Halloween post! Looks like it's still alive!

Hey! It’s been a while.

I know it feels dumb to start off by saying this but hey, for more than half a year you saw me go completely inactive and silent, so first, I’ll say that I am sorry. I should’ve at least made a post about my situation and about the complete hold of development. I’ll go quick because it hurts a bit, but the person I started this project with isn’t associated with me anymore. I don’t know if they are gonna come back (I hope they do eventually) but something happened that made them want to no longer be affiliated with me. Because of that, I didn’t want to work on the project, feeling as if it wouldn’t be the same, and that everything was futile.

As per this, the game’s name is now indefinitely changed to “A Night At Her Place”, the character's name will still be “Stina” by default, but the title change comes with the possibility to change the character’s name.

But hey! I am here now, and I still enjoy this project a lot, as broken and bad as it might be. And because of that, development is going to continue! How great is that for a Halloween post? The big secret? It started a while ago! Yes, even though I didn’t work on this project for a long time, I kept coming back to it from time to time, for the possibility of another update. And an update is what you’ll have!

Here is what is planned so far…

It's now possible to access the bunker from "ending"11 early!  And will lead to a completely different path, just like the other endings! Clarifications should be made here but for those who haven't tried getting all achievements in the game, there are 2 real endings and 9 "end of sections" which means paths that aren't finished. With the addition of this path, you will get 10 end-of-sections!

More on that, each path (when finished) will have at least two endings each, different paths leading to completely different stories for the protagonist to get involved!  So that's at least 20 planned endings with the 2 already complete ones !

Now, of course, this is just what is planned, but will the update have it all? No of course not, I don't work this hard sadly. But this new path will be accessible, though not finished like the other ones, however, one of the 10 paths is gonna be fully made and playable! I won't say which but it's the first in the list.

Plans for an easy mode have also been thought, and though I am not sure to add it (makes the game even more incomprehensible than it already was), it is ready and could be added. Here is you! You would appear when making the choice for easy mode.

But now the big event, as you know I have been using bad AI art to make this game look like something, but with the finalization of the new path, I wanted to at least change one thing... And so, I am proud to announce that Stina is getting a full sprite drawn by an artist! The artist's name is Teal and he decided to help me with Stina to get her working sprites (that aren't just AI silhouettes).

Here is the first sketch he made, which still resembles the AI model but with the added style of Teal. It looked interesting but he knew he could do better.

This was the second sketch and you can see the change, more shape, more height, and changes such as the hair to make it more original.

He tweaked the hairstyle more until he got something we liked and then...

Tada! Here is the Stina you'll get the chance to see in the next update! Not all of the sprites are finished however, and I insist on releasing the update with the sprite fully done so you all see Stina in all her glory! 

So when is gonna be the next update? I don't know, but be sure it's coming, and with a lot of things too as you have seen! As soon as I get all the sprites, it's just a matter of adding them to the game. Thanks again to Teal for the sprites, I can't thank him enough. On that note see you on the next post, announcing news or the release of the update!
