Well I wish I could say A LOT has been done, but there hasn’t been done anything at all…

It was planned that I would take one week off in order to keep the rest in myself and the week after that, well….

My situation got pretty bad….
Deep pain in my chest and belly caused me to call the doctor in the middle of the night who got herself into a panic sending an ambulance to me to check up if my heart was still in order…
Dang! Now I was not only ill, but also scared as crap!

Well, rest assured folks, my heart is completely in order. Either I ate something wrong, or I just caught a virus or so. Medication lowered the pain and in stead of that I got couching and sneezing like crazy, so I guess that given the circumstances I deemed it a wise thing to postpone all activities on this game until I really felt better.

Today is the first day I actually feel like I can get on the move…
I’ve done some pre-work to get into Ryanna discovering her first transformation form now, and the next challenge will be to make the transformation itself happen. This ain’t gonna be an easy process, but I hope I can give it my all.

Now after this transformation thing works, I’m gonna start on implementing the first city and that will also be the moment that some alpha versions may be given out to a selected group of people. Please note, you will then get access to a game that is in a VERY EARLY state of development, so many feature will be very very buggy or not even be implemented at all.

The alpha will only be available on itch.io on a secret page I have there. Why itch.io and Game Jolt, you wonder (as it does feel like a bit of treason for me as a Game Jolt moderator), well itch.io allows me to easily keep the alpha up-to-date everyday, with a simple unix shell script thanks to the Butler tool, and as long as Game Jolt as no equivalent, all I can do is upload it manually, and since I intend to update the alpha every day (that is every day I actually WORKED on the game), an CLI tool is simply needed as through a browser upload it’s just undoable. I must face facts here… Sorry!

Please note that when you sign up for being an alpha tester I do want you to take a look if there are issues I don’t know about and put them on my issue tracker if you find any. And of course, don’t discuss in the open what kind of story line plot-twists or in-game jokes you found, as we don’t want spoilers before the game is even out, now do we?

If you are interested, you can just leave a reply and make sure I have a way I can contact you in private, like a PM on the LÖVE forum, or throw me a friend request on Game Jolt, or befriend me on Discord or whatever (I want to avoid e-mail), so I can once the alpha get ‘released’ throw you the url of the secret itch.io page plus its password.
