Zeal, one of the many new characters you’ll encounter in the expansion
\n<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

This week was really a tough week!<\/p>\n

First of all because I was literally burning in my office. 29\u00b0C for most of the day, even turning the A\/C on the whole afternoon. Of course, it happened right when I decided to announce on Twitter\/Facebook that the beta testing stage of Loren’s expansion, The Castle Of N’Mar, was starting!<\/p>\n

A tough week for those who played the beta and had to fight against lots of bugs. It was entirely my fault, since I decided to use the latest Ren’Py version to do the expansion beta, while I should have waited a bit more.<\/p>\n

Now anyone familiar with coding knows well that using the latest version of any development tool is NOT a good idea, since it might still contain bugs… but I ignored that simple rule and the result was people having all sort of weird stuff happening (random crashes, variables not stored, load\/save problems, etc).<\/p>\n

So today in the latest beta version (1.1k) I decided to revert back to the previous Ren’Py version which hopefully should solve some of the bugs left. You can get the download links and latest info in my forums:<\/p>\n

Again this has nothing to do with Ren’Py which is still an awesome tool (my favorite) but to my silly idea of trying it so early.<\/p>\n

My goal is to try finishing the beta testing by the end of the month. If you preordered the expansion but were waiting to see until was more stable, I think now should be a good moment to play since the amount of bugs left is really not big… you know every time I write such sentences\u00a0 I’m a bit scared, but oh well \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Other short news: Spirited Heart 2 writing is going at very good pace, I got a new writer that’s going to review\/fix\/edit Nicole’s script, Roommates is going to be the biggest game I’ve ever made (80k words and it’s not even at 1\/3 of the plot), Heileen 3 will be done first in Ren’Py and maybe later in Monkeycoder (this will require a new blog post to explain, maybe next week) so it should be out this October.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
