base, so it was every tedious to keep them both.
+It also make easier for me to add new features or improve existing ones.
+
+The main changes:
+- New **FontIconSettings** resource
+![](/images/icons-fonts/FontIconSettings.png)
+- Better **FontIconButton** as now it can have label
+![](/images/icons-fonts/IconButtons.png)
+- Option do dock to Bottom IconsFinder
+![](/images/icons-fonts/IconFinder-MI.png)
+![](/images/icons-fonts/IconFinder-Emojis.png)
+
+_See you next Week or Two._
