This is to remedy a few bugs discovered at the latest Playcrafting Expo Night!

Hi friends!

This week focused on adding a bit of UI functionality to the game. It’s fine for now, but once the minimap is added it’ll be a little cluttered. Still working on a way to display the information in a nice, compact way. Fortunately, today’s UI was built with that in mind, so it’s just a matter of dragging and dropping it when the complete UI is finished.

I talked about the launcher two weeks ago, more progress was made on that this week! Hooray! Next week we’ll be finally ready to get Kickstarter backers who wanted direct download a copy of the alpha.
Small notes for this week, expect that to be the case for the next 3 weeks; once late August hits, however, this thing’ll pick up steam like wild.

Catch you next week!

Hi friends!

This week, after completing a lot of internal testing, we’re turning on a ton of options for the puzzle generator in the alpha build. You’ll also see some further improvements to various quests, specifically in the second half of the game.
Catch you next time!

​Hi friends!

More of the same this week; fixed to crashes took priority, plenty of fixes to quest progression as well. Specifically, “Bury the Hatchet,” “Hair of the Dog,” “Historic Preservation,” “Sketched Out,” and “Words of Wisdom” should all be in a much better place.

Outside of these fixes, progress was made on revamping the library for the first alpha content patch that’ll come once this stuff is all sorted out. I also implemented a launcher and very rough patching system, the first step towards direct download distribution!

Until next time!

​Hi friends!

A lot of work specifically on quest progression this week: performance should be significantly better on “Bring Him Home,” “Dr. Spore,” and “Light in the Dark,” which is good, because they’re all three Dark Cave quests, and without being able to do them, the Dark Cave was feeling a little empty.
