DevelUpdate #046 - A New Horizon (Patreon)

Hello everyone

After the quick bugfix releases today I wanted to also update you all how things are going with Haven and Horizon. I mentioned that I would stay on a low burn in January since December was on full overtime and so far It has been pretty chill. It has been mostly spellchecks and design work. Spellchecks might be 70% done at this point.

I have had some time to work on Horizon as well and have implemented some basics into the test client. The save and metric system is up and running as this was needed to make sure Haven could hand over the data. I have finalised the design for the new time system that will be slightly different from Haven, but not as different than from Hotel. 

There will be a demo release for the Patrons at some point and I will try my best to make it save safe just like any other release. I have finished the map layout for the demo release and also finished the character selection for that version. There is still a lot of design work to do before I can start writing events as I have to fill out a lot of flowcharts, timetables, storycharts and character info to make sure I don't have to come back later and rewrite or retcon something. This will take some time as it has to be done for each character and as I hinted at in the first preview, there might be more characters in this game then in the first two. 

If everything goes as planned I should be able to start coding, writing and imagework in February. Going to be fun.

Have a lovely day
