Chapter 8 Enters Rough Completion (Patreon)

It's a day early but Chapter 8 has entered a state of rough completion. This means that it is fully playable, but not feature complete. So all of the main story moments work and have voice acting, the Flower Head enemies are present and can be fought, Witch is a functioning party member and the Treant boss can be defeated.

As you'll likely notice from the pictures above several aspects of the game are currently being worked on at once. Text boxes now come equipped with several quality of life features such as a fast forward button to skip past dialogue you may have seen before, as well as a hide button to disable text boxes and just admire the artwork. The battle screen is also changed as I'm currently working on a major shift for that. I've also left out screenshots of the main menu since it's HEAVILY in a WIP state right now.

Tomorrow I will likely clean this chapter up a bit more, make sure the lewd sequences are fully functional and have their voice lines added in. And then we'll be moving into Chapter 9 for June. I also expect to begin completing some of the new menus and further working on the battle system behind the scenes. As we're nearing Chapter 10 too, you should expect to see the finalized design of the Tinman before his chapter focus in July.

I'll most likely post a more in-depth devlog to itchio in the first week of June covering what's gone on with Chapter 8 as well as breaking down some of the changes and tweaks that are currently being worked on. Please look forward to that!
