0.5.6 Devlog - Let the games begin ...

Added 2024-04-06 12:53:29 +0000 UTC

So we're finally at the girl games event! I'm currently working on the Heather version of the timeline, a lot of which was written for version 0.4, although it needs some tweaks and rewrites here and there, plus a whole new set of logic for handling the various checks, etc, behind the scenes.

I honestly can't wait to get this update done and dusted. As I've no doubt said a number of times, I'm kinda seeing this as a finish line of sorts. Don't get me wrong, there's still a ton of work to do - not only fleshing out the rest of the game world, but also going back and balancing things a little better, and of course reworking the player data structure, but I needed to hit this point to be able to see what's working and what isn't. Apologies if this is kinda vague, but yeah. I guess I just mean that some of the systems I set up at the start of this cycle (0.5) are working great, while others need a total revamp. But that's only really becoming apparent now that I'm six updates deep!

I've got a fresh Jira board up and running and I'm determined to get 0.5.6 out ASAP. No matter what, I'll be sharing something with you before the month is out, be that a test build or maybe even the whole polished thing.

As always, apologies if I've not been posting a ton of updates on here but I'm continuing work on the game as much as I can outside of my boring real-world job commitments, and I'm itching to get this update out into the world!
