First Fantasies 1.08 ALPHA (Patreon)

Thank you for your feedback from the tests. I’m sharing the ALPHA of version 1.08 with you.

As expected, I wasn’t able to hook up all the quests I had planned, but the overall structure of this version is now in place. What remains is mainly integrating NPCs and their content so that Under Haven can finally be fully reworked.

Those who participated in the tests may not notice many major changes beyond various fixes. I’m hoping you’ll better appreciate the full impact of the rework and the animations once the BETA is released.

I’m currently aiming for the game’s anniversary—May 13th, if I’m not mistaken—and I’ll have some time off to make solid progress on it.

Changelog

Partially reworked game introduction, now enhanced with animated sequences (more additions planned for the BETA)

Complete overhaul of the first game area, Under Haven, including animated environments

Added animated sprites for Tiffa, Cid, Bullet, Jessy, and Tanaka

Added Claude, Tiffa’s boyfriend, allowing you to test party member features:

Companion presence during dialogues and combat

Additional interactions at higher affinity levels

Added the quests “Lurking in the Darkness,” “Slums Life,” and “The Missing Man”

More quests are planned for the BETA, especially involving party members and their unlocks

Added an early version of the combat system (still very basic for now)

The fight against Tanaka will be reworked for the BETA

Added an outfit system

Tiffa’s first alternate outfit can be unlocked after defeating Tanaka

Added the “glove” system (press G) to highlight interactive elements

Special thanks to HIZAEL for the idea

It’s not fully implemented everywhere yet, but I’ll refine it based on your feedback

I hope you enjoy the rest in the BETA!
