Here's a new build of the Indoctrination tech demo, including new gameplay systems, settings and a full new quest with a new character and a new (hotter) scene.
I decided to exchange the old stats and "energy" management system to something more straightforward and based on clue collection/use (a system similar to Phoenix Wright / Long Live the Princess). This will make the development a little easier but, unfortunately it also means you can't use the save you have from the prior version, as some important changes were made in the first scene. I also added a new setting screen where you can activate cheat options to puzzles and action sequences if you are not into them.
I'm still labeling this a tech-demo because it still doesn't feel right to say it's an ongoing project. The amount of hours I have to work on these projects were cut in 50 to 75%. So, if I used to take a month to publish a release, now... (do the Math, it's fun!)
Please, post any bugs found here or at the #bug-reports channel.
[WHAT'S NEW] - Added intel management system - Added new environment rooms, and a new quest with new hot scenes - Added settings screen and mini-game cheat options
How are you doing? The time I had to work on games during the last couple of months was extremely reduced, which is exactly what I expected. Still, I managed to scrape a few hours to build a usable tech demo for a game.
THIS IS NOT THE LAUNCH OF A RUNNING PROJECT. It's just a little demo where I bundled the ideas for a possible new game. It's more a gameplay demo, but it already has a first VERY SOFTCORE hot scene. If you played my other games, you know I like the "frog boiling" approach, raising the temperature of the scenes as the game progresses.
The scheduled vacation mode will end at the end of October. But please, until further notice, take this page as nothing but a TIP JAR where any (eventual) release posts will be public.
Please, adjust or pause your pledges based on this premise.
It's been a while, so I think it's time to write down my plans for this page's future and the approach for upcoming projects.
The thing is... I'm trying to control a little of my hyperfocusissue. It helps getting things done, but it also takes a toll on your health as you get older while keeping an average of less than 4 hours of sleep per night.
For some time, this seriously made think about "retiring" after completing LiS. But then, I decided to give the "Harm Reduction" approach a try. So... here's what we'll have:
I won't commit to an expected release frequency. Release cycles can take a month, two or more depending on the level of life demands in the period.
I'll start using the "early access" mode. Release posts will become public after a couple of weeks. This way, you can take breaks on your pledges without losing access to an "official" source to download the game
After the new game reach some fair level of content, I'll publish it on itch.io with keys available for tier 2/3 patrons. This way you'll have instant access to updates even while taking a break on the pledges.
Finally, next project is going to be the "Space Game" parody. Mostly because it won't require lots of work on 3D models from scratch, allowing me to focus on the stuff really I like to mess with (coding and design). You can check on the video bellow a little concept of a combat system I plan to have on it. I'll have more details about it soon.
