Weekly status update! "I-wish-I-did-a-bit-more" edition
🕑 Added 2016-10-24 15:03:03 +0000 UTCI did add/improve certain elements, but I still didn't get some solid time to work with no interruptions. Maybe I should put some extra time in this week to recover the lost time. Anyway, I did get to work on some entries on my "to-do" list, and I worked on adding more content, so I can't really say it went too poorly. This week's changelog includes:
improved detect magic "on screen" detection;
Added some interactive elements to the player's house;
Added hint to the use of detect magic on the slime quest;
Option to "postpone" Carla's path and willpower training after HP cap is reached (it will cost "only" 50 gold);
Now to really start the cowgirl path, you need 85 willpower or lower when working in the farm. You get a new scene if you are a little "rebellious"; and there are two more scenes/events for going down this path.
There might be some minor adjustments missing from the list, but these are the main points. I have also worked a little on a possible system to make it easier to use layered images for the protagonist's bust when it comes up. The idea is to "automate" some of the process, so that I might be able to use different bust sizes,
have piercings show up, tattoos, maybe add some customization options
for eye and hair color, etc. It's not impossible (far from it), but there are a few annoyances I have to work around, and if I go through with it, I'll have to track down all the instances where I currently use the bust to direct the game to the new system, and I'll also need to create the parts to be used with the layered system. The real problems would be for any illustrations I might commission for the sex scenes (there is just no way to properly account for all the changes in these,
since they would be unique, with different angles each time) so people might have to settle down for a more "vanilla" look in these.
Honestly, I dislike inconsistencies like these, and that's why I am not full on
board with creating the layer system, but I figured if I manage to nail how it will work, I might as well experiment with the possibility. There could also be the possiblity to use a limited number of "stock" illustrations for sexual situations, and apply the layer system on these as well, but that seems a little too much work for the reward (which is to say, sub-par variety in exchange for customization).
Anyway, let me know if you have any ideas about this in the comment, and stay tuned for next week's status update! ^_^
P.S.
Last time I checked the polls, I got 2 people telling me they didn't receive access to the correct number of polls. If they weren't joking, please contact me with a message here on Patreon, so I can try to figure out what's wrong. I thought the two posts I made for the different polls should be visible to the appropriate people, but maybe that's not the case.
Also, if anyone has suggestions about this voting system (even based from other patreons they support), please do let me know, I would obviously like for this system to be as good as possible, so I am willing to hear everyone's thoughts.
