Progress report
As always, TL;DR/full task list can be found at the bottom of the post for easier reading.
I had a two task focus in terms of background NPCs this week. First, I simplified the randomisation system as I went WAY overboard with my initial implementation. It was a remnant from a different prototype used as a base for this project and should've been reworked from the start but whatever, at least it's fixed.
My second job was to start populating the new locations - so far I've added NPCs to the restaurant, weapon store and the inn in Tolbana. I also vastly increased the number of random NPCs in the Town of Beginning's plaza (it might still feel on the low side due to randomisation but should be much better than before).
Next was light and shadow layer creation. I finished layers for all the new maps (sans overworld as that doesn't really need them) and reworked ones for the blacksmith's interior in Town of Beginnings. They ain't perfect but they are as good as they're going to get with my current skill level and creation process. Should do their job well enough at least.
Here are some samples:
Besides that, I finished exporting dialogue renders in the updated art style - still need to cut them up for modular use but that's a quick task so I'm not worried about it.
I may or may not mentioned before that these updated renders will still be just placeholders in the upcoming prototype. In the long run I'm debating between two different approaches on how to handle dialogue pictures:
Last but not least, I reworked Asuna's H stats screen. I grouped values into specific sections and added Kirito's data to help with making decisions in the future. It currently looks like this:
Some of the values here might seem redundant so I'd like to briefly explain my thought process behind them for clarity.
Remaining requirements for the next release:
Edit: Added some dungeon screenshots since I forgot to do that initially. So yeah, more pictures!

I may or may not mentioned before that these updated renders will still be just placeholders in the upcoming prototype. In the long run I'm debating between two different approaches on how to handle dialogue pictures:
- Expansion of the current system - multiple poses, each has an option to display any emotion on character's face. More work, some combinations probably won't be used.
- Persona-like - poses tied to specific emotions (faces). Less work, less variety.
Last but not least, I reworked Asuna's H stats screen. I grouped values into specific sections and added Kirito's data to help with making decisions in the future. It currently looks like this:
Some of the values here might seem redundant so I'd like to briefly explain my thought process behind them for clarity.
- Asuna:
- Love - how much Asuna loves Kirito, affects her willingness to cheat but doesn't completely block such scenarios.
- Arousal - how horny and close to orgasm Asuna is.
- Lust - how used Asuna is to erotic actions, this value is used as a limit to check for orgasms (if Arousal >= Lust then it's reached).
- Inhibition - willingness to do more "advanced" H stuff.
- Partners - number of people Asuna fooled around with (willingly or not).
- Kirito:
- Love - how much Kirito loves Asuna and how willing he is to forgive certain actions.
- Trust - how much Kirito trusts Asuna, i.e. how easily he'll believe rumours about her and go along with her more dangerous or suspicious decisions.
- Arousal - how horny Kirito currently is. Affects his availability for Asuna or chances to take measures into his own hands (sometimes literally).
- Experience - number of sexual acts with Asuna specifically or in general (as in including solo and possible cheating scenarios), haven't decided yet.
- Experiences:
- Number of acts participated in specific category.
- Vaginal and Anal categories are planned to include every action taken with that part of the body (it might be full-on sex, fondling, licking or whatever else will make it in the future).
- Climaxes - OK, this section should be self-explanatory.
Remaining requirements for the next release:
- Finish adding mobs and background NPCs to new maps.
- Implement 2 quests to make use of the new locations.
- Clean up dev elements.
