Progress Sneak Peek - May 9
🕑 Added 2022-05-09 23:35:03 +0000 UTCHello everyone and welcome to a new sneak peek of Lucky Paradox
And well... How to start this post... It's been a tough week.
I know I owe you a progress report since last week, but I decided to postpone it, since I was feeling very tired after the release of the second Alpha, so I decided to start with the development of the last part of the 0.8 version, to have it available for everyone as soon as possible.
However, in my residence area, we are about to enter the winter season, the temperatures have dropped quite a lot.
I was so focused overnight, working on the next update, that I didn't notice the cold, I wasn't even warm enough and the next day I started to feel terrible.
Haven't you ever been so focused that you go into a mental bubble?
Therefore, I fell ill since Wednesday: fever, chills, body aches, swollen throat, fatigue, and cough. At first, I thought it was Covid, but fortunately it was not, however, therefore I was in bed for four days with zero energy to do something, though I am still recovering, I have the energy to continue.
I don't like to have to give this kind of news, but being an indie developer, this kind of situations have a direct consequence for the development times. Fortunately, I've been lucky, and it hasn't been something serious, even so, I've lost some valuable days.
Leaving that aside... There have been numerous advances.
As I said, the second Lucky Paradox Alpha has been finished, so only the final part is missing before the public release.
New content was included for Liz, Yui and Prim. For her part, Liz has received a generous amount of content, so she has earned a well-deserved rest for now (unless by popular vote I'm tempted to add more in version 0.9 xD).
Some new features have also been included:
- It is now possible to equip weights to increase Fitness automatically day by day.
- A new mechanic has also been added for Liz, which allows you to search for objects around Argleton to include them in the new investigations of the Museum (Expandable in the future). You can ask Liz for some clues to find the locations of these Artifacts.
- It is now possible to climb Mount Shoguyama. If we reach the top (With enough Fitness) and meet some requirements, we will be able to talk to Mayor Johan, but we can only ask a few questions.
- A new special event was added for Prim, but it will require a special gift and two violet hearts (You probably know what this means⦠wink*).
Thanks to this, there are new ways to progress and more utility for the Knowledge and Fitness attributes.
I've also been working on a new feature!
If you look at the profiles of each Lucky Paradox character, you may notice that there is hidden information, such as: Age, Birthday, Height, etc....
Up to this moment it is not possible to get that information, so I am working on new dialog options that will make it possible to get this information, though we will need some requirements, such as a suitable relationship level and an attribute level like Charisma, Subtlety or Creativity.
So little by little, you will be able to complete the profiles and get all the information of each girl :)
I have already written part of Mary's story, which will also include two new special events that will need a sufficient level of violet hearts to unlock them.
I'll have more details about all this in the next progress report, though, as I still need to work some concepts.
Furthermore, I have finally fixed the reported bugs from the Alpha version and completed the second Beta, which will be available for Candidates in a few moments. My intention was to have finished this earlier, but due to my health fall, I was unable to do so.
Version 0.8 should have a minimum of four hours of new content once it goes public.
And that's it for this progress report!
I'm sorry for the delay this mishap may cause, but I promise I will work hard so you can enjoy the new content soon.
I wish you all a beautiful week and send you a hug from afar.
See you soon with more news!
