HoT – Major Construction Ahead
August 12, 2013 in Games, House of Tail
New layout for the feedback banner.
House of Tail Status
No game update today, but expect one in the near future, (perhaps this week!) 🙂
Above you can see part of the reworking of the daily feedback banner. It still shows an overview, but now you can view individual characters and see what they’ve been up to. This way, it will be easier to see how well everyone’s doing, instead of trying to read through that jumbled mess that it is now.
Spent some time looking into animation, getting the story ready, and making lots of little adjustments. While we’re not there yet, we are much closer to a balanced game. Character prices are now more pronounced, meaning weaker characters are much more affordable and useful. There’s a cap on how many characters you can have that increases while you play, which gives a good build up feeling and will come in handy for the story sections.
It’s been an adventure in coding that I hope is mostly behind us. Things got real goofy with the feedback banner’s string parsing this past week. While we’ve tested to make sure it works, it’s still rough around the edges. Which leads us into…
Major Construction Ahead
Game updates will be kind of wild for a while. Please bare with us–it’s for the best!
The plan is to focus on putting in the story sections, and then adjust casual play around all the maps and things that are added from that. We still have sound, extra goodies for the download version, lots of graphics, an instruction manual, and other things to do that I’m forgetting ^^;
Am pretty excited about it and hope to surprise a lot of you (in a good way) with how this will shape up~
And here was me briefly worried about the lack of updates for awhile.
Well good things come to those who wait, love the news of what we can hopefully play around with soon. I’ll admit am curious and looking forward to seeing the story mode and what delights await us in the downloaded game.
I’d say keep it up, but you need to get it up first, so while willing to wait don’t keep us waiting too long for the next update. (seriously mind take your time no rush)
Can’t wait to see it and see how it fares ; )
Wahey! Looking and sounding good. I’m awaiting the next update with baited breath, however much stuff might break. z: )
I personally find there’s something very exciting about alpha/beta games. Like a world of potential waiting to be born before your eyes…
…and this one has naked Furries in it!
WOOT! 😀
