Update
I'm approximately 33% of the way done with Part 3 of the 'Pool Girl' story. Development has been going well overall.
I implemented some of the suggestions from players:
- Hiring a lawyer to handle your legal issues and legal expenses (now that you are medium sized fish)
- Not getting booted out of the salon and medical center menus after performing one task
- Factory earnings overhaul
Factories
The main issue with factories was their scale. Some factories could have up to 10000 employees and the player only had to pay 500,000 caps or less to purchase it. In reality, a factory that size would cost millions and technology factories that size could cost up to a billion.
The scale of factories has been greatly reduced. The player is only able to purchase and run small factories now in Evil 2. Existing factories in save games are scaled down automatically. You can still make a lot once a factory is fully upgraded but even the perfect factory won't generate more than 30,000 caps a day roughly. The base cost of factories has also been greatly increased.
I feel it is much more balanced now but can fine tune it once players experience the next release.
Part 3
Part 3 of the 'Pool Girl' story takes a different turn than the previous parts. There will be some dark parts with the player being an asshole at times. Part 2 was a "feel good story" with the MC being a knight in shining armor. The MC does have an evil side to him.
The MC will flex his muscles some in Part 3 and not always in a positive way. There will be several twists to the story which you probably won't expect. I don't expect everyone to be happy about Part 3 but it should end well. Most of the story ideas came from skybarbie and I've just enhanced it and added things to it (as well as written it).
