HUGE UPDATE - Mechanics, Journal Entries, New Paths, and More!


Hoo boy. This is a big one. Strap in for the list of updates because there's a whole lot of 'em!

  • The entire journal has been programmed!
    • The Gods pages will now update with major changes to your relationship with each deity.
    • The Social Contacts pages will populate with major characters you meet, including a small sketch and a brief bio!
    • The Inventory system has been TOTALLY revamped, and its page in the journal reflects what you're carrying (and have used/lost)!
    • The Notes pages have in-character notes to the left page with major events summarized, and YOU can write on the right page! (The functionality for player-written notes is a WIP, but it does work for now!)
  • Three brand new paths have been added, with a robust series of choices, many branching paths, new challenges, and a ton of opportunities to bolster your relationships!
  • Six new pictures, and new additions to the gallery!
  • Tons of new music and sound effects (including additions to older scenes in the demo)!
  • And some absolutely wicked modifications to the menus (check out the gold on the options sliders! ;) )

All in all this has wrapped up all of the mechanics I needed to program for the game! From here on out I should be able to focus on the writing, music, and art. As previously mentioned, all art and music are currently placeholders, but I hope you all are enjoying the demo!

Let me know if you have any questions, find any bugs, want to voice any concerns, or just think that something was really cool! I check the comments here on itch.io, and we also have the Catalyst Discord if you're interested.

The next update should focus on a really, really hype sequence that I can't wait to script. Hope you all have a wonderful evening. Look out for more soon!
