Thanks for the update Peter! Don't worry those icons look fine and appear to be perfectly functional. I'm sure it would be nice to have custom icons for each, but since that isn't your specialty it probably isn't worth your time to do so when these will work fine. If a UI designer becomes available for a reasonable price you can always replace them.

This reaction system looks even more complicated than I was anticipating. I can understand how large of an undertaking it would be to implement it.
Trying my best. For now - custom icons is not in my focus... I'd razer spend money on additional pictures for now.

So far things seems really good. But don't try to do every single technical/mechanical thing you wish to have at once or you'll end up burnt out. Can't wait for this and any future update. Keep it up

Hello everyone!

It's Peter with info about current state of a project.

From time-to-time I'm making small updates on our "wip" channel in Discord, but to make some summarize post is also important, since not all of you, folks, have Discord and our server there.)
What's done:
1. We fully finished 1 scene (little more than 4k words count) with all branches, which isn't easy.
It may looks small, but we started to do all 5 scenes from start, and basic scenes are ready(it was more than 20k of words).
2. Colorless images for scenes are finished with all needed angles.
What we working on currently:
1. Reactions for 2-nd scene.
2. Right now TAO works on colors for existing image.
3. Texts for "Reaction system" (once we'll finish that - I'll start to implement them in game).
What else:
Probably there will be more pictures since some of reactions lead to interesting branches of scene where I see place for more illustrations.
I still wasn't able to find UI designer for affordable money. So current appearance of new UI won't be it's final version. + I want to spend more from budget on illustrations and hot reactions, so You can enjoy it properly.
For now it's all.

With Love
Peter

Thanks for the update Peter. It sounds like it's worth the wait. I look forward to trying it. It's a very good game!

Actually that is how the real weapons work, but this is a steampunk game, so I think it is necessary preserve a certain coherence with the technological reality of the late nineteenth century. For example the only (semi or totally) automatic weapons available during the 1890 were the Maxim machine guns, so in a steampunk setting a submachine gun wouldn't be credible, but it would be credible a gatling-gun operated by a steam engine, because the first gatling-gun was invented during the American Civil War; even if it was manually operated.
What about weapons like the Tommy Gun? I'm sure you create liberties with that.

Probably worth noting that Gatling himself for his eponymous gun in 1893...

Also, for quite a long time most semiautomatics were comically easy to convert to full auto (some still are, but manufacturers and legislators both tend to frown on such designs nowadays) and might in fact do so spontaneously if certain parts of the mechanism wore out (the deliberate conversions ofc altered those bits intentionally). (including the Mauser C96) were given this treatment in the Great War and functioned as proto-SMGs, and the French used a as a de facto "zeroth generation" assault rifle.

From an historical point of view I can agree with you, but in my opinion a steampunk story must preserve its "patina" avoiding everything that could seems too modern; otherwise it would become some sort of hybrid among a steampunk and a dieselpunk setting.

P.S. If I'm not wrong the first full auto battle rifle was the Italian Cei-Rigotti Model 1900.

The developer of the game has found out a very cunning way to face the problem of how insert the lewd contents in his game, even with a lack of resources: he realise a tex based games and then he ask to his patreons what lewd/sex scene they want see illustrated. Maybe you could do the same thing.

I thought about this approach a lot. I guess It will be like that this time. I'm very tired from this endless tries to find artist without real money to pay for his work, and artists, that I can afford - don't want to take such complex tasks.(

I think he wants say the game is enjoyable, also without actual porn contents or he has mistaken thread.

The game is still a demo and various things will be rebalanced, rewritten or aren't completely implemented; those things are among the ones that need to be rebalanced, rewritten or properly implemented. For example in the Demo Release v.6, Peter has added the Monocle club and the corruption system.

Are you talking about the last public release (the 5.2f) or the last Patreon's release (the 6.0a)?
I would also suggest to share your saves, to help Peter to find the bug.
