October Devlog + Chapter Two Delay


Hello! Thank you for over 1.5k plays and 14 mostly 5 star ratings - like what!?!?!? I didn't think I'd get 1? Lmao.

So chapter two didn’t drop when I said it would, lulz. I’ve just been really busy.

Let’s get into it:

Writing:

  • Chapter two sits at 9616 words, putting us at 18,674 total.
  • Writing and editing chapter 3, current word count is 5100 (5k initially planned).
  • Started writing chapter 4, current word count is 3k (8k planned).
  • Writing has taken a lull because of work, but I hallucinate daily about it, so don't worry too much.

Coding:

  • Compendium and term definitions are coded! Working on a glossary so it’s easier for players to see definitions.
  • Added in some images.
  • Save system is fixed. I recommend downloading your save file though.
  • Multipronoun system is coded thanks to mystyriarious!
    • I really wanted a multipronoun option for folks so I had to change up some stuff on the UI to achieve this. I hope character creation isn’t too tedious.
    • Game content actually won’t be affected by this until chapter 3.
  • Music is coded! 
  • All stats have been coded but players will lock in their character’s Mannerisms in a later chapter.
    • You won’t be able to flirt unless you have a certain number of points with the LI.
  • Working on an in-game chat function.
  • Updated game page to enable comments and add credits.

Chapter two just needs to be coded, and that WILL drop by the end of the month (I promise). 

Here's what's waiting for you in chapter two:

  • Meet Xander and Pantella
  • Have lunch with Twyl
  • Choose a prophethood (locked in):
    • The Celestial Dance
    • Nairan Druidism
    • Temporalism
    • Harmonic Joysong
  • Xander's POV

I answer all Asks on my Tumblr, and accept bug/typo reports here.

Be safe, go vote, love you, bye.
