June 17 Dev Log - v0.01b Release Date Announcement
Nocturnal Angels v0.01b will be released to the public on July 5th.
- Gold Patrons receive the new update six days before public release, on Sunday, June 29th.
- Silver Patrons receive the new update four days before public release, on July 1st.
- Bronze Patrons receive the new update two days before public release, on July 3rd.
Besides new content, it will include minor improvements based on those who politely offered feedback:
- Option to opt-out of speech bubbles at beginning of the game and see bottom textbox instead
- Load menu is now available at quick menu
- Save menu has more save slots
- Save menu has more slots per page
- UI in-game menu options has bigger text
- Return to main menu available in-game
Playtime:
The amount of playtime added in this update can't be estimated until it's complete. This is because the use of sprites in my game makes "number of new renders" a poor measure of playtime. However, I would guess that playtime of v0.01b would be roughly equivalent to that of v0.01.
Raw Renders For Feedback System:
I've also implemented the reward-incentive system in my Discord for those willing to offer feedback. How it works:
1. Upon joining Discord, you can select button to acquire the Lab Rats role.
2. When Nemesis requests feedback on an aspect of the game, the Lab Rats get pinged.
3. Access is granted to the channel #rat-laboratory where you can reply to Nemesis's question with an honest answer about the game.
4. Answers must be minimum one-sentence. You don't need to lie or kiss ass. Just be honest and think a little.
5. You will receive an automatic response with buttons below it. Press the button for an Uncut Render Pack (Callie Focused, Siobhan Focused, Reagan Focused, etc), and you will be sent to another channel where you can download it.
