I am still working on Malena. I wrote two new scenes, and re-worked the way the ending works, hopefully making it slightly more interesting. I believe the writing for the scenes is good enough, so no problems on that front, but I wonder if I should have something more interactive for the mechanics. On one hand, you are supposed to be a slave, so interactivity always seems a bit weird. On the other hand, the game has to be fun to play as well, so there must be some agency for the players to express. We'll see if I can come up with something that satisfies me. I have probably 2-3 more scenes to write, and then I should have covered the entire enslaved ending, so that I can move on to write one final scene if you keep a more "balanced" relationship with Malena. Then I'll toss a coin, and see if I will tackle Jane or Piper next. :P
Anyway, this should be it for this week, again, nothing too exciting, just standard progress made in the name of all things TOTDC. Until next week! ^_^

it's times like these where i wish i could be one of your testers. XD
ReplyDeletethen again, i'm not really super good at finding bugs...
They do get to see the game more often, but it's still not a frequent happening. Uploading every small update would be a pain, so they don't play anything new for quite some time as well, and they get the unpolished/unfinished version too, so it's not exactly the best experience either. :p
DeleteMaybe you could let us play as Malena in the enslaved end, and let us chose what to do with/ to Celeste?
ReplyDeleteThat's definitely a possibility! Maybe play as Malena to give the orders, and as Celeste to carry them out. I might have to change a few things here and there, but it might be interesting enough, we'll see. Thanks for pitching me the idea. ^_^
DeleteYou sir are being discriminatory!
ReplyDeleteThe proper way to address this particular update is:
"vertically challenged"
or even:
"word deficient"
I'd rather...
Delete*puts on sunglasses*
...Keep it short. :p
Sorry, that was bad, even for my standards. XD
Well, that's what I call a low blow; I'd prefer if we kept it on the level, but it seems that would be a tall order.
DeleteWe all eagerly await your next update! Can`t wait for the new content. Cheers for making such a great game.
ReplyDelete:D :D :D
Delete"I'll toss a coin, and see if I will tackle Jane or Piper next."
ReplyDeleteHow many coins do I have to toss for Jane to tackle Piper, or vice versa, instead?
Not too much, if you can settle down for it happening just in one of Celeste's dreams... :)
Deleterawr we want more ^_-
ReplyDeletekeep up the good work looking forward to next release
So this version isn't released yet?
ReplyDeleteNo, by "update" I meant "status update", I guess that was a bit confusing. No date for the release yet, but it's definitely going to take a while, there is a lot of stuff I need to add.
