Quick blog + poll, patch 0.3.14 coming on Sunday

Hey guys,

It's the end of the month again, and we're gearing for the next release! It has been quite a busy time for us, so we're just taking an extra weekend to finish everything that we've started and make sure that the content is ready and polished for your enjoyment.

What can you expect this patch?

One of the main focus this month has been expanding the storyline with the old witch at the inn by allowing Alex to return to her hut - and get entangled in more interesting situations ;)

We're also continuing the focus on transformation art and upgrades for Chapter 2, with brand new avatars and upgrades to the "Body" view. The Journal/Relationship system is also getting some work as we want to make it easier to keep track of everything that you've done.

Poll

During work on the old witch, we had some interesting choices to make in terms of story direction and the impact in the long run. One of the hallmarks of Transylvania is being able to make bad decisions and reach bad ends, while still carrying on with the main story. However, we feel that there is also a place in the game for a few "special", true bad ends, like the Elise Epilogue that can be experienced at the end of Chapter 2 under specific circumstances.

In that context, we are considering adding more of these "special" bad ends, likely tied to the relationship system as well. They will be tied to a specific character and relatively difficult to obtain, but will give Alex's story a unique conclusion. The flip side is that being "true" ends you are not able to just continue as usual - you will need to load a save or start a new run.

So, what do you think? Is this something that you'd like to see more of, sprinkled cautiously, or not at all? Let us know in the poll below!
