ART - Quick Update! (Patreon)

Since our last post was the previous build, I wanted to post a quick update for those following along. There's not a lot to show on the visual end of things (or at least, not a lot I want to spoil), but we're working on the back end of content right now.

I've reworked the intro entirely, and we'll be adding a tutorial level to get people used to the mechanics (hopefully to be implemented this month). We're also working on adding a hacking minigame to finish off the main mechanics of MONOLIGHTER.

On the content side of things, we've been fleshing out dialogue and encounters to be a bit more substantial than 'talk to NPC, receive CG', and will be reworking most of the existing ones to fit with the new style. I'm super excited to start building up the story, so hopefully the amount of work will reflect that!

In terms of Patreon news: Hello, new patrons! We're glad to have you on board. Though MONOLIGHTER might be in its infancy, we've achieved a lot thus far, and will continue to work throughout the year to make something genuinely atmospheric happen. For our $10 tier donators, there'll be a proper commission on the horizon - though we did specify major releases only, I feel like the upcoming release deserves the attention.

Anyway, leave your comments below if you have any questions/queries, and I'll hopefully be seeing you all with another update soon!

EDIT: We received a really cool Dat Shorts review! Though I'm surprised that we've gotten reviewed this early into development, it's a genuinely cool feeling to get something like this. You can check it out HERE.
