Dev Q&A — Getting back, answering some questions and giving you the middle finger! <.< (Patreon)

We are back!

After a week of rest with Viv, Mark, Alex and a few other friends — playing boardgames, eating good food (don't eat asparagus, it tastes like soap), pool trips and new rings on fingers — we are back at work!

(Yes, a lot has happened, chaos ensued <.<)

Now, before heading into the devlog itself: this may contain spoilers for those who still haven't played 0.92 — or even for future content. But let's go!

Answering some questions

(Ahhh Viv... Always giving me extra work :P)

We've been getting some great questions from you all lately, (specially since Viv made that QnA) so I thought it would be fun to answer a few of those in a devlog.

Let's get into it!

"Will the game be translated into other languages? Can I help translate it?"

Ah-HA! As you can see, it is already translated!... Kinda... (it's not)

I just found out, thanks to Luiz on Discord, that there are tools that make automated translations of Ren'Py games, so he was already playing it in Portuguese the cheeky bastard. But we're not going that way — we want the game to be translated by people who understand both English and the language it's being translated into.

We can't deny this is one of the most talked-about topics, we're already studying the best way to do it — with real quality, and in a way that allows us to expand or adjust things if we ever decide to change or improve older content down the line.

For now, Alex has been experimenting with a Portuguese translation and has been doing a good job with it. Once we feel more confident in the process, we'll start working on other languages — and there, all the help is more than welcome! So stay tuned ;)

"Is there an ending planned? Does the game have a full roadmap?"

Yes! As you can see in this one, you get killed by a crying man. Because there's nothing more manly than holding a dagger while crying to kill you! (wait, is this a thing in the game?....... Maybe — hey, I did warn about possible spoilers!)

There are already many endings in the game and— ahh.... right... I think the question is about a final ending... good question.

The game's structure is currently divided into 3 seasons, with Season 1 still taking a few more months to be completed. And after that? Season 2 at the beach!

Who wants to see Harry naked!? I mean… without a shirt? Or maybe naked indeed!

I mean — there is still a LOT of TrueClash on its way. Yeah — some parts bigger than others :3

As for a final ending ? Not yet - possible will turn out into multiple ones.

"Could new routes or paths be added to earlier chapters later on — completely new stories that aren't there yet because of time or resources?"

Yes! There are some routes that would be really interesting to explore. Like allying yourself with Adrian and watching the chaos unfold. I can also expand an NPC or storyline if it's well liked — as long as I genuinely enjoy writing it. I don't want to force myself to write something I wouldn't love, because that always shows in the final result.

"How many datable guys are planned?"

Just Adrian. I mean, who else? Lissandra? Could be.

But I know people want more choices, so that Adrian stands out even more. So here it goes.

It depends on what you mean by "datable"! I guess a safe answer is 8, for now… I mean, someone could die, others may never join the team again, or maybe a fighter will push the others away. Ahhh — doesn't that happen often? :D (Matty Matt)

Ohh right… I need to keep this serious and let the chaotic energy belong to Vi alone. It's just hard to contain the excitement after a full week of rest <.

So yes! 8 — that's the magic number for now, as long as they remain alive 🙂

"How many of the characters we haven't seen yet are finished, or almost finished?"

Hard to answer, because honestly, I only consider a character truly finished after all changes have been made.

So, we could say we have the base of 4 more characters ready. But the details? The ones that make all the difference — clothes, hair, expressions, facial adjustments, small things like pores, facial hair, etc. — those aren't there yet.

The closest one is actually Ace, but even he has gone through changes in recent weeks: body, face, style, and even his hair, to better match him and the energy he carries. For a long time I kept looking at him thinking "meh… this is not it," but with the latest changes, I feel more and more confident and happy with him and the vibe he gives off.

So yeah, maybe Ace is the only one truly finished for now... Or close to it. And you know what!?

I've been getting some messages asking how he looks like and all that so yes. Here it goes.

A motherfucker preview of him right now.

Now don't go cry if he changes a lot until his release or I will make him show you the middle finger more often to you <.<

That's it for now! Thank you so much for all the questions and support — keep them coming, I love answering these. See you in the next update!
