Dev Update - A Big Mess
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Hey there everyone! It's Friday, so it's time for another Spirittea update! Since we first released the demo a whole host of things have changed, so I thought I'd round some of them up for you, before showing you my favourite feature that's finally here!
In the last update I mentioned the map - thanks to lovely Granny Amelia's help this is now on the M key, something I know a lot of folks were asking about when the demo came out! Throughout the game you'll need to use the map to track down particular people to help them with their problems, so we've taken your feedback on board and made it nice and easy to get to!
Talking of speaking to people and solving their problems, the order of quests has been toyed with and changed around this week - it's important to us that you're able to find and follow the stories as you play, so alongside being able to track down who you're looking for, we also wanted to make sure we gave you all some pointers as to where to check first! On the new first day, you'll hear about the problems of two of our residents, and armed with your new map and your tea, hopefully, you'll be able to track down whichever naughty spirit is - AAAA, what're they doing there??
Right well, aside from THAT mess, we've also been making our own mess! Let me show you the inside of the bathhouse! We seem to have left it a little long since the demo and well... some spiders seem to have moved in!
We wanted the bathhouse to feel like somewhere you could work on if you wanted and another location for you to really make your own! We also noticed some of you folks in the demo spent HOURS clearing up patches of dust and dirt. So uhh, we made you some more! Surprise!
BUT that's not all the brushes are good for - introducing my new favourite feature (mostly because I am bad at organising my spirits) SCRUBBING YOUR BATH GOERS!
If like me, you dump spirits wherever you have space, it makes them unhappy, which brings you in less money. Thankfully to can cheer them up a bit by giving them a scrub with your brush, which is something I have spent FAR too long doing this week!
There are a couple of other changes balance-wise, but I'll leave them for another day. For now, look forward to some scrubbing, some cleaning and making the bathhouse really yours later this year!
