Development Update (O) #2
Added 2019-04-07 03:52:46 +0000 UTCHello guys, I promised that every now and again I would come here to tell anyone who's not a patron but it's actually interested in the project about its current status. So, here I am.
What's the current status of the game?
- I would say, it's only 20% done. And before you ask, I'm creating everything alone now, from the text to the code, and WagnerMutt is the artist behind every single background and character for this project.
What version the closed game is right now?
-The currently closed alpha build is on the 0.9 right now.
What're the current differences between the open Demo and the current Alpha?
The Demo was a port of what I had on the flash developer, a system to create a simple and short visual novel to put on furaffinity. But things have evolved and then I decided to port and create a Patreon Page to create a full visual novel of it. Of course, this VN doesn't have the plot of a long visual novel, but it is 150% bigger than the original concept of it right now.
But that's not what you've asked, the main differences of the Current Alphas and the Current Beta are:
Skip: The current alpha has a Skip button, that lets you skip all the text you've read before. 
Hide: The current alpha does have a "hide" feature, so you can hide everything to check only the background and characters. 
Log: The current alpha has a log feature so you can check the last 15 - 20 dialogs at any time. 
Corrections: The current alpha have an in-game suggest correction feature, it only works for patrons, however. 
Change Log: The current alpha has an in-game log window that lets you know each change per build. 
Credits: The current alpha have a credit in-game built window, so you can check the name of everyone that helped so far, both by being a patron (In order of patronage date) and by helping with corrections (ordered by the number of accepted suggestions). 
Music: The current build does have music in it. It's free-for use music and the credits of those pieces of music are on the game. 
Direct Link: On the title screen of the current alpha you can click on the Patreon link to get here and check for any updates! 
Story: The entire story was changed on alpha 0.7. Now Just Friend will be more complex and interesting. 
High Quality: High Quality art for all characters are inserted on the game since alpha 0.4.
So, yeah. That's it, folks. I hope this little update can make you in peace. I can't work every day on the game for now, but I will continue working on it and I will deliver for everyone a good game. The more help I get, the more I can actually deliver for everyone.
The next Beta is far away from us yet, so everyone who gives 3$, thank you so much for the help. Your name is added permanently on the game, and as soon as I have enough content on the game to put a good beta you guys will be the first ones to get your hands in it. But for now, there's more to work, so much thing to be done. The story, now extremely complex to write, animations that need to be put on the game for the avatars, better music that one day I'm sure I will be able to pay and put on the game, sound effects, etc. I don't know yet when I will put the next demo online, but a post with it for every patron will be done before that, so don't worry!
And for everyone here that's not a patron, thank you for coming and reading. I know some of you want something exciting and big, with lots of content that still needs to be added, and thank for those who are here helping me every month with as much as they can help me, its because of your help that I'm being able to continue with this project.
So, if you want to date WagnerMutt in a visual novel soon, you should think of supporting this project too you know? I'm pretty sure you will not be disappointed. Thank for everyone to come here and in special for all of my current and previous patrons. Every single one of you, I'm here, taking notes of every name, every person, so I can thank you every time I see you guys on the street!
Thank you again for reading this open update post. Please consider being a patron and supporting this project, it will make my day, really.

Yes, the original concept was three days with only two days to actually play since the third would be the final sex-scene day. I extended to seven days (with an eight for the ending), added a system which you can actually have more dialogs depending on your affinity with that character and also a character development so you can know these characters better making the game way more complex to write.

2019-04-07 15:39:30 +0000 UTCAh, so you've extended the story to be longer than the few days it was initially? I was actually wondering what the progress is.
