Hey guys!

So I realized that there could have been some confusing wording in the last update, so let me explain in pretty large detail, what's happening with Beta 0.5!

====

There are NEW scenes coming to the build!

When I said that there was no 'focus', I meant that there wasn't a particular character who was receiving all of the attention in this build.  The focus is shared between Natasha, two new busts, and a scene with one of those new characters.  About the same amount of content as usual if things go according to schedule.

However, as I mentioned before, Scarlett took some time off during the holiday season due to illness and likely just to enjoy the holiday season.  She's always incredibly busy, working on way more than just ZR so if she wants time off, I believe she 100% deserves it.  Fortunately, this build works in a way where it's not imperative that each scene that's requested be finished on time.

Currently, the scene with Natasha is finished.  If the other scene is not done in time, I will likely still release the build in Jan, and publish a smaller update whenever she does finish it to include the second scene.  That way Patrons can get as much out of their pledges as possible!  There's still plenty of time though so I'll keep you guys updated on that.

== New Features ==

On top of the scenes, I've spent a lot of time refining the gameplay even more in this build.  

A feature that I'm particularly happy about is the addition of a weapon swap button.  Now, you can see which weapon you have equipped and with a single key press, you can switch.  This is MUCH more convenient than having to go back into the menu to equip a new weapon.

I've also experimented with the projectile plugin and am introducing a melee weapon and have learned how to implement other weapons too!  I think you guys will enjoy having more options as the game progresses!

And that's about everything for this update!  Thank you all for your continued support and hopefully that clarifies any potential confusion!  I know the vast majority of you guys are understanding and patient with us as we work to get the game completed so I appreciate that immensely! <3  Thank you!

Yeah same. She does work hard. We are fans of hers and yours Siren! I am 100% for that idea. After all she's not a robot she's human just like the rest of us.

P.S. wow an extra heart! Why am I getting the feeling that this boss is really hard?! -_-¡ Weapon image looks nice aswell!

For context there was a rude (former) Patron who seemed upset about 'no new content' and some other non-constructive criticisms. Just wanted to make sure my original post cleared up any confusion for everyone!

a suggestion to the climax scenes is to have a white screenout instead of a black screen because the next scene

It-was-all-me

both this game and town of passion would benefit from that small detail

Is there any chance we can key bind healing items or just a key for quick healing?

Ghostly Hale

I love that you care for Scarlett Siren. <3 She really does need to be appreciated for how hard she works. Health comes first. Tell her that. You take care as well.

ZombiesRetreat

That's a great idea! It's tough because RPG Maker doesn't have any extra buttons for me to easily use but I'll see what I can do to include that!

ZombiesRetreat

I like the idea. I've wanted to implement a special 'animation' for scenes but I'm about to experiment with revamping the scene player entirely. I'll see what I can do!

Very happy to see the addition of a weapon icon and quick swap. I'd also like to suggest adding an ammo count to the main UI so we know how much ammo is available for each weapon.

My question is: It's Zombie's Retreat still being treat like a "little" game or "little" project? Or your plans have changed? I know that Town of Passion's is your "main" `roject but after almost 400 patreons your ideas have changed

This game has the potential to be even better than Zombie's Life, not only as a Adult Game, but also as a legitimate RPG survival

ZombiesRetreat

Haha, ya it's definitely grown past the 'small side project' idea that it was initially going to be. I think, in the long run, it will still be a smaller/shorter game than Town of Passion, but I put a fairly equal amount of time into it and intend to add quite a bit more!

Ghostly Hale

In my opinion, It already is better than said game that should not be mentioned. Not Dissing the guy. Just wish it wasn't a lemon.

AriesBro

Are you ever going to make this game playable on mac?

Pillar2Post

pretty underwhelming update.
