Callie's Life - RC1- Coming Attractions
Added 2022-01-13 03:16:08 +0000 UTCRC1 (Release Candidate) development is underway. This is going to be the first publicly available release. Accordingly, I've decided to modify how I do build releases going forward. I'll post builds as I add new content, same as before, but bug fix releases will no longer be done unless it's identified as a showstopper (i.e. game play cannot progress if it isn't fixed). All other bugs will be addressed in the next build, instead of squasing as many bugs as I can before proceeding with new content. This will hopefully speed up the development/release cycle. Up til now, I've spent at least a couple of weeks after each release doing nothing but fixing bugs before I feel I can even move forward with actual development with new content. After that it takes a while for me to get back my momentum.
Here's a list of what is on tap for the upcoming builds.
* That History Test will finally be implemented along with some more classes, homework, and other day to day school life.
* The books from the library will affect skill levels when read (up to a point - after that you need practical experience)
* Some romantic content with Derek
* More Dares and Consequences.
* Content in the Mall
* Callie will potentially be paddled at school for her behavior and there will be different Tiers to determine how she is punished.
* More Candy Sales
* Sneaking Out/Back In at night and risking getting caught. (I've had the core of this built in since B02, but never fully implemented it)
There are some other features that I'm considering, but am as yet undecided on. I would appreciate your feedback and comments on :
1. Callie getting a job. This will allow her to earn more money.
2. Another sleepover, this time at a friend's home.
3. Giving some of the maps a facelift, and streamlining them a bit.
4. A set class schedule for school.
There is a lot of content that is on the board for the next release so I am reluctant to give a projected release date at this time, but I will be providing weekly progress updates every Monday, and there will be occasional "Partial Builds" for those of you interested in playing and evaluating new content. I'll go ahead and tell you now though - remarks stating "this doesn't seem finished yet" will be ignored. LOL

1. Well if the game is played as expected, Callie needs to pay for items to soothe her poor sore bottom. Although, it hasn't been stressed up to this point, merely alluded to in a dialogue message or two, there is a Spring Dance coming up and she needs to buy a dress. There will also be a few other things along the way that will reduce her funds. 4. I'm going to do my best to make sure that doesn't happen. I don't have anything overly complicated in mind. However, you've been my own personal Orkin man when it comes to bug reports, so I'm sure I'll still keep you busy. LOL

Earning more money makes sense only if we feel need for it, we have never felt that Callie lacks money so far, the game needs some "money sinks" :D 2) Yay! 3) Yay! 4) Yay! Although I foresee many bugs related to this in future :D
