v0.3.2 update: hint system and new customisation options
🕑 Added 2023-07-19 17:32:41 +0000 UTCGood day cadets!
A lot of new supporters have joined us with the latest release. Welcome! We're glad you are enjoying the game.
We have been looking at the feedback on the latest version and we understand that sometimes it's not easy to figure out what to do next. Although we don't plan for the game to unnecessarily hold the player's hand, here is a look at the hint system we'll add in the next version to provide some additional clarity when needed.
The hint system
For the hint system, we've been looking into designing something that won't break the flow of the game. To do so, whenever you will be in your apartment's living room, Eva will now give you a few pointers or reminders regarding quests and character encounters.
The point of this system is not to say exactly what you should do every time of the day, but rather be a collection of proposals if you feel it is time to move the plot forward.
In order to not kill exploration entirely, some special encounters and hidden quests will not have hints, but rest assured they will be documented in the walkthrough.
As a last note, the hint system is optional and can be deactivated from the settings menu.
New customisation options
We were asked a couple weeks ago if it was possible to add a ginger hair color option for the player character. We're happy to announce this option will be available in v0.3.2.
Additionally, we've decided to introduce three new fun colors, which are blue, purple and pink. We debated for a long time how these should be provided and if there should be any special way of obtaining them, but considering the extent of what mods can do in the universe of the game, we settled for simplicity.
All the new colors will be immediatly available at Chromascape Lounge and at character creation.
Main quest update
We have also heard the calls for more structured content to return, and while we agree and do definitely want to get back to our main story and what it entails, we don't want to leave the side areas unfinished.
To that end, we've been busy working on a mix of both this patch, where we will introduce the last area to explore in the Academy, that offers both side content and is where the main story will continue from.
Additionally, we aim to continue fleshing out the side interactions and activities, alongside the continuing story implementations.
Final word
We hope you're looking forward to the new version as much as we are. There is of course a few additional surprises coming, which we'll talk about in the next post :)
Have fun out there!
