No-longer-NaNo Draft Revision Progress Update
Added 2024-08-05 14:37:35 +0000 UTCI guess it doesn't really count as NaNoWriMo if the month's finished, does it?
Anyway, since the 26th July when I finished the Honor Bound draft, I've been doing some various edits in response to playtester feedback - some expansions and tweaks, and some fixes. I've also pretty much done the cheats and hints, though I'll be checking through them again after beta testing and any other revisions are done in case the achievement guides are out of date.
Here's some of what I did:
added a lot more achievements
fixed various scenes that were cut off on some branches
added more guidance about stats on the stat page
added options to reveal some secret stuff about late-game storylines to various characters
expanded a branch of one of the sex scenes; corrected a couple of branches that cut off if fade-to-black options were picked
expanded some bits related to the Catarina and Simone relationship in the latter part of the game
added some more opportunities to allow a PC to let NPCs make the first move romantically late on
lots of typo fixes and other small corrections
The game is so complicated that I imagine there will still be lots to fix and tweak during playtesting, but every little helps.
I've sent off the current draft so it really is close to the time when the public demo will come down and closed beta testing will begin - I'm a broken record about it, I know, but the anonymous feedback form is still open and I'm keeping an eye on what comes in!
