News! News! (v0.7.0)
Added 2025-04-06 05:08:05 +0000 UTCπ Hello!
While the remaining locations are being reworked for non-linear playthrough, I am improving and adding visuals. I understand the genre of the game very well, but in addition to the "content" there was a lot that needed to be brought to a normal look + due to the transition to non-linear playthrough, many locations and some sprites needed to be slightly changed (locations) and added (sprites). Some of you want "more Marta" and some say "locations are too bright" etc. We are trying to solve all the questions and problems. Version 0.7.0 is most likely the longest update we need to do. So be patient honey-bunniesπ . We do not want to continue refining in version 0.8.0, so everything will be finished in 0.7.0 and we will be able to calmly continue working. When 0.7.0 comes out, you will not recognize the game. Now after Rocky wakes up in Martha's house after being hit by a branch under a waterfall, you will be left alone with the world of the Kingdom, non-linear passage, supplemented and improved plot/locations/NPCs. Also new locations and NPCs (so that there are fewer messages "In the next updates" and also to fill the world of the game). This is a complete remaster of "Pies 'n' Apples" and we are doing greatπͺ . Work is going on every day, without days off, but of course only in free time (well... that's lifeπ€ ).
Thanks for the support and... be sure to wash your hands before eating!π€¨
The work continues, stay tuned!

No, in 0.7.0 the theme of transformation will most likely not be touched upon. The transition to non-linear passage affects not only the development time and makes the game more interesting, but also the gameplay time. Because earlier all the characters were added/removed/replaced in the group by default, but now everything is completely different. After Rocky woke up in Martha's house and put on pants, the player is on his own. All the characters and NPCs are busy with their own affairs and the player will move the plot forward himself, look for/earn money and coins, decide where to go, decide who to talk to and who to invite/kick out of the group, etc. Now all the locations and places that are not closed by the plot are open so that the player can freely visit them at any time. For example, you can return to the Kaise farm, etc. New locations and NPCs have been added, because to advance the plot we need to use NPCs and locations/places that were not in the game yet. Also global system changes in locations, for example now Duke can only be met at night. And the Old Mill now works differently: During the day it is a regular bar, at night it is a strip bar and "red rooms". Now the player will do the plot advancement, even before meeting Cassandra. Day and night. The game world has expanded in terms of gameplay because day and night events have been added (and sometimes morning / evening). As for the continuation of the plot, yes, of course there is a continuation, but the game is quite large and the transformation, the development of skills that the player will receive from transformations or without them should occur gradually, as the game progresses. The same applies to the development of relationships between characters, etc. You just can't make a game and at the very beginning Marta will take off her panties and strike a pose (for example), right? Now the game will be as it should be. The player is left to himself until some key moments of the plot, where the developer allows the plot to continue further. We did not give the player complete freedom at the very beginning, but did it on the second morning in Martha's house, because: 1. New players (who are playing for the first time) will quickly go through the linear beginning, which has been shortened more than twice (I do not mean the reduction of the plot, but the transition from linearity to independence) and will continue the game. 2. Old-timers of the game (for example, you personallyπ) will also quickly go through the beginning because they know what's what and this will not make them think "start from the beginning again?" because the linearity will end quickly and the continuation will depend on the player. This way, everyone will be happy. Let me summarize: The game has been completely redesigned, not only visually. Previously, the player walked with the narrator from scene to scene, but now all these scenes also appear only if the player reached them on his own. What will the player do? How will the player do it? - depends only on him. We have improved the entire hint system, quest log, etc. Now, with due attention, of course, the majority of players will have no questions, everything will be logical.
