larkin 6.9.23

hello all and happy update day <3 been a minute since i've posted a progress update/dev-log so let's go through everything that's new with this update + what i've been working on in the time i've been gone!

first off, let's discuss the new stuff. you can play the update here. it's about 10k words long, with around 2k of player interaction per play through. in it you get to spend a lot of time with nash, play some cards and find out either more about him or yourself! after that, talk to some townies and maybe play some cards >:) aside from content, I've done some major bug fixes that I'll drop at the bottom of this update. For the moment stats are still under construction with some of the other top-bar menu items.

okie-dokie that out of the way let's talk a lot about what else I've been doing throughout the months of april/may. for the most part honestly I've been focusing on patreon work. I put together physical rewards with the help of @fiddles-ifs and bree gilliam that'll be shipping out to patrons $5 and above come july 1st—with that i've made stickers and postcards that i'm so excited to send out. after that I did alot of like marketing stuff and expanding! i've been working a lot with my new assistant phillip on putting together materials for other social media sites and producing content for patreon. speaking of which tomorrow comes the next part of the wyatt series i'm dropping on there tomorrow!

writing wise, i've been focusing primarily on two things. alpha revising and planning. come july i'm hoping to launch a completely new version of the game on patreon, calling that the 'alpha' version of the game—this is a more final version of the product—meanwhile, I'll be continuously updating the public / draft version for you all to play. the next update is coming really close to the end of the demo!!! I'm so excited for us to finally get there =0

the next public update will be coming at you friday, july 21st!

happy vampire hunting!
