Announcement

Hello! I hope all are doing best :). I have 3 things that I want to talk about:

• Project scheduling

I recently reviewed the feedbacks and many opinions, which are good to me, and I came to think that my updates should be more complete and have more contents. I know my work is not "perfect", and as a new developer, I really need more constructive feedbacks.

I am not sure about how other developers do, but I do not have any debugging devices (various OS, .etc) other than my own desktop. I guess this means that I should spend more time debugging on the game. The update duration until now was about 3,4 days. However, I am afraid that I will need more time than that from now on, which is about 2-4 weeks (If vacation and other job thing occurs at the same time, more than 4 weeks). Some people were depressed of the quality of my project, and I try to avoid the problem as much as possible. I know I can't get everyone satisfied, but I want most of you to enjoy the game :).

Having more time between updates means that versioning would be very slow. Each minor version update will now contain more contents (hopefully), and then released after full test plays. Though, I will keep up with the devlog on the patreon page.

• Project direction (planning)

As many of you have noticed, the game is heavily inspired by TWGM. I really enjoyed the game, the theme, and the system of the game. Yet, I do not wish to copy the exact game (now, it feels as if prototype of exact TWGM), and I want to change many other elements of it while keeping the good part of TWGM. For example, I have implemented some features to pay the landlord because it was weird for young girl in a big (or small) city to just live without rents. There will be more different events compared to TWGM (hopefully again).

Few reasons I started to create a game similar to TWGM are that as many of you know, the developer involuntarily halted to develop the game, and I thought TWGM itself had potential to grow more on events and game style. Loving those kinds of game, I wished to create one myself and add events that I like (and many of you like). Also, as a programmer knowing that some of the optimization can be done better in TWGM, I wanted to build from a very bottom.

• Prioritized planned updates:

Finally, I want to talk about some contents update planned above the other contents:

• Text box manipulation

  • Skip dialogue

  • Show / Hide text box

  • Auto dialogue? -> Might not do it.

  • Popup image interaction redone.

  • etc.

• In Game option

  • Windowed mode? (I saw some people are reporting about inconvenient window resolution, which did not occur in my app :(. If any of you have this kind of problem, please tell me asap.)

  • Event dialogue redone. (Some of the review said "bad English." I am thinking that this means the dialogue does not go along with the situation and very 'oil and water' thing.)

  • Sound option. (I know that the game does not have any BGMs nor sound effects. I think I have some kind of sound source but will have to work it out.)

  • Visited Event skip functionality. (Maybe not skipping though, but showing simplified event.)

  • etc.

• Events (Contents that are required to actually enjoy the game?)

  • Working experience redone. (Currently Pub / Café working is hard to start -> high requirements(?), and even if you get to the working part, it is just a simple dialogue -> boring. I will build a minigame that should give more immersive experience. )

  • Extra roaming events (should be at least 5 more. Including non-h events?) -> More reputation / money increment events.

  • H-Events:

    • Hospital: The place will increase the reputation, and possibly money.

    • City special events.

    • Visit events.

    • Follow events.

    • etc.

Last but not least, I really appreciate all of the interest and love you are giving to the project! Making games about what I love is amazing thing to do :). You guys are making it happen! Again, if you have more questions, inquiries, feedback, opinions, etc., please please please PLEASE tell me so I can fix them :). If you do not tell me what's wrong, I cannot fix it... (Even though I still think what to fix 24/7.)

Love, nova31
