I'm sorry for the intended and unintended delays. Sadly I have had an health accident and I was not able to work on the game for a few months. I'm a lot better now and have continued working on chapter 2. I'm nearing 90% completion. For now, I don't have a release date yet. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Here is a list of changes:
- Introduced Tonika through three new story segments
- Added new character sprites for other story scenes
- Changed Ruza's npc and dialogue sprites a bit
- Changed some old and added a bunch of new dialogue lines to various story segments
- Cleaned up art on some maps
- Improved TV screen controls, no longer need to face the levers
- Normalized a few sound effects, some of them were too loud
- Fixed a few typos
If you want more detailed info about development, you can find a new development log entry right bellow the download buttons on the game's page.
Yes! You have great timing, I just announced it a few hours ago, ha ha! I make smaller but more frequent updates on twitter here: Official Twitter
One for each character and a few surprises. Can't say more than that otherwise it would ruin the fun of discovering it for yourself, ha ha! But don't worry, I will implement an in-game way of tracking all the secrets when the final chapter is done. That way if someone wants to 100% the game, it will be easy to know if you got every secret in the game. As always, thank you for the questions!
The romances work as routes. Chapter 1 is where you get to know your team members and their personalities. You can flirt here and there, but nothing serious happens. Chapter 2 is where you get a bit more direct. Also this is the point where you "lock into" a route. In Chapter 3, the grand finale, the consequences of your choices will unfold.
This is just a basic explanation, however there are a few surprises to this system!
I'm glad you liked the game. Thank you for playing!
Hello! Thank you, I'm glad you like the game! I'll check into that bug you encountered, it could be a graphical glitch. The game will periodically autosave your progress during story events, but it's always a good idea to make a manual save once in a while. The "www" you mentioned at the end is just a link to the official website of the game which is "www.stroj.dev". I'm currently working on the next chapter which will be done in late 2023. Thank you for playing!
