Short Review On 0.6.0.6 And Plans For June
Good afternoon,
It is Friday again and it's the last report for this month before my coming vacation.
So before I'm now taking a break for 2 weeks, a few mor words on the last update and my plans for the 2 weeks after the vacation is over.
Let's start with the past week. As announced, I was under a lot of pressure, because I wanted to make sure the update reached a somewhat completed state with also at least some story progression aside from the animations I worked on. Early on in the week I decided that the animation I had worked on for Verena should be included at the very least, after all it was almost finished so I made the last missing background renders and implemented it. This is only a little compared to what I had originally planned, but it is better than nothing for her. I also added another sprite scene for her when she is watching Arianna with the MC.
But the main focus this week was on the story. Last week I started working again on the minigame for the ruins but it didn't work out the way I wanted it to. The goal was to have 2 slightly different versions: one where you clear exisiting blocks and one where you build from the bottom but have limited time because the screen fills up. In the end this somewhat worked out, but I noticed problems with how lines are deleted and that is definitly something I want to look into again next month. Since I know that minigames like this one aren't for everyone, I've now also added an option to skip it, which will however result in less progress in one attempt if you choose that option.
There have been a few other problems along the way but in the end I got a good chunk of the story in and the rest will then follow in 0.6.1.0 in July.
But now again time to talk about June. As said before, all active subscriptions will be paused on the 1st of june for one month. during that time you won't be able to subscribe on patreon (Subscribestar will still work, but like with Pateron your subscription will be paused during June). - Info again for those who have missed it the last time.
After the 2 weeks vacation are over I plan to work on a few things that I wanted to add for a while now but just wasn't able to fit in. One of them is about content for Lyvia. A while ago I posted a preview of a future plan for Lyvia's new armor. That is something I want to work on now. I will begin with her wearing the new armor at camp and then maybe if time allows it go further with it. Maybe that alone will fill 2 weeks of worktime, but we will see. I will most likely have time for some other smaller and bigger changes on existing events.
Then in July I will continue with the final parts of 0.6.1.0 those will mostly be about finishing the rebuilding of Darkholt and content for Verena and Elisabeth.
That is all for now, I thank you all for staying here with me during this coming month.
I might post another report in June to inform you on progress I make there.
And as always, I wish you all a nice weekend!
