Hello everyone!
It's finally here. It's way too late for a simple "polishing" release. But you know, polishing is one of the top 3 enemy of speed. There are countless things that can be polished. And sometimes it can lead to you having to search for 3 hours why the fuck the font of the game doesn't work anymore and put Times New Roman instead 8DDDDDDD
Anyway, let's put that aside. I'm trying a new type of release naming. The first decimal will change on VERY big updates. And updates that will add stuff on a more "low" level will be the second decimal. And if I update very small things for coding/polishing and stuff, I'll add a letter (like 0.1.1a). Basically here, I'm halfway between 0.1.1 and 0.1.0a, but I decided to make it 0.1.1 purely arbitrarily.
What's inside that update? Well, as I said before, polishing. But there are two kinds of polishing: adding original stuff and adding stuff that was planned anyway (but I didn't have the time to add in the first version.) Let's start by things I added due to feedbacks.
The first quest has been completely changed
It's now much more used-friendly and doesn't require you to run around talking to all the girls (even if all in all it impacts the effect of the rage of Kaya during her evening conversation with her mother.) The new quest is much more straightforward to avoid scaring poor newcommers :x
The Map of the village now features the names of the characters under their faces to know better which house is whose.
There are other things that were changed on the mini-map including the fact that the NPCs are not shown on it anymore.
There's a new category in the menu called "Characters" (non-definitive name)
It's more or less a compendium that stores a bit of lore on each character you'll meet in the game. The Hunter being the kind of game with tons of characters, I've been told it was a good idea to have an option to read a character's past whenever we wanted. So I did it (and it took ages -_-) For now, there's only Ominira characters, but I'll add Ambriosa ones too and maybe other key elements (like important events/items) to help people refreshing their memory.
Now the things that were originally meant to be in the game (just so you know it wasn't me who "forgot" the feature. It was just due to the lack of time :x)
Kaya now gets an item at the end of the intro called the "Speed Shoes".
It's a key item that works exactly like in SoV. You click on them, and if you say "yes", your walking/running speed is doubled. Should make replays much easier (even if I don't plan on making huge-ass map anyway.)
The quest markers have been implemented.
It's still slightly buggy and they need to be polished on other aspects but overall they're here. The map and the game view (which is called the viewport) will display quest markers over the head/items that trigger quests. Depending on your difficulty level more or less is shown (you can check those details in the Changelog.)
There's a cow and a goat in the pen!
VERY IMPORTANT!!! An empty pen looks dull, no?
And on top of that, I corrected bugs (some of them being so big it made me realize how much NO ONE gave me bug feedbacks... Heck the stairs in Giselle's house were blocked and apparently no one cared :x), tweaked things like for instance the "!" over Kaya's head disappear as soon as she interacts with the even (this way it doesn't stay on screen for nothing or during cutscenes.)
And that's all!
What? I forgot something? Aaaaah, you mean the smut? Pfff, can't you appreciate a game for something else? No? Okay...
As I said before I added a whole new scene. It's quite a big one. It contains 18 pics + 3 extra pics I added during the new quest leading to that scene just for you. Raising the total of smut pics to 21 just with that single quest (which is half the H pics of the first update.)
Needless to say I HAD to put a Fanbox-only scene, so I hope you'll enjoy it :p I won't tell you how to trigger that quest since there are literrally TWO (!!) visual feedbacks yelling at you "WE START A QUEST". I'll just say it occurs in Ambriosa.
As always you'll find the links in the corresponding post that is posted together with that one and it'll be for +600 Yens pledgers!
See you all and don't forget to tell me if you find anything buggy in the game. Thanks!
