Welcome to the Highschool Heroes DevLog - Version 0.4.1
Another update is available, this time fixing some of the main issues from the last major update and applying some specific improvements.
Speaking of the latest update, we had a very positive reception to the new mechanics, especially with the bike race. Soon we will have news to add to the races and make them more dynamic.
And speaking of the future of the game: I'm making good progress on the new features for the next major update. The idea is to try to maintain the pace of releases at the end of each month: one month for fixes and one for new features. The main thing is that the main roadmap is ready, which helps a lot in focusing on the development of the most important items.
Another point: I am preparing an HTML version to be played in a browser. It will have some limitations compared to the executable version and will be used as the basis for the future demo.
Highschool Heroes is my first game project and has been through many changes since the day I started developing it. The initial idea was that it would just be for learning purposes for a course I was taking, but it ended up evolving into a product that I really want to finish, despite the hard work involved. I still want to go into more detail about the development, but that's a story for another day.
Let's get to the updates! And thank you for playing Highschool Heroes!
