I fixed it, but I also fucked up with my development process as I released the latest version and then went full steam ahead anyway instead of waiting a week for bug reports. I could go back and fix it on an old file, but I decided to just press on and get the new version out with new content instead - I'm hoping to have it out in January.
Thank you for your kind comment. I considered it as she was only supposed to be a small part of the game, but was fun to write and has become a mainstay for the science path. But I'm sticking to my guns for now, as the design choice is so people can focus on the content they prefer. Military has more rape and violence, science is mind control/hypno type stuff and diplomat is just more sex/debauchery. There will be cross over of course, and the idea you had about ALICE taking over the body during fights or influencing your mind is on the table for the next chapter believe it or not.
Awesome to hear this and looking forward to it. Very curious to see what you wind up doing with ALICE (she's so fun). She makes for a great opportunity of naughty debauchery. The vision you have for each of the paths is one of the things that makes them so much fun for replayability. They have a great fresh feel to them so definitely stick to your guns on that.
No worries. Real life always comes first. Take the time you need so it keeps being enjoyable. Nothing worse than rushing out something that you later regret.Sorry for late response, I've been super busy and work on the game has slowed despite being very close to a beta for the last month
I have no idea what I will do with ALICE in all honesty. I have several options on the table. The current idea is that she integrates properly with Kayla once you reach Mars, at which point she normalises and serves her purpose in helping you explore yourself and fulfil your missions. The other options involve keeping her as she is and then later in the game you either have to get rid of her, merge with her or let her take control, then the final mission is you playing as ALICE within Kayla's body. One option is similar to the last one, except you get an injection of some kind which reduces her so she doesn't become too overbearing and you get a similar choice in the end game. The initial idea was that she would be removed once you got away from Earth, she was only ever meant to be a small part of it and a tribute to TOTDC RAGS game. But she was too much fun to write and people liked her so I kept her. My biggest problem and regret is that I called her ALICE and used the same actress, but mdq was fine with it.
There will be a bad ending involving her added in the future version. She will also be a reoccurring character.
Have you tried being more realistic with your abilities instead of being months off in your estimates?Hello folks
I will be releasing a small beta of the new prologue chapter today for patreon subs that will take place in your last days of school life. It is just the first part which has some foreplay scenes but nothing too risqué, the second part of this prologue will have a ton of sex scenes planned with and without the player that I'm excited to write. But I consider the first half mostly complete - however I am always open to more suggestions and ideas for this section.
In a week or two, I will release it for the public which you can find on the Discord. Depending on my availability, I will be aiming for a full release at the end of April but this will become more clearer in the next two weeks.
Thanks everyone
The beta was released at that time for the public. The chapter was finished at the end of April. I got limited feedback therefore I wasn't happy with what I'd produced so far due to a mechanic and coding disconnect with the new prologue vs the rest of the game. I've gone back to starting from scratch and informed people who care a few weeks ago about that. I won't be releasing any new versions until the overhaul is in the bag. I also work on a second game to test features I'd like in AC to see how they work in practice.
I just respond in the tone that they were talking in.After Colony
I don't think Omnius intended to insult you. I think is just that frustration you get when you like something, you want more of it but there is none, and then you see how long to wait to get it.
On the other hand, I had this boss who used to tell me "perfect is the worse enemy of good" when I kept polishing the same graphic over and over again instead of delivering it to the customer for approval... and he was right.
Now get from both paragraphs what you will
Cheers
