Dead Wishes
Update: New sprites and Menus
If you have followed any of our social media or looked at past announcements, you'll know that we were planning to update Dead Wishes with new sprites. The explanation for this is rather long, so if you would like to know the details, please read THIS and THIS. It's been difficult getting through this situation, but now that AO has worked to right her mistake, I feel like we can try to keep moving on.
I try to find a silver lining in these sort of situations... so I can happily say that I took this opportunity and updated the functionality of the chapter menus so that they are easier to navigate for players. After listening to some feedback about the initial menus, I had a couple of ideas for improvement! (Let's hope that I was successful in that venture...)
This is the last SERIOUS update planned for Dead Wishes. Anything following will be simple bug fixes - there will not be any more content added to the game.
Please let me know if you have any issues with the update, and I'll do my best to get back to you with solutions.
And now... we get to focus entirely on our next projects, Candied Carols and iDOLIZED!.
PLEASE UNINSTALL, REINSTALL + BUG FIX
If you encounter an error when trying to update the game, you need to UNINSTALL and REINSTALL the game. I'll explain why below...
Players have been contacting us because when some of them updated their game about a week ago, all CGs and chapters were unlocked, despite them not having read/seen these. This is a WINDOWS ONLY bug. We attempted to troubleshoot this issue through numerous tests, one of which included uploading an entirely new depot+build combination of the game to Steam. This means that you won't be able to update the game automatically - you'll need to uninstall the game and then reinstall it. We are sorry for that inconvenience, but it was necessary in order to pinpoint the issue.
However, we got it sorted out! Unfortunately, there isn't anything we can do on our end to delete those chapters/CGs (we really tried everything!), but it is quite easy to resolve in just a few moments.
One of our players/friend of the devs helped write up an easy guide if you'd like to delete that data.
Additionally, we've begun the process of updating the 12 main character sprites. Originally, we were going to wait until all of the sprites were finished before updating the Steam build, however the current build has new Ophelia sprites. Enjoy! We'll post previews of the others on Twitter as we finish them.
If you have any questions or concerns, use our support email!
Spring Update!
Dead Wishes has been updated with all of the bonus content from our Kickstarter, including:
5 new sprite sets (side + original characters)
12 new CGS
24 new bonus chapters
The bonus CGs fill in the empty spaces in the GALLERY menu, and the bonus chapters are accessible from their respective character's MEMORIES menu. The new CGs are scattered mid-routes, so you can take your time looking for them, or simply skip through routes if you want to find them quickly.
Note: You may need to revisit the Ending 1's for characters to unlock the bonus chapters, but all you need to do (if you have already unlocked those endings) is click on them in the MEMORIES tab. If you don't want to re-read, you can skip through the quick menu.
We're really excited to bring this new content to you and hope you enjoy!
We're Live!
If you have already bought the game on itch.io, you do not have to purchase the game again. We are waiting on a key request from Steam, which should be completed in the next few days. All you have to do is go to your purchase page on itch.io and claim your Steam key when it becomes available.
