Devlog #31 Alpha Testing and progress updates

Added 2024-05-12 01:39:37 +0000 UTC

(I don't really have any images to share with you guys, because I've been doing nothing but typing for the past two weeks... so I've put up an alpha shot of the Dungeon Tent build requirements... I think the visual will change, but the requirements will stay the same.)

Hi again, I'm here with the bi weekly Patreon update. The alpha of version 0.3.3 is in the hands of testers! This is a very rough version of the game minus most of the visuals, but it helps me find errors and finetune the expanded gameplay, so it's definitely a useful endeavor.

Here's the status on all of the additions planned in this next version:

Event Scheduler: Finished, aside from tweaking based on test reports
Hint Manager: Finished
Dungeon Tent: Coding is ~65% complete. The creation code is finished, the new camping dialogue is done, a lot of the new and alternate scene dialogue is finished, and I'm just about to start on the actual 'in the dungeon' content expansion dialogue. Visuals are planned to begin after all of the scenes are finalized.
Incidental Daily Events: Finished, aside from some tweaking.
Cooking Status Effects: Not yet started (I plan to do this while the Dungeon Tent scenes are rendering).

Right now, I'm still on schedule! The biggest hurdle to maintaining my planned release window is likely going to be the possibility of problems while creating the visuals... every once in a while, scenes just don't go as planned and take considerably longer than they should. I'm hopeful that this fate will not derail my otherwise perfect development sprint.

Cheers!
