Another two month-ish, another release!
Update 6 might be the shortest update so far when it comes to written content, but it is by no means lacking. The story moves forward and I hope people will enjoy seeing that happen. Not only that, though, Update 6's main challenge was finishing the feature I really wanted to deliver ever since I started developing the Memorium as a whole: the sprite viewer!
With this new feature, people can now go deeper into Resnick's memories and review the sprites of everyone he has met (and unlocked the memory of). If Resnick sees people in new ways as in, wearing new things for example (or wearing nothing at all), that also gets unlocked! People will be able to see their favorite people anytime they want in the Memorium and combine any expression with any state of clothing. Implementing all of that was the most technically challenging thing I have implemented so far. It was fun, but took several days of making sure everything is working as it should! Not to mention retroactively adding all the unlocks, etc... But for now, it should keep working for the future!
Small rambling aside, here's what everyone is actually interested in! In Update 6 you will find...
Lots of stuff! Update 7 will continue directly from where Update 6 stops and, while it has no planned major game features, it has a LOT in store when it comes to story and new stuff! It'll be a bunch of work as well, but hopefully it'll be exciting! I'll keep working my dang hardest to keep making Demons Within better and better with each new update!
The release of Update 6 on Patreon, as usual, marks this date. In about 4 weeks from now, Update 6 will be released to the public as well!
For those that support Demons Within's Patreon, the new update is available early by connecting your Itch.io account with Patreon with instructions on Demons Within's special Patreon page!
As always, though, huge thanks to everyone who's played and supported Demons Within and is enjoying it! It means a lot to me and keeps me going!
Thank you!
