Time for a new update.

I received some new portraits from a member of the community that include the unlockable characters and vary by mood. These were donated, rather than commissioned. I’ve set those to the default portraits, but you can still access the old portraits in the options menu.

No new scenes in this update, but it has some good stuff. There are a lot of balance fixes, major changes in the mood AI, and an overhaul of how items are handled. I’ve made it much easier to add consumables that buff or debuff. I’m looking for ways to improve how other types of items are handled, but that may not be possible.

Welcome to the new site!

I know it looks a lot like the old site, but now I’m paying for hosting. This means I get a proper domain name and that I can install plugins. Specifically, I installed a Stripe Plugin so I can accept and process donations. I’ve verified it’s working, but if you run into any issues with the donation form, please let me know. I can refund donations using my Stripe account if necessary.

If you’ve played a recent version of Night Games, you’ve seen that I’ve commissioned a couple images for the game. I have two more commissions in progress that I’m paying for out of pocket, but for additional images, I’m counting on donations. Each time I reach enough donations to pay for a commission ($20-$40 depending on the image content), I’ll reach out to an artist to have another image drawn.

The donation form includes a field for what image you’d like to see added next. You can suggest a specific skill, a character, or you can just say you don’t care. I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to accommodate everyone, but I’ll try to take donor requests into account whenever possible. The weight I give requests will be based on the amount donated rather than the number of donations, so 5 donations of $1 won’t get any more weight than a single donation of $5 (It would actually count for less, since Stripe charges a fee for each transaction).

If you’re not interested or able to donate, don’t worry. Night Games will remain free and available to everyone.
