Weekly update: Ava
Added 2019-12-10 18:55:22 +0000 UTCAva has 5 new body shapes ranging from 5'5" to 6'3".
Holiday Sprint!
I'll be using the Holiday break, to do a coding sprint on the next build. Hopefully we will have a release that includes gifting and inventory (for Oliver and Major NPCs) How gifting will work, is basically on holidays and birthdays Oliver will have an extra conversation Item to make a gift.
will it be:
- Spice?
- Money?
- New items?
- New Items containing spice that cost money?
- Something unexpected?
We'll see... And then each NPC will have a usage pastern for the item depending on what it's alleged purpose is. Olivia might finally use Oliver's own money to take him to dinner... Ava might save her spice for a special occasion... Charlie will probably drink all the pre-workout at once!
Inventory and gifting is the last major game mechanic before Beta. After that, the existing game mechanics might be improved and their use expanded to new parts of the game but that should be all of it.
Non-game mechanics, like login or subscription management will also get some versatility and improved security added to them before Beta. I have not set a date yet for the Beta launch but as promised, the top level subscription will be lower than the current 10.00 USD.
Once Beta gets moving, Content will be the top most priority, so weekly avatar renders for body shapes, character maximum heights will be increased up to 10' as the renders become available... Chapters will be written and enabled... New cut-scenes will be published... And code will only be created to fix bugs or improve quality of life.
I personally can't wait to focus on chapter content since that's where the game will start to feel more like a game.
