Here is the latest version of the game.
The bad: I am sorry for the delay. I got stuck on coding a few things. I wanted to make it a certain way but I didn't expect it to be so difficult to make it that way. I had to do some last-minute changes and create some simple solutions and make everything vastly more simple than I intended just to get the update out. There is still a few things missing from the update that I wanted to include. The gallery is split in two sections, one for just images and one for the scenes. Almost all of the images in the game can be viewed in the gallery (even for v. 0.3 content), but the scenes can only be viewed up to v. 02. I wanted to make a quest system, but it was to complicated, so I replaced it with something much more simple.
The good: There is a decent amount of content for this update. There are a few images that I think will stand out. I am really trying to push the limits of what it's possible to do with AI-tools. I am also very excited about the direction of the story. I know exactly where I want to go, I just need to get there. Let me know what you think about the art and story in the discord!
Moving forward: Right now I am doing everything on my own and trying to figure things out as I go. Art, writing, coding, managing the discord and patreon, etc. Although I am very passionate about the project, there is only so many hours in a day. My dream is to one day quit my job and do this full time, but until then I'll just have to move forward the best way I can. I'm considering different alternatives to try and raise both the quality and quantity of updates. I understand now that, with my level of coding, it was actually completely audacious of me to think I could make what I wanted to make lol. The game barely has any complexity and I am already struggling. So one obvious solution is to not have any "quests", or variables, make the game as simple as it can possibly be. In effect turning it into a kinetic novel. But if I would decide to make a kinetic novel, then I might as well just do comics instead and just scrap the game (btw check out the first chapter of my marvel comic in the "bonus content" section of the gallery). I could still tell the story I want, with the same art, but I could do it a lot faster. I could also post much more regularly. Another solution would be to expand the team, but that has its own drawbacks. Another solution is to just say fuck it and keep going. I haven't decided in what direction I want to go in the long term. But in the short term, I want to try something new. So I've decided that the next update will be limited to just one character. I already know which one and I've already begun making art. I'm going to make it very simple and see how fast I can get this one character done. So basically the next update will be much smaller, but hopefully it will come out much faster.Anyways, that's all for know. Check out the update and let me know what you think in the discord. Also if you get stuck, or find any bugs, go to the discord and I'll do my best to help.
Cheers!
