The early demo for Tumblr is live!
You can play it here! Thank you so much for following this blog (and for being patient while I wrestled with dashingdon to get it uploaded! ^_^'). I hope you enjoy the game! 🧡
Notable additions this demo:
Chapter 7 Part 2 is complete 🎉 Attend the festival with the date (or friend) of your choice. There will be food! Romance! Probably some weird crap happening at some point! 😆
Some changes to Wren's character.
Choose the style of MC's quarters at the Den in chapter 3!
Choose MC's parent's gender in chapter 3, and get a little more backstory on MC's family situation.
Achievements have been added to the game!🏅
Enter your own pronouns in chapter 1, if the default options aren't your preference.
Change your pronouns from the stats screen anytime throughout the game.
Jewelry choice addition (by request) to Chapter 7 Part 1 in preparation for MC's trip to the festival. 💎
Consolidation of the stats screen (by request). There are now two stats pages instead of three: one for personality and relationships, and the other for MC's skills.
Thank you so much for playing!❣️ This will be the last demo for Leas: City of the Sun until the game is published, but there will still be plenty of content on this blog! Everything you can expect is below:
What happens now, if this is the last demo?
Good news on that front! You can still expect demos, just not for the first game. I've been working on the Fey minigame and will be posting demos of that as I work on the final chapters of Leas: City of the Sun. There will be previews of other things as well in the upcoming months, but that's all I'll say, since I don't want to spoil anything for now 👀 🤫
Will this blog still update?
Yes, absolutely! You can expect business as usual: weekly writing updates, preview snippets on Sundays, answers to your asks, and news on when chapters have been completed. It'll be easy for you to track progress and know how close the game is to completion.
When will the game be complete?
My original goal was to have it submitted by the end of 2023. I'm still shooting for that, but there's a decent chance it'll take a bit longer depending on my life circumstances. I'll keep everyone informed on chapter-by-chapter progress here, so you'll always have a good idea of how things are going.
Will there be any major changes to the existing demo between now and the game's launch?
Probably not. With this demo I feel like I really ironed out everything. I've got the right elements in place to set up the final chapters and future story plots, and the character voices feel solid. So while there may be minor changes to wording here and there, the core of the story should remain the same 🙂
