Hey - Dev Here Do you remember the Freedom Games Publisher Sale from April? Maybe some of you have noticed that Waifu popped up on the wishlist recommendations among all the other cool games. In storytelling we like to call this "Setup and Payoff" - a subtle hint being given in the story to prepare for a much more awesome impact later on. That wishlist recommendation was the Setup and today is the Payoff: Flying Realms and Indie.io (Which, was Freedom Games during the last publisher sale - What a plot twist!) are friends now! Actually, we have been working together for a few months now and the folks at Indie.io helped a lot with the development of Waifu. We got some good reality checks on the current state of the game and a lot of in-depth insights from the many testing sessions. We can now focus more on the development, while Indie.io takes care of marketing, more testing and general quality assurance, before we drop new builds. We will also stay in contact with you. There will still be the occasional status updates here and we are still busy on the discord server to answer all your questions and read your feedback. Well... it's quite a crazy ride having a pony-tentacle game out in the wilderness. And it's great to have you all with us. And additionally to that - We also have an update for you: [list] [*] Boost and Dodge are now merged. You can use dodge anytime now and adjusted tutorials accordingly. [*] Level 03 is easier now. [*] Level 04 is more difficult to act as a proper boss fight. [*] Also adjusted the monster layout in level 04 to no longer have the monster end up in situation, where it is super difficult to destroy. [*] You do no longer need to equip specific waifus in a few levels to have the monster drop a memento slot upgrade. A high enough Dread value is enough. [*] Swapped the order of the charged shot and rapid fire tutorial. [*] Tutorial for absorbing bullets does no longer lose progression when you shoot. [*] Added a Senpai tutorial, which gives you hints and reminders after each level. This is temporary until the house gets a general overhaul in size and handling. [*] Fixed a small error, where the crosshair was always too far away. [*] Improved the behavior for the Apply and Back buttons in the options menu. [*] Black fades are a bit smoother and prevent the playfield from suddenly flashing in. [*] Fixed an error where the selected display was not kept between game starts. [*] Added an extra check for the digging mode to hopefully always stop digging eventually. [/list]
