Happy Labor Day, everyone!
I hope you all have been enjoying your long weekend (hopefully you have today off). I have been hard at work on the latest update.
While there is no new patch update for you all to download this week, just know that I am working hard to provide a little bit of semi-post-game content (nothing major, pretty short) just for fun. On top of that, I'm trying my hardest to iron out as much of the clunkiness that is hard-wired into the main game mechanics of the lessons/minigames in Dr. Hoot's main castle portion (where a majority of the headaches seem to come from, quite fitting narrative-wise) as I can.
You know, I often look at the refund reasons when I get the chance. I try my hardest to take note of what people don't like about the game, what they have trouble with, and what causes frustration to improve gameplay. It's not fun to see that people refunded your game, and it feels even worse to hear the specific reasons that caused frustration. I want to prevent this as much as humanly possible. It feels weird posting an update with no new patch, but I still want you all to stay up-to-date with what is going on with this game. It's a project that means the world to me, as do all of the people who are willing to give it a chance. To those of you who made it this far, what do you think? I'm curious what the fans of this game would think of the following changes: -Saving after receiving an item. -Saving after a Pop Quiz or Punishment.
-Saving before dying to a Knight. -Stopping the clock during dialogue. More changes of a similar nature. Would these changes reduce the tension of the gameplay and make it too easy or would it provide a more enjoyable gameplay experience? On a final note, I have seen a decent reduction in softlock and glitch frustration, which thrills me. Just know that it also thrills me that people take the time to tell me these things at all if there are, indeed, issues. So to those few reading this, please post any glitches (new or old) if you are still running into them. You can post them here in the comments or the dedicated thread located in Events & Announcements/Discussions titled DR. HOOT BUG MEGATHREAD (+ V1.3.5). It's SUPER important that you do. Thank you! Have a great rest of your long weekend! Until next time,
BitWizard
