Yea', only got good news today!

I managed to get the main cutscene and the subsequent one done this week.
There is still movement mapping, emoticon layout and a few minor details to add, but the dialogues and cutscenes as a whole are complete and will be included in the next beta!

And that one will be released this weekend with those few storymode inclusions, along with several fixes, improvements and nerfed waiting period for expeditions, three more photoshoot characters, a statistics menu when interracting with characters, Stella added to Strippin' o' Die and finally Laquadia's International Edition version for it as well.

That'll be it for now, so I'll see you again next Tuesday!

Halloween is getting closer, ya'll!

I'm afraid there is barely anything to report, which is usually the case when I'm on story duty.
Still working on that audience cutscene and it's coming along pretty smoothly, even though I had to change some things along the way like Celestia's personality ending up being quite different from what I originally had in mind.

Still unsure if it'll make the next beta since the audience need a shorter follow-up cutscene as well before I can let it be properly experienced, but hopefully I'll know more next week along with a narrower window for when the beta is getting released!

So with that short update, we're in for another week before next Tuesday!

Don't forget to insert weekly comment here. Seriously, don't forget.

The statistics menu is done and a new cutscene progressing the story has been added.
The next one will probably take some time though, as it'll directly or indirectly shape which direction the rest of the game will take from that point on.
Yes, it is the long awaited audience with Queen Celestia and King Azastral!

I'm also going to drop another beta later this month since I feel it has enough bug fixes and extra content to warrant a release, although it's far too early to tell if the audience will make it in time.

But that has to be it for today, so I'll see you again next week!

Spoopy October has arrived, bowoo~

A few smaller bugs have been squashed this week, but most noticeable is probably the one related to being downed as some people had issues with having the state cured.
While I couldn't see what exactly caused this in the coding, I decided to rewrite the entire script in a different take instead that'll hopefully have the problem solved.

Besides tracking down glitches, I'm still in the process of adding the statistics menu.
I've also added Stella to Strippin' o' Die, along with including Opala, Ra'Tiki and Stella to the photoshoot mechanic and updated the game with some more International Edition illustrations.

That'll be it for today, so head back here next Tuesday for another update!
