Sneak Peek: Upgrading the Club
🕑 Added 2019-11-21 01:12:40 +0000 UTCThe club is getting some love this patch as well. This version will add a DJ assignment, as well as dance floors for both your residents and your slaves. It also adds slot machines and keeps the old bar furniture, so you can control exactly what kinds of entertainment are available.
The final version will also add a blackjack table, which will require a slave to act as a dealer.
While I'm here, I'd like to give a quick overall note about progress:
I've done some thinking, and decided that the planned 4X overhaul might do more harm than good. One of the important characteristics of an adult game is the slow pacing, and a RTS layered on top would make things too frantic. I'll be incorporating some of the ideas, but not in such a dramatic fashion.
That brings me to the good news though: The last patch represents a pretty big turning point in the project. I'm now officially done with major changes (barring the unlikely event of a stretch goal being reached). Everything going forward breaks down into three basic categories:
- Content (bondage clothing, events, and cutscene environments that don't have significant code attached)
- Polish (upgrading the economic report, fetish interview, main UI, etc)
- Bugfixes (of which about 70% are related to character display and animation).
The goal is to finish this project in six months or so to coincide with some IRL events, but we'll see. I think it's possible, but code is notoriously hard to estimate, and I'd rather go over that deadline than leave it unfinished.
The learning process in these last couple patches has made progress slow, which is stressful with the tri-weekly release cycle I've been trying to maintain. Because of that, I definitely pushed some stuff out before it was ready, which I regret doing. Luckily, I don't expect anything still on the list to reduce the game's stability, so it should all be uphill from here.
Thanks everyone who's stuck around this long for your patience. We're in the home stretch now.
