Final Stretch (Patreon)
Content
The last few components are going in as we speak. Including the main menu animation album, credits, the placeholder UI for a lot of systems that are simply going to look super pretty without actually doing anything yet, combat animations (combat is working, but it's not pretty yet), the most basic of combat balance, and finding all the massive initial bugs.
Me and Wilson are both headed out for the weekend due to prior obligations from before joining this project (we did only join around 10 days ago), and Alniarez is keeping up work while we're on the road. We'll be finishing this entire thing off tonight once we arrive at our destination. Regardless of the level of polish though, we'll be putting out the super basic alpha, displaying the most bare bones of systems we wanted to include.
We're all super excited to be pulling the first systems together today, and then all that's left is waiting for feedback from you guys (We're considering setting up a forum specifically for bug hunting, alternatively a feedback/bughunting post on the patreon, not sure which would be best since we're already looking at 2-3 posts for this release what with votes and such). While the initial demo will be only like, 10 minutes max play, we all hope that the potential for expansion will be obvious from what very little we show.
Homestretch guys. Talk to you tomorrow, and after that, we'll be back on schedule coming Monday.
Edit: Also a PSA for any former Breeding Season Backers. I will be giving the cloudmeadowgame@gmail.com inbox ONE passthrough tonight before we release. If you're not in our system then, you miss out on this month's release. Any emails for free access registration following that last pass through will be entered into our system for the August-October releases (Anybody currently signed up will get the releases from July-September), this includes people who try to register but fail to do so for various reasons (didn't give us proper proof of previous support, didn't give us their email if they sent it through the Patreon message system, didn't link their account at all when they emailed us, etc.)
Also, please remember, if you are a backer already, signing for this system won't stop your contributions from being collected by Patreon. Our system is completely separate from Patreon's, and is just an email mailing list.
