Release of Preview Version of Dr Diggler v0.7
🕑 Added 2020-01-05 17:51:34 +0000 UTCI have a preview release of Dr Diggler for patrons today! It highlights some of the new sequences, and actually has all the sequences that the new release will have, except for 4 sequences (that lead you to the beginning of level 3) and about half the third date. You can just enjoy the new sequences, or you can play it through (though you might want to wait until the end of this month or next, when I'll be releasing the full version 0.7).
I was afraid I was going to have to postpone this preview release a week, and felt terrible, since I was aiming so hard to get this to you all this weekend. But the menu strip at the left was broken, I realized, so you couldn't save or load your place in the game ... But I worked double-hard and managed to get it working on Saturday! (Many thanks to GoThunder57, who hunted down a number of bugs, that I was able to fix for this version too!)
I'm going send the link to download the preview version to 10$ patrons in a few minutes. In two weeks, I'll widen that to 7$ patrons, and two weeks after that, I'll widen it to 3$ patrons.
This preview version will take you to a Patrons' Page in the game (after the cover and a page or two intro), where you can click on links to preview a bunch (not every one, but many of them) of the new stuff. You can also click on links to go to level 1 or level 2 and start playing the game as it stands now. Right now, it's missing about half the variations of Bryan's and Trish's third date, and Bryan's exam to pass to level 3, plus the three intro sequences on level 3. You can always get back to the special Patrons' Page by clicking the big red button near the top-left of the webpage.
I'm aiming to get the full version 0.7 out to everyone by the end of next month (or possibly even this month if things go quickly). I'm also going to include a "map" that will be free for everyone that highlights where new updates are. I'll still be releasing a special Patron's version when the full version 0.7 come out, that adds a few extra patron courtesies (for example, a Next Page button on the quiz pages, so you can "cheat" slightly; plus other little cheats and niceties for patrons).
Hope patrons all enjoy this preview release! And whew, I'm going to catch my breath and catch up on a few hours of sleep now ...

(P.S. I also widened one more Aftermarket 2 page for 7$ patrons (see www.blog.fuguetales.com/patrons7/ for links), and three more pages for 3$ patrons (see www.blog.fuguetales.com/patrons3/ for links).)
