New Focus
Added 2024-08-03 08:35:17 +0000 UTCSo I decided to take a step back and think and I would like some feedback from you.
With the new 0.25 early access build the game is full of half made systems, this is intentional as I am going with the "horizontal slice" approach to the game. Where I would implement all of the planned systems before finally going back to polish and flesh them all out.
I chose this approach for a few reasons:
It allows a for rapid early development, polishing a feature takes significantly more time than just developing the base in.
It allows me to gauge what users and modders find the most intersting or lacking areas, allowing me to focus on them.
The last major feature I want to implement is the new class/exam system. The current story and exam system aren't very logical and I want to rewrite the story to match the planned exam system.
A few key notes about the new system:
You would be trying to corrupt the girl within X days rather than making sure she doesn't pass.
You can teach your own class, like it currently stands
Each class would be "training", I haven't decided how "passing" the girl would happen.
Maybe a real exam on Friday where girls can prove they are ready to pass?
During afternoon classes you can peek in to see what the other teacher is doing.
You can also sit in on the class, trying to distract her to train her "teaching skill" or maybe suggest actions to her.
This system is still very much in the planning phase so ideas are welcome.
I am curious about how users feel about this, because I can imagine it looking like an overwhelming mess of half baked systems. Hence this poll to gauge user experience.
