Weekly Build 0.10!



Despite the holidays and a cold bad enough to turn my brain inside-out, I've managed to be much more productive than expected!

This week, we bring you version 0.10: THE HALL Edition! It's live now for all our weekly patrons. However, there's good news and bad news.

A new plugin we've implemented for special light and weather effects breaks save files. So, for this build and and perhaps a few more builds up to the next alpha, we're uploading two versions: one that has the special lighting & weather features and one that does not. We're hoping in that time that we can find a workaround to get old save files working with the new stuff.

Eventually, we'll be making the upgrade exclusive, however, because continually uploading multiple versions for multiple tiers is going to get out of hand fast. It's a bummer, but it's sort of the nature of the beast when you're constantly adding new content.

Perhaps before then, we'll implement a feature to start at different chapters in the game. We'll figure it out!

Anyway, that's something for the future. For now, version 0.10a has old save compatibility and 0.10b does not, but has fancy firefly effects.

Choose wisely!

New Release: version 0.165!

Image
Hey folks, sending out a new release to the world, even if it's not a huge one. This week has largely been a flurry of activity, not least of which the Steam Store ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/1517470/Daughter_of_Essence/ ) (now live), the website ( https://indoorminotaur.wixsite.com/home ) (now also live) and the Patreon page (which was locked for having "implied nudity" on public posts but is now restored after a number of edits were made).  I think there are something like 76 attainable members of the cove now (though not all attainable in the same playthrough), which is ludicrous when I think of how much work goes into adding just 1 person to that whole complex operation. The latest member, Tom, is cool, but there's still more I want to write up on this particular character, so expect to see more of him next week. Anyway, did I mention the release date is set?! March 12th. Keep your eye on the prize. Also be sure to add our game to the wishlist on Steam. U
