0.73 Experimental build release

In Heat
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Hello hello! 
I know its been a long time since we've talked, I hope you all had a great Halloween!

Now onto this update, you might see a lack of new content. The system for controlling the girls was rather broken, leading to play that I didn't particularly like. What we have now is a modular system that we can apply to every other level in the game, which should allow us to make the final two levels rather quickly. 

To go more into it, the previous build of the enemy system was built like a slot machine, where girls would randomly pop into places on the map based on their rolls (like DND kinda). This worked for the base concept of the game, however this game has a lot of fans and definitely needed the additional love put into this system. 

As such all of the girls have their own unique spin being put into the game. For example Nile now becomes more aggressive if you don't look at her on the camera systems. Poppi is about the same when it comes to the minigames. Sammy of course is hungry for you no matter what.


We have disabled (kinda) use of the nightclub so that there is more of a focus on playing the admin room, I will still keep the previous build up for people who really want to play that. It's just that more than likely there are horrible bugs in that area in 0.73. 


WHAT IS NEXT?

I have heard from various fans that they want to talk more about the future of the game, while I usually saved that sort of talk in the developmental logs. What I will be pursuing in the future will be weekly/bi-weekly devlogs that will discuss future content, and give more insight to you guys. If you have any further recommendations please comment them! 
Game wise, I plan to be integrating the tutorial in the next week, which will feature a beloved raccoon girl! I also will be making an attempt to hide more lore throughout the levels in the next updates. Just don't expect a FNAF-like story, I believe the movie "Willies Wonderland" was the best take on a fanfiction FNAF setup. I can not do any better than that wonderful piece of modern entertainment.
But I can do something different. 


Thank you all again, please if you would like to talk just hit that reply in the comments, I do take time to read everything!
Also we do have a discord with a very active community!
