Progress Update #5: May 20, 2021
Added 2021-05-20 05:31:13 +0000 UTCSo - we've just about locked down the content for our big monthly update - it's all in and we're testing it now. Lots of new things to see and do.
Some of what we've worked on last week includes:
Little stuff:
- Fixed issue where too many popups can be opened at a time.
- Fixed issue where quest notifs would no longer show if it was interrupted.
- Progress for pairs and sorting minigames now update properly.
- Characters' lips now move during flirting
- Quest notifications now queue properly
- It is now clearer when a quest is still under development.
- Sunscreen is now acquired by cleaning poopdeck instead of your room.
Big stuff:
- Added smoking hookah quest with Raven (relaxation)
- Added sunbathing with Maria (relaxation)
- Added meditating with Andrea (relaxation)
- Energy limited to maximum of 100.
- Rebalanced energy mechanics.
The stuff that REALLY changes this week is the whole way Energy works. As it was you basically always had energy, so it wasn't really an issue. Now we've adjusted the costs so that you DO get tired every now and then, but we've added a bunch of fun relaxing things to do to gain energy. The goal is to bring the game closer to a sort of simulation (the original intent) where you have to balance your energy with story progression.
Next week will be all about testing and polishing the last few weeks content for most of the team - and for me (Chase) it will be all about writing the content for next month. I don't wanna give too much away, but some BIG stuff happening in the story in the next update!
As always - THANK YOU for supporting us! And look forward to seeing your feedback on Discord.
