Development Update (C) #11

Hello guys! I'm terribly sorry about the delay in posting the next alpha here. 

TLDR version: I'm having lots of unexpected stuff happening that makes it impossible for me to work on the game and the new day structure is 4x bigger than the older one for each character. But it's already fixed and I will make the next update for the alpha in two days. Sorry for the delay. 

A lot of stuff happened this week, my roommate started making furniture and kept me doing stuff to help him, we have an energy shortage and other stuff that made it impossible for me to finish the new Wagner Route.

However, I do believe that tomorrow or after I can bring the next alpha for you guys, so just wait a little longer.

Anyway, writing the new second day for Wagner and Karnal will be extremely difficult. I need to be careful to make the route play exactly the same if you know or not the person already and then add the extra stuff depending if you already know the person or not, and that's kinda difficult.

More than that, before the second day had 24 paths for Wagner, 12 of them were a copy of the previous day with some modifications. Now, the current route has more than 48 alone, since the days will behave only depending on themselves without copying stuff.

So, the way I'll be working for now on is this:

First, I'll create all the day for the character with all the answers and then upload the alpha, but the "normal" day is designed to work if you know or not the character, so even if you met Wagner on the first day, the day will play exactly the same with one small exception, so it may seem like it's bland.

Then, after that I'll start working on the custom routes, the routes you will be able to access if you have X amount of points with the character, so yeah, depending on how well you play the game you will be able to have different outcomes. I'm planning at least three, the normal "B Rank" one that means you may not have enough points so you will have the common stuff, the "S rank" which means you need to make all the correct choices to actually unlock better dialog, and the "A rank", where you don't need to make a perfect run to have some extras, like a better conversation between two people that already know each other, so they have a little more intimacy. 

After S and A ranks are ready, I will also create from time to time, some "X-Character-Rank" route, or something with a weird name like that, that means if you're on the beach with Wagner but the previous day you were on it with Karnal, maybe some characters that exist on the beach WILL talk with you about the day before, creating more elaborate routes, without being a pain to do so. Of course, some people will trigger this, others won't, but that's the fun of the game anyways.

When the S, A, B and X ranks were done (Remember, this X means you have more points with another character than the one you're talking to), I will upload another alpha. 

Finally, when these routes are done, I still need to create the PLOT route, this is the character development route and I won't tell how to unlock it BUT, I can tell it will be a pain to make it too, this is the last part of every day I'll be doing and will come after the S, A, B and X parts are done. 

So the short version:

•     Create the B Rank story, which is the longest. -> Upload a new Alpha with a new number.
•     Create the S, A, and X ranks on the story. -> Upload a new alpha with an additional number after the current one (Alpha x.1). 
•     Create the PLOT rank route, which will take a LOT of time.
•     Restart the cycle.

This can take from one to two weeks each, so for now on, whenever I finish the route, I'll be uploading the new alpha for you guys. So, every month I can ensure this to you guys you will get two alphas, but there's always the chance of Something unexpected to come up, and then it will have some delays on it, again, I'm sorry for it.

So, please wait a little longer so I can finish the B route of Wagner, then I can upload it here for you guys to test!

And please, if you find any weird sentences, send me your corrections via the in-game suggestion of corrections. I tend to make weird sentences with some backward words here and there, and I know it's frustrating, but I'm only writing/speaking English for three years now, it's difficult to keep up without your help.

I'm pretty sure one day I'll be earning enough to pay a good software named Grammarly to help me with the words choice and placement, for now, the only thing I can do is to find any wrong world with it and correct it. 

I already got some useful help from two patrons, thanks for that. The next alpha both patrons name and number of accepted suggestions will be on the credits section of the game.

I hope you guys have a nice weekend, and thanks for the patience.
