Hey everybody! Hope you've been having a good May! Finally, the masses of snow have melted, and spring is in the air! Er.. depending on where you live, I guess.. sorry opposite-hemisphere-people! Anyway, here is the progress update for the month so far:
I have been working on the debug version! It's not quite ready yet, but I'll definitely put it out sometime this month as promised. I've attached some pictures to show the choices you'll be able to start the game off with- Kiera's undies, stats, level... and what kind of potty visit she'll have to make first! (She'll definitely have some comments about your choices, so be careful what you pick!) With that in place, you should be able to have some quick and dirty fun if you just feel like having some accidents around the daycare :P It will also be an easy way to try out different skills and such, which will be extra handy as more of those get implemented! Additionally, if you choose pull-ups or diapers as Kiera's starting undies, you'll get some unique starting interactions & accidents, compared to if she starts in her regular panties.
Apart from that, I have mostly been developing the enhanced potty system. I have included a couple pictures of that, where Kiera finds herself in just a diaper (which will happen if she leaks in her pants)! It's been lots of fun to work on those sprites so far, since an exposed diaper/pull-up naturally needs to show how much it's been wet already! Apart from sprites, I've been piecing together more code for the potty system, including allowing the chance for Kiera to not notice she has to go! (Especially if her potty training stat has suffered already). Hopefully our intrepid hero doesn't get TOO distracted..!
Further, I have been adding more accident interactions around the map- making sure that more characters will have something to say about the condition of Kiera's pants! ..Or even witnessing something happen inside them if she really has to go!
PS... I wanted to mention that summer is a busy time for me (especially this one!), so you may notice the pace of the project slowing down a bit. I am working on the game at least a bit every day, but I don't have as much free time as I did before. I will 100% be sticking to all deadlines I announce, and the 4-month updates! But I'll probably be shifting to a narrower focus on a few key things for the next update, rather than a whole smackload of things. ..And if you can't tell, my main focus right now is the potty system! ;) So you'll probably be hearing loads more about that for the next bit, haha.
Anyway, that's it for now! Feel free to comment if you have any thoughts or ideas to send my way, I'd love to hear them! And stay tuned for the debug version! (Soon ™) Talk to ya in a bit :)
