Bi-Weekly Update #12: How Much is Too Much?

We've been busting our butts over the last couple of weeks! Mostly we're finishing up scenario revisions for the opening sections of the game.

One of the big questions we run into as we're writing is: How much does the player actually need to know?

(Biased) More game devs should commission large oil and egg tempera paintings that take over a year to finish.

Today's update will be about one of the design pillars of Rising Hearts. We've already talked about one of them: The Haunted Mansion rule (No matter where you are, you can stop and explore a Haunted Mansion).

Weekly Update #6:

Happy New Year, Everyone! How's your first week of 2025 been treating you? Hope better than ours, because we've been sick.

Mostly, though, we've been tightening up some aspects of Rising Hearts' UI and refining the plot, lore, and characters.

Weekly Update #5:

Sorry for missing last week's update! There were personal complications.

Anyway, there isn't much to say about this week. We've been hard at work laying the foundations for new features: more complicated sprite animations, as well as an Achievement system, and much, much more!
