Big thank yous and progress to 0.0.5


hi everyone! been a while since the last update!

10k views and 1k downloads already and honestly i'm pretty floored, i was hoping people would find this interesting but it's magical seeing the number just kind of going up even with the more sporadic updates.

real life and Real Job (tm) have been pretty busy and taking time away from dev, but there's still a couple new things in the works at the moment:

  • elves can blink and walk now, but only on sprites (with more on the way)
  • elves are going to be displaying emotions and not only as expressions! the lore for this will probably be covered in a tiny primer at some point
  • pekko (veggie master), vemni (fisher-enby) and vren (general nuisance) join the fray
  • a little journal is in the works to display info about your fellow elfs, which will dynamically update with some information such as how they feel about you or special times the two of you might've had together
  • dialogue history is set up and ready for the update
  • the basics for some of the main game logic are being set up but will probably wait until 0.0.6 or later to actually be usable because there's a lot to do
  • started but not finished: some updates to the character creator including a couple new options (like say, freckles! and expression!)

some of this stuff was originally planned for 0.0.6 and some things originally on the table for 0.0.5 are being pushed back, but overall we're chugging forward! given life things being busy for a bit longer i'd like to aim for late august for the release of 0.0.5, and hopefully have 0.0.6 out after a shorter wait than between 0.0.4 and 0.0.5

Get SYLVAN MEADOWS (demo 0.1)
