Progress Transparency/Quest Overhaul. (Patreon)

Every version I get a lot of questions asking what contributes to what ending. Will this decision put me towards the good ending? Maybe the bad? The worst?

Honestly, I became sort of tired of these questions, but I understood that it's because nothing is really clear outside of obvious circumstances. For example, the true ending of the chapter involving Melanie. If you get the good option, you'll know. If you get the bad ending, you'll know. But what about other choices in the game? How will I know? It's a long game and I would like to know which choices matter, etc.

Well, from v13 and onward, you will know! Every quest that contributes to any ending will notify you. What do I mean by "notify"?

 =============================== 

Quests that contribute to the good and true ending will display like this:

Quests that don't necessarily contribute to any ending will display like this:

===============================

But this transparency isn't limited to quests. Any decision you make will clearly display which path it set you down.

Decisions that contribute to the good ending will display:

This is all very WIP and the gears will disappear moments after they're displayed. I'll probably make custom graphics for each one, but for now, these are their placeholders.

 =============================== 

Speaking of Quests... They've also gotten an overhaul with the use of Quest Cards!

These are just a few examples of the new Quest cards I'm working on. Really excited for them and gives each quest their own feel of importance. As shown above, each card will be personally stylized as well. Overall this is mostly a cosmetic change rather than a gameplay/mechanic change. Just one of those things I'm working on when im tired and requires not much effort from me.

That's all that I have for this week though. Thank you guys for supporting me once again and I hope you have a wonderful week!

But wait! There's actually something I need to bring to your attention. Starting from July 1st, Patreon will start charging you tax. This money does not go to me, obviously and your pledges will cost slightly more than normal. If this is a problem, please adjust your pledges before July 1st!
