Branded To Fall Update 24/11/25
Added 2025-11-24 20:33:12 +0000 UTCHey hey all!
Slightly delayed update as I was out yesterday! So let's kick stuff off with the big news I'm sure you've been waiting for of when is 0.4 coming out? It will be out this Sunday, 30th for BLT and above, and a month later on the 30th of December for the public!
Next up, I want to discuss the results of the recent poll about the corruption locked decisions. Firstly, thank you to everyone who voted and who left a comment anywhere giving their thoughts and feedback, I super appreciate it all! Tallying up all the results, it was an overwhelming vote for keeping the corruption locks but adding in cheats that people can engage with or ignore as they see fit. I'm glad this one won, as it allows for the greatest player customisation of if they want to use cheats or not while also maintaining the original plans for the games systems. As such, in 0.5 you will see the introduction of new character that will manage the in game cheats, allowing you to modify Corruption stats, mana and money. I'm also planning to add in some fun rewards for people who reach late game or complete a playthrough without using any cheats as a nice little extra in the game. I want to make this more fun then just a book you click on and add corruption. You'll get more news on this after 0.4 drops and I start work on 0.5.
Next up, progress on Branded! Well, we're heavily in the testing phase, meaning lots of grammar and spelling fixes as is usually needed for me and fixing any bugs or odd interactions found along the way too. I'll also be adding in some extra content if I get the time, but that's going to be entirely dependent on how well testing goes.
That's all for the moment, as I'm getting a discord call this moment to continue a playtest with someone. Thank you all for the support, and have an amazing week!

2025-12-05 17:33:25 +0000 UTCI'm very curious as to why you feel this is the most senseless option. To me this allows everyone to play the game how they want. Having to import to a save editor, then figure which value is the one you want to change, then export it and put it back in the game is a lot more work (and not something everyone even knows how to do or that it exists) then a simple in game solution allowing you to handle it in house easily. Its also completely ignorable so if you don't want to use it and don't like you you don't have to. It just gives others the option and ease while not affecting those who don't want to touch it. Its like saying why order for delivery when you could go to mcdonalds in person. Some people can't get to the mcdonalds and this allows them to still get it, and some would prefer to avoid the hassle of going in person. While those who still want to jsut go get it in person can and can just ignore the delivery options. Just makes life easier for people. The main point of this is people who want to be able to access all options can now freely just up their corruption to do so and avoid the corruption locks and get to the content behind them instantly. While those who want to feel a progressive corruption of the characters and enjoy the weight of the slow fall and more options opening up as the character becomes more depraved and corrupt can also do so, so literally everyone wins. Compared to external modifications being the only way or completely removing the progressive corruption aspect in a corruption game, this seems the best to me. But I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on why this is the most senseless as I very much value all opinions and feedback. I've tried to explain my thought process here but if any bits don't make sense or you still disagree with it, I'd also love to know which and why so I can better understand your position as a player. Thanks for sharing your opinion, and I hope this has made the reasoning and usefulness of this addition (at least to some people) a little more clearer.

2025-11-25 13:39:06 +0000 UTCI am against artificial restrictions. As always, the most senseless idea won. Why do need cheats at all if there is saveeditonline?
