Jessika's Diary #7 - January Development Update
Added 2019-01-24 20:30:21 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
We just wanted to update you guys on what has been going on behind the scenes here. We are continuing to work on improving the demo to the high standards we set for ourselves, and have made good progress. The additional part time programmer I hired to help out with the problems with the battle system has finished, and it no longer has any of the issues it did in the previous demo.
Meanwhile Jr.X has rebuilt the exploration system completely from the ground up, to resemble the original plans that I had from it. It now uses corridors constructed of random tiles, in addition to rooms. These tiles can be nothing, battles, chests, curios, or other events, allowing us create the random feel of a roguelike, and make each visit to the dungeon different. Sommy is currently working with Jr.X, creating assets for the new exploration system. He is also working on improving the UI, as you can see on the above image (that will be implemented in the finished demo).
The plan now is as follows:
- We will release a work-in-progress demo to our backers, hopefully next week, with functional exploration and combat.
- We will release the final polished demo to the public next month.
Once again I'd like to thank you all for bearing with us during our staffing issues, and we all hope you'll enjoy the polished demo once we get it in your hands next month.
- Lord A.

I'm one of the staff, mainly the artguy for the whole game.

2019-02-14 06:29:41 +0000 UTCAre you one of the devs or was it just mentioned somewhere? I don't follow the game that closely. Either way a Darkest Dungeon-esque porn game sounds like it will top my list of best porn games.

2019-02-12 18:09:11 +0000 UTCIt might just be a coincidence, but the way you described the new exploration system sounds an awful lot like how it is in Darkest Dungeon. Was there any inspiration there?

2019-01-25 02:31:13 +0000 UTCThat's the same exact example that popped to my mind when I was reading about it. I agree wholeheartedly, this method could be great.

2019-01-24 21:08:47 +0000 UTCNice! I think a Darkest Dungeon style approach to exploration will work great in this kind of game
