Post-jam updates


First of all, thank you to everyone who has already played Doctrix and to those who have left comments.

My main goal in this jam was to have a stronger story and character development than in last year's entry and I'm happy to see your kind words on this front. While I was generally happy with the challenge on the minigames side of things, I appreciate it may have fallen victim to the limited time for playtesting. I don't want this to drive people away from experiencing the story so the v1.1 update includes a few tweaks:

  • Story mode: This is the big change, including faster story progression and reduced minigame difficulty. Switching between Story mode and Traditional mode can be done at any time from the in-game items menu.
  • Slightly faster item acquisition when playing in Traditional mode.
  • A new Sewing minigame: The original minigame (Precision) is still here and its difficulty has been toned down a little. The new mode (Speed) should mitigate issues of lag caused by computer performance.
    • Poor responsiveness of the needle was reported by a couple of people. I believe this to be down to how RPG Maker handles inputs during movement. If you still encounter this problem, try holding down the directional keys when you want to change direction; this should register the input at the soonest opportunity.
  • Massage minigame: Difficulty has been slightly lowered, particularly around the complaints of a lack of reference points.
  • A few minor bug fixes and corrections.
