Happy Halloween and big announcement!

Happy Halloween everyone! 

Not sure if you celebrate it or not but I do and I love the decorations and of course handing out candy and seeing all the great costumes!

We have a family member in from Italy this week and she came solely to see how we celebrate Halloween here in the US. I never thought about it, but in Italy they barely celebrate it at all, which is a shame since she really likes it. We had a Halloween/Graduation party for her back on Sunday and almost everyone was dressed in a costume. I was going to wear my Indiana Jones get up, but I still need a to lose a few pounds before the shirt fits again so I just wore a Haunted Mansion shirt by RSVLTS. She was Wednesday adams and she had a blast!

Now for your treat!

I know I said that the episode one revision along with episode two would be completed mid October, but I just couldn't meet the date and I'm sorry for that. Between the family visit, work, kids school and my 101 year old great grandmothers death I was pretty much mentally exhausted. I was able to buckle down the last week and you know what? I got it done!  So you can now download the latest version that includes episode 1 and 2. There was a bit of a major structural change, so your saved games most likely wont work, I'm sorry about that but it needed to be done.  You'll have to just start a new game. 

While episode 1 is mostly unchanged other than some dialog, grammar and spelling fixes, episode two introduces some nifty new things I learned.

- There are a couple of sound effects and the play while the music does. 

-I added a bit of video

-a minor special effect

-stuff I know I did but don't remember.

I also have started to just straight up code the game in Visual Studio and only use Ren Py Maker to lay out the structure. All the pictures, scenes, sounds, music and video was added manually in Visual Studio, which I'm pretty proud of. I've also wanted to add dialog but can't afford voice actors, so look for a pole on whether you think it would be ok for me to have AI voice it. Personally, I want real actors, but they don't come cheap. 

That's all the good news, now for some mediocre news. Next week I'll be on vacation and probably won't get much done. Episode 3 is about 30 percent written, I may have some time to finish that, but otherwise I won't be doing any coding. That kind of goes for the next two months as well. With the holidays coming up, even with having time of work, I don't think I will get a new version with episode 3 out till late January or early February. That may change and it may be sooner, but I don't want to make any promises.

Thank you so much for your support and for playing. Since these updates may become more sporadic I'll say that I hope all of you have a great end to the year and enjoy the update!
