Yesterday, so I took a nap, which honestly turned into an all day sleep a thon. I'm now pretty refreshed, so I'll be working on the game until it's ready to be released! I'll keep you all closely updated.
My 2 months from hell is almost up. After this release I will be able to come at the game a bit more refreshed. I've been thinking about how the game would unfold after the prologue (which could be here sooner than I initially thought) and I wanted to get some opinions.

Diligently! Unfortunately it took a bit longer than I anticipated to handle some matters. Now that I have that sorted, I can finish up the 0.7 release of HPC. Reminder that this a release focused only on content, so it could be considered "light".
So far you can expect:
- Several new items (materials and recipes), as Yenay will teach you recipes as you progress this time a...

I spent the last week sorting out the content I'd like to add to this month's update and yesterday I started working on the project. Starting now and for the rest of the week I will mostly be afk as I work as well. It helps me focus. Here's to *trying* to release on time this month. ;)

This patch fixes a potential error in which certain events could push you backwards into the game, resetting various aspects of gameplay (like meeting Yenay).
You can avoid this naturally as long as you reach your first breakthrough prior to meeting Yenay (as was intended).
This isn't a necessary download unless you have a game that was bugged by the above glitch.
With your support Heavenly Peaks has reached it's first community based milestone.
(And, we've successfully started our own little cult. BWA HA HA. Big Brother Pavillion?)
I just wanted to say thank you for helping to make that a reality. I hope to share some pretty awesome new features in the coming months, and of course more fun for Bai Huan.
This is just a small thank you from myself to you.
As a single person working on a game of this scope it's truly humbling ...

Skills are usable abilities that your character can learn (generally from studying technique scrolls). These can be used in combat (or occasionally out of it), for various effects.
In general, all skills have these attributes:
- Effectiveness - Regardless of whether your skill is a defensive, offensive or restorative technique , this attribute de...

This post is a bit special in the sense that you can request certain items be added to the game (usable or material). (Generally, this will happen as long as it's nothing too OP.) I'm leaving this open to all Patrons for about 1 week , but at the start of next month (10/1) it will be a perk for the top tier supporters only so take advantage of it now if you have a good idea!
You will be credited for your addition in the game (if you wish) as well.
I'll b...

This fixes an issue with the gifting system (gift items had a missing variable that would cause an error when they were used).As far as I know this is one of the only glitches found.
Feel free to message me if that's not the case.

I've finally reached a good stopping point. From here on out, there are just some last minute checks and play through.
There is slightly less story related content than I wanted to include, but that's fine since I can add it to 0.7.
0.6 covers more content focused on Yenay and advances the main story as you assist her with reaching her breakthrough.
There are also a plethora of new random events, story elements and other things in addition to all of the new features. In a...

For those of you wondering, those series of posts are indeed in preparation of 0.6's release.
I wanted to better document the new changes for players old and new. Also, waiting sucks! Even I'm getting impatient with working towards the release. The good thing is, I won't have to do much in the future to add new content to updates as I managed to get almost every feature that I wanted into the game this go round.
While you wait, I also decided to post some fan service. T...

By acquiring materials and recipes you can craft items that will help you as you play. You learn the basics of alchemy from Yenay shortly after you and her are introduced.
To craft, visit the left side of the hut and click on the obsidian pot there. You will then be able to create items based on the recipe you choose as well as the materials you currently have at your disposal.

Body Tempering is the act of infusing converted qi into your muscles, bones and joints. The result is a vastly more powerful body that can block 1/2 of the damage directed your way, as well as boost the damage you deal by 100%.
To temper your body, you need to acquire converted qi first, then undergo body tempering training (unlocked through the course of the story). Doing so will slowly ...

Enlightenment is the ability to understand the deeper meaning of various topics. While this seems vague, acquiring enlightenment mastery on a specific topic will allow you to gain rewards and often times perks that will enhance Bai Huan's life.
For example, by mastering The Art Of War (I) , Bai Huan can then gain the ability to gauge an enemy's health in battle -- along with a stat increase ac...

There are 6 main stats that you utilize to grow your character's strength. Strength, Speed, Agility, Focus , Willpower and Determination.
These stats are responsible for many things. The most important, perhaps, are Bai Huan's maximum Vitality and Qi Energy. By raising Strength, Speed or Agility, Bai Huan's max health will increase.
Conversely, raising Focus, Willpower or Det...

Shortly after arriving on the Immortal Mountain, Mai will begin helping Bai to grow in strength. Cultivation is a pivotal part of progression, but the system is a bit unorthodox compared to other games.

Exploring is one of the main ways to gather materials or grow more powerful in HPC.
When exploring you are making use of the Zone system, which allows you to enhance your character, control the amount and quality of items you receive and more.
In the beginning, each zone starts at level 0. By increasing a zone's level you will obtain better rewards when gathering (such as higher ...

Just wanted to keep you all updated.
I added so many new features to 0.6 because I wanted to try to add almost all of the basic gameplay elements for this update.
I added so much in fact that I underestimated how much time it would take to double check things.
As we speak, I'm doing a final play through and making sure there aren't any unintended bugs or issues moving forward. This means playing from the beginning and noting areas that need to be fixed.
Along the way, ...

My arrow has missed the mark. I intended to be done by Sunday (this afternoon and it's midnight here, nearly).
That's okay though, I'm fine with this as I know 0.6 will be worth the wait. That being said, I'm diligently working to complete the release even as we speak.
Rather than tell you all that I've done, I'd rather point out the remaining things I have left to do. Nearly 10 days ago there were over 50 miscellaneous and major things I needed / wanted to do. Now there are roughly...

I'm back!
Our internet was out until about an hour ago, but the lights came on this morning. We were really lucky this time, as many places still don't have water or electricity. In some places people are still trapped and awaiting rescue.
Regardless , I spent the last couple of hours polishing up a few things and I will release 0.6 as soon as practical.
0.6 has been much larger than I anticipated, but it's coming along well -- all things considered.

Hello.
I just wanted to take a minute to update you all on what's going on. As many of you may know (if you live in the U.S.A.) Hurricane Ida rolled through the south eastern coast of the US. It destroyed a ton of homes, vehicles, trapped many people for weeks without food (projected by clean up crews--and after seeing the photos I believe it), water or power and caused massive flooding.
My family and myself were quite lucky. While we didn't sustain dama...

Ida is projected to be a category 4 at landfall and reach near my area by Monday / Tuesday.
Generally when hurricanes roll through my area, they affect power for a day or two if it's not too severe. Under severe circumstances this could be 4-5 days or more.
Hopefully it won't get to that point and things will get back to normal pretty easily. In the event that I lose power, the latest release may be delayed.
I'll try my best to release prior to the storm landing, but if that...

As of yesterday I started working on more story content, part of which begins to tackle Bai and Mai's attempts to get rid of the creature in the woods. However, this doesn't exactly go to plan. Various things happen, and well ..things get a bit spicy.
Needless to say, a couple of new faces will appear in version 0.6 , neither of which are human!
