We have introduced a huge update to our game, which includes: - new character design: Jack, Natalie, and Hope, who will also appear in parts two and three! (more on that later), - A new menu and UI which introduces several new features to the game, - All language improvements in English and French.
We moved the entire game from the Fungus tool to Naninovel. This allowed us to add many new functions to the game.
However, there was one issue we wanted to inform you about. All your current game saves will be deleted. We are very sorry for that.
Let's start with the characters, below is a comparison with the new (right) and old design
Our characters appear in several emotional states: suspicious, angry, happy, neutral, sad, scared, shocked. For the graphics, we used single emotions, so the rest awaits you in the game!
This is how the characters look in the game:
The screenshot also shows off the new UI, which has several new features.
LOG - allows you to read all spoken dialog, choices made, or narration. It is, in other words, the history of the textual content (as seen below).
Other useful features include - auto/skip mode - which will automatically scroll the text (speed can be adjusted in options).
Using q.save and quick loads you will be able to quickly save and load the game without having to enter the save menu.
We have also introduced a forward and backward text scrolling feature using the wheel on your mouse,
Regarding proofreading, thanks to the amazing help of one of the players, Yoann, our English, and French game is completely bug-free. The whole Titanite Games team (and surely a lot of players!) are very grateful for this help. Thank you!
One last piece of information for you. The release of Part: 2 will officially take place after the Steam Festival, so in March 2022! We also officially want to let you know about Part: 3, which will be released two weeks after Part: 2! We are currently in the final stages of production.
Both parts (+ part 1) will also be released on Nintendo Switch at the same time! That's why the release of Part: 2 was postponed, because the game required a port to Nintendo Switch, and also we had to set all the release details with NS.
Over several years, we have learned to work efficiently and effectively. However, a man learns all his life, and today we would like to share with you a lesson without which today's work process would be going in a completely different (wrong) direction.
What matters when working on any project is communication, which can sometimes be difficult. Therefore, the circulation of information is very important. What to do then? Read how the beginnings of Perseverance: Part 1 looked like.
Going back a few years - the initial vision for the game changed after six weeks of development. The first Vision Doc described a game that was ‘super-indie’. With time, many ideas came up about the game’s presentation and the amount of detail that needed to be included. We agreed on reaching a certain level of quality. But somewhere along the way, we forgot to make sure that all the artists work within the same framework. This made backgrounds and characters being imported into the project in many resolutions and sizes. Not to mention files were named in both Polish and English which made navigation around the project a hassle. Having a Technical Document with all the resolutions and sizes described straight from the beginning would save us a lot of time and errors late in the development. Moreover, such a document is a good way to introduce new people joining the team to the workflow and rules of the project. Of course, questions may always arise but Tech Doc keeps them to a minimum, and when they do arise, most of the time they are very important.
Lesson learned: always create a Technical Document, even for small projects.

That's all for today - we just wanted to share this lesson with you :)

Today we're going to tell you a little bit of the story behind the creation of Perseverance.
Initially, the game's structure was supposed to be simple: a static story cutscene followed by a playable hidden object scene, followed by another static story cutscene, and so on.
The challenge was to design the game and the story in such a way that we could 're-use' each hidden object scene at least twice. The initial story had to be reshaped. Reasons for the main character to perform hidden object tasks needed to be invented. That was a lot of work.
The first gameplay mechanics appeared. There was a huge contrast between a fast-paced story and slow-paced hidden object mechanics. We wanted the game to have a good pace, one that would engage the player.
Over time we began to see it more as a unique visual novel than the hidden objects game.
We sat down with one of our writers, and we chopped the story into five arcs. This way the number of characters and plot details that needed to be included in a single arc became countable. We began to see the full scope of a single arc, and we decided to deliver the story in episodes.

Visual novels gameplay mechanics were easy and allowed us to focus on making the story deeper and more personal. The initial story was more about zombies and action. We managed the development of was more about the characters, their relations, and inner struggles. It was mainly thanks to my writing sidekick, Basia. She was very engaged from day one and added a lot of value to the main story. She also aided us in making the characters more believable and likable.
Actual Bob's Gas Station from Perseverance: Part 1
We believe that failing to deliver a big game is easier than actually delivering a small one. That is why Perseverance is an episodic adventure. We are very satisfied with what we managed to achieve as a team and that Perseverance: Part 1 is worth the time to enjoy it.

We created a game that conveys a message and lays a good foundation for future episodes.
That's all for today :)
