Mid-Week Update Feb 5, 2020

Hello! Lots to talk about today. I’ve had a few questions about the current build I’ll address below:

1. Does the game just keep looping? Answer: No, not as long as you are progressing. The current build has a set “Game End” when you reach a certain point. It will be very clear.

2. How many Enchantment levels are there? Answer: In v.0.11 there are 9 Enchantment levels you can obtain. In the next release, that will go up to 13.

3. Will you make a walkthrough or add quests/hints in game? Answer: I have no plans to add quests/hints in game at this time as that is a major add-on that must be integrated throughout the game. However, I do plan on releasing a walkthrough with the next release. 

4. Will the game always loop days? Yes, because that is how it is structured, but the goal is to build them out with enough options that each day can be meaningfully different from the previous one. There is plenty of content coming down the line to hopefully keep you from getting bored.

V.0.15 - coming soon!

The next release will be V.0.15 and will bring Stacy up to Enchantment 13. It will contain three new big characters and some fairly big advancements of the storyline. This release also involves rendering all of the previous scenes with Stacy’s new outfit as well as several bug and playability fixes. It should be more difficult to send the game off the rails by picking the wrong choices, though I still don’t guarantee I’ve found everything. I playtest as much as I have time for, but I will never be able find the broken parts like you guys can. 

Future releases

What’s coming down the pipe? Well, the game is only going to get more exciting as Stacy becomes ever more enchanted. For those who have read the book, you know what I mean. Don’t worry, the book doesn’t spoil much. The game is already diverging quite a bit from the written story. By the end, I’m sure they will be completely different. 

I also have plans for improvements to the game itself. I’m working on creating far better maps generated from rendered cg rather than the default RPG Maker MV resources. Some of the smaller maps are easy to do, but I don’t want to do a partial release. Once I can get it all done, maybe I can implement what I think are far more realistic maps.

That’s all for now. Thanks again for all those who have contributed both financially and with your feedback. You all are the motivation to keep on keeping on.
