STATUS UPDATE #9 (Patreon)

Hi Guys

The new version is almost ready. Most of the feedback we've received has been about performance issues, so we wanted to take this opportunity to do an initial performance pass and optimize as much as possible. From taking care of assets and code to defining detail presets that give some room for maneuvering if you notice that your GPU suffers too much.

Thanks to your feedback we have been able to solve the bugs reported on discord and via the in-game bug tracker. Most of them were little optimizations to draw calls and game flow that we have already fixed and will not happen in this next version.

The main novelty of v0.12 is to implement the point&click mechanics that will be the basis of exploration. We want to encourage you to explore and discover more about the lore of Peach Hills in this new update. By investigating the academy, you´ll uncover new events, secrets, and new plot lines with the characters.

You have already seen the new stages of the weather system. This was a personal need since I want the mood and immersion to be a differentiating point in this game. I´ve always felt that this type of games lacked that, they´re too direct and almost mechanical in the way they present characters and scenes. I hope that in this update we can confirm that we´re going in the right direction.

We are a small team, and there is a lot of work to be done but we´re gradually establishing the bases of the game and picking up the pace.

We´ll be publishing status reports every 15 days and posting news periodically.

Thanks for your support and have a great week
