It took a lot of weeks and the new dialog system with player interaction was implemented. Multiple story arcs are working. This was a very big step to solve the weakest part of the game. I uploaded unstable builds, which you can find via the discord channel if you want to see them.
What's next?
First is that I will do more polishing. Some of the dialog logic can be smoothed out, some updated to the localization system to deal with the waifu/husbando/horsebando toggles, tooltips, that bad monster design in level 4 and fixing minor bugs.
And second will be the easy overhauls of various game mechanics. Boost, throwing, cats, stamina, healing and so on will get a bunch of smaller updates and improvements to make them more viable.
Both of them together will allow me to make more updates and new builds more regularly. That will be much more pleasant for all involved.
I won't start any big things for the next few weeks until the current state gets smoothed out a bit. When everything feels nice and stable, I will start with the next two major game mechanic changes: Poneh Zen and Crafting overhaul, which I see necessary before going into Steam Early Access.
So yeah - thank you for being here and have a nice weekend.
