Version 0.27! Season's Greetings!
🕑 Added 2023-02-01 06:58:43 +0000 UTCLol, don't mind the thematically late content xD!
BUT HEY, WE GOT A BUILD~!
Get it here! (Windows builds are up. Mac/Android/Linux are being uploaded, so give it a few if you don't see it yet!)
It's a bit lighter of a build than usual. Vixel and I have been working super hard on a bunch of later/larger parts of the game, so we kinda had to cobble this month's build together. But we got a fun lil illustration in and some gossips/content that reveals a new relationship ;)
0.27 changelog:
- New Gossips for Melody!
- New greeting card item and unlockable illustration! One of Melody's gossips explains where to find it.

To jump straight into it, you can chapter select to "After the Photoshoot" and go gossip with Melody!

We've noticed a pretty glaring issue with how we are handling certain content. Specifically, quests/gossips that relocate other critters COOOULD happen at the same time. Which would make some super unreliably shenanigans happen. For now we've tried to bandage those possibilities - but it's opened up a new dialogue for how we're handling some of these quests.
Of course, we can't do TOO much to fix it until the 2.0 build is finished, and that build will have a lot more tools to handle it. But now we'll have to give it some consideration and some study on some other games to figure out a solid way to handle this! We've got a pretty good idea now.
It's funny since, we have a lot of things in order to protect some things from exploding. We have a priority system for the critter's dialogue prioritizing quests. We have specific situations where critters move, and a lot of their options become disabled. But what we haven't quiiiite accounted for, is that some critter's gossips will move OTHER critters. Or start a quest which moves other critters. That ended up creating some unforeseen shenanigans xD!
It's stuff like this that REALLY demands our 2.0 build. Our huge rewrite has been very necessary in order for us to keep making interesting quests and fun lil' things beyond your standard "go here, go there, talk to this person." I mean... it's still kinda that, but we can at least shake it up here and there!
Anyways. Just thought I'd share since that was some fresh shenanigans we ran into xD! GaMeDeV!

Oh sorry didn't see this message. Were you able to get it to work? If not, has any of the past one's worked?
