Hello, everyone - things are turning pretty sour in real life, but I've managed to work on a lot of stuff. I've decided to drop this update early and start figuring out how to better support myself. For manual installs, please do a fresh install.
While I'm a bit short on the extent of event improvements that I want for the whole month, it's also only the 9th.
Version 0.7.0:
- Characters can now be asked about other characters! See what they think of each other.
- Cleaned up everyone's "ask about" options.
- Did a little cleaning up of some portraits.
- ADDED: Yotsu now has some personal moves.
- ADDED: Yotsu can now train you to use some of her moves.
- ADDED: Akota's Theme.
- ADDED: Ikata's Theme. With these two, the OST is now functionally complete!
- ADDED: New Abilities for Akota, Etzla, Oyati, and Totli.
- Improved nearly all of the hazard events - while some will need bigger overhauls, almost all of them are bigger and better.
- ADDED: About 17 AI CGs for hazards and events.
- Reworked "Cries For Help" into "Cries and Shouts" - for manual installs, please do a fresh install.
- Several Events now inflict Willpower Damage upon some failures.
- ADDED: A few new sounds to the game. They aren't all hooked up, but some are.
- ADDED: A new hazard event to the game! Quakes! The amazons have talked about them, and now they're here! Don't get too settled in this place.
While I'm here - I want to comment on my own use of AI for this project. I use AI CG for characters and scenery, but that's it. I can't draw.
I understand this might be a big turn-off to some people, but the cost of commissioning this artwork is tens of thousands of dollars. I could make an "MSPaint edition", but I'm absolutely sure you wouldn't pay more than a dollar for it. I need a lot more than that to survive, out here.
Be that as it may, I have other projects that don't use AI at all. I doubt I'll want to get them up here on Steam. I don't think they'd even pay for themselves over time. The entire situation makes me want to quit altogether.
I'll be aiming for the end of December, but it's possible I might have to push things back.
I intend on finishing the game and honoring my commitment to my audience and supporters, but this isn't working, I need four jobs.
