🦆Back From My Sleep Depravity🦆
Added 2022-08-21 17:18:48 +0000 UTCJust want to start out with saying a thank you! £100 is waaaay more than I imagined every making from this, and getting any support at all is still mind-blowing to me.
I'm going to be making a slight change to the £2 tier or the lowest tier of support; I'll be adding a two day early access to the public release. It's not a huge change, but I feel a little bad not providing at least something in return for your support in me.
Alpha changes this week:
I don't foresee a whole lot of changes going into the alpha over the next week. I'll be watching carefully for feedback, and I do plan on adding or at least attempting to add some kind of replay gallery before the beta release but there isn't much else to add to the build right now.
It isn't much, but here's a little rundown of what I would say will be changed/added off the top of my head:
- Replay Gallery
- New Endscreen
- Eye Catchers during scene transitions
- New Splashscreen
What will I be doing this week?
Taking the tiniest of breaks. The workload has been pretty heavy over the past few days trying to get the build out as (sorta)promised so I'll take a quick refresher to do something else rather than focus on anything major.
First things first, I'll be cooking up a new feature idea that'll let me expand side character stories in a way that won't eat up development time. I'll do another post on this once I have things a little more set-in-stone but I think it'll really help develop characters who might not get a whole lotta screen time in the main story.
And... the animations. Outside of what's already been discussed in the alpha changes, I'll be spending whatever free time I have to start learning to do animations. This is going to be a slow process, so I wouldn't expect a HUGE amount of info to drop regarding this over the coming months, just know that I'll be working on it when I can.
So, that's about alls I got for you right now. Soon as I have something cooking up for this new feature I'll do another lengthy post just explaining how it'll work, and for the next week I'll be watching closely for feedback from the alpha players while I work on side things.
Thanks again people for your support, it truly means more than you know!
