So far things are going fantastic with getting ready for a Gold Build release of High Tail Hall! Here's a little bit of what's been going on to get HTH into early release.


The new HUD displays region and zone the player is. Sections of which will dynamically fade in and out depending on the characters location or activity.



There are text prompts at the bottom for interacting with the characters.


Chatting with characters no longer loads a separate screen, the dialog menu shows up in real time.


The loading screen now only appears going in and out of sex scenes with the characters as well as going into another zone. It also accurately displays the last date the scene was updated.


You can now pause the game by pressing ESC or clicking the Menu button. Pause will come into play later on in development.


There are new controls for scenes that use either the mouse or keyboard.

There is now an exit key for scenes is a temporary quick escape, we plan to expand on that later.


There's also the ability to go underwater with added water effects to the camera. Swimming isn't active yet, it's basically walking underwater.


For additional information you can also consult the guide characters in game!


All of this is currently active in the Alpha build for Patreon Alpha Team members.


What is left before a gold release?

Currently we're working on the climax animations for existing characters and a couple of additional updates and fixes to dialog.


Four characters are planned for the launch of the Gold build they are:


At launch, each character will have one scene that is translated over from the Flash build. We will announce what the schedule is for transferring all the scenes from the Flash build into Unity after we have launched Gold, when we'll have a better idea of how quickly the process will go. Once all scenes from Flash are converted, then we will resume expanding scenes for other characters.
