Enskevos news + poll ! (Patreon)
Content
We wanted to update you all on the progress made on Enskevos.
We have realized that we need more time to make a significant update each month. And it is also true that not all the supporters on this page are interested in the game, partly because of the platform limited to only Windows, partly because it is not their genre. So, after much consideration, we have decided to separate the game from the Patreon page and instead, it will be sold on itch.io.
But don't panic, all supporters who have already donated enough money to match the game price will still receive a key for free once it is released on itch.io . The price to match is 18€ (basically two month as a chocolate travelers, or 6 month as a vanilla)
We must reiterate the fact that some of the text and story elements in the game are currently placeholder and incomplete. This is because we always were in a hurry to produce a meaningful update every month for our fans, but because we couldn't devote ourselves fully to the project, we had to take some shortcuts.
We would like to release updates that may have more substance and polish
We want to work hard to bring you more valuable content and not a product that doesn't live up to the standard
This was as far as future updates were concerned, while as far as current development was concerned:
since last December we have had to start development from scratch. Now the game is running in HTML5 and is programmed much more efficiently and there are many little improvements added ( basically all stuff learned through Princess Captor TD ) plus it could also work on smartphone! And last but not least, we will be able in the future to support multiple languages, were before it was limited to one language only.
However, despite all the improvements our current issue is that now the narration has to be put back in and takes a long time. We thought that in three days we could reintegrate all the dialogues with their facial expressions and graphics etc.. but It's a very long and tedious process that require more time! But once done, it's done!
So, it will not be possible for us to produce an update by the end of this month, in any case, we felt it was a bit sad to just reintroduce again the same content as last month without anything new except the different platform.
We will continue to work hard on this project but, after the next release, the updates will no longer be on a monthly basis but to when they are ready, one story at a time. The game is still far from ready, we still need to find out what happened to Claudia's son, investigate in the capital and explore the monster community, not to mention a rework on Tethis' story!
We're going to keep needing your opinion on the appearance of upcoming characters and on some possible scenes that will happen (if you know what we mean... ;) )
For instance, we planned a new short adventure that will function as a tutorial of sort. There will be introduced a new character, that will also make an apperance in a later story, so... Between these three option, what she should look like?
Thank you for your continued support, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We look forward to sharing more updates with you in the future as the game development progresses!
Sincerely,
The Fokk3rs!
