The map... (Patreon)

It was so close, but The Shadow over Blackmore is not coming today.
The release date is: Sunday, 15th of May
I could also release it during the week, but I want to be there and have time for you guys and be able to upload bugfixes in case gamebreaking bugs happen, and I only do have time on the weekend next week. So yeah, I think that's best for all.
I know this is like releasing it on the last day possible, and I have a history of doing that, but the game can use some polishing. Right now several things don't work properly. Well, two things, but still...
The inventory and the stats don't show up properly when you click on the GUI buttons during a scene. Instead it takes you to another scene or back to the starting screen.
I was up late yesterday, trying to find an easy, fast fix but that lead only to more errors. So I will take a small step back now and don't rush it. It's really better than doing something like releasing it on midnight and then having to constantly fix it because I rushed the first release.
I will use the additional time to polish things up and add a few more sounds and dialog lines here and there, so don't be disappointed if you were expecting it to drop today. Time flies these days and it will be sunday in no time again.
The custom drawn map is also done. I am very pleased with the result, I love the map, it is so good and you might get an idea of what places this town will have in store for you. It really catches the dark vibe of the town well and shows the different areas around the town like swamps, forest, desert, water and so on that you might be able to explore ;)
The navigation will be handled via tokens that display either the persons you meet or have the area on it, that you are going to visit (right now only two persons because of only 2 side missions/quests available). This was pretty much the missing piece and now it is in the game :) I spent a lot of time on this, I think you will love the result!
Nothing more to add, I get back to working, and you get ready for next week :)
stay kinky!
