Hi everyone! We’re glad to share a new progress report!
First of all, we know that we’ve been silent for a while, and we’re sorry about that, but it’s because we’ve been doing some work behind the scenes and found a new publishing partner that will help us bring Long Gone Days to all of you! This means we’ll be able to do some exciting things we couldn’t achieve on our own.
There will be an official announcement with our new partner soon and we’ll share more details regarding what it will mean for Long Gone Days and its full release.
Rest assured that the game is in good hands (we wouldn’t have signed with a publisher if it wasn’t one we really liked and trusted) and we can’t wait to tell you about all the things we’ve been working on.
On another note, we’ve improved several things in the game, including a lot of things our players have been asking for.
Among these things, we can confirm that achievements will be available in the game along with the full release. There’s a lot of them, so we hope you enjoy unlocking them all!
One of the most asked features was to be able to compare the stats between the items you have equipped and the ones in your inventory, so we finally added that.
We also revamped the battle system. Besides having a visible battle queue, you can now see which status effects have been applied to enemies, so you can plan your next move accordingly. Oh, and we also added a lot of new art for battles!
On top of that, we polished the art of several maps, as well as some portraits, and we added some new scenes in between!
Besides that, a lot of players wanted to be able to see their character actually running when the sprint key is being pressed, so we fixed that.
And lastly, we gave each major character a different voice pitch during dialogues!
That's all for today’s update! Remember that you can follow us on:
Progress Report: Changes to the Morale System + More
Hi everyone!
Here’s a new report on what we have been working on during these past few months.
Since the beginning of the project, one of the pillars of our game has been the Morale system. Our intention with this system was to show how the events of the game affected our characters, for example how they would react to certain dialogues, how their relationship and trust would change, and how it would affect the ending of each chapter.
The way we decided how morale should work in the game never convinced us 100%. Particularly the way it was linked to the battles, where sometimes it was counterproductive to use skills, or even the benefits of having a state such as “Euphoria”. Taking these factors into account, we took the decision to make some changes that greatly improve the experience.
These changes will be released alongside the last chapter of the game, but they will affect previous chapters. Morale will no longer be used in battles, and will be replaced by Skill Points (SP). At the same time, Morale will become a feature that will only affect the game's narrative, in a bigger way than it previously had. It will also continue to be a determining factor in how Rourke and the others react to certain events in the story, and how they perform in their fight against The Core, without being an obstacle during battles.
We also wanted to show you some images of the last chapter and some more changes we have made to the UI of the game, this time featuring our battle system.
As some of you already know, during late 2021 and early 2022 we had to take a break due to mental health and burnout issues, but we are back. We hope to be more consistent with our updates from now on, and we thank you very much for your patience while we finish what's left of the game.
