The Textbox Update is out now!

Development/Future Updates:

Dialogic 2:

Creating dialogue using dialogic 2 was relatively simple; however, I wasn’t able to use multiple text box styles without causing the game to crash. I tried and tried for what felt like years, until I decided to bite the bullet and stick with the textbox that supports character portraits.

Because of this, many NPC’s who didn’t have portraits now require one. So, until I either create portraits for them or create a better default portrait, NPC’s without portraits will use this:

Decent, but not ideal…

Deadline:

This update features a LOT more content than the V0.1.0 release, so I was pretty hesitant to just push the game out as-is on the 15th (Which was promised in the previous devlog).

To make up for that, though, I decided to add a new building to the town (The Apartment Block)!

This wasn’t planned for at all, so surely I managed to get it done with zero issues whatsoever!

…

Somehow, I managed to create an entire building (with little to no bugs) in just five… half days of hard work! (I get lazy.)

Conclusion:

I hope you’re able to enjoy exploring and meeting the townsfolk!

If any HUGE bugs arise then I’ll try to patch em up relatively quickly. Aside from that, I’m planning to focus on gameplay-centered updates and tests from now on (so look forward to those beautiful disasters in the near future!)

That’s all for now!
