New Weekly & Alpha v.0.125: The Breakening

Hi everyone, hope you're hanging in there and staying safe.

New to the game or want to access the newest builds? Visit https://www.patreon.com/indoorminotaur to become a patron or download the public build.

I've got a big ol' sloppy patch for you that's going to need a lot of careful testing, so I hope some of y'all will come through for me.

The big project for this week has been preparing for a future html & mobile build, which has entailed a full overhaul for file naming conventions.

Thanks for playing, thanks for your patience, and we'll see you next week!

Version 0.125 - 3-20-2020
Added a new main boss encounter
Added new parameters to all enemy AIs, ensuring they will correctly attack when afflicted with Berserk or Enrage states
Disabled all sex toys in the mystery realm
Aded new cutscenes and story content
Skill cooldowns are now tick-based instead of turn-based (this should help improve enemy AI as well, but it’s still experimental)
Fixed an issue where the Silas & Agatha scene image would not display in certain conditions
Fixed a tile issue in Seth’s realm
Fixed an issue where Tafo’s scene image would not display in certain conditions
Combed through the game and began the process of renaming files for browser/mobile pathing compatibility. Please report any issues this causes!
Fixed an issue where Mercy could descend into the Grey Clarion Grotto while riding Orus
Mercy can now correctly ride Orus at the Fort Wilkes gate
Fixed an issue where loading a game in some interior areas wouldn’t correctly play the region’s BGM or BGS
Fixed a lighting issue when exiting the grotto in Mar’Liore
Fixed the Lion Beetle’s AI
Giantslayer damage ticks now have an animation to make it more obvious
Absolution of the Sea now removes the states it was previously missing
Orus is now 75% resistant to Moon Poison

New Release: The Fixening (v0.126)

Well, I survived the dreaded corona.

Thanks to everyone for the patience and support--I didn't get bad enough to go to the hospital, but I was pretty out of commission for a week and change. Fortunately, I'm feeling better and was able to get some important work done this week, finally wrapping up all the behind-the-scenes math and tallying for the siege outcome.

It was tricky, because the siege is a surprisingly complex system:

First, it tallies up your unit scores, which are decided both by your choices of unit composition, any upgrades they had, and any reinforcements you give them.

Then, it talles up Oldlight's unit scores in opposition to your own. This is decided by all manner of different variables and choices made throughout the game, so it's not just a fixed value.

And lastly, it pits all these opposing values against each other in a fairly sophisticated way, with a lot of different scores spilling over into different categories as reinforcements or gaps in defense, etc.

The final effort has been measuring the degrees of success or failure for these values and determining what that means for the final result: who lives, who dies, whether you win or lose, and how good or bad things turn out for everyone in the end.

I'm doing a ton of work on making it feel dynamic, because it's the culmination of years of planning and preparation not just from me, but also for anyone following along with the story expecting some sort of payout for their choices.

Anyway, one week at a time! Thanks again, and see you next week!

Version 0.126 - 4-3-2020
Finished tallying Oldlight’s total force strength based on choices made up til now
Pitted yours and Oldlight’s scores together for the final battle results (WIP)
Added the post-siege battlefield maps (WIP)
Slightly tweaked some cove residents’ stats for better aptitude for at least one task
Fixed a file reference issue in the Carvannah Aqueducts
Implemented a new system to track which residents of the cove fall during the siege based on their resilience and the final tallies of the unit to which they were assigned.
Made a change to the extra reinforcements to the main force so that they are correctly tracked in the battle’s aftermath (this change won’t take effect for saves past the unit selection portion, meaning some residents could inadvertently dodge death).

Still Clinging to Life (New Release! v0.127)

Hi everyone, apologies for updates being a little spotty of late. I've been up and down with what the doctors assume is a bad case of Coronavirus, though they aren't testing people my age.

But when I'm up, I can usually squeeze in a little time to get some work done. As luck would have it, I've been up for the past couple of days and able to make some more progress.

Hopefully things stay on the up-and-up, but I've been burned by that hope before so I'm taking things one day at a time. Hope you like the new build, and I hope to see you soon!

New Weekly Build: v0.128!


Hi folks, I wanted to get this weekly build out even though it's not gigantic, primarily because it fixes some pretty tricky issues. It's uploading now!

An update health-wise, I'm still under the weather but I still have good days and bad days. I've finally been tested for COVID after 5 weeks of complaining and the tests came back negative, which is partly good and partly nerve-wracking, because now I have to twiddle my thumbs and wait for all the other non-coronavirus blood tests to come in to see if it's something else more serious.

Fingers crossed it's just a weird one-off infection, and my "good days" become more and more normal and the bad days less frequent.

We're going to get over this finish line, though, even if I have to crawl over it. Thanks for taking this journey with me while the world crumbles around us.

New Weekly & Alpha Build: v0.129!


Hi everyone, I am pleased to report some improvement in my condition this week, accompanied by some blessed progress on the various branching paths that make up the game's "endings."

Presently, there are 7 different major divergences after the siege, most of which lead to an earlier conclusion to the journey than some of the other, more "successful" routes. Within some of these 7 paths is an impossibly large number of more subtle variants based on your choices over the course of the game and your level of preparedness for the battle.

There's a lot of content packed in here, but the caveat to all this exciting news is... most of you will never see 95% of it. After all, you can only experience one single outcome at a time!

Making so many branching outcomes is time-consuming business, and coupled with serious illness, it's been a hell of a month for development.

Remember, you can download the public build of become a patron at: https://www.patreon.com/indoorminotaur

One more thing I will say, for those of you who are starting to worry: the game's not over yet. For the more thorough and better prepared among, there's still a whole chapter awaiting. Now that so many of these loose ends are getting tied up, it's finally about time to get back on track, and I'm looking forward to it.

- Nym

Version 0.129 - 5-1-2020
Added the cove “surrender” outcome results and resulting cutscenes (WIP)

Added new “fully awakened” Mercy sprites
You can now have a conversation about Leite’s milk in Ch. IX if you missed it in Ch. VIII

Fixed an issue where Mercy could board the ship in Mar’Liore while riding Orus
Fixed a handful of screen tint inconsistencies

New Release: v0.130!

Hey everyone!

I'm excited to get this new build out with some big & fancy extensions to some of the possible endings.

I've been working hard to make the less ideal outcomes still feel like genuine, meaningful results, and I'm excited to get back to work on the outcomes that don't yet result in an ending at all!

The more it branches out, the more work I'm creating for myself, but I hope it's all worth it in the end.

Until next time!

New Release: Version 0.132!

Hi everyone, I'm uploading a fun new release this week, featuring the addition of a whole new weapon type: GUNS!
There's an arsenal of new guns scattered around the world, as well as a series of new gun-based skills to be learned from Marlan.
Guns are a unique weapon in that they aren't tied to the attack stat as a source of damage, meaning they can be equipped from the back row without penalty.
Beyond that, there's been a host of other tweaks to combat, bug fixes, and new additions. Try it all out and let us know what you think.

Best,

Nym

The “ATB ready” sound effect was changed

Added missing fish to what Kethra will buy at New Light

Emelia will now send Mercy off with some food and the advice to learn cooking
Fixed some tile continuity issues in Shiveworth

New Weekly & Alpha Release: v0.133!

Hi everyone, hope you're hanging in there and staying healthy and sane.

I've just finished uploading the latest weekly and alpha builds, which finally start to flesh out victory conditions for the latest cove siege, though there's a whole lot more coming (including bonus rewards for exceptional outcomes).

Right now, it's mainly about adding everyone back in and writing out a lot of different conditional lines of dialogue depending on who makes it through unscathed and... who doesn't. I have a feeling I'll be fine-tuning this particular feature for a long time, so I'm just trying to get it all out there and written for now.

Anyway, it's been a busy month, and next week I'm hoping to have a bunch of new audio for the game, including new voice work for Leite, Beatrix and Mercy!

Thanks for the support, and as always, we hope you enjoy.
