✧ Recognized Maniacs Progress Update ~ Mid December 2022 ✧

Oh boy... where did you go, Shipel?

I would like to lightly apologise for my absence in updates. Quite literally, nothing was done over the span of the last notification and now. It turns out that it is incredibly difficult to commit to my personal and academic life alongside developing RM. I ended up snowballing in school work and missed out on a lot of things. For the next few months, I will try to utilise my summer school holidays to my advantage.

So yes, nothing was done. However, just today I was able to finish almost everything in the programming and writing department within a few hours. Here is what we have to offer:

✧ Programming ✧

All act options and sparing methods, included in the dynamic battles package, have been completed.
Reorganised script for efficency.
MAJOR BUG FIX: You are able to interact with the menu interface at the same time as having the choice menu open. In the past, this did not happen and skipped the choice menu, which was annoying and a horrible bug. Some instances in the game included:
- Reqii Berrii's Shop
- Scene Choice Menus

✧ Music ✧

No new music.

✧ Art✧

Some sprite resizes have been created.
Future art concepts have been developing slowly during the months.

✧ Writing ✧

Typos, grammar mistakes and spelling errors have been fixed.

Text-based inconsistencies have been fixed (character text quirks).

New flavour text and more dialogue reworking.

Thank you for your patience. Expect the gameplay patch soon.

✧ Recognized Maniacs Announcement ~ Assets ✧ Just a small announcement regarding assets, including music and art assets...

- RM Development Log ~ 7/07/2022 - Hi all, Now that the DEMO has been released, I'm aware there is a output issue with RenPy where the screen will flicker if the game goes into full screen. For those vulnurable to flickering lights, play with caution.

✧ Recognized Maniacs Progress Update ~ Early July 2022 ✧ Finally learnt how to use Gamejolt a bit better and now I'm gonna copy TS!Underswap's style of reporting RM's progress, if you don't mind :p

@shipel5

✧ Teaser ✧

Nope, this game hasn't died after the DEMO release. We've been carefully listening to your feedback and now we're working on more dynamic battles, in the MURDER and MERCY departments. Battles won't be an instant-win/instant-solve anymore.

- RM Development Log ~ 6/07/2022 - [1] Just under 16 hours before the official release of RM's demo. I hope you're all excited. However, allow me to set some expectations once more.
