Dev Log - 10/4/23


Hey everyone, It's been a while since the last dev log, but I wanted to give you guys another update on the progress for the next patch. I had hoped to have the update out already, but a combination of IRL work and more coding than I expected on the patch has caused a bit of a delay. I hope to have the update ready by the end of this month, but I can't promise anything with how my day job is going. That's not to say there hasn't been good progress though! I've attached a video to this post showing off the new inn management system that I've been talking about basically since the beginning of the game. This system will really bring the management aspect to a game about...managing an inn. Some features will include:

-Interactable, randomly generated guests

-Furniture sets and bonuses

-Decorations that increase the gold you make from guests

-Level up your inn to increase building options and income

-Special rooms that give global buffs to your inn

This will also integrate with the VN portion as the game. As you explore the town in the VN, you'll find places to buy and get new pieces of furniture and decorations. Also, increasing your relationship with the girls in the game will unlock new rare pieces of furniture, or even the plans for special rooms, which you'll be able to build in your inn. On the other hand, building special rooms in the inn will give you the opportunity to unlock new scenes with girls whose relationship you've increased. Keep an eye out for girls stopping by for a visit if you're close enough.

So, with all that said, I want to thank everyone for their patience waiting for the next patch, and I hope it will be worth the wait. Patreon subscribers will have new artwork in the coming weeks to look forward to, and I'll be sure to keep everyone in the loop on progress for the patch.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me on discord, or here in the comments.

holy hell plans for new update looks amazingly awesome (is this even a word)*two thumbs up*

also a silly question: so in new update we will be able to build our own inn ?

(+3)

That’s the plan! The better you make your inn, the more money you’ll get, and the more different monster girls you’ll have coming to your inn

Looking forward to the next update.

We all know how it goes, take care of yourself and keep on keeping on.

Would just recommend having a bit more regular “pulse check” sort of devlog schedule? Even if you feel you haven’t achieved much, it’s always reassuring, as a player, to just know the project is still going, regardless of pace. Both as someone who’s already following and, perhaps, especially as someone who is checking things out, I always find myself having a quick check: “Is this done? No, looks like it’s in progress. Okay, when’s the last version from? And the last post? Is this abandonware?”

Personally while I don’t mind playing things as they’re being built, I’m less keen on checking out something I know for a fact it’s not being worked on any more and was never finished

<3 (Not talking for Dagotto here)
But for a bunch of Specific reasons, we've been trying to get as much done as we could before releasing official content previews, (The amount of Background work to get to this point was Insane for Dagotto o-o) 

However we have been talking alot and keeping everyone much more up to date over on our Discord server ^.^ 

Would Highly recommend joining if you haven't already <3
(We Should have Much more Frequent Updates from now on Itch aswell)

Already have WAY too many Discord servers that I barely even lurk in and have perma-muted. It’s really not a good form for this sort of thing, though for people closer I bet it IS quite fun to be inserted in the “day to day” banter.

I didn’t really think the project was dead myself, just when I looked at it jumped out at me, that comms have been a bit silent for a while, so I thought I’d suggest at least dropping a heart beat or something with more frequency. To me it always feels very reassuring on the “passive following” end even when there’s not a lot of content

Yea, I definitely think I waited too long on this one. The issue was this feature really didn’t look like much…until it did haha. Almost all the placeholder assets I used were just things like cubes or square sprites. 

That being said, this should probably be the last time (in the foreseeable future at least) that I make such a complicated feature from scratch, so I’ll have a lot more to show, more frequently, moving forward.

But, either way, I’ll make sure that everyone knows the game is being worked on moving forward  ^^

Hehe, it’s all good. Just sharing the impression from the other end. As mentioned before, I didn’t fear for this project, but there ARE some others I’ve followed that I’m getting more and more convinced have been silently abandoned, so this sort of semi-regular reassuring is always nice
