We’re closing in on the finish line, ladies and gents! That means it’s time to start putting that functionality into player hands. We’re currently on track for alpha updates going public!
Alpha 1.0 Release days:
- 7/7: For Discord playtesters and the office
- 7/14: For the general public
What is in Alpha 1.0?: You shouldn’t be expecting the world, there will be bugs, playability may be limited in scope, and you may have to poke Elodine about adjustments. This is natural for this stage of the development cycle, bear in mind this is not a finished product you’ll be playing with. Everything is subject to change.
- Functioning health stat
- Functioning sanity stat
- Functioning mood meter
- 6/18 c.AI based characters have been converted and are playable
- Lorebook with over 16k tokens worth of content to explore that is continuing to expand
- A playable adventure limited only by your imaginations, and bugs in Elodine’s Master Jailbreak. This’ll keep the control of the story in your hands, keep the pace slow, and offer some narrative guidance for style. Have suggestions on making this better? We want to hear them!
What is coming up next?: We’re already mapping out 1.1 as we speak, this’ll include pinning your stats and data to each thread instead of overall, focusing on a mobile layout for our stat bar (it’s really only functional for PC right now, deepest apologies there!). 1.2 will aim to fix any lingering bugs from 1.1 as well as involve the ability for the context of messages to be attributed to both the player and the character, meaning health bars will update for each instead of applying every update to your health. 1.3 will include other scripts that already function and aim to put dynamic avatars as well as some customization in player hands.
