Game Update Discussion March 2019 (Patreon)

Hey all!  Just wanted to update you all on what has been happening over the past month in regards to the game.

The struggle I have been having with a working save system has been defeating me.  I can make a save system work, but it can't handle save files and such.  It can only save 1 game file and that sort of defeats the purpose of saving in a decision-based game like this.

So in my frustration I thought of a potential work around.  Instead of having Dong of Hearts be one long game, I could release "Chapters" so to say.  Each new land can be a new chapter to the story.  The issue with this is, of course, that there would be no way to have early game decisions impact anything later on in the game.  I could just forget this element however.

In the meantime, in my ongoing quest to learn and refine this game making thing, I created a little side game!  I'll be posting it for you all to play within the next few days!  This can work as an example of what a "chapter" system could be like.  Anyway, more details on this when I upload the game.  Thank you all for the ongoing support!  I apologies for being so quiet on here.  I'll be more active from now on!
