• Progress Report (October)
  November 01, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#progress, #report

  Hey folks. I'm not dead, and neither is the project. Like I mentioned some time ago, I’ve started working on a new project iteration - that’s the good news. The bad news is that October’s been a... Continue reading

  
• Update (Sept. 18th)
  September 17, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#update

  Salut. - Made minor adjustments and fail-safes to several game elements; - Overhauled the logic for using items from the inventory and containers, as the previous system was prone to null reference er... Continue reading

  
• Weekly Report (Sept. 16th)
  September 16, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Hello. The time has finally come. I've implemented all the content I wanted for the demo. I still need to playtest the build, but in the Unity Editor, everything runs more or less smoothly. If any iss... Continue reading

  
• Weekly Report (Sept. 8th)
  September 08, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  'Sup. There won't be a new build today/tomorrow. In part because I underestimated how much time implementing dialogues would take, and in part because I didn't really focus on dialogues alone this wee... Continue reading

  
• Weekly Report (Sept. 1st)
  September 01, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Hey. Not beating about the bush, this build doesn't have new content. However, it does have some fixes. Thus, it makes little sense to postpone the update. The list of changes is as follows: - Fixed t... Continue reading

  
• Weekly Report (Aug. 26th)
  August 26, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Hello. This is, for the most part, a bug fix/systems refinement update. I spent the biggest chunk of the week working on texts, and the remaining time on code and playtesting. Unfortunately, the texts... Continue reading

  
• Weekly Report (Aug. 19th)
  August 19, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Hello. I've made more changes than my lazy bum managed to keep track of. Frankly, I'm tired of lengthy introductions, so let's hop straight to the list: The list of changes in the build: - Wrote and i... Continue reading

  
• Weekly Report (Aug. 11th)
  August 11, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Hello. I couldn't not have diverged from the original plan, could I. Yes, as you might have guessed, I found myself working on a variety of things that are not implementing the new dialogues. I mean,... Continue reading

  
• Weekly Report (Aug. 5th)
  August 05, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Henlo. I achieved not as much as I'd hoped last week. Most of the time I had I spent on cataloguing items, and I'm still not entirely satisfied. I feel like I'll have to re-catalogue everything again... Continue reading

  
• Weekly Report (July. 29th)
  July 29, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Heya. Despite a rather busy week full of real-life problems, I managed to accomplish everything I wanted, except for one thing - equipment for the city guard. So, yes, the new dialogues are in, as wel... Continue reading

  
• Weekly Report (July 22nd)
  July 22, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Hi. Ah... I haven't booted Unity editor at all in the entire previous week. I was working on the texts for the latest combat encounter outcome, and it took more time and effort than I'd imagined. Even... Continue reading

  
• Weekly Report (July 14th)
  July 14, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Konnichiwa! And it's done, the combat is finally no longer a random-number-generator-fest. I mean, it still is, because action picking is still largely based on whether the roll was successful or not,... Continue reading

  
• Weekly Report (July 7th)
  July 07, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Hey. This week has been an absolute nightmare. It's been hot like hell, and I've had trouble sleeping (still do, actually), and neither has contributed to high productivity. Needless to say I achieved... Continue reading

  
• Weekly Report (June 30th)
  June 30, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Well hello there! Posting this build earlier than I usually do. The reason being the comparably stable state of the build (I hope it is), as well as the fact that I don't really know what else to cram... Continue reading

  
• Weekly Report (June 24th)
  June 24, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Bonjour. Maybe my inability to present a basic, yet functional, combat perk system last week was a blessing in disguise. I have changed the approach, and now, the system is in a more or less bearable... Continue reading

  
• Weekly Report (June 17th)
  June 17, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Hey. I ran into way more problems than I had anticipated at the beginning of the previous week. I thought the basis for the combat perks was sound, but as it turned out, it was not. Not really. The re... Continue reading

  June 10, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Henlo. Browsing the site without a VPN is a bliss, thanks itch. That week wasn't nearly as productive as the one before. I was aiming to adjust the perk system, add combat perks support, and implement... Continue reading

  June 03, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Hola. G, it only took about an hour to upload the measly 118 mb to the site using a crappy VPN. I'd hoped that itch would fix the problem for Russian users (at the moment, Russian IPs are prevented fr... Continue reading

  
• Weekly Report (May 26th)
  May 26, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Heya. 0.5.1 is finally here, coming a week later than anticipated, but a day earlier than builds are usually posted. A perfectly balanced release, as all things should be. As one might have expected,... Continue reading

  
• Weekly Report (May 20th)
  May 20, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Hey. So, ah. I went on a tangent, again. While I have implemented the pre-fight dialogue last week, all the rest of the changes were completely unplanned, and some even straight-up broke the game in p... Continue reading

  
• Weekly Report (May 13th)
  May 13, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Hey. I won't sugar coat it, this week's progress leaves much to be desired. I felt really unmotivated and tired of developing this demo. So, not much has been done. I did add the ending for the shoppi... Continue reading

  
• Weekly Report (May 5th)
  May 05, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Heya. I released the previous build a day later last time, so it's only fair that I release this build a day earlier. I mean, I wasn't planning on anything ambitious this week anyway, so I could affor... Continue reading

  
• Weekly Report (Apr. 30th)
  April 30, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Sup. I wasn't at home for the bigger part of yesterday, so I had to postpone testing and fixing to today. The good news is that I implemented sorting to all relevant modes and implemented having to we... Continue reading

  April 22, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Hey, folks! Goodness gracious, this was a tough week to drudge through. So, uh... no belt or equipment weight system this week (hidethepainharold.png). I kinda stuck with exchange containers and the t... Continue reading

  
• Weekly Report (Apr. 15th)
  April 15, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Hello, fellow kids. I've had a busy week, so, while I technically achieved what I wanted, I didn't do it to the full extent. As such, I wanted to populate Zondok's trade list with finished items, but... Continue reading

  
• Weekly Report (Apr. 8th)
  April 08, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Hello. This is a mess. When I was revising and translating the dialogues related to Zondok previous week, they looked fine. Sure, they weren't peak creative writing, but looked decent, on paper. After... Continue reading

  April 01, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

• Weekly Report (Mar. 25th)
  March 25, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Hi. I'll try to be brief from now on. This is supposed to be a weekly report, not a weekly essay or something. I finished adjusting and testing the tile system, made some changes to the existing syste... Continue reading

  March 11, 2024 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Hey everyone. I didn’t feel very well this past week, which forced me to take more breaks than I usually take, but I think I finished overhauling the traverse tile system. However, I'm not going to... Continue reading

  December 18, 2023 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#weekly, #report

  Yep, it's that time of the week. This week, I mostly worked with code, not so much in-game content, but apart from that I added a feature I never even considered adding before the idea struck me: a sk... Continue reading

  November 22, 2023 by YetAnotherUser (YAU)#fix, #update
