WEEKLY REPORT: FEBRUARY 2
🕑 Added 2022-02-03 00:04:23 +0000 UTCIt's been a tough week. As I said, we have a lot of important coding tasks right now, so today's report will be without juicy pictures and all about our new "Log in" feature
WE'VE MADE A LOGIN BUTTON!
- And it took you a whole week?
No, of course not :D
We worked a lot on the server backend stuff: we made our own database, made a separate in-game sync manager, organized user data, so now the game can save all your game progress
Authorization is done through Patreon. This will allow us to directly integrate with Patreon and give you the promised content depending on your subscription tier. However, saving game progress is available to everyone. Even if the player is not our patron, our server will remember him, but he will not receive all the gaming experience that is available to our subscribers
So all you need to do is press the "Log in" button and if you are already logged into your Patreon account then just press "accept" and voila, the game now saves all your progress on our server. Go ahead and try this right now:
No, really, before we released the third chapter, we need everything to work stably, so the more people try to log in, the better we will hone this system. So please click the "Log in" button in the main menu. The "Log in" button should be replaced with your name and tier. Please write "+" in the comments if it works or describe in more detail if something went wrong
I am crazy about this system because from the third chapter you will have a wardrobe that you can fill with items that can be found literally everywhere throughout the game. Collectables will be given by completing quests, completing storylines, playing minigames, exploring backgrounds. And from the fourth chapter, you will get a full-fledged meta-game beyond the chapters. For example, you'll get new items by working on your own garden, crafting things, interacting with the online barter shop of one of the characters (whom you'll meet already in the upcoming chapter), getting achievements, and so on
WHAT'S NEXT?
We apologize for postponing this report for a few days right after finishing the main achievement of the previous week. Next time I'll post at the end of the week where I'll say that something we are working on is not ready yet. It's better than being silent. For the rest of this week, we will finish some visual assets. Soon I'll post the sneak peeks of new assets. And next week I'll show you what the wardrobe will look like, I think we will finish with its functionality
Within a month, we plan to release minor updates with new features that we want you to try and hot patches. The main major update will contain a big content pie consisting of new features, scenes, and everything we promised
Stay tuned and check the "log in" button
