Hello there.
Here's another update for the Habit-heads(?) out there. It's a quality-of-life update followed by brief news. First, for the update itself... It makes the game slightly nicer to play. Isn't that fantastic. If you want the details here you go:
QoL Changes:
Mission Intros: Brief mission title on new mission start (for flavor).
Message System: Messages pop up when obtaining items for your inventory. Messages can also pop up for other occurrences (e.g. Brioche merchandise being sent to the cubicle.)
New UI Option: Inventory can now pop up when the mouse is near the bottom of the screen. It similarly hides when the mouse moves away from the bottom of the screen.
UX Improvements: Makes the inventory pop up for less stuff (e.g. when just talking to an NPC).
Settings: Aforementioned UI option gets a setting. Choose whether the inventory can be controlled only on keypress/click, or only with new mouse position option, or if it can be controlled by both. Another new setting for toggling sound when message is shown. Settings menu now has TABS for volume and gameplay (wow)!
Some other minor changes (in preparation for future missions).
Further Development:
Very nice. Very cool. Also, to elaborate slightly on the last point, I do plan on making more missions/stories for "Wimple and Habit". I've had a lot of fun making the game, and I want to continue adding to it. To make my intentions clear, here's what that will look like:
Episodic Missions: Future missions will be episodic. In other words, you should not need to have played any mission for any other mission to make sense. In other other words, they are all self-contained, so no multi-mission stories (unless otherwise notified).
Scope: I am aiming for any future missions to be similar in scope to the base game. Similar length main mission, side-missions, and similar completion time. There will always be variation, but that's my intent.
DLC: Further missions will be paid DLC.
So that's it for this update/news thing. I'm currently working on mission 2 of "Wimple and Habit" as well as another unrelated project.
That's all. Update and news is over now. And thanks again for playing "Wimple and Habit"!
