Mid-November Progress Report

Added 2024-11-16 22:35:33 +0000 UTC

Hey peeps! Let's get into the first progress report for the next update :)

Having seen the response to this month's poll, it looks like you guys would like to see more stuff happen when Kiera levels down! Which has led to the main thing I've been working on - RANDOM EVENTS!

Every 2 levels that Kiera levels down (18, 16, 14), she'll unlock a new random event. These are silly little things that Kiera will stop and do as she's wandering around the daycare. So far, I have events like she'll randomly start to suck her thumb, she'll lose her balance and tumble down onto her bum, and she'll decide to cheekily wiggle her bum at the player. The idea is that the first few wouldn't be super babyish, but as she levels further and further down, she starts doing really little things!

I think that having random events will be fun for gameplay, as there'll be more unexpected things that can happen at any moment! I intend to have certain NPCs react to random events too.

My goal is to add at least 10 random events to the game - so if you have any ideas, please share them in the comments! I'd love to hear about anything you'd be excited to see in the game.

I have also started working on more Skills for Kiera, and having every Trait have at least some impact on the game. And working on other sprite poses, such as when Kiera is crawling or thumbsucking. Aaaaaand also spent a good amount of time fixing more of the bugs that had been reported!

That's it for now - please let me know if there are any random events that you'd like to see in the game! Again, examples would be things like randomly tumbling onto her bum, starting to suck her thumb, or wagging her butt (I'll post some sample shots on discord).

See ya soon!
