DevLog: Starting Town
Hey everyone! I'd like to share some of the things with you that have happened in the development of BattleJuice Alchemist recently.
The biggest change within the game was that the starting town "Cherokee Creek" is now "Caribou Creek". I had to admit to myself that I have very little understanding of Native American culture and could end up rehashing stereotypes. I would not want to be disrespectful to anybody, which is why I removed references to Native American culture. I feel like I simply could not do it in a proper way. I think I came up with new imagery that hopefully is not hurtful to anyone and even more in tune with the general theme of BattleJuice Alchemist.
There have also been changes to items, that I briefly go over in this video. They are all detailed in the patch notes, which will be released as soon as the new build goes live on the Steam playtest. If you want to play before the Steam playtest officially goes public, just join the Discord server and send me a message.
