With this update, the game will undergo a lot of changes and introduce a lot of new content. Therefore, it will take a little while to get everything ready. There are certain aspects that I do not like and will change, and some events require readjustment.
First of all, since the game has reached a certain point in the story, it is time to polish the side events. I think I once mentioned that managing them ahead of the main story is not always easy. Now, it is much easier as I have a clear picture of how to make them work better. Furthermore, they were previously locked behind a point system. Finally, it is time to get rid of it and implement a so-called phases system. Frankly, I had in mind that the current point system was going to be changed anyway; I never liked how it works. Act 1 requires a rework. The switch between David and Alex is also confusing and locked behind the point system. That is not clear when and how the narrative changes. So with changed Act 1 it is much straight forward, less confusing.
Finally, when the narrative changes to Alex, it is strange to play from David’s perspective alone. So, he is coming back! In a certain way. As it unlocks certain storylines for him and Tanya, for example, including side events. As you recalled when i made the first build, Alex was playable character, but I made in kind of complicated way that would lead to making two different games for both David and Alex. So it wasn't the solution.
Luckily, the way the acts are coded, it is not going to be difficult or time-consuming. Actually, there is not really much coding as the game still progresses through the main events. But if you want to play as Alex the game will give you the opportunity now. If you don't want - fine. It will be up to you. Again more details how it works will come later.
Finally, sometime this month I should have the first build. It requires time to make everything working. Futhermore, I would like to hear your opinion about extra animations. We'll talk about them in a separated post in a few days.
