Sprint 005, day 1
Added 2020-01-06 22:58:27 +0000 UTCHey guys! We got the new sprint got off to a good start today.
I set up a new Trello for you to keep tabs on the sprint tasks. You'll see that a couple are completed already: I uploaded some artwork for the status effect icons and the hero headers that we're planning to introduce soon.
Hyneman is ready to add In This Year content to all Lifepath pages, to convey a sense of the news events that shaped your agent's upbringing. We could use more events, especially 2000-2018, so if you can help please contribute via this form.

I started writing section 1 of the Mk II Sex Engine prototype. I'm looking forward to more writing on the next sprint day, which is Wednesday because I have to drive a friend to a place tomorrow. See you then!

Saw the answers and there's no event from Thailand (the next part of the story). I'll try my best to add those. Hope there would be some infos that would come in handy for your story writing :)
2020-01-09 12:58:26 +0000 UTCYeah, this is one of those "nice to have" tasks that has been on the back burner forever. We decided to implement it now as a test of workflow: we're trying to work out ways to add content to the game that don't require me to spend man-hours (crab-hours?) on it. So Hyneman built a form and a script to add the content into the game, and some community writers (The Lost Engineer, Mano2, Q794, Eulexia, type, DarkDruid & HS1990) have populated it with info. I haven't laid a claw on it. If we can make this new system work, we can use it to add more complex content to the game.

2020-01-08 21:03:36 +0000 UTCHey thanks VM! It looks like your last update to Lyla's Curse was a big one. I haven't had a chance to play it yet, but I'm looking forward to catching up with Lyla and Sock, your game is great!

2020-01-08 20:56:17 +0000 UTCGREAT IDEA (and I know I also need to comment on your other great ideas on Discord). The game can certainly tell if Kate happens to be in Africa at the same time as a Boko Haram attack, and it could trigger some kind of scene. Ideas welcome. :-)

2020-01-08 20:54:37 +0000 UTCThanks! I love character customisation in RPGs, so I want to keep developing this area of the game in 2020.

2020-01-08 20:52:00 +0000 UTCHonestly world events is a waste of time imo. It's a small thing that's a little bit nice for immersion but completely unnecessary

2020-01-07 05:27:13 +0000 UTCA question about the possible events. If Kate had her gap year, would events this year actually count? For example, an attack by Boko Haram or something?
