Let's talk about Gaston...

Hi friends!

In just the last couple of days, we received two completely opposite comments about 'The Library Story'. First: "Hey, why is your Gaston such a bastard? He is too vile, creepy, and does a lot of nasty things! I want to play for a good Gaston!" 

And the second one: “In the original cartoon, Gaston is a much worse guy than in your game. Why is he so wuss and not capable of decisive actions? The real Gaston would have already shown Belle’s father as a crazy, after which...

IQD aka 'The Goblins’ Curse' FAQ

Q. I can’t see parts of your game graphics! All the dialogue windows are shown on transparent background, so I can’t read a thing! Help!

A. This is the rare bug of the game engine reproducible on some integrated video cards. And it has a solution! Hold Shift key right after game launch, or press Shift + G after the game has started. Then choose another option for rendering (in particular, “Force Software Renderer”). Restart the game and… Voilà!

Brief report about LS

Hello friends!

First of all, thanks to everyone who took part in our poll! As we can see, Betsy is still unchallenged, although the tentacle-tree is very close... with all its tentacles on standby :D It seems that the storyline with Ariel and Belle hasn't been appreciated properly yet, but everything is still starting there! Well, Emma was a bad girl, it's hard to argue with it - no one likes mean blackmailers (although it was a great opportunity for Gaston to feel himself inside someone else'...

Roadmap for 'The Library Story' v.0.94

Hello friends!

As we promised, we publish a roadmap with the main working milestones that we need to complete before the release of LS 0.94. Of course, not all the details are shown in visual form, but a basic idea of the remaining work is quite clear.

We will update the roadmap as the planned tasks are completed. We're going to do this at least once every 2-3 weeks.

But now we, perhaps, will continue to do these tasks :D.

Thanks for your support, guys! Stay tuned for more ne...

'The Library Story' 0.93 public release!

Hello friends!

It's time to release 'The Library Story' public version 0.93! Hooray!

We planned this version as a preliminary basis for the "big" full-of-content version 0.95, which is supposed to develop actively the main storylines. In v.0.93 we were going to introduce a number of new mechanics - a special system of saving between versions, a new interactive mode and to fix most of parameters. Of course, we didn't forget about new stuff - in this version you'll see the continuation and...

About 'The Library Story' v. 0.93

Hello friends!

All new quests and events are compiled (including the largest in the game storyline - on the lake), a decent part of mechanics is updated, some additions were made with an interface. But there were appeared serious difficulties with the mechanics of saves between versions.

We consider it is very important to finish this function, because first of all, we've made an announcement about this new funcion in v.0.93, and secondly, we u...

Artifactology

Hello guys!

Short news from the world of 'The Library Story'! In our game a number of magic artifacts have already appeared. And in the future, there will be even more of them - as known Gaston is a big fan of finding everything that lies bad. And what lies good is as well :D So we decided to give him a separate skill of artifactology.

With its development Gaston will be able to use a large number of magic items, as well as discover new properties of some of them. This skill will be asso...

I apologize for such a long silence. It was a long trip on urgent things. But now I'm back and full of energy. So I won't go into details of the things and issues, it's better to go straight to what you are all interested in: to work on our projects!

Schedule system in Library Story 0.93 - 0.95

Hello friends!

Today we would like to talk a little more about innovation in the upcoming versions of LS - namely, the mechanics of the day schedule for the characters. Earlier the probability of meeting a particular character in certain locations was being calculated right at the moment when Gaston visited that location. For example, there was a certain chance, while visiting Belle's House, that she would be either absent or at home. If the second option appeared, then the following situation...

Exhibitionism in Library Story

Hello guys!

Thanks to all who participated in the last poll. The decision is done - since the LS v.0.95 exhibitionism will be one of the standard parameters that may be increased due to books, various quests and events. We'll rework the part of the game that was already associated with this parameter, and add new stuff.

In addition, many useful thoughts and ideas were voiced in the comments to this poll, so we plan to implement some of them in future versions. In general, it was extremel...

IQ: work plans for remaining spring

Hi friends!

The end of the month is here, so it’s time to announce our work IQ plans for remaining spring. These plans don’t contain anything sensational, they’re simple and work-related. And they’re based on the things we managed to accomplish this March.

So.

1) “Goblins’ Curse” (aka IQ Dungeon) will be completed. One way or another, we’re going to finish this piece of work and release it this spring. No matter what.

2) If we manage to deal with the “Curse...

About IQ

I publish this news with some delay, but it did not become less relevant because of that:

After the release of “Iris Quest” intro, the questions came pouring in: “When will the next part be released?!” These questions are quite reasonable, especially when the patreons are asking them.

But the thing is, we don’t know the release date of the next part ourselves.

We have a lot of things done, but nothing's ready for release yet.

Right now we are working on the final po...
