LL 0.0.6 Progress
Added 2017-11-01 18:54:12 +0000 UTCI spent the morning running the code I'd written last week, and fixing little things, adding images where they were needed, and so forth. I won't say that I would yet call it totally tested. What I can say is that it works, and I think it's fun. Ella presents a non-trivial puzzle to be solved, and working on her makes it a little harder to accomplish everything else the player would like to do.
I also did a few renders and some riding to bring make using both Ella and Raven for sex from the slave menu on par with what is available for the other girls.
I expect to be able to release 0.0.6 on Tuesday, November 7.
Some 0.0.7 thoughts -- currently, if Aureus is on the loose, he periodically grabs a girl, moving along a list that roughly corresponds to my perceived level of difficulty. If you've already enslaved the next girl on the list, he just moves on to the next un-enslaved girl. If you subsequently defeat him, all the girls he grabbed become available again.
My intention was for there to be two strategies with which to approach the game... one is to outrace Aureus for the girls, and the other is to challenge and defeat him. Right now it feels like defeating Aureus is by far the superior method, so I'm considering two changes -- one, that as Aureus moves along the list, if the next girl on the list is enslaved, he simply won't grab a girl that time around. So, if you can keep enslaving girls faster than he grabs, you can outrace him. The second is to not make the girls he grabbed come back into the game after you defeat him. As it is right now, you can play pretty horribly, not enslaving any girls, and letting Aureus capture them all except Raven, and then kill Aureus and have unlimited time to get whichever girls you want. I want the game to reward good play.
Additionally, Aureus may move through the list slightly quicker to compensate for the fact that occasionally he's coming up empty.
I'm also considering a mechanic where if Veronica is your slave, she will in turn be able to have a slave of her own, who is available for your use. Veronica's difficulty will be adjusted accordingly.
Regardless, 0.0.7 will include girl girl scenes that will unlock from the slave menu. That doesn't involve any coding challenges, just a lot of posing and rendering, and I should have no trouble getting that done in time for a December release.
As always, let me know your thoughts!

I imagine you were just to buried in code and story. I get like that sometimes when I am in the middle of a project. Anything short of Tyranasaur bellowing in my ear just goes over my head : ) lol

2017-11-02 21:01:44 +0000 UTCI'm not sure that I understand why... maybe I'm slow today. I would say that a secret agent game where you seduced enemy ladies into giving you secrets, and your allies into helping you, could be pretty awesome.
