NGDN Beta 1.2 (Patreon)

Okay, I've finally got something for you guys! Here's a quick rundown of what you're in for.

This beta is just the intro and the first act. It's short, but it's all been edited and play-tested so it should be a nice smooth experience. There's a lot of little branches of dialogue to go down, so have fun exploring.

There are a few known bugs at the moment which I've got my programmer working on, none of them are game breaking though:

At the start screen, you have to hover and click on 'start game', you can't just press enter.

You also can't close the program at the start screen, you'll have to close the window outside of the program if you're doing it from the start screen.

For some reason the 'next' click sound cancels out the cricket sound in the intro. Not sure why but we're working on it.

Some other things of note:

A few times, there are dialogue options where you only have one choice, for instance when you ask Kara about her interests. You'll have more options in the final game, I just have them singular like that because I'm still threading all the different acts together.

If you're on Mac, you might want to right click open instead of double clicking, Mac can be weird about security stuff.

All in all, I'm very proud of what I've got so far. Next week I'll have act 2 for you, and I'll keep adding acts until I can give you guys an early release of the final. I'm going to bed, but let me know if you folks have any issues at all and I'll fix them ASAP.

Also, thank you so much for all the support and encouragement. Making this game has been a ton of work, but seeing it come together into something complete has me really motivated!!
