The Midnight Channel Info and News
🕑 Added 2023-09-13 17:08:36 +0000 UTCHey everyone! I have been slaving away the last couple weeks working on The Midnight Channel to get it up to a point where I'm happy to release it on Itch. The game is still nowhere near the scope and depth that the original Persona H TMC has, but I'm working on it! I plan to have all features from the previous version eventually added into this one, and more! Some things will be staying exactly the same functionality wise, like the Mining/Rock breaking mini-game. Other things are being re-worked to make a bit more sense and also cause less confusion during gameplay.
Quick Example: I'm working on the Cleaning Stat mechanic. In the previous game, there was dirt and grime everywhere so that the player felt rewarded by cleaning it up, it also upgraded their cleaning mechanic which in turn allowed them to date Yukiko. In my new version, I'm making it so that you upgrade your cleanliness by cleaning up the Amagi Inn WITH Yukiko. It's a stronger way to tell the story, but also it keeps all the dirt and grime to segmented areas within the Amagi Inn, and therefor less clutter around Inaba!
I don't have an official release date onto itch yet, but I do feel like It's going to be soon! After the feedback from you all on the Public Beta, I feel more confident in releasing the game as it currently is.
As always, once released, I will be searching for found bugs and issues and tackling those first. Then I will be focusing my energy on what next I'm putting into the game.
The reason this one is taking longer then normal for me is that I'm adding in some basic scenes for a few characters and not just Chie. I want the player to understand that I'm creating a larger world here that will change and morph as each update comes out.
Anyway, that's all I got for now. Back to work!
Here are some development screenshots as I have been working away, these are not final and only represent how the game looks while I'm developing :
