Road to Conway Update 8


It is that time of the month again, how about it? Keeping your ears perked for what to expect from the next update?

And a good time for it too as Update 8 will be the biggest one we have yet. Mind you some of that is down to just some happenstance that ended with us carrying over some writing that was done for Update 7 but wasn't actually released with it. But whatever, it still counts. I don't remember the exact number, but I think it'll scratch something like the 23k word mark. So, there is plenty of new stuff (at least for a part of you, some routes haven't really been touched and get only a few additions.)

One of the scenes fully implemented with it is the dice scene with Julian & Wolf, and it'll be a fun little instance of some actual random dice roll. Now, this might not sound like much, but I'm not a coder, so I'll take any wins I can get, which in this case is the win of figuring out how to do some dice rolls and have them lead to different scenes. Is it much of an achievement for anyone else? Perhaps not. But I'm just a dumb dog.
Initially, it actually was more elaborate, but I had to cut down on the complexity of the dice rolls, so now it'll just be one of them, rather than multiple. That's one me for being a dummy and not quite grasping the rules of Hazard at first... again, I'm just a dumb dog.

Of course, there's some art as well and all that good stuff, but mainly it's a writing-heavy update. I mean really, at this point most updates will just be more writing and more art. We've got the basic stuff for the game laid out, stuff like the UI, some sound effects etc. and that means for the most part we can just focus on the writing and the art at this point.

I hope you're looking forward to it, and if you're impatient then perhaps consider signing up to Patreon! You'll not only get to play Update 8 immediately, but of course can look forward to update #9 at the beginning of the month.
Not to mention that Patreon is ultimately what makes this game go round. So you'd help tremedously even with a small contribution. :)
I'd certainly appreciate it if you consider signing up if you have the means to do so.
