Kit9 Studio - Progress Report
Voting Results and Our Response
Thanks for all the feedback for the new episode 2 bad endings. While it appears that the yays have it, a lot of fair points were raised by many for and against it.
It was decided these gag ends would fit best as bonus content. This allows them to stay as is, but not be too jarring to the main story experience.
As it turns out, there already are plans for a game feature that provides unlockable bonus content. It's something that will start becoming accessible in the next major release, and these endings will get moved there.
Given how well the thread discussions went, we're likely to create more of these on-platform polls. There are occasionally things we're on the fence about that could benefit from getting some initial impressions.
Branching Unchanged
Worth mentioning.
Additional endings such as these are never intended to replace any existing content. If they went in as is, the other options would still exist, and all story branches would remain unchanged.
Translation Tool
The technical work that is currently in progress is updating the translation tool. It needs to be overhauled so that it can at least provide an easy way to update existing translation files to include newly released content, as well as better handle any new lines that may get added or fixed along the way.
Additionally, some other helpful features will be added to help with troubleshooting, and CSV compatibility problems.
It will release with the new episode, with updated documentation.
