Version 0.13 Devlog!

Howdy-howdy folks! We're well past due for a development log for this month, and I'm excited to share the work that's been going on in the Haunted Brothel!

Bug fixes:

First of all, I'm really sorry to everyone whose been blocked from progressing through the game due to errors. Thanks to all your help in the comments this month, I was able to track down the source of the pesky "locked on startup" error. The downside is, the cause of this bug was rooted deeply in the game's menu code. The best way to fix this bug in the long-term is to swap the old cruddy menu system out for something that will hold up for the rest of development, which brings us to:

The new menu!

To fix the aforementioned issue, and to give us a more polished menu system going forward, Version 0.13 now has a fully reworked main menu! Featuring sleek new art (if I may say so myself) and the ability to control via mouse! Mouse input won't be available everywhere in version 0.13 but over the course of the next few updates, I'll be phasing out the old menus with the new ones. Not only is this nice to have on desktop, but it's also a slow step toward Android support for the game! Hopefully soon, the entire game will give you an option to play using mobile, or mouse controls!

Content

Work has been busy on fixing the foundation of the Haunted Brothel, so this update will be light on content. I'm hoping it won't be long until I have the chance to give you all a big, juicy content update, but for now I'll do my best to keep you entertained with smaller scenes like this one (teaser included!). I'm really enjoying the painting work on this one, so I hope you'll all enjoy it as well :)

Anyway, that's all from me! I hope you're all doing well this month, and I hope you'll be doing even better for the rest of it! As always, thanks for your support!
