New Year? New Updates + Backerkit!
DEAR PASSENGERS 🐞📣
It’s been a while since we’ve updated y’all on what we’ve been up to, so let’s dive right in.
These months have been filled with so many new things - especially for us developers! We’ve been working on a lot of back-end things that sometimes don’t always come across visually, like bug fixes, troubleshooting, and this!
🔟 spreadsheet shenanigans 🔢
This is a spreadsheet integration we’ve been working on! The integration automatically updates the cards’ text and dialogue. This allows our writer to make quick edits without touching the game engine, making importing assets very easy.
Now on to things that you as the player can see!
🖼️ GUI updates 🖼️
We’ve updated some of our menus and buttons. Check out our new save select screen! Each card is a different player profile and also keeps track of which personality you were assigned.
We’ve added a Journal and Quest log to help you keep track of information! This will also provide a quest overview. These quests can be as simple as retrieving an item or locating a friend, and some will be a little more complex. Solving quests will help the passengers remember their destination, and will get you one step closer to reaching the final train car!
Right now, the journal is a work in progress, so definitely let us know what you’d like to see in it in the future.
🧁 shop system 🧁
We’ve also added a shop and currency system. These yummy snacks can heal you or give you boosts during card battles.
📣 Backerkit launch 📣
The best announcement is always saved for last > Our crowdfunding pre-launch page is live RIGHT NOW! Thank you so much to BackerKit for having us as their first featured video game!💜Make sure to check us out and pre-save our page to help us get our little bug RPG to the finish line.
