Update 5.5 initial devlog: planning and progress (Patreon)

Hey hey!

Update 5 is out and about and I've been happy to hear its feedback so far! One of the things I heard the most, however, was of course the 'why did it stop right there!'. ;)

Well, with Update 5.5 we'll fix that! I'm working hard to get it done within a month rather than two as promised, but there's still a bunch to go through. This is, after all, going to be quite sizeable (hence why it didn't come alongside 5!). Maybe too sizeable even...

At any rate, the writing is already happening at full steam and I'm doing my best to get it done ASAP so I can get everything I want to get into the update in a timely manner. :)

In the mean time, I can at least share the planning for it for those curious to see it! Just like Ludwig's day, there are a lot of branching options that can happen depending on influence decisions, so things can go many ways and I ended up having to write it all down to keep track on how to construct everything myself...

To briefly explain this mess (no spoilers! ;) ), Parts 1 and 2 of the planning are what's already in the game in Update 5. Part 3, which is what Update 5.5 covers, might end up not being as long and thorough as parts 1 and 2, but as you can see, it is certainly more complex to write and develop...

That's why it's getting a small update of its own and, hopefully, people will like the way things go! ;)

This is it for now. I'll follow up with more as soon as I have it!

I'm also aware I promised the new expression sheets and new discord emotes as well! I'm working on that and there's a thingy or two I wanna get done to make those extra nice, so in the mean time, this will have to do. Probably next week though!

As always, huge thanks to all of you for supporting Demons Within and for enjoying it so much. <3 Big thanks to all the new patrons that came with Update 5's release as well! You're all awesome! :D
