Progress Update


Quick update on how things are going.

Development is going smoothly as of right now, many features have been added/refined.  So I will list off what I have done so far and what's left to keep everyone in the loop.


A simple time system has been added.  The sun will begin to fade into night the longer you spend in the town.  Once night falls, enemies will begin to spawn in every outdoor area ( except outside the mansion ) and these enemies are far tougher than normal enemies.  They have 10x the HP and do triple damage but they also drop rare crafting materials allowing you to make the best gear in the game if you have the recipe book for them.

New chase enemies have been added.   I won't say much about these enemies as I want them to be a surprise.  

Stats have been reworked.  You can also have negative stats (Power is the only exception) If a stat is negative,  it will put you at a disadvantage. Negative defense will increase damage you take and gives bosses/mid bosses a 100% to land a critical strike on you.  Negative Speed will triple or quadruple reload times for the shotgun and rifle.  Negative Accuracy will prevent you from landing critical strikes.

The damage done by all weapons are now based on your Power stat instead of being flat damage.

Many new pieces of armor have been added to give variety to different play styles.

The journal system has been removed completely, instead you can now talk with the one whispering to you in the dream sequences.  She can give you simple flavor text or point you in the right direction if you get stuck.

Save spots have been removed and you can now save from the menu.  The option to save will be temporarily disabled during chases.  The save spot in the van will remain and it will still fully heal you and remove all debuffs.

New debuffs have been added, these debuffs will greatly reduce stats.  Bosses are the only ones who can use them.


As for what will still needs worked on?


The doll scenes have been reintroduced.  The boss of the mansion will once again drop the key to the chapel.  Will getting the doll out be as easy as before?  Well, you'll find out...

The Cat Girl will also be reintroduced.  She will have two or three scenes added.  

A few other monster girls/scenes will be added as well.  The extras folders will remain the same, find the codes in the game to unlock them.

The Mansion will be given some additions.  Mainly a basement and expanded upstairs area.  More puzzles and treasures will be added as well.

Some dialogue needs reworked.  This shouldn't take too long.

After all this, the game will just need tested and if everything is good after testing I should be able to give a release date.


Thanks again for your patience.


Please note the game has not been updated.  This is just to let everyone know how things have been progressing.
