Mini-news update October 2023

Hey everyone, just giving you an update on how things are going!

In the two and a half weeks since I announced the update hiatus, I've worked purely on 'background' development stuff, that's things like improving the coding and reorganizing the structure of the game in Twine (the game engine).

Other than some UI updates, these changes are things that you the player won't really see or notice, but they're going to make a huge difference to development. It basically makes the game much easier for me to maintain and update.

I've been trying to do these tasks over the last few months while also putting out an update, but it never worked out, so to take these last couple of weeks to finally get them out the way has been amazing. A few of the issues were really stressing me out, so it's such a relief to get them fixed and off my mind. There are a few really minor issues left to do, but I know I can sort those out while putting out updates.

This means I've almost got the game in a state where I can focus entirely on the most important (and fun) parts, which is making the story and gameplay! I'm so excited to make the game the best I can for you all :D

From tomorrow, I'm moving back onto making updates again. I'm going to try and rework that side affair update I was working on last month first. I'll release that, and then move on to the Dr Mifune update. I'm not sure how much work the side affair update will need, but if it's not out in October, expect it in early November. Edit (17th Nov)): New update is coming very soon - it has been by far the most complicated to make update yet so apologies for the wait, will be out next week. Despite how long this update has took, I still believe I'll have two more updates for you between now and the end of the year. :) 

I am going to aim for the Dr Mifune update to be on time (released by the end of November), which should get the schedule back on track.

Thanks for all your support,

Midno
