Alpha build update!

Added 2021-07-23 14:26:11 +0000 UTC

To start I wanted to introduce you all to Kaho's best friend Kikuchi Sakura! She won't be in the park with us physically, but she will be part of the Occult Club chat group, helping Kaho out with puzzles and emotional support.

I thought I'd share this concept becuase we don't have much to show of our progress since the last update. It's been a lot of very spoilery interactions and dialogue while Al finishes up the enemy ai. The good news is that we will be sending out the new Alpha build NEXT WEEK! A bit later than we had hoped but problems always arise when you have a tight schedule. Ill make a post here and on twitter about it before sending it to your dms!

The alpha build will have a number of cool things you can do

- enter the spooky bathroom (please do not share any screenshots of this as we will be keeping it a secret and it's set up is built for a few big scares
- pick up items and play with the inventory
- do interactions to get inventory items
- use items from the inventory on certain interactions
- combine specific items in your inventory
- dialogue has been implemented, while some of it is placeholder we will leave a few that are finalized!
- enemy AI should be in, but if we cannot get it polished enough for testing then we will hold off on it, and this specific build will be for testing the inventory and dialogue system.

Feel free to try everything you can to break the game, we also want feedback on the lighting and environment. Be as harsh as necessary, we truly want Midnight to be a Kamige!

The next alpha we hope to have even more polish on everything and be much closer to the final version of the game with our photography mode and hiding spot system implemented!

Thank you all for your support, we cant wait to hear your feedback on Midnight so far!
