V0.6.4 Progress Report
🕑 Added 2024-04-04 15:20:20 +0000 UTC
Hey everyone,
it's time to let you know what I'm working on again, and I guess also tell you a little of how I'm holding up. First of all, progress on the game is steady, but as always I will have to wait for some art to be delivered. That said, I also have to do taxes this month, so I have plenty to do to fill the voids. Transitioning is going great, but it's crazy how many changes are already full underway after less than three months. The list of effects they all start between three and six months, but I'm already feeling all of them. That's great for my dysphoria of course, but there are also some negative things like... I wake up every single night because I have to pee and then I can't fall back asleep a lot of the times. So I'm quite tired on those days, which so far hasn't affected my ability to work effectively, but if this goes on forever and I don't get enough sleep every night, it might. So I'm going to ask my doctor about this. What are they supposed to do though? Anyways... here comes the list of features in V0.6.4:
Harpy TF & NPC
As the title suggests, this patch will introduce the probably final monster girl—the harpy. You know by now how the content pipeline for Doomsday works, so I don't think I need to say much more about this. There are new orb locations and new player transformations. After this, I want to work on one more crazy transformation, but it's highly experimental, and if it doesn't work, maybe I'll introduce one more monster girl instead. We'll have to see next patch.
Taking The Elevator
If you've been following the Doomsday puzzle as it comes together, you may know that the goal is to get the elevator running and that that goal has been achievable with V0.6.3, so now it is time to explore the first new area of the house. You'll be able to go up to the management floor. I can't really promise that this patch will already contain much content in that area, but I'll have to see when I get all the final images. I'm looking forward to this, though, because it opens up the possibility of some more world-building.
Katelyn Expressions
If you've followed the last few patches, you know that I'm currently working on replacing all NPC characters' standing images with complex expression systems. This time, I'm working on Katelyn. Again, this is not just the implementation of the graphics itself but also going through all dialogs with Katelyn to add code to trigger what expressions to show, which is, unfortunately, an impossible-seeming soul-crushing amount of work. But I got through it before, so I'm sure I will achieve it again.
More Audio Work
Over the last patches, the audio engineer has done incredible work on all kinds of fronts. Music and FX have greatly improved our experience. This will, however, be the last patch in the near future I'm letting him work on because I feel like the game needs to be in a more finished state to get polished from here on out. That won't be extremely far off, though. I expect him to continue working on the game around this time next year.
New Legacy Items
With the v0.6.x patches, I'm also trying always to improve some aspect of the main gameplay loop so that it becomes more enjoyable. This time, I'm adding new Legacy items that'll let you bypass the contestant quests to make them your ally immediately. As with all Legacy items, you can, of course, only get these if you have already completed the corresponding quest before.
And that's it for patch V0.6.4! I actually had a few more things on my list, but I have to push those back to the next one. I promise V0.6.5 will finally contain a new end-of-week show again. It's been a while. The end of the Doomsday content in general is also at least on the horizon. It will be a few more patches of this, but then I'll be able to go back to finishing the main gameplay loop once and for all.
I hope you look forward to the patch, and I'll talk to you soon.
Best,
Kim

maybe this video helps? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOW5dyA_JgY there's tons of resources and tutorials about this on google and youtube and all kinds of other help websites
Rel
sorry, but with that information, it's impossible to diagnose what part you did wrong
Rose Smith
im sorry to be a pain; okay so i am taking both codes and replaced everything in the brackets with the path. I hit enter and nothing happens
Rel
0. Open Terminal 1. Replace the placeholder for the path with the path to the game. You can for example get the full path by dragging the app into terminal. Make sure to clear the input field after, if you do this. 2. Copy the Code (cmd + c) 3. click into terminal 4. paste the code (cmd + v) (This should execute the code, otherwise hit Return/Enter)
Rose Smith
To Be Clear. I understand the Terminal Commands I am supposed to use as per previous post. But HOW do I use them. Terminal is not user friendly so a step by step approach would help for running your mac version
Rose Smith
How do I use terminal commands?
Rel
New versions of OS X automatically quarantines and take away read/write file rights from apps that are built on Windows and are not signed by Apple. These are the terminal commands: chmod -R 755 [YOUR_PATH_TO_APP].app sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine [YOUR_PATH_TO_APP].app
Rose Smith
Anybody can help a new mac user on how to get it to run on Mac. I see something about Terminal codes but I'm very confused on it.

No need to apologize :) I know it is not your fault. From a source I heard that the download might stop because of the download limit being reached without the unregistered user being told
Rel
Sorry, but Mega is the only hoster that I can legally use, that doesn't remove files that get downloaded as much as the BMO releases after a day or so. Have you tried using their download software? It might also just be a temporary problem. We've seen that sometimes there are issues but they usually only last for a few hours.
BimboWO
I have problems with downloads via MEGA. The download always stops in the middle

Vampire would also be an interesting monster transformation!

If you do another monster girl, either the mermaid or centaur would be sweet if possible.
