Yay! So happy! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Glad to see this game being worked on again!

So right now I am working, but I’m reading through what I’ve finished already and fixing little mistakes. Changing some words, adding little bits here and there, nothing major. Won’t take me all day at least, and I got past the Healer part I was stuck on at least.

Anything specific you guys want to see coming up in the shelter? That isn’t already planned and/or added already I mean.

I’m going to guess we’re going to have a lot of opportunities to increase our stats in the shelter throughout the weeks, like agility or strength, along with intelligence as our dog character learns new tricks?

As for what I’m curious to see? Honestly, I kinda want to know what’s up with Jury; little fluffball seems twice as vicious as some of the bigger dogs there…honestly kind of wondering if he’s gonna snap and attack either one of the people, or one of the dogs at some point.

In the Shelter: Commands, Behavior training, & starting in week 3 you will interact with other dogs

As for Jury, he’s a Shiba mix whose humans purposely broke both his legs when he was a pup. He’s seen the darkest side of humans (he’s about 3 years old, been from abusive home to abusive home) and hates humans with a passion. He is actually a mate choice later on, but it’s kind of hard to befriend him & learn his history.

Something new (this was discovered in A Dragon’s Life, I am bringing it over):

Scars & Injuries, built like an inventory. Dogs can comment on these, as may humans. There are a lot, because dogs fight & get injured and especially for strays, may not get to healer (vet) in time!

Ooh! I like that idea! Hmm, maybe scars can have different effects depending on your path? Like as a stray it could be a sign of “hey! I have tons of scars! I’m a badass that needs respect!” but if you’re say, a show dog, it’s more detrimental.

As for expectations? Really, I am very interested in more new character interactions and events besides the stats stuff. Nothing really specific, I just really like how you wrote the characters and any alone time spent getting to know them is appreciated. Really, that’s all I am going to ask for for now ;D

So just uploaded the new files!!! Changes, additions, ect listed below

What’s New:

Will there be a save option soon? I don’t mind replaying it, but I would like a save option so I can pick an different choice.

@hexfur I’m confused, the description says there are 30 coat colors to choose from, but the coat colors seem to be random. Am I missing the option to choose my coat and eye colors?

118

I believe you can only customize your dog yourself if it’s a mutt, everything else is randomized for you.

Wounds are temporary. They will either heal on their own or with help from other dogs, humans, or a vet. Each wound will drain your health and possibly stamina for a certain length of time. Some wounds also prevent escape through certain choices, prevent certain fighting moves, have a lasting impact in convo’s, and sometimes lead to scars. (Ex: Head wound bleeds too long without treatment, suddenly you have a facial scar. Or sometimes a Head Wound can lead to a Torn Eye or even Blindness)
Torn Eyes do not automatically mean you are blind
