Thanks! + Final Content Update (Achievements, Fixes, Beta Build)
Hi Everyone,
First of all, huge thanks for all the comments y'all sent about the final chapters and the ending (and the maze/puzzles!). MelS was really happy to hear the story flowed as intended, even 3 years after we started working on it (he was a bit worried about it). It really meant a lot that so many of you played the game and shared it around and enjoyed the conclusions of the story.
If you have any comment, please send them! MelS and I are always happy to read them!
With that said...
We're getting closer to end the Open Beta state for this project and leaving it be forever, and ever, and ever...
This build is named 4.2.0 (beta), and ironed out issues that I couldn't deliver in last updates (accessibility, bonuses, etc...).
It took me a bit longer than expected (if you follow me on Tumblr or saw the last monthly log, I moved), but it's there!
I have also fixed a "metric ton" of bugs, which hopefully means there are no more bugs at all.
Though... I kinda expect some errors to show up. As always, if you find something, please let me know (easiest on Discord: https://discord.gg/6arc3tDfen - this server will stay there btw, for other projects of mine).
The major addition for this update is....
ACHIEVEMENTS! 37 of them.
Ranging from finding items, doing specific actions, solving things in a specific way, and opening specific pages. And collecting the endings.
Which also means...
YOU WILL NEED A NEW SAVE FOR THIS BUILD!
I SWEAR THIS IS THE LAST TIME! I'M NOT ADDING NEW VARIABLES! I JUST FORGOT LAST TIME TO ADD THE ACHIEVEMENT ONE!!!
