Hello all, and happy new year!

We’re excited to be featured alongside many other fine narrative games in The Storyteller’s Festival!

The Storyteller’s Festival begins on January 29th 18:00pm (GMT)/10:00am (PST), and we’ll be live streaming Mask of the Rose on the 30th at 10:00pm (GMT)/14:00pm (PST). Hope to see some of you there!


We've also just released Daffodil: the latest update for Mask of the Rose, and one which will be the last for now.


Daffodil is mostly about bugfixing: bringing Mask of the Rose to a nice, tidy state so we can commence work proper on the console ports for PlayStation and Xbox.

See the post for the full patch notes, but here's a sample of what's included:

• Taught Griz to use the correct pronouns for Mr Fires.
  
• Convinced David to stop playing gooseberry during other people's sentimental conversations at the Feast.
  
• Revised what it means when the player selects that they dislike a person, so that it now means "I don't like them" and also "I'm not attracted": an improvement to clarity, if perhaps a disappointment to enemies-to-lovers tropers.
  
• Discouraged Harjit from bolting immediately after the player's confession of feelings, no matter how overwhelmed Harjit might be.
  
• Stopped Horatia from thanking the player for fulfilling her request when she never made such a request in the first place; gratitude can be carried to excess.
  
• Prevented Reginald from teleporting into the player's bedchamber during a personal conversation with Moss.
  
• Stopped Harjit from growling too many times in a row, no matter how fetching he finds the player.
  
• Prevented Archie from initiating a second seduction immediately after the first, though it pained us to correct this.
  
• Many typos and grammatical errors have been fixed.

Hello everyone!

The main purpose of 0.2.X updates will be bringing new content into the game.
Update 0.2.1 is the first stepping stone towards that goal.

Before adding new shops into the game, I wanted to address the construction process first, as it was confusing at times. The main reason for that was mostly separate building menus for shop layout construction and products construction. Once you had your shop constructed and you hired your cashiers, you then had to navigate to a separate product building menu.

Fixing this issue was fairly straightforward - the shop construction menu and product construction menu are now merged into one.


For already built shops, you can access this menu in 2 ways - through shop's entrance (the same way as products build menu in previous versions) or through shop's dashboard (this remains the same). Products are not required to be build in order to finish shop construction, meaning that you can still build layout for all your shops first, and then come back to them and build products later.

The next couple of updates will be more packed with these, but I wanted to sprinkle some new decoration for this update as well. For this, I've added 3 new floor designs. In combination, these allow you to creatively decorate floor with various shapes.

• Oak Tree
  
• Big Palm Tree
  
• Decorative Cactus

These two hotfixes focused on smaller bug fixes after 0.2.0 launch, but I wanted to highlight one thing in this update as well. Mall Craze now has support for DirectX 11. From received crash reports (Thank you for them and please continue sending them!), the main problem with random periodic crashes for some people seems to be DirectX 12 related. I've written various possible fixes in this new Crash Troubleshooting Guide.

New shops are right around the corner, with 0.2.2 being the first update that will feature a new shop! It is Tuesday today, so I should start with the creation process right away.

Thank you for your support, and take care!
- Milan, developer
