Sprint 008, day 6
Added 2020-02-24 20:47:58 +0000 UTCHey guys! Sorry I missed yesterday's report.
I've been working on the revamped bed sex branch. I've been struggl...no, wait, experimenting with different ways to structure this part of the scene.
I've hit on something that feels like it's working. The drawback is that the structure's more convoluted than I wanted it to be – there are now lots of snaking paths through the scene, which feels kind of inelegant from a coding perspective. But the scene is now capable of delivering some quite tailored niche moments (e.g. all agents can give Max a BJ before sex. Agents with Oral Sex +1 or higher can optionally give his cock a thorough tongue lashing first. If she does so, she can optionally move on to lick his balls. From this position, if she's Promiscuous, she can rim Max).
It's complex but I think it's working. I'm a bit frazzled now, so I'm going to sleep on it and hit it hard on the next sprint day, which is tomorrow. See you then!
PS I'm still really behind on my messages, sorry everybody who's written to me recently.

I'm not complaining I love this addition! :D

2020-02-25 00:39:28 +0000 UTCSo I have a question for you to consider: With all this work being put into this scene, and this scene being a basis for scenes in the future, isn't this taking a very long time? Now, don't get me wrong. Your work on this scene is important. It's the proof of concept for other scenes that will be throughout the rest of the game. However, you've been working on this single scene for, what? Months now? It's going to be a problem for the rest of the game if every new scene takes you anywhere between 2-6 months to write every time. And I understand that this scene can help you to be used as a template for future scenes and you'll be able to sort of copy and paste, but even with a copy and paste format the work will be time consuming. The branches could theoretically be the same but you're going to have to change every variable in the scene to be unique to the new scene. Every path will have to be re-written or re-done in some way. And I know how time consuming this can be because I've done it myself. So I pose this question to you not as a criticism, but to remind you that this is a major obstacle that you need to find a solution to. If every scene continues to take this long to write and code, then in 3 years you're going to have somewhere between 6 and 12 new scenes. Even if it takes half as long, you're looking at maybe 24 new scenes max in that same timeline. Nowhere near the massive scope you undoubtably desire for your game. Once this sex engine project is done, what are you going to do to streamline the process in the future? Because you need to be no less than 5x as fast if you want this game to match your vision. You definitely need to finish up this task, but this efficiency problem is you need to continue to think about or start thinking about now if you haven't already.

2020-02-25 00:09:00 +0000 UTCI know! Totally not in the plan, but it seemed to flow naturally from that specific BJ. This is an example of how the new sex scene system is going to allow us to do much more than we could before.
