Feedback Weekend

Hello dear Patreons!

Today I am pleased to bring you news about the game!

Still remain a few weeks for the release of the demo but we’ve progressed immensely for you to have the best and cleanest game experience out of it.

Right out from Unshi’s words: “This month has been madness”. He pushed the engine to the next level, broke it, fixed it, then tweaked it. He has developed quite some stuff but the main 2 biggest concerns this month have been a scalable “Save&Load” and a “Chapter Selector”.

Save&Load System: You will not lose your progress.

One of the biggest challenges of creating a game in Unity is that everything has to be done almost from scratch. That includes elements as basic as a Save&Load. Unity offers “tools” that may or may not work for your project, but you always end up creating something new from what you have (since it’s cleaner and more scalable).

Well, our Save&Load is a reality. Agents of Heels now has an autosave feature on all your progress: Chapters ended, Pages read, Vignettes interacted, Decisions Made, etc. So, you won’t have to restart it every time you play it.

Unshi has left it so in future versions will be possible to have multiple “SaveSlots” for you to manually save your progress whenever you want. That means being able to see whatever would have happened if you chose a different path in the past, without the need to restart the game.

Chapter Selector: Replay what you’ve already seen.

The other biggest concern about the Project (that had to be addressed asap) was replayability.

That’s why we now have a Chapter Selector that will allow you to, once you ended a chapter, read it again without the need to go through every page of it (as it used to happen with the engine test). 

One of the most interesting features is that the saved chapters also embed all decisions taken during it. That means that comparing a chapter from one game to another may lead to huge differences.

Missions may have different approaches and based on your character stats you may be able to access it via completely different paths… and that may lead to many consequences.

Nowadays the chapter selector is only accessed through the “Cheat Engine”, but we expect to include it somewhere in the game in a future version.
