  Big Events, Small Fixes

  Hi everyone,I wanted to shared some of the last events that the game  was featured and some of the future ones! Last month, I was in New York  and I participated with the game in playtest events on Boshi's Place and Wonderville. It was a great experience to meet the NYC scene and to receive feedback on the game ! Also last weekend, Family Reunion was on theLeftfield collection at MCM Birmingham. A weird and experimental 16 game selection! Right now, the game is on display at the CyberFrames: Extra Lives exhibit on Boston CyberArts! And for the future, Family reunion is selected for the Aesthetica Film Festival Game awards in York, UK! Based on the recent feedback I've been receiving (thanks a lot for that!), I made the most urgent changes. A new update will be available for September/October with more major stuff. Patch Notes: Bugs fixed:Title Screen stuck on SafariMaster Volume allowing some to bypass some sounds.Small changes:The log now shows again some of the previous texts. Clicking on the log, let you stop the typewriter effect and fully loads the sentence. Also change how the memory (expanded log works).Small UI changes on the Tabs from Mind/You/History. More to come! Thanks for playing, waibinin

  Dramatic update!

  Hi everyone,first of all thanks for playing the game! This month, the game reached over 8000 plays on Itch! I received lots of comments about it.Based on your feedback, I've just released a new update for the demo! The main focus was on the event system. A New events added: Questioning, Toast & Drama events.Improved the regular Family Intervention events to have more RPG elements on it. Now depending on your luck, stats and upgrades you can bypass your family interventions (very low chance at first). Chatty has more chance on doing it. Trait answers now can also fail.Events on table: there is some chance for family members to appear on the table to disturb you.Good events:  you can now unlock good family events triggered in a \ ambience  that helps you.Music:New main track by Willy Fishman! I love how it reflects the game. As the audio now is way more pro than the one I did, the other tracks contrast a lot more. So I did some mixing and used silences instead of dramatic music. Willy is a Musician and Artist from Buenos Aires. I'm a fan of his work and I think it's a perfect fit for the game.  Here is his last album:Exploration:Change the images of the exploration! Wanted to keep the doodle aspect of the original ones, but New Objects:Photos and notes. Grabbable objects that gives you some hints  and are reusable. To be further developed in future updates. UI Updates:New idea: "Mind Progress" let you see your ideas as progress bars!Changed a bit the Table status to display a bar showing how is scaling the stat.Improved the feedback on your actions on your portrait and and the table with new sounds and portraits images."Your parents are distracted!..." text now appears on the table zone-Improved the Family Area. Chatty can chat with them.BugsFixed a bug that didn't stored your favorite audio settingsAlso I Made a new trailer:For the next update, I want to focus more on writing.You can help sharing your family dinner table experiences here: https://forms.gle/gK3pG4fkP8...

  Family Reunion: The Appetizer (Demo) Gamescom Latam Update

  Hi everyone, a couple weeks ago, I've been In Sao Pablo at Gamescom Latam. I was finalist for Innovation and Best Latin American game (I didn't win in any of those T_T) and the game was beautifully displayed among the other finalists. The Big Festival Nominees games were spread around the event in four sections and mine was on the Open Zone, where I shared the space with other games that allow you to shape the world around you.(Love this pic of Frieren playing the game. Elf's time perception meet child's time perception)I also got interviewed by James Archer from Rock Paper Shotgun (!!)  and he wrote this article that describes perfectly the game experience. You can read it here.  During the event, I met a lot of people and got feedback from the people testing it, developers and publishers which ended up in the changes for this update (more to come!). Here are the changes:Unfolding the log- It has lots of information so I started to spread that info on other areas. Mind Notifications are now a separate thing.Pacing:  - Exploration comment only appears if it's disabled.- The introduction now waits for clicks before moving on.- Sometimes events will trigger even if you don' click anything.Elements distribution and mouse feedback: -Made the POCKET, MIND and History sections to unfold to the top. It gives more space and allows to check the table status and your status all the time.- Table elements now present feedback when hovering. Also clicking around the table.- Clicking with the mouse around makes a tiny animation.- Added tags to define the areas (need to check the texts to standardize naming).Bugs- Fixed a bug that caused a crash to desktop when trying to reload a game and sometimes exit (hopefully).Gameplay- Now family interventions has one more option to choose by default.Hopefully in the next update I'll focus more on new content. Thanks for the support! Leandro Waibe aka WaibininDeveloper of Family Reunion.
