Road to Conway Update 15


Hey everyone!

Brrr brrr brrr, getting a lil bit chilly here, doesn't it? I hope things are going well for all of you now that we're closing in on the release of Update 15 of Conway, scheduled for release on the 1st of December.
It will run under the name of "Feeding Addiction" and will be an update mostly focussed on story additions, particularly we'll of course be dealing with the whole situation with Arthur and trying to convince him. But there will be additions to other paths as well, so almost everyone will have something new to look forward to.

For example, how about playing wingman for Rajeeyah? They'd make a good pair I'd say.




But of course like so often we've got some other bits and bobs as well, as we continue to file off some of the rough edges. One new addition for Update 15 is that we've finally implemented a last name selection as well. So upon rejoining your saves you'll be greeted with this screen:



This is something I actually wanted to implement pretty early on, but then we had the dedicated name select window and it became weirdly complicated to add a last name. So now, going forward, if you are addressed formally then you'll be mentioned by your family name rather than the generic "recruit".
This change is also backwards compatible, like i said if it's a save where you don't have a last name yet (so, all of them) you will be asked to implement it upon loading into it.
The default name is going to be Kelly, as voted on by our Navigator supporters. It's a reference to one of the writers of our sources, namely it's Samuel Kelly and his book "An eighteenth century seaman".
Which means that the "official" name of the main Character is James Kelly. Hi, James! (And yes, that also means that up until this point he did not have an official last name lmao.)

I hope you're looking forward to the new update and thank you very much for your support. :)

And then, closing out of course I would be wrong not to mention the Patreon. In the end this is what makes this project possible in the first place. If you like this game, and want to show your appreciation and help the development by giving us more option through additional funding, then do please give the Patreon (Or Subscribestar) a peek. Every bit helps, so even if you just want to chip in a buck or two it'll be greatly appreciated. :)

Out of curiosity, since it was a vote, what were the other options for the last name? Or was it more of a free for all where people suggested names and the Navigator tier patrons liked Kelly the most?

All of them were references to the memoirs that are being used as resources, so it was James Dana (Two years before the mast, by Richard Henry Dana), and James Spavens (Memoirs of a Seafaring life, by William Spavens) alongside the Kelly one.
