Version 1.2 of “Memoirs of an Angel (2010)” is now available!

I know, I know, everyone who was going to play this game probably has by now (I can’t believe it’s been over 5 years since its first release!). But I’m working on building my professional portfolio and thought I’d dust off some of my old projects, make sure they’re presentable.

I didn’t add any extra scenes or content, so if you’ve already played it, feel free to skip this update. But if not, now is as good a time as any to jump on board!

What’s new in this version:

• Updated to the latest version of Ren’py (I think I caught all the bugs this caused, but if you see something funky, let me know).
• A complete overhaul of the GUI, including game menus, the gallery, and the status screen that shows up at the end of each chapter. No more default Ren’py menus or graphics made in Microsoft Word. (And the world rejoices!)
• For you completionists out there, I added a new “Endings” panel to the gallery so you can tell exactly which endings you’ve unlocked and how many more you still need to find.
• The battle mini-game has been revamped. It still looks the same on the outside, but the programming behind it is completely different. Rather than critical hits and misses being tied to specific turns, it’s randomized (based on different percentages for each character). In other words, it’s much more difficult now! (Remember you can always forfeit and get your energy back if you’re about to lose or just rollback like a cheater…).

This will probably be the last update I do on this game. Playing through it and noticing its flaws really made me want to go through and add some scenes to flesh out the story more…but that’s the whole purpose behind the remake: to regain some of that lost potential.

In the meantime, I’m working on a short, old-school text-based game that takes place in the same world (specifically Pyralis). It does tie into the Memoirs series, but I won’t say how quite yet. 😉 So be on the lookout for that.
