・一部不具合の修正を行いました。

This is a fairly large change from the last time there was a 'default' playtest build, and that's because we're releasing for Steam NextFest soon and a bunch of changes have happened in the meantime! Some highlights:

• An entirely revamped map with more assets and different paths
  
• Dynamic music
  
• Updates to the cutscenes and skip logic
  
• Lots of performance improvements
  
• Adding portrait expressions for all the characters
  
• Various UI changes, especially for added accessibility on controller.

Please let me know if you see any issues! The map is 'set' for the demo now and won't go through any major changes, but if anything is broken, we still have time to fix them.

Hello there, Billies!

There Will Be Ink has been updated with a new text system, performance improvements, and various fixes.

I've been away from the project for a while, as I had to take some time off to focus on another project (twins, yikes!), but I've recently been dipping my toe back into There Will Be Ink. When I first set out to make TWBI, I was a pretty terrible programmer, and it was meant to be a very small "practice" project. Now, I'm a very slightly less terrible programmer, and with its ever-expanding scope the game has become quite complex and cumbersome to manage. There are a lot of things I would do differently if I were making the game from scratch today, but that is neither here nor there, nor anywhere! I do love this silly old game, and I've put a lot of work recently into totally redoing how the game handles text. Everything in the game was previously hardcoded, which makes localization nearly impossible. There are still a few quirks to work out, but I've reworked the game to support localization. I don't have any official announcements in that field and only something minor planned, so don't get your hopes up, but also, stay tuned! There are likely some new bugs in the game relating to these text conversions, which I'll be watching out for, but please drop a note here if you noticed anything peculiar.

I've also put some work into optimizing performance and fixing some bugs. You may acquire some Steam achievements next time you fire up the game, as some were saving locally but not syncing with Steam.

Free time is limited these days, but I have a lot of ideas yet for TWBI. I have no roadmaps or timelines, but keep an eye out here for further updates. Cheerio!

• Redid text system, to support multiple languages
  
• Various performance improvements
  
• Revised some game text
  
• Updated main text font
  
• Slightly increased chance of Heroes bleeding out instead of instantly dying

• Fixed some Steam achievements not being acquired/sync'd (should now sync when loading game)
  
• Fixed crates continuing to move if game paused when in mid-air
  
• Fixed some stat tracking with custom unit names
  
• Fixed "Sea Unworthy" (sink a ship) Achievement not triggering when sinking a ship with a grenade/RPG

p.s. If you're into historical strategy games (and aren't busy playing Civ7!), an Old World DLC I'm lead designer on is coming out next month.

In the modern gaming landscape, the integration of advanced AI technology has revolutionized the way players interact with virtual worlds. One such innovative concept is the development of a zombie-killing game where AI serves as a powerful ally to players. This game leverages cutting-edge AI capabilities to enhance gameplay, making it more immersive, strategic, and dynamic.

Game Overview
The game, tentatively titled "Zombie Killer," places players in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies. The primary objective is to survive and eliminate hordes of undead enemies. Unlike traditional zombie games, this title introduces an AI companion that actively assists the player in combat, strategy, and exploration.

Key Features
AI Companion:

Combat Assistance: The AI companion can identify and target zombies, providing real-time support in battles. It can use weapons, set traps, and even call for reinforcements.
Strategic Planning: The AI analyzes the environment and enemy patterns, offering optimal routes and tactics to maximize survival chances.
Resource Management: The AI helps in managing inventory, suggesting which items to use or discard based on the current situation.
Adaptive Gameplay:

The AI adapts to the player's playstyle, learning from past actions and improving its assistance over time. This ensures a personalized and evolving experience.
The game environment dynamically adjusts based on player progress, introducing new challenges and scenarios that keep the gameplay fresh and engaging.
