THE INN 0.07.01 (BETA 1) PUBLIC RELEASE!
What's up people?
So, I've been debating for some time now on ways to
increase this project's visibility so more people can get to
play and hopefully
support it (cuz daddy's gotta make a living too, y'know).
One of the
biggest issues with my release plan is that
public releases would only happen when the update is
finished, basically what this means is that most of the time this project would take a
long time to get
public releases (last time it took
over a year).
An entire year without anything released publicly is
no bueno.
This leads to people constantly asking me if I'm
still working on this project (when they don't just flat out
forget about it).
And
public releases are good mainly for one reason:
Visibility.
More
visibility means more people get to
know and play the game and, consequently, will be willing to
support it.
So, what I came up with was a
new release plan.
From now on
INNitiate patrons
and above will have access to new BETAS
3 months before everyone else. For example,
today I'm releasing
BETA 4 for patrons, so
BETA 1 will go public,
next month I'll release
BETA 5, so
BETA 2 will go public, and so on.
Basically what this means is that, from no on, there'll be a
public release every month.
Anyway, enough with the boring justifications and on with the details about this
BETA.
As the result of the
poll made some time ago, update
0.07 will be focused on
Joana.
The
theme for this update, and what I'm aiming for, is
"a day off for a tired housewife". During this update we'll follow
Joana and
Mike on a story of
R&R,
emotional healing and
reconnection with yourself.
This update will have a whole different pacing than
Val's update had. While
Val's was frenetic, action packed and
VERY spicy,
Joana's update will feel more
relaxed,
laid back and, above all,
wholesome.
The first
BETA comes with
2 new, short introductory events that will set up the other parts of the update. I initially planned to have
3 more events in it, but I came across a
game breaking issue during development (related to the removed
online features) and it ended up taking me nearly
2 weeks of development time to fix it.
Anyway, without further ado, here's the download links for this
