It has been three months since the release of the latest version of this game and no one mentioned that the party starting position might be kinda messed up? JESUS CHRIST this is embarrassing.

Please, if you tried starting a new game and wound up spawned in this weird room immediately, download the newest version that is being put up right now. Thank you for your time and sorry for the inconvenience.

Valerie's Letter is the most pain-staking RPG Maker project I've ever done. I've put forth a lot of love and effort into polishing this game to provide an atmospheric, unsettling horror experience while keeping good gameplay in mind. This game was a mess in its early years and I have gone through many different phases to ensure it "feels" and plays right. Total development time is around five years, and in that five years, there has also been clashes here and there with life events that greatly delayed the game.

What am I getting at here? Well, I feel like I'm being ignored. I see a hefty download count, but I am not getting much feedback for the work I've done. Can I say my own game is amazing and remarkable? Well, probably not since that would be very pretentious, but regardless I've tried to accomplish these things and make the game have something special - something that could make it stand out. There are many games that have pretty, decorated pages, but do these pages really enhance the game itself? I don't believe this is something people have to do to gather interest in their game.

I feel like I'm at my wit's end here. I've gone through years and years on the internet being unnoticed despite my efforts and contributions. I hoped making something like this would really bring up some much-needed attention I craved for for a long time now, but with the lack of the slightest peep I feel my efforts go to waste.

I should stop before this gets too long. In the end, here's what I need to say: Somebody, please say something!

Prepare yourselves. A few more fixes here and there and the game will be complete and released. Thank you all for your patience.

Welcome to yet another VL blog! In this blog I will share that I have now implemented a little system where it shows you how much ammo you have for a weapon when your cursor is over it.



Last time you had to press a key while having your cursor over the weapon in order to find out how many mags you had for the gun, as well as bullets left in the mag. I'm trying to make this game a little less painful game-play wise, after some feedback and suggestions.

I also fixed quite a funny glitch with the shotgun that let a player be able to generate buckshot infinitely while reloading the shotgun. You'd have to reload first, and while doing so, go into the menu. The buckshot pack variable isn't affected at all when you do this, because once the one-second increments of loading the shotgun with buckshot is over, that's when the number is lowered. The reloading is put to a halt when you go into the menu, therefore the sequence isn't finished, therefore you don't lose any buckshot packs. Just something funny I wanted to share.

I've also added in a couple new weapons - ones that won't be firearms either.

And need I mention a special guest?

I just wanted to make a little blog post to celebrate Valerie's Letter achieving 10k views. :) I've got a couple updates to report to you guys.

I am currently implementing a system in which a handful of NEW ENEMIES will need to swing in order to hit your character. I am also considering implementing an objective system to the main menu.

Here's a screenshot of a mysterious creature that stalks the floors of Scarborough Mansion...



Still plenty of things to do, but I'm glad I got this system working. Have a wonderful week.
