Heileen 3 release history

[MarSel]

It's the 9th ready and waiting to start beta testing!

[jack1974]

I sent an early beta to the writer and some close friends/supporters and thank God I did that! there were some huge bugs (you could unlock the ending just clicking on the portraits in the gallery ).
I'm fixing some stuff, also there's a problem with the endings, and I would need some input on this: right now you have about 10 scenes with each character in which you can raise the relationship. Some scenes allow raising relationship with other love interests. Example a scene with Morgan has two choices, and one of them raises John/Jonathan/Sebastian romance too.
Now the problem is that at end of the game you need relationship >=90 to get the romance, otherwise you fail - but the scenes are played in sequence, rotating all the love interests, in a interval of 10-12 days each. Let's say you manage to reach relationship 85 with the various choices, if you have played all the scenes except the last one, you will always fail.
There are some special events in the game that increase your relationship, every X days you can invite someone at the tavern and get a small increase. So in theory if you always invite your love interests, you should make more than 90 relationship.
So I'm wondering if I should just allow until the end of the story to raise relationship 90? it might be too easy that way, but still don't want to piss off players (it's a dating sim, so shouldn't be too hard).
Maybe I'll keep the old system only in the Normal/Hard level.
Will upload the beta in a few hours so people can play and tell me if is too hard even at Normal level.

I think it's a good idea to keep it for the normal/hard level and leave the "easy" way you mentioned on the easy level but the only way to see is to play and I can't wait to get my hands on this!
So excited!
I got the extra content and must say the song was lovely and so goes with how the game plays in my head.
Of course there is easy and too easy so I will let you know what I think because I don't have much time to play games as much as I like I always play the easy level so I can enjoy myself and not take too much time out of my busy life.

Glad you liked the tracks, will tell the musician about it
Also depends if you're only interested in the romances or the profession endings. The romances should be fairly easy even playing in Normal mode. The professions instead might take more effort, but still be achievable with some strategy. I'm uploading the game now, but of course the fast connection decided that was a good moment to stop working, so will take a while (the old one is 10 times slower ).

As with all games I play romance comes first profession comes second Got some things to do so may not be able to have a go until later in the week now but I will as soon as I can.

Added the download link on the page now: http://www.winterwolves.com/download.ph ... 71-all.zip
Is a .zip containing the Windows/Mac/Linux versions, once the game is officially out will make separate installers

How do I install the game using the zip file? There are no installers inside the zip file?

[jack1974]

No, you just run the executable for your OS. You should see an icon next to the name, just double click and should work. Of course once the game is final I will have a proper installer

Quick question: If I want to buy the deluxe/premium version with the extra content, will it still be available after the pre-order stage? I may be very tempted... SO tempted that I don't want to buy it right now, since I have finals next week! *grin*

[jack1974]

Yes it's not a time limited offer, no worries
