Devlog#17 and alpha Update 0.2.6



Hey everyone! Our programmer has finally recovered and managed to finish everything we planned to include in this update.

Today we're releasing the alpha version of our new update 0.2.5 (Bombarda). This means it will be available for Professor level and above for now.

The current beta version is becoming available for the Student tier.

Here's what's new in this update:

  • Added an error panel - it will appear if something breaks in the game. You can click the "Copy" button and send us the error text so we can quickly fix it.
  • Changed the progression system in Journey - now you will level up and improve your spells yourself.
  • Rebalanced the Journey system - changed spells, enemy strength, and health.
  • Separated the inventory for loot and equipped spells. You no longer have to choose between taking a couple of spells or a valuable item.
  • Changed the combat system - now it is represented not by consumable items, but by a spellbook that you fill before going on a Journey. Also, the player now has mana and mana regeneration.
  • Journey characters received basic animations.
  • Added a new character - Olivia the Portkey Witch.
  • Added a quest to unlock Olivia's Atelier.
  • Added new dialogues with Elizabeth and Louise to better reveal their characters.
  • Added a clothing store where you can see different outfits on our characters. (The first characters who received costumes were chosen by voting). In the future, we plan to make the clothes modular and add animations.
  • Updated the skill tree panel.
  • Updated the Journey preparation panel.
  • Fixed many bugs, including the infamous "Spy - get out" quest bug.

Before this update becomes available to Magisters, we want to release one more small update. In it, we will add:

  • Another magic skill tree.
  • Five new characters - enhanced variations of the previous ones and new Catwoman henchmen.
  • Catwoman boss.
  • Animated cutscene with the boss.
  • Return of the ice world.
  • Dialogues with the boss girls inside Journey.
  • Animations for costumes in Olivia's store.
  • Update the very first scene with Lilian (some scenes were drawn over a year ago and no longer meet our target quality - we will gradually update them).
  • Add a tutorial for the Journey mode.

If everything goes well (and no one else gets sick) it will be available next week.

In the meantime, we welcome your feedback on update 0.2.5 - there's a lot of new stuff and your opinion is important to us.

Thank you all for supporting our small team (there are only two of us!) - you inspire us to keep working.
