Dev Diary #62

It hasn't been too many days since we've talked here and for me it's been an eternity.

I don't really have much to explain, I wasn't even going to do a diary until next week but I'm uploading the last part of v0.8.5 so I'm taking the opportunity to write here.

Very intense week but especially since the beginning of the week working against the clock. Today has been especially tedious as I've been with Robin revising the text of the whole intro + first two main quests. It's been about 6-8 hours in total between revision + applying all the corrections and checking other things.

For me now the intro is 99% perfect. I'm happy with the final result in general and above all it looks like I wanted: A fluid and dynamic intro. Obviously, when there has to be a lot of text for necessity (plot) then there is still a lot of text, but as summarised as it is at the moment, it won't be possible to summarise it any more. 

To solve some of these "text walls" I have put menus in which you can decide whether you want to pass or view the text. Example: Do you want to know the laws of Gold Valley? Yes = blablabla; No = pass.

As soon as it's finished uploading on MEGA I'll post it here for the rest of the tiers. I've fixed some stupid bugs (very stupid) and I've finished adding some small details.

For my part, it only remains to make a run from scratch trying to break the game.

The rest, I've used these days to revise all the dialogues in general and so far I've revised all the main quests until just after awakening the lust power. I have also revised the first rank quest. In all this revision my idea has been to try to change some dialogues to make them more understandable, but there is still some time left for Robin to revise it so that everything is correctly written.

This weekend I won't do too much apart from checking bugs and dialogues. I want to disconnect a bit to start preparing myself mentally to work on v0.9.0.

The next version I want to focus on Mona in terms of extra content because there are things to do and redo in her. Remind you that v9.0 is about the complete rework of the hardmode and the addiction of pregnancy as a punishment (optional in normal, default in hard, optional to see/interact in both modes, just like any fetish in LA). I think it's something that could be interesting and fun to do as I have planned the mechanics which is the main reason why there is going to be the pregnancy in LA. 

Those interested in this fetish should know that it will be something basic that we will talk about as I develop it but no one should expect crazy and weird dialogues/events, it will be something basic and there won't be much variety as it is focused on being a punishment for hardmode and as an extra to have some repeatable event.

See you soon!
