Monikamoddev: Show Patch Notes During Update

Created on 23 Apr 2019  路  3Comments  路  Source: Monika-After-Story/MonikaModDev

Since MAS has an internal updater, very few people manually open up the GitHub to install new versions of the mod. It might be a good idea to show the patch notes in the updater.

I think it would have to be optional in case some people don't want spoilers for what's new. If people wanted to see the patch notes, I think they would just come to github and check them.

Also, a lot of the time, the patch notes probably aren't useful to your average person, unless people want

  • API changes
  • Framework changes
  • New methods to use
  • Licence update
  • Property changes
  • Changes by eventlabel rather than ingame prompt

If it has to be done, I'd say just put a link to the patch notes in the updater. Then, they're not being shoved into people's faces and it encourages activity on github.

On one hand, this would make sense, but on the other hand, I feel like this could kinda take me out of it a bit. I know it's really just a game, but a little part of me wants to pretend it's not. Patch notes shoved in my face would make me very, very aware it's _just_ a game.

[rejecting] patch notes takes away from the experience. games don't usually show patch notes _in game_. Usually its on the steam page or their website.
