The Little Things
When I play a video game one of my favorite moments is when the game acknowledges things that I have done. Where they have effects beyond what is obvious. That is something that I try to add in every moment in How to be a Hero. I want anyone who plays my game to feel like they shaped the world in some way.A decent chunk of the writing is actually taking into account such things. Look at the above example. This is a scene that plays early in the P...
Free (And Slightly New) Version Released 0.1i1

It adds an updated gallery and some little bonus stuff that I wanted to get done along with minor bug fixes.Link will be in the OP.Changelog(NEW) Gallery UpdatedQoL Changes:Shop: Rewrote the script.

Cockatrice Concept
A devious enemy that appears on the mountain tops under very specific conditions. She's also going to be the first enemy in the game that inflicts status debuffs.She's also the first futa character. There will be hints on how to get (or avoid) her in Alma's shop.
Why the massive delay?
0.1h and 0.1i have a large chunk of time between them. Larger than any other pause before them. I am deeply sorry for the delay but my life has been taking several turns and none of them are bad. I've gotten new work to do, potentially looking for a new place to live. All good things.Sadly, this has cost me the time to work on my game.As you know I am just a single person working on this and so when there are delays in my life the entire thin...
How to be a Hero 0.1i
Old saves should work. Maybe. This is a large update and it's kinda a crapshoot. I'd suggest starting a fresh save.DL Link: https://mega.nz/#!hNgnhCQJ!kr-MhJjvSYA-47TJdCdR1ilA5FKWP1Yjec703LY-xm0ChangelogQoL Changes:Shop: Rewrote the script.

Work And Work: Release Date Soon
As some of you may know I have a job outside of this game. The job is wrapping up for the season which means that I have had to spend a lot of time not doing game work. Things got a bit out of hand but now that stuff is winding down for the year I can focus on this project a lot more. I thank you all for your patience.I plan on getting a new update out 10 days time, if not less. This will contain quite a bit of content that is hopefully worth the...

Save Compatiblity And How It Will Work
As the title says, this post is about save compatibility and how it will work. Basically, the game will be completely compatable with all versions from here on out. How is this done? Magic.But, it requires YOU to do something. And that is, don't skip versions. For example, a save from 0.1e will work perfectly fine with 0.1f.But, 0.1e saves will not work with, say, 0.1g.A fresh game will, obviously, have no problems. Why does this work?Short a...

Creating An Enemy
The other day I did a stream to show off and time the creation of a single enemy from start to finish. This included doing the art for them and making sure they worked properly in game. This did -not- include any writing.In general, it takes a few hours of work to have one enemy be at a game-ready state.First I do a doodle, some concept art. This gives me just the rough idea of the enemy. Next is a much larger doodle that covers any other details...
First Enemy: The Werewolf
A strong enemy who can heal herself, restore lust damage, and deal it to the player. She's tricky to beat so be sure to upgrade your attack before taking her on!
