\"hotbath\"<\/a>
\nThe twins Shea & Althea relaxing with a hot bath in Seasons Of The Wolf<\/em><\/p>\n

I admit I’d like to be there with Shea & Althea right now. Here outside is freezing, and I really could use a hot bath to relax after one of the most stressful week of my life \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Was stressful partly because of the Steam release and also for other personal issues. In practice I had several small things\/problems, not big if taken each one singularly, but that coming all together at same time made me go nuts \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Anyway, all seems fine now, so today was able to resume working on Roommates and SOTW! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

About the feedback I got on Loren gameplay, getting your game in front of a huge audience like Steam showed some weak spots in the rules design. I probably underestimated how good are RPG players, or maybe (ahem) I am not much good myself anymore.<\/p>\n

Either way, I really think was a good idea to include a fourth difficulty level in the upcoming RPGs Planet Stronghold 2 and SOTW (the Nightmare level!) so that should be a good challenge for every kind of RPG player, even the most experienced who play the game for hours, grinding and finding all possible rule-exploits \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

SOTW and Roommates quick update<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am currently scripting scene 10 out of 27 of SOTW, but that doesn’t mean that I fully coded 10 scenes: I am first scripting all the music and artwork, so then I have the game fully working as a “plain visual novel” and I can add all the battles in a second time, once even the side-quests are finished, since I’ll need to play those as well to get a proper idea if the difficulty is balanced or not, if the loot is powerful enough, and so on.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Roommates’ writer is doing some final polish, testing the scheduler and adding more “one-liners” sentences. This week delayed a bit everything, but I still think the game could begin beta and pre-orders at end of this month! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
