Greetings thanks for asking, theres a lot to say and Id like to do another log for it though gonna try to share something about the game!

So currently a lot of redesign went into some of the flow of the game from the starting area to the way you interact throughout the asylum. I made an entirely new starting zone for the actual intro and sets the tone as to the game. From there the layout got a little restructured to what areas you go to and why, seemed like giving an entirely free for all run through didnt really make it fun as to why you were running around. Added some more art to make the areas fun to actually explore though that expense really added up, the artists do great work and really want to make sure that whoever plays the game knows that real artists did that and were also compensated for that effort of art.

I actually got some good testing done with a different game that showed me that the way I was doing the quests in this game werent great, a good showing of that is trying to get characters to go from one area to another after you talk to them, and the way that the game had that done wasnt always working the way that Id try to get it to. So that experience is really assisting in fixing some of those coded lines.

Another issue was trying to get others involved to assist with some of that, an expensive thing to do and since this is a free game, theres some wait to that given that expense so Im still doing it all solo which slows down the development as theres other stuff Ive got to do too. I know that expense also got quoted for the art and ideally as a fun side thing I do want to do the game much like Amara and Fables Lodge, but this is a more grandiose and interactive story then the linear games Ive already done.

Then theres the issue of adult games overall, I dont like the fact that itch is doing things to the adult games genre in general, which they arent the only ones. Overall I get the reasons as to why they are and itch is still a great resource for developers of games to try and get those games to those that want to support them. But this isnt a mainstream style game, it's a game that I think Id like to have fun with and if others do too, thats great. It's also why I dont ask for donations or the like for this game so as to avoid that.

Im looking at other avenues to try and share the game in the event that this channel gets shut down or itch changes their stance again, so to anyone interested you can follow me via the various social sites Ive added, google is always good too to find those socials also.

This was a bit more then I was going to say and likely will do that log eventually, still the game is getting there overall.
