Hello Everyone
EDIT: Updated with bugfix that broke intro quests for an unknown reason. Fixed.
It has been a little month since the Patreon release of Dirty Deeds and the rest of the world can now get their hands on V0.65. It is the release that collects and cleans up...

Back in Design Diary 28, I talked about the roadmap for the rest of Horizon and some things have changed as we moved through the releases. Now that we are into the last 1/3 of the game I wanted to give an update on what has changed and what might change going forward. Below ...

Last time I talked about a bit about the effect of the choices in the last couple of releases. This time I can go a bit more into what has been added and I will also go over a rerelease of an old feature.
First let's take a look at the possible outcomes for the main missi...

I hope everyone got into 2021 more or less intact. I had some plague adjusted holiday celebrations and am back to adding content to V0.65. Let's talk a bit about that below.
Progress has been steady as I am adding new events each day. I am still working on an outside-in mode...

It looks like I am not the only one that can deal with development issues :) My thoughts go out to every developer who has to spend their holiday looking at code. Not that I am in any way in the same boat as certain other poor souls. I just have to catch up to my plans ...

Time for the public to also get their hands on V0.60. The Patrons know it was a painful release due to the plague and multiple delays.
There is enough to do since I did put a lot of work into V0.50 and the three main missions that are still playing out. It is still m...

The latest release (V0.60) is out among the Patrons and I haven't heard any horror stories so far. Let's assume that things are working as intended and move on to talk about what is ahead. I have begun work on V0.65 and it will be the last of this "block". Let me explai...

This is not the post I wanted to make at this time but one that has to be made. The setback from my illness and the catchup with my "real" work has been a lot harder than I imagined. I have been working on V0.60 at a steady pace for a couple of weeks now but it is no where ne...

It has been a little while since my last post about my health issue and I can say that I am slowly getting back to normal. It has been a drag as everything just feels like you are running on fumes the entire time even as a person who did not get the worst of it. I did not nee...

Not the best of news today. I have been down and out for almost a week now. I felt pretty shitty last weekend and it has not been getting better so I have gotten tested. It turns out it was the plague so that explains it. I seemed to have picked it up during a run to buy groc...

It has been week ish since the public release of V0.55 and there hasn't been a lot of support needs so far. Some minor corrections and a single fix for the next release that isn't critical. So that brings us to the current progress towards V0.60.
The first major task wa...

The second release of this block has come to the public. It contains the second main mission and is slightly mission/project heavy but there is a bunch to do.
Let's get right to download.

We are getting into it. The meat of the game. The top of the tree. I have talked about the choices and branches in the feature focus series. In this I want to go over the outcome of those choices in more detail.

As we get closer to the release of V0.55 I wanted to talk a bit about the long term planning that the current missions have forced me to do :)

It has been some weeks since the release of V0.50 and the Patrons "going down" on that content as we speak. It was a beast of a release and I had to take a couple of days of to clear my head afterwards. 101 events/scenes is a lot.
I have then started work on V0.55 and t...

We are entering another month of V0.50 development and I can promise you it will be the last. It has already taken longer than expected and has grown into something larger than ever been seen before.
We have just finished the 3. round of testing. Pre-mission, 1. mission...

After the last two posts in this series were a bit general and maybe even a bit cryptic it is time to get a bit more specific. Some of you might have picked up on some hints in the last release about your choices being important and that that not all choices are black or whit...

I really wanted to have a better update for this monumental number but sometimes things just happen and you have to go with the flow. I knew going into V0.50 that it was going to be a marathon and I was not wrong.

Some of the public players have had an issue getting stuck in V0.45 and there was a bug where a day counter did not reset for some players and caused one path to get stuck. No idea why this would happen so I added a workaround. It does not affect all players but you can get this v...

Hello everyone
I feel like a fool. The last feature focus post that I posted at the start of April was a bit too metaphorical. The meaning was there but my intention might not have been in the right place. Let me see if I can fix it this time with an explanation of what I actually meant. 2020-04-08 16:38:45 +0000 UTC View Post
