February Update Post (Patreon)
Content
Hi everyone, In March, both games will be updated, Hero Corruption 1 and HC2. Let's talk briefly about some of the new stuff included in this update:
First, there will be a total of 4 new enemies, 2 for each game.
Hero Corruption 1 is being focused on content, just like the past few months. While HC2 will additionally receive new features like a new UI design for mobile and bonus attributes.
I personally believe that the new UI made gameplay in mobile devices much more comfortable, but there is the downside of having to play with two hands. Please let me know what you think of it once it's released.
I've also implemented bonus attributes, these new type of attributes can only be acquired through new accessories for now, but I have exciting plans for them in the future.
Both versions will have a fair amount of new content but I must admit that keeping the two games active and with frequent updates is not easy, the difference in both engines kinda bothers me a bit, transitioning back and forth between Ren'py and EOS is a little awkard, since EOS is a drag-and-drop and ren'py is more code-oriented.
Second is playtesting, while I find it fun to play both versions, testing and looking for bugs takes a lot of development time, especially when we talk about two games that will be updated at the same time.
You may also have noticed that EOS is broken...Again... This shouldn't disrupt the release of version 1.65, as all the images were uploaded in advance and everything else seems to be working normally, but it does leave a bad taste in my mouth.
EOS and Milovana is the home of Hero Corruption and it pains me to say this, but I fear for the future of the HC franchise when time is being devoted to an engine that is currently so unreliable.
Again, you can count on the HC1 update next month, but we should discuss together the longevity and how much effort should be put into the original version of the game.
On another topic, this month the website subscription was renewed, it is also possible to comment on changelogs anonymously, so there is no need to create an account. Those who follow me on Twitter must already be aware of this.
I have plans for big changes to the site, but it's not a priority... So they might take some time.
And finally, let's try something different this time: HC2's release date will be set for Saturday, March 4th. While Hero Corruption 1 v1.65 will be available for Patrons on Monday, March 6th.
This will give me some extra time to work on potential HC2 bugs and playtest Hero Corruption 1 a little more
That's it for this month's update post !
I'll see you all very soon ! Have a great week everyone and let me know if you have any questions.
