Hi everyone!
Just wanted to pop in and give you an update on our progress and discuss some other things too.
First off, chapter 02 launch went quite well and we haven't had that many bug reports so far. Please let us know if you encounter any issues! The story text hasn't been edited yet, but if you spot any typos or mistakes, you can also report those.
Currently I'm revising the chapter 03 script and creating a to do list for this month. We're changing our work pipeline in an effort to finish this chapter faster than the horribly delayed chapter 02. We'll see how it goes and if you're interested in daily updates, you can always check our twitter.
I'm also trying to figure out which features we'll add in chapter 03. My dream list would be:
- manual save
- full screen mode (remove UI and other screen elements so you can just look at the images)
- conversation history (create a log where you can read your previous discussions)
It remains to be seen if we can actually deliver all of these improvements in this chapter, but at least some of them will be included. Please let me know if you have any feature requests and what you would like to see added next.
Finally I'd like to tell you a little about our Patreon. For those of you who aren't familiar with Patreon it's a website that offers you the chance to become a patron of a project you like - support the project and you get rewards. Our team is small and since Yakuza Kiss is in an early development stage, we have to work on other projects as well to cover our development costs. For that reason Patreon is a great tool for us to speed our development and also to connect with our players. Below is some more information in case you're interested.
