Dev Diary: Polls results, small updates, hating Adobe

Added 2016-12-12 14:54:46 +0000 UTC

Development section is updated with Nikki character SWF file (now includes clickable emotions as well as clothing) and new dev game version.

Let's start from hating Adobe first :) Today after many days of work I have finally added redesigned Nikki as a character into game. Started the game, approached Nikki... and experienced fps drop from 30 to almost 10!!!

You know, 'that feeling', when you find that results of last 2 weeks of your work are wasted? So I took a pause, drank some coffee and started googling possible solutions (except redoing game on different engine :D). Haven't found much, but decide to give it a try and put checkbox 'cache as bitMap' on each and every bodypart in the animation loop. You say I'm crazy to cache as bitmap elements that actually hold small bitmaps inside? Well, this worked pretty well, keeping fps at 30... and I guess I will go over every piece of my game and mark it 'cache as bitMap' as well, if this is how Flash suppose to work.

Get back to Polls!

Humanised Nikki face won the poll with rate of almost 3 to 1 despite the hot discussion started in the previous topic
'Casey future career' and 'Evening Fun parties' storylines raised almost the same level of support, while 'Lana stories' was on the 3rd place. So yes, since next month most of the storyline development will be dedicated to Casey and her further career.
Casey & Kelly are nominated on the Christmas Poster, which is now in development, yay!

I also plan to add new background for sex scenes at the Boss office this week and concentrate further working over story and good usage of 'phone interface' as well as fixing few bugs to shorten my current bug-list
