As you all know, I took 2 weeks off of main development at the end of March.
A week of that was just "me time." The other week was me working on new non-story related stuff, a backlog of errors that needed fixing, and writing (I don't particularly find writing to be 'work' as I quite enjoy it).
Yay!
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR 0.12.0:
AS OF 0.12.0, I am going to be working on tracking my progress and what files I work on so that I can make an update patch for return players.
Much like the compression versions I made with folks that have limited HDD space and bad internet, I understand that 9gb is... daunting and unnecessary for a trashy little visual novel like mine, so staring on 0.12.0, I should hopefully have a much smaller patch in which all you would need to do is drag and drop into the root folder of Detached in order to update.
The only caveat is that you would need to be on the previous version to be able to do this. So if you are 2 or more updates behind, it's the full game for you!
While it is beyond my current ability, I will look into automatic updates in the future. (This isn't going to be for a long time though.)
Changelog:
1 Main Event
3 Anne Events
3 King Events
2 Zeke Events
5 Generic Events
2 Lewd Events
Jessica’s Invite option is finally here! You can now call her home to hold hands behind closed doors like the degenerates you are! :D
1,896 Lines of Dialogue
19,885 Words
635 Renders
4 Animations
4 new songs
New Choice Buttons! No more pesky buttons covering Daine’s beloved beard!
New Sandbox UI! Tired of diving into the menus and having to push, like, 3 or 4 buttons to get that precious information that you want? Now you have important information like Affection and event hints with a single button click when you’re in the sandbox portion! Yay!
Expanded on the event hints to include hints for events that play after other events. Now all character events have hints.
MORE PESKY CAPITALIZATIONS FOLLOWING ELLIPSES HAVE BEEN FIXED. (Thanks for everyone meticulously picking them out for me. You make my game better)
Temporarily removed some unused files that were causing a boot error on Macs.
I've updated the Coffee God tiers on both SubscribeStar and Patreon. Both now have their own 3 day early access!
My SubscribeStar page now has it's own exclusive Free Tier, the Moral Support Bro tier. Subscribing to this one offers a 1 day early access to Detached at the massive cost of FREE! Yay! A Discord role will happen eventually.
I'll also likely be tweaking the other tiers slightly in the near future as I've been doing this a while and actually kind of know what I'm doing as a dev now lol.
Scruffles' Devlog 5 - 1 Year Public Release Anniversary!
Man, what a much needed break this was.
A two week development break (save for the new UI coming in 0.11.0 and the plethora of grammatical errors that were brought to my attention, but that's hardly work to me). I feel great.
Who knew taking a break once in a while did wonders for inspiration.
Anyway, welcome to Chapter 2 of Detached! Lots of stuff is planned for this chapter! More Organisation stuff! More hanging out with girls as you help Daine avoid things the he really should take more seriously! More handholding and [REDACTED]!
What a wild ride this next year is going to be.
Wait, "this next year?"
That's right!
April 8th is Detached's 1 Year Anniversary of the official public release!
It's hard to believe that I've been working on this stupid little project of mine for almost two years now. It's surreal to me that I've finally made something that I continue to actively share with y'alls.
I can't express just how much your continued support and interest means to me. Really kicks the imposter syndrome square in the nuts, and for that, I thank you.
So what's next?
Well, with Chapter 2 finally being here, a lot, really.
Chapter 1 was largely a whole lot, and yet nothing at all. That was by design. Introduce subplots, hint at them, but ultimately leave them be in the background. They're both important and not.
This is, after all, a game about Daine. Not secret Organisations and weird things for that guy. Nope. Not at all.
Chapter 2 will play out similarly and differently at the same time. What do I mean by this?
Chapter 2 is planned on having a heavier focus on Organisation stuff alongside Daine's usual antics.
This will mainly affect Main Events. There will be two very clear and different sorts. One type with Daine (and will be the regular group interactions, main story, and subplot progression), and another without (purely subplot progression). We've already had a couple without our dear, broken MC-Kun in the earlier parts of Chapter 1, and several at the end. Expect this trend to continue going into Chapter 2.
Girl and Bro Events will remain as they always have, still largely be focused on the interpersonal aspects between Daine and his peeps. This is a dating sim, after all.
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to the next year.
And I appreciate all of you, and thanks for sticking around!

Damn, I'm getting somewhere here. I begin to put the project as a priority on my free time outside of my IRL work. Less time on other hobbies, more time on the game. Thank you!
