Plans for January
Added 2025-01-03 21:33:35 +0000 UTCThis is the last month I will have my Patreon up, there will be no more major game updates, however I still have a few things planned:
Small hotfix to fix some simple issues.
Postmortum: My thoughts on the game as a whole, what went right or wrong.
Wishlist for the next game: features/goals I want for the next project
Proposals for other growth based games along with a poll. It won't be for anything concrete but I want to hear feedback.
And then at the end of the month I will be shutting the Patreon down and going on my hiatus till probably this time next year. Don't worry though all the Patreon content will be available in an archive.
Thanks everyone for all of your support, it was so incredible that I was able to do this.

Thank you so much for doing all this. It was incredible watching this game grow (heh) into something amazing. I hope everything goes well in your future projects!

2025-01-09 22:53:14 +0000 UTCIt never realy occurred to me that you could simply restart GRPG from scratch, but having actualized the game once would really help with setting up a strong foundation. I remember playing B&W2 back around when it came out and i didnt understand shit at the time. The concept of protector type creature/character that grows alongside the strength/size of a settlement actually lends itself really well to growth content, plus the zoomed out veiw would lend nice for the scale of it all. Not a normal type of game for me, but if its done well i think its an idea with some legs. Taur, naga, and any other exotic body plan like that would be awesome, if difficult. Them having a big footprint on the ground would easily make thens look off on uneven ground. Inverse kinematics would probably be a big tool for making it look top notch. Im all for it, hopefully it can come out great. Its great to hear you enjoyed working on the character creater; just what i could see from peoples sugesting things to add it really seems to be a high light in the game. Ive definitely enjoyed toying with it and braking it. If you ever really wanted to you could probably make a stand alone character creater, with some poses and veiw options, just so people could visualize a character in it. It wouldn't be a whole game but I imagine people would eat that up, myself included.

2025-01-09 08:26:20 +0000 UTC1. it will be either or. Im starting from the ground up either way but I can bring a lot of the old GrowthRPG content into a new game. I think based on previous polls it will be a new project. 2. you can still get it from beating the final boss but I doubt the API will work anymore once my patreon page goes down. 3. Right now I think 4x. I haven't played much myself, so it is somewhat of an unfamiliar genre but it seems to lend itself well to growth. Either that or something with a citybuilder like Black and White. 4. The character creator, I hope to expand it a lot more in the next update. Hopefully i can get taur and naga bodies working. 5. Definitely smaller, although I dont think I can do much bigger than an open world RPG if I tried. I will still be busy on my break, I have some personal projects I want to finish up

2025-01-08 15:12:54 +0000 UTC1. At the moment, whats a more interesting prospect, make an entirely new game or expanded on GRPG? 2. Whats going to happen with debug without patreon? Atm its still possible to get stuck and a tool to solve that might still be needed on rare occasions. 3. What genre of game are you interested personally in diving into? 4. What elements of the game where the most fun for you to work on or experiment with? 5. If you do start on a new game, do you think your going to go bigger or smaller in scope? Oh, and personal side from me if you make another RPG'ish game with this games stat spread, might i sugest switching out the size stat for some type of 'willpower' stat that focus on multipliers and gowth potential, and size be derivative of stat total. Im not the most integrated, but ill try to find my way back when you return. Try to stay busy somehow, it wouldn't do anyone any good if you when stur crazy. I personally what to see new things in the future, but i guess ill get to share my 2 cents real soon.

2025-01-05 01:36:09 +0000 UTCyep just have to copy the files in your save game folder to the new version

2025-01-04 14:10:59 +0000 UTCHi! Is there a way to transfer the save file from one version of the game to another? I really suck at this and I don't want to mess up my progress!

2025-01-04 05:11:10 +0000 UTCyes end of the month it will be on Itch.io for free. I don't think I will call it the final version because if people want me to continue working on it when I get back I will. I will just need to rebuild a lot of the systems.
DigitalFurBelow
2025-01-03 23:45:49 +0000 UTCWill the game still be called 0.6.8 or will you change it to final version (remove any confusion). Also, will the final hotfix be available for everyone on itch.io at some point? Also, thank you for this, you fully deserve some rest!

2025-01-03 23:42:49 +0000 UTCIve got other projects that I want to put my time into finishing. Also some time to learn more about unreal.

2025-01-03 23:18:46 +0000 UTCA well deserved rest, what will you do in the meantime?

2025-01-03 23:07:12 +0000 UTCWishlist will essentially be for the bare bones of the game. What systems I plan on including and which ones I want to include but may not be feasable. Much the same it would be for whatever people want to suggest as well. The actual proposals would be for specific games .

2025-01-03 22:21:08 +0000 UTCI must say I am very interested in wishlist, but what kind of game our we talking about? Or is that what's to be talked about?
