Monthly Mini-Update for March!
🕑 Added 2020-03-31 22:43:16 +0000 UTCOkay! Here's our first MMU in the Beta proper, and it's a bit weird. There's no Diamond Door this time, the changes I've made are already installed in the game proper. I've been hiring playtesters to try the game out for the first time and give me feedback, and I've been altering the early game a lot to try and make it play better. The values behind the scenes have been adjusted a lot to hopefully make it feel a little more natural and reasonable for a new player to find the blue and pink collars.
I've finally added a proper scrollbar as well, and re-written the intro section and the main menu a bit to try and be more helpful and a little less overwhelming to the casual newbie. The biggest change you'll notice in this update, though, is that I've finally replaced almost all of the Talk - Anything section, since the hints on the main screen now fill the same purpose, hopefully a bit more effectively. I'm hoping that'll help with the early game's feel a bit, as well as make it a little easier to progress. Some of them have several variants included to make it worth coming back to both in the same run and in other runs.
The talk menu's been re-arranged as well, and there are probably a few other adjustments by now that are slipping my mind. It's been an interesting experience tuning the early game up after so long, and I hope it'll make a big difference in letting new players enjoy the true depths of the game, and maybe make the game a little more enjoyable and less of a slog for experienced players as well.
Sorry if it does feel a little light on actual content to read! I expect that'll be rectified more in the next chunk, once the poll for voters has closed, since it looks like some new side content may well be getting voted in.
Either way, I hope you enjoy the new, tightened and cleaned up early game!
