Demons Within: Update 4 initial devlog (Patreon)

Hey folk!

Here we are again! Did you all get to play Update 3 yet? Did you enjoy it? I hope you did! I got a lot of good feedback and that makes me beyond happy! :D 

Some chill time with the unit and self-reflection was good for Resnick, but now it's time to get a move on and start figuring things out. Or trying to!

As you all might know by now, Update 4 will cover spending a spare day with Ludwig. Ludwig's side coming first is entirely you guys' fault. ;) Choosing Edwin was not available yet in the last build and, while choosing none of them was technically available, Update 4, for now, will probably follow through as if Ludwig was chosen. Edwin's side of this part of the story will happen simultaneously, which means that yes, in a regular playthrough, you will choose one of the two. After we're done with Ludwig's day, we'll move on in development to Edwin's day and then continue onwards after both sides are done.

For those that wanted Edwin, I say again, just have some patience! Our tiger's side of things will come as well, just a tadbit later!

As of right now, I have the events of Ludwig's day planned out and am just beginning to write them. I've already talked with Blain and some new assets involving Ludwig are in production, which I'll be able to share very soon as well!

Alongside Ludwig's day, I have some other improvements to the game planned to hopefully include in Update 4. That includes:

• An option to disable some of the game's animation that, it has come to my attention, can create severe lag or crashes in the Android version of the game
• Some interface updates and improvements to make the game look more in-theme and add to its look-and-feel
• The memory gallery!

The memory gallery is a topic in itself! To those that don't know, I have had a gallery of some sorts where you can review Resnick's memories and other things planned for a while. I think that's an important part of a game like this. That being said, this is a big feature and this is already looking like it might be a big update story-wise as well. I plan on getting started with the memory gallery, but if by any chance I end up not being able to add all of its features in one go, I'll add as much as I can and continue in Update 5 so as to not delay Update 4's release by too long.

For now, I think that's enough. As you can see, there's a lot planned for Update 4! I'll keep you guys updated on the progress as usual as well as we go and... onwards to making Demons Within even more awesome! \o/ 

As always, thank you all for your continuous support!!
