Falling Stars V.0.2. is finally done! An early access version is now available for $5 if you want to help support the game, and the public version will be released FREE next week!

So, this week, I will be working mainly on some smaller, QOL stuff, like adding a transparancy slider to the dialogue box, some different fonts for characters,  (having specific fonts for some and not others is getting a little confusing) and I will be adding more background music plus fixing any bugs that may come up.

Work on new content will start next week after the public version goes live.

Now, to the most important thing...the huge delay in getting this version out! I had intended to put out monthly updates, and that is still very much the plan going forward but this release took more like 6 weeks which is...not ideal.

Here's the thing - I work a full time job, I'm in the process of moving to a different country, and I only really stated learning how to use a computer properly about 8 months ago. These are not excuses, the delay is entirely on me, I'm just letting you know the situation. I'm not necessarily slacking off, I just have a LOT of other stuff going on right now! (And, I will admit, I do slack off a little bit when my basketball team is playing!)

I've been working extremely hard on the game but I need to learn to work smarter. I have probably been doing a lot more than I need to, in terms of amount of images, size of scenes etc. I need to learn to know when to stop and move on, basically.  

I can already see quite a few points in the game where, for example, I can just use two or three images, where instead I've made ten or twelve. I've let some scenes take me off down a tangent, and made a really long scene when I could have just split it and made it into two seperate ones. I could maybe make the actual wrestling match scenes a little shorter...well, you get the idea. I need to change the way I work to avoid these kind of delays but I recognise the problem and am looking at ways to fix it.

So, my apologies for the delay. I can't promise it won't happen again but I CAN promise that I will do my best to reorganize my working habits to minimize the chances of these kinds of issues continuing.
