- Fixed quite a few bugs. Though the biggest two are:
- Fixed player not getting money when completing battles.
- Fixed Eris not showing properly in kitchen for Chapter 2.
All of that stuff is what the normal Beta 1 had.But this version is different, during the original release of Beta 1 there were 3 different patches that were needed to get the game to work properly. In this full version those are all just added to the game already, I then went through and did a full playthrough of the game and found a couple more issues and fixed those. Mainly it was just an issue with a Chapter variable that was found and fixed before the Alpha 3 release, but there was another issue that was not found in Alpha 3, Which was kinda game breaking. Context the Alpha 3 version works fine, if you already know what to do and were to go, but if you don't it is pretty easy to think that you are stuck, or just at the end of the content. I changed that by making jumps directly in the code to other sections, instead of having the player walk there, This slight change I did 4x during this update that is not in the Alpha 3 update. See it's not a big change but it does make the story feel like it flows better. So I will be adding the changes to the Alpha 3 version when that goes public in a month too.

  So today was rather productive. Though not as much as I would like it to be, but to be honest that is out of my control. Have you ever woke up fine, then out of no where halfway through your day just had like the sudden urge vomit. Like sick just washes over you? IDK bro I was sitting here coding and then my eyes started to hurt, and I felt horrible. So I am getting off a bit earlier today than I planned, but I am going to lay down and see if this feeling can go away. It wasn't a bad day in terms of productivity though, not by any means. I just didn't get the screens finished I was working on. My planned end goal for the day was to record myself doing the summoning animation thing in game with all the screens working and throwing that up on here for you all.I worked for 14 hours straight today, not the normal 20 but I also started feeling sick around 4 to 5 hours ago. I just wanted to push through it and get to the goal. But yea. So what all did I get done today? I made the summoning animations for the gacha system. Which was fun, I enjoy playing around in custom timeline editing mode. The more I do it the better I seem to get at it. Though I am still nowhere near as good as some other devs I have seen but hey it's alright I will improve with time. Other than that I created 106 items, some items were made in the Koikatsu Engine, and some others I created in Blender and photoshop. I also got those 106 items already coded and added to the game, all I needed to do was finish the gacha screens and make sure it all works. I thought I was on the last step of that 3 separate times, when I kept forgetting shit to do first. Then when I went to finally test the code like 10 mins ago, my game crashed. It isn't a big deal when I am coding I make mistakes, lets be real every coder makes mistakes when coding, anyone who says they don't are lying to you. It's like those friends you have that say they never beat off. Everyone does, literally everyone even your grandmother. That's just how it goes, which is why I love it so much when people freak out when they figure out their parents are still "sexually active" lol sorry tangent you know I get like this when I'm too tired. Ok so plans for tomorrow? Finish gacha system, hopefully get the stats viewer system thing working. Kind of annoying to have a system in place for randomized stats and randomized rolls on those stats, and all that fun RNG stuff. Ok another tangent time. Everyone says they hate RNG, heres the thing though. Those same people are the ones that get crazy hyped when they get a god roll on something right? So me I love the RNG but thats also why I play 4 gacha games. So it is what it is. Onto the stuffs to show ohhh maybe I should start calling this show and tell time? Come on you know you love the idea.I am thinking I will send you a summoning animation and I'll send an image of the items I made today. Like I said I had planned on also sending a full on video of me summoning on the game but that will have to wait for tomorrow. Now if I were to go back to this scene in koikatsu, and yea I saved it so if I didnt like it I could go back and make adjustments. I think if I go back to it I want to have the camera start right in Rudeus's face, then pan out and to the side, thats when you see he is charging the spell, then I am thinking he pulls his hand back a bit, before launching it forward. and this section here would just be after he launches it. That would probably look alot cooler, but at the same time this is really fast and since you will see the animation who knows how many times during gameplay the fact that this is not even 2 seconds is also kind of a good thing....? But yea here are the items so far. I want to add a bunch more these are all meant to be the random RNG items, while actual recognizable stuff from the anime will be exclusively legendary gear and it will have preset stats. Things like Sylphys wand, Roxys wand and hat, Eris's swords, Sara's bow, so on and so forth. All things on my todo list. But yea I will see you all tomorrow I need to lay down.  

After the 2 days of coding, and a day of testing.... fixing.... and testing again....MH Beta 1 Is done there is nothing left on the current todo list, which means the update can go out. It has been a long 40 hours straight session and I am TIRED. But I want to get the different builds done, Then start the compression and start the uploads. Then I will allow myself to sleep.

I am currently building the game the Non compressed version. For the 20$ tier supporters.Why only the 20$ tier supporters? Well the 20$ tier comes with an exclusive scene voted on by the 20$ tier patrons. Which I will then be removing said scene and recompiling the game for the 10$ tier patrons.

I will also need to do multiple runs of the compression for the itch.io version. Since that still needs to somehow get below 1GB... And with this update the game is up to 10GB non compressed.As this update added 2GB in content on it's own. What is 2 GB in content mean?Well essentially its 20k lines of code.20 sexual positions with 3 angles and between 4 and 6 speeds of each angle meaning 1 position has anywhere from 12-18 animations for it. So... A fuck ton of animations.and around 500 renders. Plus the UI overhaul and the new book menus and revamped office and all that yadda yadda yadda that you all have been hearing me go on about for weeks now.For the record. Last month we had some users jump up to the 20$ tier to download the update then swap back to the free tier.That is perfectly fine and expected for a lot of people. I get it don't want to commit because you never can trust devs in this line of work I too have seen a shit load of devs just abandon projects.So no I am not saying there is anything wrong with just increasing your tier to download then lower it. What I am saying is when you do that. Make sure you request the 20$ tier version of the game from me. And while you at it vote on the next releases 20$ tier exclusive scene. If you end up boosting back up to 20 on the next release you would probably like knowing there is a special scene there for you.

Also anyone that bumps up to the 10$ tier to download then lowers afterwards make sure you let me know what you would like for your Custom main menu screen.I legit have no issues with people bumping it up then lowering it, I have issues when I feel like people are getting screwed over because your not getting what you paid for. A couple of the people that did that last month I tried to contact them on multiple channels and they never replied. Which makes me feel like I ripped them off and I am not cool with that.

Yea it's the 16th now technically... But I still haven't slept yet so it doesn't count for me lol.So what did I do today? Well I powered through getting all the images and animations for the entire new introduction. I also made the 5 new NPCs. Sadly only one person filled out the form on discord for wanting a character added to the game based on them. Big Sad. But I just went to my old faithful. Winging it, and randomly picking names based on discord usernames.Though if you want a character added to the game either A. Based on you, or B. Based on whatever the fuck you want really? like your avatar or whatever. Fill out this form, you can DM it me on discord or here on patreon. Or even just comment on this post as I do leave comments open.But I now have 20 NPCs scattered around the town. I would love to have around 50 per town... There are going to end up being a total of 5 towns... So thats a metric fuckload of characters I have to make eventually so if you fill out the form chances are pretty damn likely you will see your character in the game. The next 30 I make though will all be students at Ranoa. Meaning the outfits they wear are already kinda set in stone with slight changes that can be added in the Special Features section. Well heres the form if you want to give it a go.Characters Name -Male or Female -Hair Color -Hair Lenth -Eye Color -Special Features you want added -Anything else you want to see? -Ok onto the todo list.Things to add for the Beta 1 Update

-New game introduction. - Done 6/15

-Pursena - Story, Convos, and Dates - Not Done - Waiting on writer

Should be 2 or 3 positions on the dates.

-Add some more dialogues for random people in town. - Done 6/15

-Create 5 new NPC characters - Done 6/15

-Add NPC characters to randomly picked maps, 2 maps at different times of day, 1 conversation at each location. - Still need to do this

So today I got a fair bit done, though I was pretty sluggish and tired all day. I am assuming it was from not getting enough sleep last night.

I rearranged the todo list, I figured it would be easier for people who really didn't know what they were looking at to get a better grasp by just looking at whats done vs. not done.

The game plan is to date what got done and when, Then I will move the done stuff down to the done section the next time you see the list. That way you only need to worry about

whats above the "done" line.

Also for a bit of context. The new game introduction part may only take up one line on this todo list. But it is by far the biggest chunk of it.

I talk with the writer nearly every day, today he gave me a bulletpoint list of the changes we are going to be making to the story.

We want to make sure people know right from the get go, even though this is set in the same world as MT. It is not the same story as the novels or anime.

So the new game introduction is going to have some flashbacks, showing some things that played out differently in our story.

And how that will change the course of events.

Hagren (The writer) Does not want to bombard everyone with too much dialogue right in the beginning.

I think it should be fine, for the people that want world building and immersion I say give it to them.

To the people that don't... well that's why I will be adding a skip intro button right?

So to keep everyone updated on where I am with the update, since it appears most people want to make sure things are done and ready to go before releasing.

I figured I would show you all my checklist everyday so you can keep track of the progress day to day.

I understand that most of you do not understand the majority of the stuff I talk about when I start talking about the code and renders and all that jazz.

So the only real thing you need to worry about is if it is done or not done. When everything on this list says done. The update will go out. Simple right?

I am also going to be putting an estimated time something should take, and a reason why each thing is not done yet.

Things to add for the Beta 1 Update

New game introduction. - Not Done - Waiting for dialogue from Writer before I can get started on getting the renders and animations for this. Probably a day or 2 away from being able to start on it. Should take a day to get renders and animations once I have script.

Balance fights again - Done - This took around 2 days.

Book instead of computer for seeing stats, levels. - Done - This only took a couple of hours after the other devs at f95zone helped me get unstuck.

Time Skip feature - Done - Took seconds after getting unstuck.

Fix player losing money - Done - Took longer than I am willing to admit... About 5 hours to figure out what was causing it.... deleting one line to fix it...
