- Some bugs fixed: Browser animations, The blue tent no longer freezes, Characters names bug ( Portuguese language), Harlequin appearing on the wrong route, Small correction in a Portuguese line and Small correction in one of Columbina’s lines! some bugs are still being investigated #tfc
- Once again, you have been invited to the circus. Jester and Doctor are curious to meet you, so don't keep them waiting. garula.itch.io/the-freak-ci... #tfc #thefreackcircus #newupdate
- Remember, everyone, I said Sunday, November 30, but that's according to my time zone! My time zone is UTC−3 (Brasília) Today is still the 29th for me, and at this moment I am still making minor corrections to a specific scene in the circus.
- This is the last weekly update before the update. My plan is to release the update this Sunday, November 30. After the release, I will probably still have corrections to make, because something always ends up slipping through the cracks. I will keep an eye on it... #tfc #thefreakcircus
- So let's say I'll be back to work on the next update sometime in January. I'm going to take some time to carefully work on the entire script, the rest of the designs behind the costumes (and everything hidden there), and get some rest. These last few weeks have been very busy, fixing...
- everything that was missing! I would have liked to launch the official store along with the update, but I don't think I'll be able to make it in time. I'll also be working on that these days and will post on Patreon first before officially launching the store!
- Hello everyone! First of all, I want to thank you all for the support and the kind comments! This whole week was just fixing and testing different parts of the game.A bunch of issues with dialogue, continuity, and sprites were found by the beta testers... #tfc #thefreakcircus
- so I’ve been working on those fixes! Over the next few days, I’ll be working on small corrections, translations, and sound testing! Once that’s all wrapped up, I’ll give you all a release date! Looks like ...
- this update is finally coming out this month!I'm curious to see if you'll be paying attention to all the details of this update!
- This week felt so long. I’ve been testing every part of the game nonstop and adding the sound effects I already have. Now I’m hearing Pierrot’s bell everywhere. I listened to it so much it’s haunting me!! Right now the testing phase is basically... #tfc #thefreakcircus
- checking every choice, because you know how one choice interferes with another. I need to be sure the right options lead to the right paths. Most of them are already fixed (except for one, still working on that one, I still don’t really know why it refuses to work)...
- I think I can say the update is coming out this month, unless something goes really wrong. But so far everything is moving forward nicely. Some sprites still need to be finished or fixed, and the game’s menu still has a few issues...
- I’m working on correcting. Wish me luck! I’m so excited I’m already at the final stage before release!
- I finally finished coding everything! So the entire script is now fully implemented! Right now it’s sitting at almost 4,000 lines of code and dialogue! Next, I’ll start running tests to make sure all the lines and choices work as they should.... #tfc #thefreakcircus
- This part’s long and tiring having to watch every single scene over and over just to be sure nothing breaks. Once all those tests are done, I’ll move on to generating the translations and working on the sound! So, depending on how these tests go...
- I might be able to start talking about release dates next week. You never know one specific choice could crash the whole game, haha… it’s happened before.
- About translations, after I release this update, I’ll carefully go over things with the people who volunteered to help with the Spanish, Russian, and Japanese versions. These new languages need to be added more carefully, so I’d rather handle that closely after the update’s out...
- They’ll be added later through small patches, along with proper credits in the game!
- I’ve been working on the Blue Tent! I’ve finished almost all of Jester’s sprites they just need a few final tweaks. As for Ticket Taker’s tent, dialogue-wise it isn’t as long as the others, but it has lots of choices and branching situations... #tfc #thefreakcircus
- In other words, it’s a big chunk of code with plenty of variables that’ll need to be properly tested to make sure every possible outcome works as it should! I’m really curious to see what you’ll all do there. I’ll give you the same hint again for when you play: ...
- pay close attention to things, even the ones your eyes tend to skip over. Some things are hard to reach unless you’re observant or stubborn. I’m in the final stretch of this last tent, so in the next updates we’ll start talking about release dates!
- I finally finished Jester’s tent at least the coding part. There are still plenty of his sprites to wrap up, and then I’ll start working on the blue tent! This is the last act of this update, so once I’m done coding it, I’ll move on to final... #tfc #thefreakcircus
- testing with my beta testers and start working on the sound effects (the good thing is that part usually doesn’t take too long). I also want to give a heads-up that more content might be added to the trigger warning list. I’ll double-check with the testers first...
- but please always read the trigger list before playing! And just a reminder, this update is NOT the full game. It’s just the introduction of the remaining characters and a bit more story. Unfortunately, the Purple Tent has a lot of spoilers...
- so this week’s little sneak peeks had to stay hidden. I’ll be able to show a bit more with the last tent!
- I’ve got some good news about the progress! I started working on the purple tent last week and I’ve already coded around 60% of it. Most of the dialogue, transitions, and effects are done!Though I still have a lot of sprite work to do for that tent... #tfc #thefreakcircus
- But if I keep up this pace, next week I’ll already be working on the blue tent the last one, and probably the trickiest when it comes to coding. Jester’s design so far fits perfectly with the scene and his personality...
- I didn’t have to make any adjustments for now, and I really hope it stays that way! I’m so curious to see what you’ll think of their introduction Jester and the Doctor, haha.
