• Dialogue Manager changed to GameTime mode, observes time pauses by the settings menu

Known Bugs:

• I think I covered a good majority of the bugs from the previous build and tested all the menus multiple times. If you find any bugs let me know!

Mission System:

A lot of work put into the mission system, unfortunately I’m going to have to redo it another way since it’s not scalable in its current state.

I had to cut like half the missions I had planned since it was slowing down my database variable reading and I didn’t want to implement coroutines to slow down reading the variables for every system.

Also the amount of characters and writing was getting out of control for an extra gameplay feature.

I already had some different ideas to implement regarding the mission system but if you guys have any ideas let me know! I’d love to hear them.

You can:

• Select mission from the mission screen (Gotham only)
• Recruit mercenaries
• Set a map region (Gotham only)
• Check your resources

Base Management System:

Very early base upgrading and defense events, so expect significant changes to it in the future.

I had a different implementation planned but it probably would have taken a couple more months to implement, and for an extra gameplay feature I can’t justify that when the main content needs to be worked on.

I’ll have updates on this eventually, but if you all have ideas you’d like implemented let me know!

You can (Eventually):

• Perform campus wide rules(WIP NOT READY)
• Check on characters with the security system (WIP NOT READY)
• Check stores (Catwomans Boutique will be ready in the next update and In a Flash delivery will be updated, The Question Trivia is listed in stores for now) (Extra note: Use The Question Trivia for easy free money)
• Upgrade the basement defenses and purchase T-Spheres. Will be updated in another build

Call System:

The character calling system is revamped. You can now:

• call characters and check their locations
• Set their schedules
• See if they are streaming on Titans Live (only at night)
• View the gallery (when it’s finished)

New UI:

Let me know what you guys think of the new UI, I’m not completely sold on the look but the functionality is great! I can make changes pretty quickly with the way its setup, so let me know if you have any problems with it or changes to features

Character Interactions:
So there weren’t too many changes character-wise other than updating them to work with the new UIs.

I did revamp a lot of the variables that are going to be used with the scenes in the next update so look out for major gameplay updates next.

As usual let us know if you find any major bugs or game breaking content.

Thanks for sticking around, it’s a lot of work to get done as one person but I’m finally ending the content drought with the next update!

Next Update:

• Scenes scenes SCENES. This will add a lot of playable content to your interactions with Raven. Now that schedules are fully set and trackable it’ll be easier to plugin other characters into the system as well. We’ll see if I can fit them in!
• Model updates. All characters in the game will be getting a revamp, prepare for some new 3D model updates after my short post-build vacation!
