Status Report October 2024


Hey ! That's another status report ! So what happened with the game ?

Let's start by the most important one :

Not in October -_-
Well... I tried. Hovewer it's slowly (but surely) becoming obvious that finishing the game for this October will be impossible. There's simply too much stuff to do. So... let's aim for a november release now  ? >)

What was done since the last update ?

- Diaole Mini-game :
        I changed lots of little things around this mini-game. She moves automatically and the player have click the screen when she is as low as possible. This'll gives some points and reduce the white gauge on the top-left that keeps increasing faster and faster.  The goal is basically to resist as long as possible even if there's obviously a point where it'll become impossible. At its core, the concept is simple... too simple. I have some ideas to make this more interesting, but those are ideas that would GREATLY increasing the development time. So for now, I'll leave it as is and will maybe go back to it after release.


- The Events :
        I honestly can't believe there was a time when I planned to animate all the events. Even as static images, those are what take most of my time. I decided to do at least 8 events with 4 to 5 images each so... wow... that's a lot to draw ! >)
The good thing is that it's almost done. However, still have to finalize the dialogs and update the code to adjust the text position as it can hide some interesting part of the images. Worst case scenario, the gallery is still a thing.


      

- Gallery :
      Well... when the gallery is finished of course...

 

- Achievements :
    Obviously, with a new mini-game added, more achievements had to be done. More importantly, I want to be sure they work correctly this time to avoid the nasty bug I had with Kuraksa's Room at launch.

   


- Also :

I did various stuff such as :

  • Other random events and secrets
  • The Nightmares
  • Polishing the code (a lot !)

What's next ?

  • There still some nightmares left to do.
  • I STILL have to do the ending.
  • A particular easter egg I would like to add.

So yeah... sadly not in October. Let's hope for a november date. But, like always, it'll be released... when it's done >)
That being said...

Happy to see you are making art with this!

Waiting for you~

I confess that I was sad but because I'm looking forward to the game's release. But I understand perfectly, even more so that you are doing everything alone, and I admire all your efforts. And really with each update you show, I'm absolutely sure of the quality this game will be. Keep up the good work KandomRyller :D

Even if it's not releasing in October, I'm sure Purification Process will bring Halloween to any month it releases.

So waiting on the when it's done state.
Thank you for your hard work!
