I decided make this update smaller, and I've removed the remake portion of the previously announced planned update. That remake and early life expansion will be in the NEXT update.
So what will this update include and when will it drop? Quite a lot, really. And very soon.
Some things that weren't finished in the last post, but are finished now:- Kermit's micro-transactions are active. You'll earn Kermit Koins from completing game progression (items seen, sex had, dialogue spoken, etc). I've intentionally made these flags separated from the usual titles, but long-time players will start their saves with quite a lot of Koins.- Shops have been greatly expanded. Each merchant (beast, temple, guild) are now able to purchase from the player (and each merchant has a different set of items they prefer to purchase). The shop inventories have been expanded (temple and guild expand when you reach certain level thresholds, and the beast merchant now has 7 shop inventories that he cycles through at various timeline milestones). And finally, I've added shopping carts so that players can purchase and sell multiple items at once.- Visual updates have been finished, and now all of the screens have been updated to use the new design.- The guild quest board now uses posters to show you your quest options. This is currently only a visual change, but once the quest system is updated (next time?), new quests with minor storylines and set timelines will be added to the game world.- A new suicide screen has been added. This checks over all of your stats and notifies you of the titles you'll be earning if you kill yourself.- The in-game settings menu has been expanded with Textbox, font, and accessibility options. This will allow you to choose the opacity and border style of the textbox, as well as adds a toggle for auto-dimming bright scenes.- Over 50 items have been added to the game. Some of these are part of Kermit's Shop, some are hidden in dungeons, others are in the expanded versions of the Temple and Guild shops, and still others are hidden amongst the various versions of the Beast Merchant shop.
What still needs to be done:- Nothing.
It's in test right now, and I don't have any other things on my to-do list. Like... assuming we pass test with minimal errors, I'm going to hand a release candidate off to our wonderful German translator, and the next step is to give it to you guys.
Cheers.
