Version 0.08 released! + All new tier allowing access to folder containing all in-game images!
Hello! Finally I present to you version 0.08! Now as I said in previous posts, this update unfortunately doesn't contain nearly as much content as I oringinally wanted due to me going back and forth on how I wanted some of the new scenes and questlines to be. The main thing added is 2 new Misa scenes. When speaking to Misa you will be given a choice to make and each choice will lead to a different scene so be sure to save your game before making this choice if you want to see both scenes. For the other changes made in this update, please refer to the changelog
I spent the past 3 days constantly playtesting the game so i'm hoping i've caught any and all bugs but i'm sure as always that there will be some I have somehow missed so if you encounter any bugs, espcially game-breaking ones, please let me know so I can fix them ASAP.
For the next update I have some changes planned that I want to get your thoughts on so I will make a post in a day or two going over some of them to get your opinions. The biggest changes I think I want to make is completely re-doing some of the quests in the early game. I'll go into more detail in the upcoming post.
In other exciting news, I have introduced a new $5 tier called "Silver Studs". This tier gives the added benefit of granting access to a folder containing all in-game images in their original size/resolution. The images used for the scenes in-game have their size reduced by 33% in order to fit in the game screen so this tier is great for those who want to see them in their original size, want to freely browse through all images, or just want to access them immediately without having to play through the game to unlock them.
Lastly, the plan going forward with major updates to the game is for them to be only accessible to paid members until the next major update is released. Eg. when 0.09 is released, it will be made avaliable only for paid members but 0.08 will then be made free.
Once again i'm sorry I couldn't include a lot of the content I had planned to in this update but it is all still coming, hopefully sooner rather than later.
Thank you all for playing :)
