Version 4.23 Released to Supporters (and development update)

Version 4.23 is out

The changelog is on the support page and also bundled with the update if you got it on Steam. This is mostly a bugfix and QoL update, with some new gameplay and audio options to configure voice clips and whatnot. Of important note is the new badge system in chapter 1, allowing you to equip and unequip badges so enemy categories will ignore you if they would ignore that specific form.

This will also be added to chapter 5 when I do that update, as will a lot of other things.

I am currently still doing a few more fixes for the translation and modernizing the WHI combat code in anticipation of the Hard Mode update, as well as making the big pile of abilities it will need. Bug reports for Ch1 have slowed down so I may be able to start the chapter 5 fixes before the end of February.

The Results of the Poll

Oh boy.

Oh boy.

This means that – me as an insect girl won. Yes, really. I am technically a character in the game because I appear in the end credits, but how did that actually win? So I will be PERSONALLY commissioning Chic to draw the second place winner, Living Armor, because the other 1000 people who played the game and don’t care about our weird in-jokes will want to see a WHI thing and not my own vanity project even though it’s not a damn vanity project, YOU voted for it.

For reference, I suggested “Verand petting a corgi”. It got 7 votes. I love democracy.

As for when to expect this, it will be posted when it is ready. February is an extremely busy month for Chic, so I don’t know when. It will be posted on Steam, Itch.io, and here whenever it is ready.
