Dev Talk - PT Rewrite Progress
The Personal Trainer rewrite is going surprisingly well. On the coding side of things, more features are slowly trickling in. We now have a functioning visual character tracker on the map. The map will now display a character icon for main girls above the location they're currently at. Next up is implementing the same thing but for the navigation pane within each actual location.
The UI redesign was excruciatingly slow and painful, as UI design is not something I'm knowledgeable about. I bought Affinity Designer and spend a couple of days absorbing as much as I can and am pleased with the resulting minimalist design so far. It's still only the first iteration but already leaps above the original PT one.
I still need to finish implementing all of the navigation panes for each location as well as designing the main character index screen. This screen will serve the purpose of the previous replay gallery and hint screen, as well as provide additional information on each girl.
Once the UI stuff is under wraps, I can start implementing, testing and adjusting the planned core gameplay before revealing the intended direction. Personal Trainer has always been sort of confused on whether it wants to be a sandbox or a visual novel, so I'm hoping to implement fun core game mechanics centered around the gym and being a sleazy personal trainer.
