Rogue-Like 0.984f (Ok, almost finished here. . .)
Added 2019-11-22 06:47:27 +0000 UTCOk, coming into the home stretch on this version. This should clear up some " list index out of range " errors, hopefully, as well as a few other bug fixes. It also offers two new features:
1. There is now a "dressing screen" option, where if the girl is too shy to change clothes in front of you, or at least to change into *certain* clothes, you can pop this screen up to give her some privacy. This is handy if you want to get her undressed so that you can put other clothes on, but she wouldn't want to be half-dressed. This does not apply if you're in public, but test it out, let me know if there are cases where you can get her to drop the screen wearing something she probably wouldn't be cool with, or get her to agree to set a custom outfit that she wouldn't drop the screen to show you. Primarily the controls for this are in the main wardobe menu, though any suggestion that she wear something she's uncomfortable with will prompt her to ask you about the screen.
2. There is a new "compliment" option in the flirt menu. This will provide a selection of several compliments you could offer her. Most are at least reasonably well received, but be careful not to push your luck, especially if you aren't that friendly yet.
I've got a few others things planned for the rest of the month, but with any luck, this one should be relatively stable.
Know bug:
-I made a change to meeting Laura so that after you first meet she's supposed to leave for several days, then show up again and do the scene in the campus. There is a bug with it atm that will cause her to just keep showing up in the danger room. If you haven't completed her meeting event in a previous version, then once you meet her, stay out of the danger room for a week or so until she shows up on the campus again. It'll be fixed next build though (or, come to think of it, if you have any previous build, just meet her in that one, save it, and come back to this one, it should store properly).
Comments
True, but also, my inventory system is less efficient than it is convenient for me to work with, so I worry about people cluttering it up with extra books. That said, I think I arrived at a solution, I implemented a system which should allow you to buy one book for each girl, plus one more, and no more than that.

2019-11-27 06:46:45 +0000 UTCMoney is kind of scarce in game, if players want to waste it buying unecessary multiples of things, let 'em. You are obligated to protect them from themselves only so far.

2019-11-23 19:03:57 +0000 UTCI did make the other tweaks to the gift menu and the shopping menu though.
Oni
2019-11-23 14:37:05 +0000 UTCOK, got it and agree, on both topics, I guess.

2019-11-23 14:34:54 +0000 UTCI'm looking through the inventory stuff (which I haven't seriously messed with in a while), and the main problem that I'm seeing with letting you buy a lot of magazines is that players would be able to buy one magazine for each girl, and then buy another four (assuming I capped it at 4), which would then sit there in the inventory, wasting space. I'm not sure that would be worth it. As for that interaction with Kitty, that seems to be working as intended. If you go with a girl to her own room, she invites you inside. She might not, btw, if it's late at night and she isn't that comfortable with you yet.
Oni
2019-11-23 14:32:00 +0000 UTCMet Kitty in Uni Square, partied up, went to her room. She said "Come on In!"
LumpySpaceKing
2019-11-23 14:27:01 +0000 UTC1. Fair. 2. True, I suppose I could let you pick up more. I didn't want to clutter the inventory *too* much. 3. Yeah, I could make that loop, I suppose.
Oni
2019-11-23 14:23:13 +0000 UTCLet me get back to you on that
LumpySpaceKing
2019-11-23 14:23:05 +0000 UTCThat's odd, if the girl who owns the room is in a party with you, then it should skip directly into the room. Which girl is doing this and what is the line she says?
Oni
2019-11-23 14:21:08 +0000 UTCNot bugs, more of little annoyances with the shop: 1. I don't think there should be a section with gifts for a girl you haven't met yet. 2. You can buy however many dildos or vibrators you want, but you can't buy more than one of each book. If I want to give the same book to several girls, I have to give one, go back to shop and come back. 3. On the topic of giving gifts: if I have several gifts to give, it throws me out of the gift menu after each one, which is annoying
LumpySpaceKing
2019-11-23 14:20:48 +0000 UTCIf you party up with a girl, go somewhere and then come back to her room, she says a line as if you've knocked on the door.

2019-11-23 14:17:34 +0000 UTCThat typically means the stats are a bit low. Both Emma and Rogue just use base stats to determine whether they are up for it.
Oni
2019-11-23 14:16:40 +0000 UTCI mean after getting caught the option does not appear but when i go to him with let's say Rogue and choose plan omega i believe she just asks ,,what?"
MightyRak
2019-11-23 13:51:23 +0000 UTCThank you for clarifying that.
Martin
2019-11-23 13:07:36 +0000 UTCWhat's stopping you? Does the option not appear, or do they just refuse to do it?
Oni
2019-11-23 13:02:15 +0000 UTCThere will never be a linear narrative to the game. There will never be an "ending," or some sort of dramatic plot in which you have to rally your harem to fight Apocalypse or whatever. That said, I do plan to continue adding storybeats throughout the game, personal interactions between you and the girls, and each other, to better establish characters and relationships. They will just happen in different orders depending on how you are progressing things.
Oni
2019-11-23 13:01:46 +0000 UTCHey Oni, i seems i'm not able to brainwash Xavier after getting caught or by going to his office with Emma or Rogue either
MightyRak
2019-11-23 12:45:49 +0000 UTCI love narrative games, but given the rate of development of this game (not a criticism), I feel like any story content would either be over almost as soon as it began, or would progress glacially slow. Personally, unless circumstances change, I'd rather the development continue to focus on the sandbox elements.
Omelet
2019-11-23 12:12:39 +0000 UTCWill there eventually be an actual in-game story, or will your game forever stay a pure dating/corruption-simulator? Right now, at times, the game seems kind of "flat" when nothing really happens, and I'm unsure if it's supposed to be that way, or if it will change in the future.
Martin
2019-11-23 11:40:50 +0000 UTCYes, sorry, this should be fixed next build, probably within 24 hours. If you don't want to wait, you can load up a save in a previous version, such as 0.984e, and then complete that scene once on that version, then save and load up the save in 0.984f, after which the problem should not happen again.
Oni
2019-11-23 11:25:03 +0000 UTCfound a bug, Laura's first encounter plays out every time i enter the danger room no matter how many times, or days have past
etralt
2019-11-23 10:47:48 +0000 UTCYes. I totally know why this is happening, and the next version will fix it. The issue is, in the old versions, meeting Laura would set a flag that made her 100% available. In this version, it only sets a flag that sets some things in motion that will *eventually* set that permanent flag after a few days. The issue is that I forgot to change the conditions for launching her Danger Room scene to account for this, so it will keep happening. If your playthrough already has that flag in place, because you met her properly in a previous version, then there will be no problems. The next version will be flagged correctly and also have no problems.
Oni
2019-11-23 06:51:34 +0000 UTCIt happens when I speak to one and after switching to the other, the first remained superimposed in the middle. I experienced the slowdown for any combination and only during threesome sex.
Karion Latanos
2019-11-23 03:56:32 +0000 UTCAdded note, happens on saves from previous versions too but only if you haven't met Laura yet. Seems to be gone after you meet her for the 2nd time but I haven't been able to get her to show up after the danger room on a fresh save.
Ryan
2019-11-23 03:15:10 +0000 UTCOk, i think I've rebalanced the odds to be a bit less common.
Oni
2019-11-22 09:42:35 +0000 UTCHmm, it should require that her stats be higher than that at least some point in the day. Love stat doesn't really apply here, and also all the girls start with love stats near or above 500, and all calculations are based around that. If their Love stat is below 500 then it's treated as they barely stand you, and below like 300 they actively dislike you, rather than 0 being the neutral point.
Oni
2019-11-22 09:33:56 +0000 UTCOk, so i've started new game. Every flirty line again, night 1 in mc's room. Red button says 0.0.0.0. Going to the Rogue's place and she's at it again %) Returning to the mc's room, red button says 0s again. Rogue's stats: Love 616, Obidience 50, Inhibitions 112, Lust 25 (before seeing her and +20 after i leave her door) I think problem is her high Love stat. It's at 500 at the start of the game
WillyECoyote
2019-11-22 09:26:34 +0000 UTCHmm. ok, so lt's unpack this overlapping issue. You have two girls in the room, they shouldn't be overlapped right away, right? At what point do they end up overlapped? Is the issue that you start talking to the one on the right side, and at some point she shifts to the middle while the other one stays there? What is the last line before that happens? Also, which combination of girls and poses is causing slowdown for you, because each is handled separately.
Oni
2019-11-22 09:22:03 +0000 UTCSo far, the only bug I have encountered repeatedly is when you Romance with a girl with two girls in the room, the first one would be overlapping over the other. The bug goes away the moment you enter the sex menu. Not sure if others have reported this bug to you. Hopefully, you can also work on optimisation too. Somehow, the framerate of the game drops during sex scenes.

Oni
2019-11-22 09:16:49 +0000 UTCHmm, I messed with something there, maybe I messed with it too much. . .
Oni
2019-11-22 09:10:48 +0000 UTCi love the hard work, love and passion you put into this game. I'll be with ya for the long run all the way till the end and beyond :D
Carlos O Vela
2019-11-22 08:42:27 +0000 UTCAppears to be a bug where going to the Danger Room in the evening constantly repeats Lauras intro scene (Haven't encountered her outside of the danger room yet)
Ryan
2019-11-22 08:41:23 +0000 UTCIt really do be like that sometimes. That said, I am liking it so far, especially the addition of the compliments system, it's the little things that make it special
Aeryn Monet
2019-11-22 07:21:48 +0000 UTCYep, that's how it is sometimes. ;) This is why I do at least try to let versions stay up a day or two to get the bugs out, if I just jumped on every bug immediately we'd be up to version q by now. :D
Oni
2019-11-22 07:00:31 +0000 UTCOmg, i JUST finished downloading the last version Lol. (But in all seriousness, thanks for the hard work)
