September 23rd, 2018: Progress Report
Hey everyone, Rem here with this week's Progress Report!
For the first half of last week, I've worked mainly on Karryn's Prison and I revamped/made a few big changes to the core logic of the code for the sex system.
Previously, Karryn can only use her sex skill (of which only kiss and handjob was implemented and available to everyone in the released alpha build) to either start a new sex position or continue the current available sex actions. I've changed the code to allow Karryn to add new participants to the sex scene manually. For example, Karryn's current sex position allows her to be able to give a blowjob and give a handjob with left hand. Now she can use the blowjob or handjob skill to add new people to the current sex position. Before as the player, you had no choice but to wait for enemies to join when they felt like it.
The second big change to the base code is that enemies can only have a maximum of one action per turn now. So what that means is if an enemy cums this turn, he can't do any more actions even if he hadn't done anything this turn before cumming. However, an enemy can still cum even if he already did something this turn. This might sound a little confusing to wrap your head around right now just by reading about it, but it should feel fluent and natural ingame for when an enemy can or can not act anymore.
The third big change to the base code is that I added a functionality to the code which allows an enemy to swap positions with the person who started the sex scene. For example, a thug is fucking Karryn and he ejaculates. Previously, the sex position would completely reset here. Now, if there is another thug who hasn't acted this turn yet, then he would take the position of the previous thug and maintain the current sex position. Honestly, something like this would probably happen less than 5% of the time since the conditions for it to occur are pretty rare. But I think it's nice when it does happen because it would make sense that it could happen.
After those modifications to base code, I also finished implementing footjobs into the game. Then for the rest of the week, I worked on Meltys Quest, Island SAGA, and Club Bifrost.
This week is going to be a heavy Club Bifrost focus week working alongside the developers, Midnight Pleasure, to continue to make the necessary changes for a testable and releasable version. As mentioned in my post yesterday, both Island SAGA and Club Bifrost will be released censor on Steam with adult content cut out, to be replaced by a free downloaded patch. This effort takes a lot of work and testing to complete, and well, nothing to it but to just do it!
