Monday Update #64 | The next Arc
Added 2021-09-06 13:37:13 +0000 UTCMIST 0.7.2 finally released. There were quite a few bugs caused by the early game rework and the Ren'Py version change, but most of it is fixable and as the current version is 0.7.2b I already got rid of a few. Next is update 0.8 that will finally start us off into the next arc of the game. That means new content.
Before that though, I warmly welcome all new Patrons. thanks for coming on board and supporting me in the development of Mist. The same obviously goes to all existing Patrons.
Everything new:
- I started writing the dialogue and quests for the new update.
- I animated and rendered the first scene.
- I changed the fishing spot in the forest to now have a little fishing minigame that is based on some timed inputs. It is simple enough to be done with one hand, but is just a bit nicer than what it was before.
- I started fixing bugs.
- And I started adjusting some old lines of Lily's dialogue. I am gonna do that to a few lines of her, to change her background a little bit to make more sense in the game, but it is not nearly as big as the changes were for Robin. I am not trying to end up in a loop of constant reworks, I am just gonna adjust her backstory now and be done with it.
So I am finally back to developing new content. I am kinda excited about it tbh. Refining and tweaking can be fun, but it quickly gets a bit boring. New animations, scenes, dialogue is just more engaging.
I am obviously gonna have to do a bunch of bugfixes though as 0.7.2 came with a lot of problems. Which I expected, but it is still annoying. Sorry for any inconviences or lost saves it caused you. I hope you can still keep playing by starting anew or with the saves I've provided. Messing with the version compatibility always sucks, but I saw no other choice this time. The early game is now a lot better in my opinion and I had to do the switch from Ren'Py 7.3.5 to 7.4.5 sooner or later.
That said, I am off developing and I wish all of you a good time. You'll hear from me again. Until then, stay safe!
Comments
I have said it before the Little changes you've made to Robin have for me drastically changed the feel of her character. It feels like you've equalised her traits in the earlier part with her current traits in the later part that for me almost neutralises most of her characters development through all her experiences. I most likely am over thinking it but that's just a thought. I've just got back from being captured in the city and so far there is no argument on the necessity of the update to relay the story that you want to tell. But seeing as there maybe future tweaking of the beginning I'll stop here and wait for the update rather than replying another game. Great work so far.
