MP Development Update #24 (Patreon)

Hey everyone

The past week was the craziest week of this year so far for me. That's why I haven't posted in a while. It's mostly personal stuff, but don't worry, everything's great:)

The other thing is, if you've been a patron long enough, you might remember I was moving about this time last year. Lease is almost up and I'm moving again, but this time for the last time, at least for a long while. I'll be at the new place by this weekend and finally there'll be lightning speed internet. No more 3 hour uploads.
So of course there's a lot of things to take care of with this moving but no worries, there's still gonna be a release this month.

And about the release.
Midnight Paradise 0.10 is coming this month and it's going to be a bit different than the previous updates.
As you know the game is a sandbox type of game and there were always things I wanted to do with this format, but I always swept them aside because the main scenes were more important. The result is that right now I think the game has substance, but needs more flavor. So in the 0.10 release I'm adding those things I've neglected throughout the past year. Things like talking to the characters outside of scenes, clickables in rooms that give more background story, some world building and some scenes that aren't mandatory but would add some depth to the game. (For example, some night when you go out to the club you would find Ruby there and be able to have some interaction with her)

Also some general polishing - and a new save/load interface because it's been neglected too. Naming the save files and having screenshots for them is something that multiple people have asked for. I think Lain will also have time to finish the new event trigger system.

This doesn't mean you won't see your favorite characters, but you'll be seeing them in a different way than in the usual scenes.

More updates and previews are coming until release.

And as always, thank you for your awesome support!
