Hello,
here's a very late "first update of the year".
RPG Maker Festival 2024
Before we dive into the current development, the RPG Maker Festival 2024 has started and we are participating with 'Wait - Extended'. So if you want to check out the game before the big update, you could get it now for a small discount.
We also encourage you to check out the other great games participating in the festval.
Development
As for the development of 'The Patient' and version 2.0, we have finished almost all of the illustrations for the cutscenes and will start voice recording for the protagonist this week. We're very excited to put the visuals and audio together and eventually show you the results.
As part of the update, the artwork from the base game will also be overhauled with the new style, which we will start, after all artwork for 'The Patient' has been created.
On the coding side, we are trying to find a good fix for the infamous F12 key that, per engine default, restarts the game, instead of taking a Steam screenshot. Since this requires making changes to the core system, we're being very cautious with the whole plan. The last thing we want is to break what's already there.
As for the gameplay, sadly the game flow implementation isn't finished yet. The beginning of the year was wild and didn't leave as much time for development, as we had hoped. We are still aiming for our Q1 goal, though.
A final note
Lastly, a little request - we're a very small passion driven team and although passion is an important factor when making games, it doesn't help if no one knows about your game. Marketing a game these days is like chewing on a tough piece of meat, and if you like our game and what we do, we'd like to kindly ask for your assistance in this regard. Share the trailer, our Steam page, our Discord with people you think are into that kind of game. Everything helps us get a little more traction.
Thank you.
