Towergirls Unity 0.524b & Kobold Demo (Public)

 I am so damn tired of fixing bugs.

You have no idea.  So tired of them.

That said, it is still totally July, and here is the promised end of July release.  I'm probably going to be fixing bugs for a few more days before we start actually advertising, but this build is more or less the one that we'll be advertising.  Heck, I'll even be appending fixes to this same build for a little while.  Other than that, it's been a long journey, but I'm happy to announce that essentially all of the old game systems from Game Maker have been ported over to the Unity build of Towergirls.  We're finally making it.

Progress hasn't been as fast as I would have liked, but the important thing is that it's no longer as excruciatingly painful.  GameMaker was really a terrible system to work in, and since we've moved to Unity the game has been so much more stable and pleasant to develop.  Other than a little bit of burnout I am in pretty high spirits- very soon we'll be advertising and seeing how much that boosts our income.  More income means us purchasing assets and commission work, and generally speeding up development in every way.

Next up is Human Princess and probably Peasant Princess, and I'm optimistic that we'll be able to add them back into the game before the end of August, or close to it.

As always, thank you all for the continued support and interest.  None of this would be possible without you.  Stay tuned for more cool stuff (TM) coming soon.

The enable cheats cheatcode has been changed for August.  Also, in the name of fun, I've attached some before and after pictures from GMS to Unity.

Fixed a bug that could make ser unable to choose to speak with Kobold Knight and Kobold Princess

The main menu should work better for very low resolution monitors

The loading screen no longer has a disjointed, floating ser and cart on low resolution monitors.  We're making huge progress.

Added some missing Kobold Princess dialogue back into the game

Fixed an oversight that removed the dialogue options scrollbar from dialogue options with more than five choices

Fixed an issue with gendered titles (i.e. Lord/Lady) in dialogue throwing errors 

Fixed text overflowing the dialogue bounds several times during Kobold Princess' dates

The konvert siege can actually be finished and exited out of once again- dumb new transition controller was being dumb

Fixed an oversight in Kobold Knight's dialogue- was checking for the status of the wrong quest so the wrong conversations played later

Added more dialogue to Kobold Knight's 'what should we do now' dialogue option

Siege archer soldiers now use an arrow shoot sound effect when firing instead of the magicky shaman one

When given silver coins, and this loops over 100, you can no longer occasionally gain a free gold coin in the process

When creating a character, the chosen god worshiped is now saved correctly- older saves game will remain set to none

Overmap encounters can now require you to be romanced with a character to occur, as was intended

Fixed Kobold Princess' dialogue when traveling through High Forest- should now work with all player origins

When you fall into the void inside dungeons there's a new spot checker to return Ser back to the last known, good position

Ser's icon in sieges no longer has a solid white background

Sort-of kind-of fixed the issue where the party could sometimes end up being set to move off the top left corner of the overmap

At the start of the game Ale Knight and Wine Knight now both have dialogue avatars and dialogue sounds
