It's been around a year since version 12 came out, so it's reasonable to wonder what I've been doing all this time. The truth is: not a lot, actually. I've been busy with other obligations, as well as finding the time and motivation to make a game that most likely won't be played by a lot of people. But I still have made some progress:
Before a couple of days ago, I was using the official Twine app to make edits to the story. While the Twine app recently got a major overhaul that overall increased it in quality by around 300%, I just didn't want to use it any more. So, I decompiled error-unknown, and converted it into twee files! This results in a couple changes:
The opening part of the game where you escape the burning Nightingale has been rewritten to be longer and more detailed.
Act 0 was fine to teach the player the basics of the game loop (you know, read, make a choice, read some more), but I felt it had not quite measured up to what it could have been. I've also adopted a new naming scheme for passages. The one you see used to be called "Your Room (?)", but I renamed it to "a0_b1_intro2" (Act 0, Branch 1).
That's it for now. Version 13 coming soon.
Maybe.
