MIST v0.8.2 has released and a new update cycle begins. As usual on the first Monday Update after a release I don't have much to tell you about progress and will instead go into what I've planned for this next version of MIST, 0.9.
But first of all, the usual big thanks to all new and existing patrons. I've been making this game for a while now and have kind of gotten used to the amount of money you are supporting me with every month, but ever so often I think about it again and ithe realization hits me that I'm actually able to do this fulltime and I'm truly grateful for it! But let's get into the important part, what is 0.9 gonna to bring to the table?
Old content revisions:
I didn't want to say this during the launch because I find it a bit distasteful to temper with expectations when a release drops, but I wasn't 100% happy with the last update when it was finished. But after two months of work I simply needed to release it and come back to it later or I'd never have gotten it done. That's why I'm coming back to it now and I'm going to adjust the dialog in in versions 0.8.1 and 0.8.2 to improve the pacing. Nothing too big, just minor tweaks and a few new renders. I actually did this already in the past week, so this section is already done.
Early game adjustments:
I've listened and many people have pointed out how the early game has gotten a lot smoother after the rework, but maybe even a bit too smooth. And I have to say that I agree. Especially Robins character has suffered a bit and part of her personality has been lost. I'm gonna use this update to bring back some of her character to the early game and make some further adjustments. Again nothing huge or story altering, just tweaks to get more of the original Robin back.
New Content:
And of course there is going to be new content. The story is gonna continue from where it left off in 0.8.2 and there are gonna be new scenes. I'm not gonna say much at this point though cause I don't want to spoil too much, but let me say one thing. The gloves are gonna come off soon.
And that is all for this weeks Update. I hope you have a good time, stay safe and healthy everyone. Until next time!
