Devlog Ver0.09(Part 2 of 2)
TLDR;
- $7 Tier and up will have the update this coming weekend, public version releases the same day but won't have the story of Ver.0.09 but will include it's features(i.e. Saving/Loading, MC name changing.)
- Release date should be this upcoming weekend.
- Whole story rewritten for Part 2.
- New phone features.
-
EDIT - Native Mac support should be available for the next version for Public and Supporters.
This is probably the first and last devlog for this version, I will post more content for the upcoming version but this might be the only post I will make regarding the features and scope of the next update.
First of all I rewrote the whole story for Part 2, I felt like the previous one I wrote was not really good compared to Part 1 and it felt like there's nothing going on on Path B. It took me a while but I feel like I've landed in a good spot, the only problem I have now is that the new story doesn't really use the new features that well(iTweet and Messenger), unless I add more to the story.
I might just reuse the old story for future update and tweak it a little bit.
Short summary of the old story:
Dave finally got a day off after being busy for so long the only problem is Jess has work, Jess can't take off work because she's already in hot water because of what happened previously when she forgot to send the report when Oli got hurt. Dave and Oli finally got their own time together and had a good time, Jess stayed at home by herself and thought about Oli and how it affected her life, being alone again after Oli arrive gave Jess a new perspective on her life which made her appreciate Oli even more.
That's a brief summary on what should have happened on the next update but I felt like it's more for a sub-progress type of update instead of a main progress. I want to have a level up in Jess and Oli's relationship for every main progress so this story won't cut it that much, it will just iterate a bit on their previous relationship.
Upcoming new features and what's in store for the public version.
Features:
- iTweet - This is going to be a social media platform in which you will see personal updates of other characters, this is not going to be Oli's account but Jess's. This app is more for the player instead of the main character, I will put some indicator on the posts that Oli actually viewed because not all post are viewed by Oli in canon.
- Messenger - Messaging other characters in game.
- MC's name change - There will be an options menu in which you can change the name of the MC anytime.
Public Version.
Should be out the same day as $7 tier and up but won't contain the latest story update, it will only contain the new game features besides Diary, Future Diary and Day Dream. Also since the public version doesn't have the latest story update it the new apps even though are working will be pretty useless since the content on them are not present.
Release Date.
I will be pretty busy after this upcoming weekend so I will finish the update this week, $7 tier and up will get the new update this weekend and 5 days after for the others.
Thank you guys for the support, I hope I can do this as long as possible.
Bone.
