HoT Update 8-16-13
August 16, 2013 in Games, House of Tail
A minor update today, probably the last one where it’s only built around demoing casual play. While it doesn’t seem like much, there were a number of behind the scenes things worked on. So it’s okay to skip this update, really. Good news is it’s time to get into the story. We’re looking at about 4 acts, 3 chapters a piece. Maybe more, maybe less.
And we appreciate the comments! Don’t want to keep you waiting too long. Thanks for sticking with us so far~

HoT v 8.16.13
- changed – various things
- can select individual characters on feedback banner
- stat and cost balancing (will be on-going, by no means finished…)
- hiring limited
Initial Impressions – Sticker shock: will have to be more careful with the hiring, lol!
Worker feedback listing: initially taking some getting used to, will give more focus on the functionality after some sleep -_-°
Hiring limited: not sure what this is affecting, but will look into it more later.
Also noticed the reduced confetti on Rep-Up, will check out the online build later on. Build 8.16.13 flies through the fanfare faster than before, lol!
It’s ongoing, but I do feel we’re getting closer. The story play should help polish a lot of this.
In this build, you begin with a cap of 4 characters, and every 10 days you get an additional 2. This exact formula will likely change, and things should be made more clear in game soon.
Still need to streamline the frame rate issues between the two versions, but polish will have to come later ^^;
After fixing that last issue with the charm percentage code, I think the framerate issue is just down to a matter of funneling the game’s size through the browsers. It’s just a matter of paring down the online version into a reasonable demo.
The download version’s speed relies more on the computer running it, so there’s room for added effects and such that lets the graphics chip chew on the extra data and not blast through everything in half a second, hehe!
Minor or major updates, I shall check it out ; )
