Most holidays are based on such basic things in life that I think they'd be celebrated in F&H world too by default. Like Halloween is so close to harvest season ending, so I'm sure F&H would have its version of halloween too.

Hard to say. If you're itching for the game, go for it now. But if you got other stuff at hand, maybe you can try to hold off for a moment? I think the worst release for the update is while someone is in the middle of a playthrough. Things should work alright, but it might add some confusion.

Thanks for the nice words. Hopefully the update lives up to expectations. I think there are few new somewhat creative ideas for horror gaming. Excited to hear how that stuff will be received.

Not familiar with that.

Maybe a couple hundred years after Termina? Who knows.

At times I wish I just moved on from Termina way earlier, but "regret" is a bit too strong of a word for it. With each new addition, I felt the game just got that much more interesting and fun. And it's been interesting remixing and building on top of an already existing game.

They're more like cutscenes. Would be cool to get to explore those places, but alas this is how it is.

Although her new characterization isn't THAT far off from the original. Even the name "Heartless One" is still used in a roundabout way.

Happy Paintings @happypaintings.bsky.social · 9d

From old stuff? Probably Heartless one. Got a slight update to her looks, new name and a lot of new lore. Her design first changed more, but I dialed it back closer to her original design because of reasons, one being I don't want fan art and cosplays of the character become unrecognizable.

I imagine redesigns being a bit polarizing. There are a couple of other old designs that got tweaked as well. There have been a handful of little things that bothered me to this day, so throughout the development of the update, I've given some things minor facelifts.

Happy Paintings @happypaintings.bsky.social · 9d

Some aspects yeah (the pursuing thing) but otherwise they can be found in other difficulties too.

Gull Bros redesign now that they are actual characters in the game.

I think Vinushka also got a fair amount of spells. I'll add more spells if good ones come up. I don't want to add more just for the sake of more. I'd rather have spells be more unique.

The whole gameplay balance has changed significantly. overtime dmg did get different variety of nerfs. Some are just number changes, some more involved drawbacks.

11

Happy Paintings @happypaintings.bsky.social · 9d

No I didn't license that stuff. I don't mind someone put them there, but it's weird to see it written like that.

Over time people's basic needs are met, so they don't need to worship primal elements in hopes of good harvest, reproduction etc.

Anyone whose telling them what they want to hear is better suited for that worship. Now are they cat girls? I don't know.

Happy Paintings @happypaintings.bsky.social · 9d

yeah its function has changed a bit. it's "fixed" as in it has purpose now.

8

Happy Paintings @happypaintings.bsky.social · 9d

yeah sure. You're free to choose which iteration.

1 11

Happy Paintings @happypaintings.bsky.social · 16d

It works the other way around too. Not just limiting how much time I spend working, but sometimes when you're not super motivated, forcing yourself to sit down for at least 8 hours a day keeps things moving forward even when you wouldn't feel like it.

26

Happy Paintings @happypaintings.bsky.social · 16d

yeah it's alright. I keep my game development within office hours confines. It's the kind of work where you always have loose ends and years long to-do list, so I think it's better to keep things work-like for some resemblance of sanity and balanced life.

A feature/10

Happy Paintings @happypaintings.bsky.social · 17d

In theory yeah, but I don't really have any spare time to take on other projects. The fact that Termina update is lacking so much behind is plenty of evidence of that already.

All donations to nature are greatly appreciated if you're having too much money burning your pockets.

I aligned them in the troop editor. It's not the easiest thing to do, but it is what it is.

Happy Paintings @happypaintings.bsky.social · 22d

but yeah obviously in business-sense it's a weird move. Maybe I'll get a bit of good will out of it that gets cashed in immediately because some people will hate some of the new stuff. No one likes change and new.
