Dev Update: Damn Conversations!
Patrons only
Mar 10 at 7:47pm
Finally, after several days of headache inducing thoughts and writing, and more writing, and a finger cramp from writing, and... You get the idea. I've finally pieced together and wrote the key conversations that have plagued me with Larina. (Actually just finalized it like 5 minutes ago before this post.)
With these finally out of the way I can piece together all the events properly in the next update, so expect that promised Beta soonish.
It's amazing how one conversion/event could hold up the entire process. To fully understand that you need to know that in my original concept for the story and game, you were never meant to play as Tabitha. In the original concept you would have been Lily in Chapter 1, Eric in Chapter 2, and a then back to Lily in Chapter 3, before switching to Larina in Chapter 4.
Obviously I've changed the storyline a great deal to accommodate the use of Tabitha only, and that's what caused this issue with the lore and story that took me days to think of a way around. As not being able to play Lily and Larina and get their view from your perspective hid a great deal of details and seemingly made things not make sense, like at all.
So now I can piece everything together in the game, I have all other events done, they just need linked together and tested. And of course, I still have to render the final scene for this update, as I changed something when I wrote the above conversations, that completely changed the updates final scene.
So I'm excited now, to finally move the story along, and I'm looking forward to the release.
