Development Log #1

Sharing some exciting development progress for DCR Chapter 2! Adding some interesting ways to interact with the story on a deeper level…

Entrusted Items & Inquire Function

Raven will entrust you with a few of his belongings. You can read these items at any neutral point in the story. Some items will contain interesting information; inquire with Raven to gain a better insight. 

Inquiries will not affect stats, but will use the same conversational style as seen throughout the game.

New Scenes

Sketches have been fleshed-out, coloured, and are ready to be included in Chapter 2.

Chapter Select

When making a new game, you will be able to select which chapter you'd like to start from.

Trope Select/Trope Change

Gaining stats through choice selection is the organic way to experience the story. But with the addition of multiple chapters, it will become harder to encounter all the branches the game has to offer…

You'll be able to quickly shape your character’s stats by choosing a character trope (via the character stats menu, or after selecting a chapter to start from). While not all paths can be found this way, it will certainly help you fill any gaps you may have missed, or areas you’d like to explore.

I’ve programmed these systems from scratch, so it’s taken some time. However, I hope you enjoy them when C2 comes out!

I once again want to thank everyone who played my demo, reviewed it, or spread the word. It truly means a lot!

Thanks for reading,
Raven Nights
