If only other developers were like you—taking the time to explain everything so clearly, from what they do to how and why they do it. I didn't even ask for an explanation, but you went out of your way to make sure I understood everything. You genuinely addressed every concern and question from members, creating such a positive and collaborative environment here. Wouldn't it be amazing if more devs followed your lead? Sadly, most tend to overlook about 40% of the comments and feedback, missing opportunities to truly engage and improve their vn (But I guess I shouldn't judge them like that, Maybe they don't have time to reply to each an every person questions and doubts)
Btw Good health to you
Sorry for the late reply I was streaming my work on Mushoku Harem for the last 44 hours straight no sleep lol. I am gearing up for the next update on that game. During my sleepless coding spree, I learned how to create, and then created a the gallery for MH which I will be reusing my code for that on Her Fall when I add the gallery on this game.
Since that game has a full rpg battle system,
I added an entire new skill function mechanic for counter attacking, which was not a fun thing since it basically needed me to change how damage formulas work, and all of the monsters ai to take into account if the player is in a "Stance".
I also fixed 30-40 bugs that users pointed out that they found.
I removed the system I had to gaining new skills by leveling up.
I made 110 new skills.
I created screens and labels for the new way to learn skills which is going to be via tutors, and training in specific schools.
I added an entirely new system for combining elements and creating new skills, so players can experiment, and come up with their own personalized unique builds.
I added a new Skill Point system which is used as the currency to combine spells.
Created a max level based on region. So that you can get to know your builds and have time to experiment more.
Because of that I removed the max level of 120 and made it 25 for the starting region, which will be raised to 50 with players get to the second region which the next big update I am working on, which is why I am adding all of these features that will be more useful later.
Since I removed the skills via level up system and lowered the monsters levels in the first area, it essentially made it so, the only reason to level up is to get skill points. So I am tweaking the exp gain rate, trying to find a spot that players think its not too easy to level but not too much of a grind, as an rpg based game it should feel like it has some grind but you want to find the sweet spot you know? So for now I boosted it to 5x as much EXP per level as it was, mainly because there are 130 battles that should be completed in the first area, so I am aiming for an area that when you finish that last battle you should be around level 23-24 as I would think it kind of takes all the fun out it if your always sitting there waiting at max level right?
Generally the rule of thumb I like to follow is as soon as an update finishes, it goes to the 10-20$ patreons for 2 weeks, then to the 5$ tier for 1 week, then the 2$ supporters for 1 week, then to the free members for 2 days. Then I post it on here. Which sucks for me, honestly it sucks for me not because AHH NEED MONEY PAYWALL PAYWALL PAYWALL!! Its because literally my favorite time of an updates life cycle is when it gets posted here, because that is when I get the most amount of feed back and ideas from users, to know what they like, or what they dont like, so I know what I should be leaning more into and what I should be backing away from. Sorry the point of all of that story was the most recent MH update was 2 MONTHS AGO!!! I need my fix bro. I need my feedback fix lol. and to make it worse I was so caught up in making Her Falls most recent update Chapter 10 Part 1 that I completely forgot about lowering the Beta 2 update to the 5$ supporters and it has been 3 weeks now! So I came up with a plan. I am pulling a bunch of overtime trying to get to a good spot where I am happy with the changes that I think players will like it, and instead of making people wait for the next main update v0.4 I am moving away from the Beta and Alpha tags as I feel people were getting confused by what the newest update was... so this update will be the last one with an alpha/beta tag. See my original thought was if an update added more features and not much story progress I called it an Alpha Update, if it was more Story than features, I called it a Beta update. and if the number was a .5 release it was ONLY bugfixes. So since I feel like I failed my patrons by forgetting to lower the tier for them, I told them we are just skipping the Beta 2 release for the 5$ and lower tiers and free members. Instead I am going to finish this update. It will be 5$ and up for 1 week, then 2$ and up for 5 Days, then Free Members only for 2 Days, then It is getting posted here. So essentially I am apologizing with my wallet. Hopefully people wont be too mad about it.
Also sorry for rambling I should have went to sleep a few hours ago but I reached that stage of delirium where my eyes physically hurt but my brain wont stop lol. I just wanted to refresh my tabs to see if there was any messages I missed in my coding haze and saw I missed replying to you which made me feel bad, so I essentially gave you a play by play with what I have been up to since I messaged you last. But yea I am going to lay down now, so if you reply within the next... lets call it 12 hours.. I will not reply for a bit lol. Know that I am not ignoring you but sleeping lol. I make it a point not to ever ignore anyone if I can help it. Just like if you join the discord and start chatting with me I will end up making it my goal to figure out what your kink is during our chats just so that I can make sure I add it to the game for you lol. Thats why some character models in MH changed in this most recent update, why footjobs where added, why semi incest was finally added when I wasnt going to do it at first, why there was a more focus on anal positions. And things like that. When I learn the kinks of one of my players I go out of my way to try to add it for them. Is that TMI? Shit I need to stop rambling... OK Night bro! Hope you have a good nights sleep, and if your not a free member make sure you join for my daily work reports/videos/sneak peeks at upcoming content and all that. And to make sure your able to get the newest updates free before they go live to the public.
