Hi!

As I mentioned some days ago in my last Faro devlog, I've had some university deadlines lately, so I won't be able to release the final Faro update on 4/12. There will be an update on 4/12, but it won't be the final one, as I wanted to add some other new content to the game.

But as the post title says, it's not all about Faro. I want to work on the Dado project, too. The next update will feature a tutorial, new levels, and a mobile port. I'm not sure when it will be ready, but it's something I want to do.

Faro

Faro is the main project I'm working on right now, and since I've already added new content and features, I'll talk mainly about it. So what will the update of the 4/12 contain?

What will surely be in the update

• The gallery - already done.
• Icons - already done.
• One new ending - already done, need some polishing.
• New images - already done, need to place them in the game.
• Highlights - already done, need some polishing.
• GUI update - work in progress.
• Android port. 

What might be in the update

• New ambient music - work in progress.
• New SFXs - work in progress, need a lot of polishing.
• Good android port - GUI needs to be adapted to mobile.

What won't be in the update

• New dialogues - I wrote ~500 more words on the first part of the game (the two dialogues with the Old Man), but I won't add them on the update unless I would expand the other parts, too. I don't want the player to feel that the intro is polished while the rest of the game is not.
• New mechanic - I wanted to add a new mechanic to the game, but it will take some time to do it.
• Achievements - I'm not sure if I will add them even in a final release, but in any case, they won't be in the next one.
• Point and click elements - I'm not sure about this one, too, but it might be cool to let the player examine some places.

What won't be after the update

• Browser version - There are some issues with sounds and images loading, and even if a browser version would make more people play the game, I don't want them to play a worse version of the game that has images and sounds out of synch.

Dado

What will be in the next Dado update

• Tutorial
• Dices that show their hidden faces
• New levels
• New dices
• Select level menu and general menu improvement
• Mobile version
• Browser version

That's all! I hope you're looking forward to trying the updates when they are out!
