Hello there! I'm finally back with another Progress Report. If you haven't seen the first one, please check it out here!
The development of the 0.02 build is going smoothly, and if it keeps going at this rate...
I may be able to release the beta version in December! (Followed by the early access a few days later.)
Just like with the animated arrows at the map exits and the Lusty app update, I've added some visual cues to the girls:
- Exclamation: indicating that she has a new quest for you
- Question Mark: indicating that you are already doing a quest for her.
- Heart: Indicating that she has a new scene quest available.
I've added this new "Help" option to the Phone Menu, where you can find all the tutorials and tips about the game mechanics:
I've also gone through the majority of the events on the game and fixed things such as:
- Grammar errors/inconsistencies
- Wrong/missing event calls (For example, Mabel's sleeping scene not clearing with the Leave option)
- Tweaks to some variables to better keep track of the player's progression
The art is one of the most time-consuming parts of the game, but I don't want to rush it and add something with a bad quality to the game.
So, I'm doing my best to keep the quality while not taking days on a single character or scene.
Last month, I posted Pacifica's sketches for my Shooting Star and Six Fingers patrons, so here's the final version of her:
A little peek of another character that is present at the v0.02:
(Shooting Star and Six Fingers patrons will have access to her full image, and a new scene sketch on an upcoming post.)
And a few more things related to the art:
- Minor tweaks were made to the main character design to better resemble the original one.
- A new pose for the main character was made to better portray his emotions.
- I fixed a problem with the timing of Wendy's scene that could cause a desync with the audio.
I want to thank all of you for the fantastic support!
I've never thought my game would get this much love so fast, even with all its problems.
That's why I'm doing my best to make this new update a really good one!
And about the Discord Server that many people are asking me about. I will be releasing it together with the Early Access!
Thanks again, and I hope this was informative!
See you soon!
