Na realidade temos um canal em português no nosso servidor de Discord, que é exclusivo para nossos patrons. Mas existe também um servidor em português para visual novels furry, arranjei um convite para você.
Is this your first time playing through the Hinterlands on this machine? Does it previous save files where you played through it before?
These events you mentioned are all part of the expanded hinterlands content, which is unlocked by...
First of all, three out of five locations will only become available after you have unlocked the two achievements called "The Tale of Argos and Io" AND "Shedding a Light". To do so you must complete Hinterlands 5and visit "The Shed" in at least one of your playthroughs.
If you just want the most recent builds of the game, you can just pick the lowest tier (3USD). The higher tiers give you more goodies like streams about the game's development (5USD), unpublished prototypes, short stories (10USD), and access to play test builds (15USD). These are just some of the most noteworthy benefits, you can find more on our Patreon page.
Yes. Some stuff in there is no longer accurate as we have changed how some systems work. We will get to it later down the road when things are more consolidated.
Build 9 (and 10) are out for patrons. We'll release Build 9 on Itch when the Chapter Select feature is presentable -- which has been going forward at a great pace ever since Creeples joined the team to help us with that. No release date yet, but it's going as fast as we can manage.
I'm going to do some minor tweaks in the writing as we implement the new sprites, but I don't plan anything major. Mind you, the Leader background will have a big benefit going for it somewhat soon.
We're going to have a "portrait" in the player character's text box to help differentiate his lines from the narrator's. Though his "portrait" won't be showing his face or anything like that, it'll be a symbol representative of him.
All tiers give you access to the current build (as of this moment, Build 0.9) but the Good Master tier also gives you access to the playtesting version of the next build (0.10) before it becomes available for all patrons.
This is certainly a chapter that due to its size could have been split into two, maybe even three, but during production we framed it as just one chapter with a few internal subdivisions (that's why I mentioned that we're publishing the first "act" of Chapter 20).
These builds will not cut cut off during the actual scenes. Perhaps a more accurate way of describing it is that I envisioned Chapter 20 being played more or less without long interruptions, and I would consider that the best, 100% way of enjoying it. Right now, in this new format, I'd say that for the readers there's a trade-off. The transitioning between scenes will be, let's say, at 80% quality instead of the the 100% I envisioned, but I do think there'll be a new kind of fun to taking it one update at a time and being able to discuss with others. I think some people will like that, but I can also look back and see my original vision and how it was supposed to play, see the pros and cons.
My suggestion to you: when Build 0.8 comes out to the general public, check out the first scene. See how you feel about it. If you'd rather wait for the entirety of Chapter 20 to come out, that's fine and I'm sure you'll have a great time!
For backgrounds, Humanities helps you with the puzzles at the start of the game, while Arts lets you recruit an extra staff member. If you pick Arts I recommend you recruit the cook, Khenbish, because his route is already implemented.
As for "route", just treat Asterion kindly and you'll be fine.
Minotaur Hotel will continue as usual. In our most recent DevLog I said that not even civilization collapse could stop me, and it sure as hell isn't going to be platform shenanigans that's going to do it. Regardless, I've been following the situation closely and I'm hopeful that this situation will be reversed... Soon, I hope.
Besides, the SFW Mode has not been affected. Even if things remain like this, with adult content essentially shadowbanned, we have that as a way to bring in people.
That said, we'll probably look for backup plans soon and it's pretty much certain that we'll try to publish on Steam ASAP.
Minotaur Hotel will not die. The current situation is difficult but, to bring a personal thing to the mix, during the pandemic I worked with COVID healthcare. I've pushed through the direst situations imaginable. We all survived that.
So, everything will be alright. We will find a way.
The main obstacle, if I can call it that, is that I'm trying to setup a company first so that all the accounting is done competently and so that the money goes into the game at the most advantageous tax rate.
