Testing is continuing.  A bit slower than I was hoping, but we're approaching the end.  The game itself is playable and we're just taking care of a few odds and end bugs.  Maps have to be gone over to make them more visually interesting and I'm adding in some filler dialogue.

Hopefully release by the end of the month.

  1. a light at the end of the tunnel, halleluja, if there were no update i had written the following:

  3. That are great news!

    Any chance to get back to the "old" villages? I missed that blue haired girl at the orc village and would really like to add her into my harem, while she is unique with her blue hairs.

    There is also a bug: When you are at the end from the first plot (in that cave, where you can save before you go to that big city and get arrested). If you hit that point, you'll not get attacked on the world map anymore, making it impossible to spot the orc camp in the northern forest, because the patrolling orcs don't show up.

    But in general, I love your game really really much. Can't wait to get my hands on 0.6

    1. The colonies will be out of reach until 0.6c unfortunately. Design decision made to make the updates more frequent. 0.6 complete is still months away.

      That is a known bug. It has been fixed, but you'll have to start a known game before before the Corsix content if you want to explore it before 0.6c

    2. Thank you very much for the update.

      Take your time, we're able to wait until 0.6c is done.

      I wish I could help you with that guilty verdict/jessica save game problem, but I think I played to much on the "Nice guy" path...

    3. They don't have to be simultaneous, in fact I'm testing for two different things. 0.6 plays out a bit different depending on how you've treated Jessica. There's two seperate paths based on ethos, but those each of those slight paths and I just want to make sure I didn't cross any the events up.

      The guilty verdict is a far larger concern to me. I might of created an event sequence that would end in returning to the title screen and hard-coded into a 0.5.1 guilty save. I don't think I did, but I'm not 100% sure how VX works and unfortunately saved over my save in that position. I think I fixed it, but would like another save just to be sure.

  4. Saves from 0.5.1 will work in 0.6?

    1. 99% sure. A bit worried about a bug with a guilty verdict if you saved at the tram yards, but I think that I fixed the bug and haven't been able to replicate it, but also don't have a save from exactly that moment anymore.

  5. Even though I am anxiously waiting for the new release, I would rather play a better quality game instead of a rushed piece of crap, so take your time!

    1. I don't do the rushed thing, this is just a hobby :).

      I'm doing the split release for two reasons
      1. Try to get to a more consistent release schedule
      2. The plans for 0.6 are complex. If I was to code the primary arc, open world gameplay, and adjust the old content for some of the changes that 0.5 introduced and 0.6 will, it would take long enough that I would probably lose motivation during the time. Nearly happened during 0.5. By breaking into smaller parts, I can approach each segment with a doable timeframe.

    1. Not today sorry. Still a few mapping things that need to be taken care of and I need to create a good number of filler events. Soon though.

  9. It will be ready when it is ready. I don't have any exact timing, it's not like this has to get shipped to factories for CD printing. When the last remaining issues are fixed (text over-runs atm) I'll upload and release.
