It's On The Mouse_v0.5
🕑 Added 2023-09-19 08:58:06 +0000 UTC[About Unity]
Before the update I think I should address the current Unity situation officially here too.
If you didn't hear, Unity (the company behind the game engine I made all my games with) recently released a few news and updates that caused massive backlash in the dev community.
With "It's On The Mouse" being halfway done and most Unity changes having no immediate impact on small devs such as myself, I fear jumping ship now would be more damaging to the game and my future as dev than anything; therefore I decided to continue development as usual and complete "It's On The Mouse" in the Unity Engine as I originally planned.
If I'll be able to tackle more game projects after "It's On The Mouse" then a change of engine will be considered as Unity may lose a lot of relevance and presence moving forward, but that is a problem we can face once the shift at the café "On the Mouse" is over.
TL;DR "It's On The Mouse" is still in development, no worries!
[Our New Minibot Maid]
I first teased her in the previous update, but it's time to proper introduce the new playable character of "It's On The Mouse": Ellie.
Ellie The Minibot is a lovely robo vtuber with a lot of positive energy that was crazy enough to accept the job at our little cafè!
Meet her playable version in the game and then make sure to go and say hi to the real deal over on twitter and twitch!
[v0.5]
We halfway through "It's On The Mouse" Development!
Kind and Strong Patreons can download v0.5_full here
Smart Patreons can download v0.5_light here
Here are the full patch notes!
•Now available also on the light version
Shift 07: Metal Body, Soft Heart and Shift 08: Another cup are now available to all early access versions. Play them to unlock Ellie and deal with a new customer of the café!
•Added Shift 09: I'm not a pest! and a new unlockable minigame "JellyFish" (Only full)
A dangerous shift has been added to the game with a new boss putting our little maids in danger!
Defeat this new boss and gain a gold croissant in every stage to unlock a new silly minigame about Jelly and Fish or something!
•Other updates for both light and full version
Bonny model has been updated, sporting a new look better fitting her country attitude!
All the characters are planned to get a model update in the future. Some will get new looks and style while many will receive mostly a texture clean up and better shading, but all characters will be improved in some way.
Thanks and credits to PrinceHans101 for taking up the job of helping me improve and create the textures needed to make the girls look better than ever!
On top of the changes above the game received obviously regular bug fixing as usual.
This is all for the patch notes!
Got here the game finally got past the soft part of introducing the café, most characters and the key mechanics, so I can finally try to push the nonsense a touch forward with more problems and chaos for our little Holly to deal with~
I'm not sure if or how much of the current plans I'll be able to implement, but I look forward to see what I can get in the game next and I hope you'll be as excited as me to find out!
