Public Devlog - July
Hey there, brothers!
Your Dungeon Master here!
Here’s an update on what I’ve been up to during this first week of July. As a rule, the first week of every month is when I do beta testing for the game I'm about to start updating. This helps me fix minor bugs, polish a few details, or improve things here and there that I notice could use some love, and also helps me remember where I left off.
This week, I beta-tested PDM, just to make sure old saves wouldn’t have any new issues besides the one related to the new dungeon system (which I already fixed in the patch I released recently).
On top of that, I focused on beta testing Dungeon Explorers. Yes, our beloved DUEX, because, as I’ve been saying, Dungeon Explorers is getting close to its Steam release! Yaaay!!
Dungeon Explorers on Steam
If you bought Dungeon Explorers Premium on Itch, don’t worry, you won’t need to buy it again. I’ll update the Steam version there as well.
And if you're part of our Brotherhood here on Patreon, no worries either, I’ll update the links here with the Steam version too.
But I’d be super happy if you could support me on Steam so we can grow together, and I can keep improving more and more.
One thing a lot of people have been asking for, animations in my games, is just one step away from happening. What’s holding me back is that my PC isn’t powerful enough. And since I live in a third-world country where tech is insanely expensive, it might take me some time to upgrade my pc and start working on animations properly.
Besides DUEX beta testing, I also worked on the Steam store page, and on something that cost me a few sleepless nights, but I pulled it off: Achievements!
Yes, I managed to create and integrate Steam Achievements into the game. They look really good. Check them out:
Next week, I’m going to start working on the next PDM update. Normally I follow a cycle of two months for Lukestria Family and one month for Prayers of Distorted Minds, but I had some cool ideas for PDM that got me really hyped. So I’ll go ahead and do two updates in a row to get everyone excited!
That also gives me more time to let the idea for how to end Lukestria Family fully mature. The story is getting close to its conclusion, but I’m still not sure whether to go with multiple endings or one true ending. It’s something I need to handle carefully, since the three most important parts of any great story are the beginning, the climax, and the conclusion. If you mess up one of those, it can ruin the whole experience. So I’m taking my time with this final step, no rush.
That’s it for now! Stick with me on this adventure full of danger and delight!
Have a nice day~~
