THE INN CH2 - 1.01.01 RELEASE!

What's up everyone?

This is the release post for the 1.01.01 version of The Inn - Chapter 2!

Chapter 2 is a standalone game, meaning you don't need to have Chapter 1 installed on your computer to play it.

Actually, you don't even need to have played Chapter 1 to play Chapter 2, as it comes with its own World State configurator where you can set up yout world the way you want.<...

THE INN - MARCH 2024 DEVLOG 2

What's up people?

The second half of March went as I expected regarding The Inn's development.

I was able to finish all the scenes I needed for the update and, as of the writing of this post, the only thing left to do before release is adding songs and sfx to the game, which I'll be doing today.

So yeah, tomorrow's release is 99% confirmed!

On the subject of releases, I ...

THE INN - MARCH 2024 DEVLOG 1

What's up people?

So, march has been a productive month so far.

I was able to make good progress on the scene work for the first release of Chapter 2!

The scenes have been pretty cozy so far, with Mike getting back to Linda's house and reconnecting with her.

I'm hoping to get a bit more content done until the end of the month and that it's enough to justify a release. View Post

THE INN - CHAPTER 1 FULL RELEASE

What's up everyone?

This is the release I said I was going to release after Ren'py updated.

It's basically the same as the previous Chapter 1 release with bugfixes and some minor adjustments.

THE INN - FEBRUARY 2024 DEVLOG 2

What's up people?

Continue from where I left off on the last Devlog, I was able to finish every asset for the base game.

After some testing and tyring to break it somehow, I managed to find some issues with the new GameTime system and had to allocate some time to fix them.

I'll have to say, the new GameTime system works like a swiss clock and is so much easier to add new stuff...

THE INN - FEBRUARY 2024 DEVLOG 1

What's up everyone?

Today's devlog is going to be brief so let's get it on.

Since the last devlog I was able to finish everything needed for Linda's house. All rooms are finished and I made 5 different light setups, one for every period (morning, day, afternoon, evening and night) for each of the rooms.

It was hard work but the results are just amazing.

After I finished ...

THE INN - JANUARY 2024 DEVLOG 2

What's up people?

Since I posted the previous devlog back on the 15th I have made some substantial progress on getting everything ready for the real meat of the update.

I have managed to port all the assets I need (over 1500 assets!) and recreated Linda's house's interior from scratch using them.

Recreating her house from the ground up was necessary for two reasons:

What's up people?

How are you enjoying the first half month of 2024?

I've been extremely busy with the development of chapter 2 since january 2nd!

As I'm still in the very early stages of it, the work tends to be very monotonous and boring, so I'm kind of powering through it so I can get to the good part of development as soon as I can.

Right now I'm porting new assets t...

THE INN- DECEMBER 2023 DEVLOG 1!

What's up everyone?

December won't have a BETA release due to the update I'm currently working on consisting of only one long event that will close chapter 1.

I pretty much spent the second half of November working solely on creating renders and porting assets to use on them, so there's not much to talk about on the technical side of things.

I'm currently on the final stretch ...

Working on 0.09.02 has going on smoothly so far!

This BETA will feature one lengthy event that will close Chapter 1's storyline and set things up for Chapter 2.

And, boy... Is it lengthy?

There's a lot of dialogue and a lot of images! We're halfway through November and I'm not even near half of the scenes I'll need for this.

So far, the changelo...

October's been busy as hell with development for me.

I've managed to finish pretty much all the events for 0.09.01 with only half of the assets needed for the last event left, which will leave me with plenty of time to work on the other aspects of the BETA, like the translation, SFX and replays.

On 0.09.01 Release

What's up everyone?

So, straight to the point, I won't be able to release 0.09.01 tomorrow for a number of reasons.

As I talked about in the last devlog, I had a severe creative block at the start of the month, one that I just recently got out of. As such, I wasn't able to finish finish enough content to justify an update, which is the reason I didn't even bother making a poll to as...

THE INN - SEPTEMBER 2023 DEVLOG!

What's up people?

September has been a rough month for me, if I'm to be honest.

I'm having some pretty bad creative blocks since the start of the month.

The ideas can't seem to come as easy as they normally do and, when they do, I have a hard time focusing on what I have to do.

But regardless of that, I still managed to make some decent ...
