1 Month Later, My Pet Bird Alpha 1.8 Update!
Wow, a little over a month later and I already finished with the next Alpha update. Granted I did say the next update would be smaller, but I did do a lot of stuff such as adding new things and a lot of polishing.
So what's new in Alpha 1.8 you ask?
- Well, you can now go to day 3! Whoo!! Meaning new dialogue was added.
- There are now 2 new placeholder endings based on Lawrence's Stats. Giving a total of 5 endings you can achieve while playing! One of the new placeholders ending gives you a small sample of how dark the endings will be in the future.
- Over a year ago, I mention how I was thinking about adding an option that may reduce Lawrence's stats. It has now been added as a random chance.
- There are now 2 options in each category to pick from when filling Lawrence's Stats.
- There are 3 "new" animations for filling Lawrence's Stats that appear when you click the greater option.
- A drawing has been added that will appear under certain circumstances while playing the game.
- A warning now appears before you click on play that warns about "Language and Disturbing Images" (The last part is more for future builds)
- Lawrence's Stats now have a darker version that appears under it when their stats are low.
- Two new sound effects were added. (I had fun adding it)
- A new easter egg was added, can you find it? (I'll give you a hint, it's on day 1)
Things that were fixed/adjusted:
- Fixed the bug that allowed players to double click the fill buttons too fast which would double-fill the Lawrence stat meter.
- Changed the stats maximum of how high it gets.
- Lots and lots of dialogue adjustments in the following areas: the intro, the tutorial, day 1, and day 2.
- The tutorial has been adjusted to have small animation that should help draw the players eyes to where it is signaling.
- The name box was in front of the dialogue box when it was supposed to be in the back, that's fixed now.
- Change up how the cursor in-game functions.
- Change up the location of the Stat icons to be more center.
- I realized the pause menu had its sound effect off, so now it's back on.
- Adjusted Stats on when things active.
Pretty sure I may be missing a few things, but I think a lot of it was writing related. So, what's next? Well, the holidays are coming up which means I won't be able to do as much. Meaning the next update will be next year, but that also means it will be the first Beta! I am so excited for it! I have a lot of writing and drawings to do still plus adding the last 2 functions. It's too early to tell when the first Beta will be out, but you can follow me on twitter, facebook, Instagram and/or tumblr for the latest updates!
So, until next time! Stay connected my digital friends.
