Yeah, after being about three to four weeks behind schedule with it, story two has finally been released. It is the prequel to the first story, which follows what happens to Dr. Stansfield, Marsch’s uncle, and how he ended up leaving the lab. Well, depending on what path you take.
The sale for the game is still on at Steam and Itch.io if you want to pick it up at 20% off.
The release also addresses some issues with the functionality of the game as well as updates the engine. Here is the usual changelog:
Added: new logging system
Added: story 2 module
Changed: image compression for (slightly) faster loading
Fixed: 'Story Stats' showing 0% instead of actual stat
Fixed: missing animations
Fixed: music toggling input key
Fixed: sound toggling not working properly
Server Downtime
Hey there! Things happened faster than we expected and we will be experiencing server downtime for about an hour tonight. We apologize for any crashes that may occur or lost data on our servers! It should be back in action around midnight (CST). API systems will be the first thing
Server Updates And Stuff
Well, birthdays are over for another year and a new nephew is born so it’s time to get back to work!
One of our first points of order is changing our server hosts. This will possibly cause a small hiccup in our API system in all of our games which may result in some stats not being backed up correctly. However, this does not affect Steam’s copy of the stats and those should sync sometime afterward. If any horrendous issues arise, please let us know! We expect the server swap to happen sometime around Thursday or Friday.
Raise Your Own Clone story two has been a bit delayed due to some real life stuff and we apologize but that comes first! However, we should be putting out story two very soon (like this week soon), though we’d prefer to stay away from hard dates so we don’t miss them. But be ready!
Raise Your Own Clone - Story One - Mac Release
Yep, thanks to ol' thisismike we are now releasing Raise Your Own Clone's first story on Mac today. Mac users can now follow the path of Marsch as he (possibly) ruins his inheritance of his uncle's cloning lab.
If anyone finds any issues with the Mac build, please let us know!
Also, story two should be out in the second half of October which follows the rise and fall of Dr. Stansfield himself. It offers the same madlib-ability as story one and carries over some information from your playthrough.
More to come in early October!
Raise Your Own Clone - Version 1.0.1 Update
Hey there. So story 1 has received an update to address some issues people found with the release version of the game. And, since we had to push back the release date we decided to throw in a little surprise as well. More about that later, here is the change log:
Added: sliders to music and sound for volume adjustment
Added: sliders for page and text color
Added: more condition sounds
Added: inventory icons and hover-overs from previous version
Added: additional button press sound
Changed: update save file when exiting options section
Changed: journal acquisition to correct position
Fixed: weird double-comma issue in statistics
Fixed: various spells, grammar, and spacing errors
Fixed: sound/music levels not loading properly from save file
Fixed: occasional double click noise in some sections
Fixed: start button being active in unreleased stories
Fixed: some option's text cutting off
Fixed: some missing acquisitions/losses
Fixed: reset button showing up in unreleased stories
In the meantime we are fixing up story 2 and getting it ready for launch next month.
As for the little bonus, we packaged up the poster, (short) soundtrack, and some wallpapers and bundled them into this update. You might notice the update is rather large for just some fixes and a few added features... this is why. The bonus material is in the game's Steam folder.
That's it for now. More to come!
Raise Your Own Clone Is Now On Steam
Our episodic text adventure, Raise Your Own Clone, is now available on Steam! The game launches with the original story one and the madlib features added back in from the desktop original version, as well as discounted by 15% for the first week. You can check it out here.
As you slog your way through Marsch's choices on what to do with his uncle's lab, we continue to tweak and polish story two for release sometime in late October.
