New Build Coming Out Next Week

As much as I wanted to put the next release out today, the upcoming build is simply not ready. Along with a series of minor changes that will be detailed upon upload, I have been writing, coding and debugging multiple events to provide some nice content for the update. The update will include three clown shows featuring one of the three clowns. Watching these shows will unlock the first character quest for the clown you watched. For new players, the initial clown show when you first enter the carnival will automatically unlock the first character quest of the clown you choose after you talk to her. For old saves, you will need to watch the respective clown's show to unlock to the character quest. This was coded to avoid having to start the game over. The first character quest is also available for the three clowns. The new build will also have a special non-quest event involving Miki the goblin. This will also be the first implementation of the party system so dating events can occur, which will be pivotal for the relationship system and unlocking later character quests. I am currently drafting Miki's event now and the build should be tested and ready next week. Also, I am planning an overhaul to the options menu. While it works quite well now, I am displeased with the number of steps a player must go through to turn them on and off. I have a simplified method that works better, which I will implement, but the work needed to make that happen would delay the next release, so it will appear in the build after the upcoming one. Work is progressing slowly, but surely. I will always try to keep those watching this game up to date on developments.
