April Touchbase and Game Guide

When Stars Fall
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Hey all, 

It's been a while since the last devlog/touchbase. First off, thank you all so much for your continued support of this project and all of the wonderful feedback you've given over the course of it. I just wanted to write this devlog to give you guys an idea of where the game is at and what I've been up to with it. 

TL/DR:


Long version:

So I haven't had a whole lot of time this month to work on this since my IRL job changed my position and I've been working on getting into the swing of things with that, but I have managed to get a bit of work done on Day 3 for the different majors. So far Fighter and Mage have a decent chunk of the first half of the day completed. I've still got to finish the second half of the day for those two and write the full day for the other three majors.  I've also been correcting some of the bugs and errors that you guys have been reporting.

In the little bit of spare time I have had I've also made a guide for the first two days all the way up to the current version of the game so people can use that to achieve whatever goals they may have. Since there aren't specifically character routes, I've broken it down by the choices you can make depending on if you tell the truth or not and the various stats, affection, and flags the answers result in. It's more like a mix and match approach instead of a specific "true ending" kind of deal.

Also, I did recently update my Ren'py from version 7.3.5 to the newest 7.4.4, buuuuut it broke a lot of things since some of the changes made changed the way certain things are coded so I've been going through and trying to fix that to the best of my ability. At one point I got an error where the game wouldn't even go to the main menu when starting the game, but I've managed to make a work around until I can finally get an answer on the forums to some of the issues I've been having. Depending on if and what kind of errors I encounter moving forward it may put me behind where I was hoping to be with the update, but we'll see. 

Anyway, that's all for this update. As always I am eternally grateful to all of you for your kind words and support. ❤
