Hey guys!

Town of Passion - Beta 1.2 has finally been released for early beta testing!!

IMPORTANT: Out of respect for all the $5+ Patrons and the team that works so hard on ToP, please refrain from sharing this build/link with others.

This build has a very broad focus so checking the changelog is VERY important!  Because of so many various things that were worked on, I also highly encourage you to save frequently.  There could be any array of glitches/oversights that I forgot to finish/patch up that could result in messing with your save.

Thank you so much for supporting and playing Town of Passion!

== DEV LOG ==

I wanted to talk a little bit about a critique that I've heard, especially with Beta 1.1.  It wasn't a very common critique, but an important one to note still.

A few people mentioned that they weren't satisfied with the length of content in Akane's build/storyline.

Length is tricky because it's not my primary focus.  I focus on the quality of the storytelling and events in the game and length usually is a by-product.  But as more people play ToP and set their own expectations, I feel a growing pressure to strike a healthy balance here.

Unfortunately, I worry that ToP Beta 1.2 won't meet those expectations due to it's scattered nature and lack of a single 'focus'.  I've realized that this is something I can't really fix unless I add useless/arbitrary fluff content.  But I do want you to know that it is something I take to heart as I want your expected play time to satisfy the time you've had to wait if that makes sense?

Fortunately, this build was a good way to finish up my backlog of things to do which include a lot of behind the scenes stuff that players may not directly notice.  Updating all prior scenes for example took around 1/2 weeks straight.  But to players, the scenes are likely the same.  (Hopefully smoother with less crashes though)

I apologize if this build or previous ones do not meet your expectations.  The next few builds will all have a 'focus' character/event so I hope that this will help players feel they get their time's worth out of the wait once again.

Designing games is tricky.  Appealing to those who enjoy the games is even trickier.  All I can do is try my hardest to do both and be thankful that you guys are here with me as we go on this journey.

Thank you.
