Shady Characters

Devblog #5

Hey, Wizards!
Shady Character One here!

I have managed to keep this up longer than I though to be completely honest.
A couple of previous post had this issue where the images did not upload correctly, so if you are reading these and feel like there should be an image, while there is none - it probably is me and not you. So do tell me about it.

Now to the interesting parts.

Hey, Wizards!
Shady Character One here!

It is time for another dev blog entry. There will be no game update this week, because we moved to a bi-weekly update schedule, but I will use this opportunity to tell what you can expect in the update next Monday.

News on the Coding and Writing Side:

I both did and did not conform to the plan I set for myself last week. I did write two events, but both of those were random ones. Though I did also rework one of the...

Hey, Wizards!
Shady Character One here!

News on the Coding and Writing Side:

Lately, I’ve decided to slow down the writing process a bit to allow Shady Two to catch up with the artwork. My new goal is to create one random event and one "girl-event" per week. The "girl-events" will build up to a major update featuring Elizabeth and Ciara, along with a new event for every girl already in the game. This approach may change in the future, but it seems like a good...

Hey, wizards!
Shady Character One here!

News on the coding and writing side:

This week was a bit tough, I got my eyes opened on how may typos there were still in the game, even after several rounds of spell-checking and testing. But thanks to a couple of supportive testers I found a way to run spell-checking on MS Word without being afraid to ruin the code. In retrospect, this was so simple that I feel dumb to not doing it before. Live and learn. Anyway, with several hundreds...

Hey, wizards!
Shady Character One here!
This will hopefully be a weekly update to highlight the things we are currently working on, and the things that you can expect in upcoming updates.

On the coding and writing side:

Most of our attention that isn't spent on planning the game events is currently focused on implementing the shop and part-time job mechanics. These two mechanics will allow you to buy items that will help you train your stats. Later the store will also be o...

First Post!

Hey, wizards! 
This is our first post here on this Patreon, so I think it is a good moment to tell a little bit about us, our game and our plans for it.

First of all, who are we? 

We are Shady Characters One and Two. I'm Shady Character One, and I am the designer and writer of the game. Shady Character Two is the artist. There's only two of us here...
