MIST 0.7.2 finally released. There were quite a few bugs caused by the early game rework and the Ren'Py version change, but most of it is fixable and as the current version is 0.7.2b I already got rid of a few. Next is update 0.8 that will finally start us off into the next arc of the game. That means new content.
Before that though, I warmly welcome all new Patrons. thanks for coming on board and supporting me in the development of Mist. The same obviously goes...

Update 0.7.2 is coming out today, as always, the links follow as soon as all the uploads are done. Now, this update is a bit different. Instead of introducing a bunch of new content, it introduces lot's of changes and reworks and tweaks and fixes. Because of that I will structure the Patchnotes a bit differently than usual.
A new version of Ren'Py:
I switched my Renpy version from 7.3.5 to 7.4.5. This was necessary to keep making Android bui...

I finally made the change from USD to EURO. I already talked about my reasons for this in Monday Update #60, but here is another little overview on the topic.
tl:dr; The conversions fees from Paypal are making me lose money and it's confusing to deal with USD when I live in Europe and the exchange rate is constantly moving up and down.
First of all, this change ONLY affects new Patrons. Nothing changes for already existing ones.
I make this ...

The development of 0.7.2 is coming along nicely and I am already able to see the finish line. Let's talk about what is new in the game, but before that, a small tangent.
I quickly wanted to thank everyone for all the feedback and bug reports and just nice comments I've gotten here, on F95, on Itch.io and on Discord. It's a whole lot and I am really happy about it. I am reading it all, even if I am not responding directly. It's just a lot and especially feedback is somet...

MIST 0.7.1 released and from the new members here on Patreon and the feedback I am gathering I think it is safe to say that the update was quite successful. So let us talk about what is coming next.
Before that though, I warmly welcome all new Patrons. thanks for coming on board and supporting me in the development of Mist. The same obviously goes to all existing Patrons.
There are two important topics I want to talk about. First, for those who ju...

Surprise, surprise. I was a lot quicker than I thought. So I am releasing MIST v0.7.1 one week early! And don't worry, I am not dropping the quality for it. The only problem is that Android is still making troubles. I will go into more detail in a moment though.
New Content:
1. A bunch of new story content. The tunnels will be completed and you will learn a whole lot about the mist.
2. Three new events when spending time with the girls...

- I finished all animations except for two.
- I wrote some new events when spending time and talking with the girls.
- And I animated and rendered the last 3 scenes of the update. That makes 4 in total.

And another Monday Update. The last two weeks were quite uneventful and I made good progress.
Everything new:
- I basically finished writing 95% of the dialogue. It is pretty much done, I am only leaving a small portion for later (I have my reasons^^).
- I made the renders and animations to go with the story. Those are also 95% done.
- I also made and implemented the bathhouse you have already started working on and that will be finished in 0.7.1...

This Devlog is one that I originally didn't want to do, as it doesn't directly involve Mist, but is more offtopic. It is about me learning new skills and trying out new workflows to someday implement into my games. Something I don't always want to show, as it is just work in progress and often never even get's used. But this time it became a little more than just trying out someting new. I want to tell you about how I struggled and failed and ultimately succeeded in learning a new met...

Alright. We are back to the normal Monday Updates. The last two weeks went well and I have a good amount of progress to report.
Everything new:
- I modelled a bunch of new assets. Especially some new and improved vegetation, which you can already get a few glimpses at in the picture above.
- I also used those models to make all of the remaining tiles in the dungeon. I have now modelled everything in there, it is done. (I think I made 11 new tiles for th...

MIST 0.7 finally came out and was a big success. I am glad that you like the new content. Especially because the next Update 0.7.1, will bring even more of it.
But before we get into that I wanted to thank all existing Patrons for their support and welcome all new ones that joined us over the past week. It sounds sappy and you've heard it a million times, but I really appreciate that you like the game enough to financially support me. It allows me to focus all m...

New Content:
1. A lot of new story content and the first half of the newest area.
2. Two new options to spend time in the evening
3. 4 new scenes.

0.7 is almost finished. Only the final polish is missing. The update will be released this week, as soon as I am done.

- I made another set of animations, those are now all done.
- I animated, rendered and edited the last two scenes of 0.7. They are all done now.

I am pretty much done with the development (only one scene is missing). What is left is to fix bugs and get rid of spelling errors and also to better the performance of the game.
I kept experimenting after I wrote the last Dev Log and found a way to increase the performance of a big chunk of the animations by a good amount. I'd roughly estimate that the new method uses about 40% less memory to display the videos. But implementing it takes some time. Just so you know what is ...

Progress is still going great and I am almost done with the story part of 0.7, about 95% I'd say, only the finishing touches are missing. After that comes polish, scenes, testing, all that good stuff. I am still aiming for April with the release, but I am not so sure if I will make it. If not, it will be early May. I don't want to rush anything and judging from the comments I usually get that is probably what everyone wants aswell.

In this Dev Log I want to shed some light on why some of you experience lag when videos play and how I finally got around to integrating the videos in a way that they can't be skipped accidentally, but also allows you to immediately skip anything for those who got to go fast.
The new video integration:
First off all, sparked by a comment on the Discord, I took another look at the way I show videos in the game. In the past there were issues o...

Development is going great and I am making a lot of progress. The list of new things will be very small this time, but I still made a big jump in the past two weeks.
Everything new:
- I kept writing dialogue and coding little bits and pieces and I am about 40-50% done with 0.7's story. Which is a rough estimate and might even be more, as I got most coding done and writing dialogue is always a lot faster.
- I made a whole bunch of new animations of diffe...

Todays Monday Update will be a little bit different. While I can definitely report on some decent progress something happened. Something that kinda sucked. You don't have to worry though, everything is back to normal now, still I want to tell you how my last week went and why I didn't manage to develop as much as I wanted to. To properly tell the story I will give you some background.

The first Monday Update from the development of 0.7. Even though it hasn't been a full two weeks since I started working on it, there is already a bunch of new stuff to share. Although it might not seem like it...
Everything new:

So, 0.6.2 just came out. Which kinda makes the Monday Update obsolete. So I decided to simply write a new Devlog. This time I wanted to detail how I am actually making those 3D models I spend so much time on.
First of all, even though the update was small and there aren't that much new people here. I want to greet everyone that is new. Happy to have you here. As always the same goes for all the existing support aswell.
