New possibilities for the LS and small poll!
Hi guys!
Today I want to show you a blank for... achievements! There will be a quite amount of them in the LS. Moreover they will influent on gameplay. For example, if you get the achievement "bag of the gold" - (for this purpose you'll need to accumulate a certain amount of money), you'll start a new game with bonus of 50 coins! Of course, it's not the most interesting example... haha ;) And yes, it will be possible to take a limited amount of starting bonuses, so... you'll have to choose between, hm... increased Belle's corruption or the same 50 coins ^^.
And yeah... a small poll related with this theme: what achievements would you like to see in our game??
Most of them are ready yet, but it's possible that some of your ideas we'll take for implementation! :)

Same question as DJ Quinn, I can't seem to find the actual game
Yeah, I've answered about this in the previous comment:)
I played a basic demo for this a while ago and I remember liking it, but I have a question. If I want to have access to this game (and whatever alpha's may be released), who should I become a patron to, you or Xaljio or someone else, and what reward level would I need? Is there a development blog or something I could look at? I'm sorry if these questions are annoying, I just couldn't figure out what to do.
In fact, it's very understandable question :) In general, Xaljio is programming code for our game, and I'm painting art for it. For whom should you become a patron to - you should decide yourself ^^` Who knows - maybe if you'll enjoy the game and decide to become patron both of us ... hahah :D Generally the current release will be available to everyone, but for our patrons in the demo-version there will be some pleasant bunuses and surprises :))
Так, пока личка в ауте, хочу поздравить тебя, Latissa, с 8 марта. Продолжай радовать нас своими шикарными артами, ну и, само собой, предстоящей и всеми ожидаемой игрой. Кстати, какие там новости по демке?
О, большое спасибо :-* Постараюсь чем-нибудь м-м... порадовать на страничке в ближайшее (или почти ближайшее) время (так как простудилась, и интенсивность работы пока не самая лучшая) Вкратце по новостям: сейчас соибраем игру (основные модули) - надеюсь, в течение этой недели соберем и можно будет тестировать. Потом уже можно наполнять контентом. Кстати, появилась куча дополнительных мини-ивентов и описаний, которые сейчас в процессе перевода. В общем - работа кипит. PS: кстати, ты можешь свой е-мейл дать для переписки))
Короче, у меня патреон сошел с ума, походу даже плата слетела, завтра буду уточнять.
тебе не дошли сообщения в PM? Вчера вроде все работало... Сегодня правда опять та же история..
Basically: Use achievements to make the player/user aware of little corners of the game or features that is easilly overlooked. For instance the idea about one for hunting each animal could make you aware of an animal that you didn't know of.
for the ingame itself i dont really know what to come up with, but achievement that allow you to take more bonus for a new game could be nice and it might make the player try to get as much achievement each playtrough before starting a new one exemple: unlock 10 achievement - you can start a new game with 1 more bonus unlock 20 achievement - you can start a new game with 1 more bonus etc.. since i dont know how many achievement there is in-game the number can be change base on what you already have for the game.
Oh, unlocked bonuses depending on how many achievements - is great idea ^^` In general we have some thoughts about amount and what kind of bonuses you can take in the game start (will not reveal exactly what it means, 'cause it's a spoiler =))), but the hint is - there are bonuses that are related to Gaston, and there are bonuses that are applied to Belle ...
How about an achievement for each stage of clothing Bella forgos
Interesting idea! But on the other hand - clothes changing - is a reward in itself :)
And from a line in the movie by Gaston about his taste inhousing, something like "Home Decorator" if he kills one of every type of animal in the game"
How about Wilderness Explorer - visiting all the forest/outdoor areas?
Oh, really great idea! ^^ `As about animals too. We'll think about it, and try to implement this either in the demo version, or at least in LS v.1.0
Well you could give a Witch achievement for maxing out Bell's magic stat. Also just why do you want Bell to learn magic? Another achievement could be for making Bell sleep with another women. You could even give a pimp achievement where you get Bell to sleep with someone for money.
Haha, yeah... creative thoughts :D Though it's more likely for version 1.0 of LS! Btw Belle don't learn magic!... (And Gaston too :D) That is, in the v.1.0 are planned Alchemy and Engineering for Gaston, but it is a science!
Rookie Hunter : Clear a certain amount of hunts Seasoned Hunter : Clear all the possible fights Veteran Hunter : Get all the special items (via hunting) Master Hunter : Clear all the "legendary" battles unscathed. Bullseye : Kill an enemy in a single blow Nature Lover : Harvest every possible plant in the game I'll be thinking of more :D
Oh, thank you for such creative ideas ^^ `By the way -" Veteran Hunter: Get all the special items "- already exists! Though it's necessary to collect a certain kind of special items (small hint =)) And yea, waiting for more ideas, and not only in the field of hunting!;)
Achievements are just boundaries for gameplay, so just make sure to make one for every secret in the game and for missable content. It would be hard to recommend a chievo without paying the whole game first. Maybe make a "premature" one for quitting the game within 5 minutes?
Achievement suggestions? I guess I could list a few... Thief - Steal something from Belle while she is asleep. But Where Are The Pictures? - Read a book. Just As Planned - Got Belle to read a book she didn’t ask for. Did You Do Something With Your Hair? - Got Belle to alter her attire. Ooo, Shiny! - Found a secret. Smile You Son Of A… - Killed the great white bear. Green Thumb - Planted a tentacle sprout. I See London, I See France… - Peek up Belle skirt. Sleeping Beauty - Do everything you can with Belle in one night without waking her.
Everything he/she (sorry don't know which one) says.
One for Bell hating you? If you fall so low in her esteem, it'll pop up with a game over? Just thinking.
In general, this possibility already exists in the game - when Belle hates Gaston and you can't make any actions more in the game. Though it's not the form of achivement, but simply game over...
