December Update
Greetings weary traveler,
You might have noticed already, but our story just got a new name: Chronicles of Tal'Dun: The Remainder.
There will be more than one story in this setting we created, and it's easier to search for this way, so Ze and I are very happy about this decision.
The changes we tested in previous update of act 1 are now applied to the Act 2 as well.
Hopefully nothing new broke by this update, but in case something is not working properly, let me know.
About the achievements for the Act 2: they are there but are still somewhat work in progress, most likely I will change their names in the long run and add a few more, but they are there and working so - victory!
There are some new bits of writing after Vyn reads the journal for the first time, and we tried to reduce the info dumping as much as we could.
We hope you will enjoy these new tweaks. We are more than halfway finished with the final act and let me tell you, it will be amazing. :3
Following is the list of features from the previous act 1 update devlog which are now implemented in second act as well:
1. New text display system
Text is now appearing in a slightly different way than before. Old text is automatically scrolls out of the box when the new line appears. Also, the new line has a slight effect on it to guide the eye to it. I think it's an improvement and pretty neat, but I'm looking forward to any feedback and suggestions regarding it.
2. New way to display history
It is also now possible to scroll text up if you missed something so I removed the history screen for now. This doesn't work flawlessly for now, but I prefer it to opening a complete new screen.
4. Visual changes
Changed the background of the opening scene and blood filled dream
Broke up the wall of text about Shrooshroo at the beginning and added animated bg
Changed appearance of the intro tutorial
5. Post death dialogue
Dying is not so prominent in the act 1, but from now on things happen when you die. <_<
6. Small changes in wording and fixed typos here and there
The Remainder Act 2 Now Available!
Greetings weary traveler, I hope this message finds you in high spirit and good health.
We're thrilled, and a bit terrified, to share with you Act 2 of The Remainder.
There'll be new mysterious characters to be baffled by, dozens of story routes to get lost in, deeper secrets to unravel, and 88k words to immerse yourself with.
Act 1 and 2 are now one continuous story, it's recommended that you start from the beginning to experience the story as intended, and to avoid bugs with saving and gameplay.
Thank you so much for your support and for being part of our journey.
May the Currents take you where you're meant to be.
After many months of creative work, we've finally created something that we think captures the spirit of our vision, a dark fantasy tale of mystery, self-discovery, love, and forgiveness.
The game was inspired by our love for interactive narratives, tasteful visuals, haunting sounds, and just a genuinely good story that takes you on a journey. We wanted to make something original, intriguing, and takes a bit of puzzling out. A mystery that draws you in and won't let go.
In the course of the last few months we taught ourselves how to write, program, make music and manage a project. It had been a fun and exciting journey, and we're only getting started. There is so much more to the world of The Remainder that we want to tell, starting with the tale of Ilar and the high magus who lost their memory, or in other words, you.
This was our first game, we had no idea how it was going to end up, but we never doubted that we'd make it happen.
We hope you'll play it, enjoy it, support it, and be part of our journey.
