Dev notes #13 - 2023-11-05
🕑 Added 2023-11-05 14:10:07 +0000 UTCI hope you are all in good spirits! I wanted to share some thrilling updates with you about my journey in developing Etlina’s Principle, and I can’t wait for you to see what we’ve been working on.
First, I owe you all a huge thank you for your patience and continued support during the past few weeks. I’ve been navigating through major home renovations, which, admittedly, have taken a significant chunk of my time and energy. However, I am thrilled to announce that the renovations are finally complete, and life is beginning to settle back into a comfortable rhythm. I am also keen to provide you with more consistent content in the future, and I have a few ideas about what we can do in the interim between major updates (more on this soon). What does this mean for Etlina’s Principle? More development time, progress, and gaming magic are coming your way!
Levelling Up Our Script with a Professional Touch
In my commitment to bring you the best game possible, I am excited to show you the fruits of my recent partnership with the writer that I mentioned earlier this summer. They have meticulously combed through the game's script, not just correcting grammar and syntax errors but also enhancing the flow and consistency of the writing. Our goal? To immerse you deeper into the world of Etlina’s Principle and provide a seamless and captivating narrative experience.
New Features!
The excitement doesn’t stop there! We have been hard at work implementing a slew of new features to enrich your gameplay:
New Menu System: Enjoy a streamlined and intuitive menu system during rest scenes, designed for smoother and more immersive navigation and a better overall gaming experience. This new system will also tie into more expansive features I have planned further down the road.
Smart Menu Handling: Our new menu system intelligently removes choices once they are selected, ensuring a clean and user-friendly interface. No more repeated dialogue; if the option is there, then it means there’s more to say.
Secrets and Discoveries: Embark on a lore hunt within Etlina’s Principle! Uncover hidden secrets that reveal more about our characters and the world they inhabit. Dive deeper and connect the dots for a richer story experience.
Never Miss a Secret: I understand how frustrating it can be to miss out on content simply because you didn’t know it was there. That’s why I’ve added a handy eye button that will appear in the upper right corner of your screen when secrets are near. Hover over it to reveal lens flares that guide you to undiscovered secrets and interactions. No FOMO and no need for guides or walkthroughs!
Mark Your Calendars!
Get ready to dive back into the world of Etlina’s Principle with our upcoming update featuring all these new enhancements. Set your reminders for two weeks from now – I hope you are as excited as I am about the changes, and I would love to hear your thoughts over on the discord server! Keep an eye out, too, as I have an exciting story update in the pipeline that I hope to be coming your way before long!
Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your incredible support and patience. The journey of developing Etlina’s Principle has been nothing short of amazing, and it’s all thanks to you.
