Chapter Ten (0.10.0) Update #1
Here we go! Work on Chapter Ten has started. Or, rather, it started a couple days ago and we're now formally announcing it.
While Chapter Ten is a bit of a "take a well-deserved breath of fresh air" kind of episode, there are some threads being woven into it for the events that play out in Chapter Eleven. So, expect that there'll be a big choice here, with a large personal moment, but for the most part, this chapter is about a little downtime and setting the stage for the future.
From a more technical standpoint, we are adding a Stats screen to the game, available from the in-game menu at the bottom of the screen. This'll let you know where you stand with the other characters in the game.
Thanks for your support.

Those are some very even lines.
When I play RPGs I like to fill all the gauges evenly. :)
Awesome update, glad you'll have a stat tracker in there now. I was having a hard time trying to figure out how to do that, especially now that we might have to try to juggle/balance stats with Naomi and Carol (and any other mystery characters who might take up residence with the clan.) In fact, I thought I saw that tracker in another image you posted somewhere but couldn't figure out how to access it before.
Oh, you probably saw the "testing" screen with a bunch of stuff on there (like the number of times you hit the infected at the end of CH8) that I use to check variables during a build. Really ugly looking. This is just a more polished version that's viewable from any screen in the game.
Nice. Curious what the “nerve” stat is for?
Its a measure of their nervousness about the world around them. Depending on how high it is, they might react badly to a situation. For example, in Chapter 8, if Naomi's nerve stat was high, she would freak out at the news of infected outside the apartment. I use Nerve and Trust as a way to give the girls weighted reactions to certain events.
