Quick Update

Not much to report! Just working on coding the main route. It’s been a month and a half since the demo 2.0 drop, and I have gotten a lot of really great feedback. Worked on chapters 3, 4, and 5, starting on 6 this month. Chapter 7 is looming in the not too far distant future. It’s the length of all the chapters before it combined as it’s the first time the romance routes split off in ten directions. Unfortunately, not much to show, as it’s just code atm.

Enjoy this wip of Cass ...

DEMO 2.0 QUICK UPDATE

Just uploaded a new version of Demo 2.0 with a few small fixes to the Early Access page!

As always, if you find any errors or just want to share feedback, you can message me here, send me a message over discord, or leave feedback on the itch.io page. Thank you!

Gaze

Saw a photo of Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain and it gave me Xander vibes soooo I drew it real quick. This isn’t for anything. Just for fun 😅

DEMO 2.0 IS OUT NOW (for patrons $5 and up)

Decided to drop it here first before sending it out to my Early Access players. I think it makes more sense for Early Access to get the "polished" demo/game earlier than general release, while you lovely people can play the alpha/beta versions (if you so choose).

It's up on the Early Access page. You can find the link here:

Delivery

Kai’s got some takeout. Hope you’re hungry!

I’m still working on fixing up Demo 2.0! Didn’t have as much time this weekend to work on it as I wanted, but it’s coming along.

Currently working on a cork board scene where MC starts a “crazy wall” full of the current suspects and a few clues. I want the board to show each new clue as MC places them up there, so I need like 20 different “frames” to show the progression. Not complicated, just time consuming lol.

Demo 2.0.1

Thank you to all of my alpha testers for your feedback! I’ll be going through the demo this week to make the fixes. Greatly appreciate your help!

In the meantime, I’ve been working on a couple more CGs for the demo so each RO featured gets one in demo 2.0.1.

I’ve read through your posts and emails. A lot of spelling errors and typos 😅 As I was coding, I kept doing little rewrites here and there aaaaand it messed up my carefully proofread script. Of course. Also a few vari...

More Morgans

Had to include a Barbie meme in the new demo 💕

Testing Has Commenced!

Just sent out links via Patreon message to about 10 volunteers for alpha testing! If you're no longer able, no worries!

Let me know if you have any issues :) Also, no rush. I'll keep the Early Access page open for about a week.

Thanks again!

DONE!

Demo 2.0 is done! Just giving it one last playthrough to catch any last bugs I can before I upload it for alpha testing. I did find a double Xander.

If you've volunteered for alpha testing, I'll send you a message via patreon with the link to the early access page to download it in the next day or two. If you're no longer able, no worries! I know I first asked for volunteers a while ago.

If any other long-time patrons are interested--comment below or shoot me a message, and I'll a...

The Morgans

In the previous demo, we only had one default Morgan... but for the updated demo, I wanted at least two. And let me tell you... they did not want to cooperate. I did give layered images one final this-is-the-last-time (for now) go... it should make everything so much easier!!! And yet, no. Still no. So I attempted some condition switches. I spent four days trying to get this goddamn thing to work. I'm honestly not entirely sure how I finally did get it to work. I swear I typed the exact same ...

Smaller Morgan??

While it seems Morgan appearing during close-up convos is the more popular choice, I still agree with the other commenters who say the scene feels crowded during a close-up… but I did want to try making the MC sprite smaller to see if that looks better. So Morgan will always appear, but perhaps a smaller MC will help with feeling less crowded. Thoughts?

Also, the above conundrum is just for close-up convos where the RO sprite is chest up. All scenes with characters that are zoomed out...

Morgan or No Morgan?

How are we feeling about MC showing up in the corner during close-up conversations? I keep going back and forth on it.

*Edit: They do show up during normal convos, but I'm not sure if I like it when the other character is zoomed in.

Image ‘sad’ not found.

hmm… what is worse… no head… or floating head…. 🤔

Happy Valentine’s Day!

It’s also Lir’s birthday! Enjoy a preview of his new CG from the updated demo.

Also, I did figure out the problem with the demo code. Moved over to a fresh project, and the game starts now! So that’s great. Just gotta move more of the old code over and make sure it all runs smoothly.

an exception has occurred

I love coding, I say, as I battle against a million exceptions.

I was working on the coding for the demo, but when I was trying to launch… I kept running into an issue where a bunch of things were apparently duplicated?? They were not. I checked. But I continued to get an error. I went to Reddit for answers. I force recompiled, which did solve that issue (I hope), but then when I clicked “new game” to start a new game and check everything was up and running… nothing happened! I...

Update

Still working on getting the first three chapters ready to go! I was trying to program the character sprites differently than I did on the original demo because it was supposed to make things more streamlined… it did not. At least for me. It’s just been a week of headaches.

I’m just going to go back to the way I programmed them for the old demo lol. I should have it all worked out by next weekend for alpha testing! Fingers crossed. Knock on wood. Etc.

Then I’ll release the...
