(1.14 week 7) I'm still writing
Hi guys!
Okay, this has been a big week. I have good news and bad news. What would you like first?
The good news is
you’re getting an extra quest in 1.14. The plan was originally to have one quest, of the same size as the Max and Connor quests in the previous two releases. Now there’s going to be two!
Why?
My first draft of the heroine’s first shift as a topless barmaid sucked. It was turning into a wall of text you just had to click through. Not sexy, not engaging. And basically,
not good enough: the scene where Jane Bond strips down to heels and a thong to serve drinks needs to be a belter, right?
So. This week I redesigned it, turning it into a series of mini-encounters, each with dialogue choices that allow you to characterise your heroine as flirty, aloof or professional. The aim is to simulate and let you play through the heroine’s first night of working topless in a seedy bar, instead of just dispassionately describing it.
I built it in the engine as a rough draft, and it’s
really fucking sexy IMHO. I’m very excited about including it in 1.14. This scene is much hotter than I thought it was going to be.
I intended to have this scene finished last week. The bad news, of course, is that
I’m still working on it – so the release is still 2-3 weeks away. I’ll do my very best to get it out this month, but it could be a few days into December.
What’s required? The structure is built and working, but it’s full of placeholder text that needs to be filled in (e.g. it says “Flirty dialogue option” instead of the actual words). I’m part way through that, and will try to finish it next week.
I'll report on whether I succeeded gloriously or failed ignominiously
next weekend.
Have a greta Sunday, everybody. I’m going to write my crabby ass off next week and try to get this thing
done. Sorry for the delay but it really is going to be worth it.
Aye aye, Captain.
