Progress Report: The Diary v0.4.0

The Diary
A browser game made in HTML5

Hello everyone ;)

I would like to provide you with an update on the current state of development.
Due to ongoing challenges at work, I have only been able to dedicate time to The Diary on weekends, and even then with some distractions...
As a result, version v0.4.0 is now expected to be released between November and December ;(

Here is an small overview of what you can expect in the upcoming release:

  • The sidebar will be populated with story-relevant statistics (The "Avatar/Paperdoll" will follow in a later version).
  • Minor adjustments will be made to earlier story passages (primarily backend-related due to the new stats).
  • In the HTML version, translations will be extended to all elements except SugarCube’s standard "reset" and "save" dialogs.
  • Several new story passages will be added.

I had planned to surprise you with a special side story for either Halloween or Christmas.
Unfortunately, this will not be possible at the current time and will therefore either be postponed or scrapped entirely.

The new story passages are still in progress, and translation of the new content has not yet begun.

Between November 1st and 2nd, I will launch several project-related polls on Discord.
These will remain open for two weeks, and I would greatly appreciate your participation, as the results will directly influence development.

As always, more detailed info will be included in the changelogs once v0.4.0 is released.

I sincerely hope to soon have more time available to work on the project beyond weekends.

Best regards,

~Schokrii
