Space Journey X - Devlog 8th Sep - 2.30 Adult content work started (NSFW)

Hi,

after updating DEV230_005 one more time to address reported issues I started with the NSFW package today and determined the NSFW scenes and achievements planned. NSFW content and quest link-in will take around three weeks.

First package was Trixie and I noticed with positive surprise that part of the content was already in V2.20 but never activated. So I was finished quickly with adding Trixie's Krell outfit (see screen). :)

On popular request I also added a standing o...

Space Journey X - V2.30 - DEV Test Version is Up

Hi,

the last few days I mostly finished the away mission combat stages with all assets, loot, mobs and encounter logic. It cost me about a week more than anticipated, but that RPG code is a lot of effort (not complicated but just so many cases to consider...).

While at it I integrated some new loot parts (Underverse Parts) for bots, an armoury gear sale interface, the RPG Exp and leveling interface for the crew and a bunch more stuff. around 40 items (excluding bugfixes) went in V...

Space Journey X - Devlog 31st August

Hi,

I am mostly done with the bot hideouts for the RPG game. New units, stages and gear will be included. I'll probably string them into a quest to get progressively more difficult to defeat for your combined away teams of Bots and Crew.

I have attached the 4 stages I made as a preview to this post below. Tomorrow I'll set the mobs, loot and other necessary data and then I'll create an updated Dev to testplay the encounters.

Quests I have already drafted on paper and by en...

Devlog - 28th August - Renegade Bot Hideout

Hi,

after adding all the mobs and a few scenarios I have progressed to testing the Away Team Combat.
Here you can see a higher Tier Renegade Bot Hideout facing our Away Team. Doesn't Nimhe with her little EMP grenade look cute?

• The next two days I'll test this combat, refine the UI, code the loot for the different enemy types and tiers and then proceed to multiply these scenarios into variations with different BG and mobs.

• In every Asteroid / Mining Field...

Service Patch V2.20_022 - Akasha's Tendrils

Hi,

it turns out an annoying mixup has crept into V2.20_022 (Public Release).

• Issue: If you use Akasha's Tendrils Underverse Cargo Unit, then the nightly check for free Underverse Wares is faulty.

It is supposed to allow up to 6 valuable items to be retrieved if you have 6 Underverse AddOns equipped in the Cargo Unit but it mixes it up with the Shield Addon Assessment.

Devlog - 26th August - Progress SJX 2.30

Hi,

during the last week I completed the away team configurator and crew import & chibis.

While working on that I stumbled again over my not ideal fragmented character attribute system. Introducing RPG related stats like STR, DEX etc. for the crew made that attribute system even more complicated.

After a patron, who shall remain unnamed, submitted yet another stat related BUG I finally decided to refactor/rewrite my, on design level awful stat system for the (crew) act...

Space Journey X - Devlog 23rd August - Away Missions GUI

Hi,

I am mostly finished with the away mission GUI! You can see screenshots in this post...

• Armoury bots or crew members can be selected

• The away mission objective is displayed in the GUI

• Team members can be equipped with armoury gear from the GUI

I also implemented the classes for the crew:

• Nimhe: Thief, can Fortify and Hack, Light gear only

• Moira: Healer, can Heal, Light gear only

Message To All New Patrons

Thanks for joining and supporting my projects on Patreon!

To all patrons who have posted suggestions and feedback when joining as a (paying) Patron: I appreciate the comments very much. They help to make SJX a better game.

For some odd reason I am no longer able to send reply messages to (new) users on Patreon which I normally do in response to welcome messages (I assume the Patreon Site overhaul broke a few things and Apple Safari is not happy with it at the moment...).

Space Journey X Devlog - 18th August - Progress V2.30

Hi,

with V2.20 Public released I started with the more "risky" code parts I want to include into V2.30

• refactoring of character stats data structures (less error prone)

• rewrite of mining game (improved quality payoffs and reward system)

• botlab parts picker speedup ( 100x times faster for large number of parts)

• menu rewrites (inspections no longer in favours but separate)

Here's a peek on the Blaster and reworked Armour set in 2.30. Different weapons have different dmg, equip requirements, toHit modifiers. Made in Blender.

Devlog - August 9th - Combat Screens

Hi,

while waiting for the final reports from the Official Release to include into a minor bugfix update I worked a bit on a few stage concepts for the combat module.

I am thinking about at least three different encounters in 2.30

• Sexbot Hideout: Asteroid, where escaped bots hide. Bot capture chance

• Krell Cultists: Encounter in Krell Space, possibly Asteroid Belt, see mockup screen

• Pirate or Swarm Surface Encounter: TBD

On a side note, there was a discussion on the piercing design on discord (VIP channel) so I might put that out for a VIP-Poll as well. Personally I think the current design is good in length and shape (I modeled it after a set of piercings from a Skyrim naughty add-on).

The suit is from a talented artist (LeonDP) who sells great outfits on Renderotica, check it out. I retextu...

VIP/Upper Tier - Vee Progressive Uniform 2 (NSFW)

Hi,

here is a concept render for Vee's Progressive Uniform 2 (NSFW).

I created the texture with a new blender texture paint add-on (ravage v2) which is excellent, as it allows layer based painting and easy texture export (see blender screenshot). This add-on is not super expensive (39$). Saves a lot of time.

And it allows me to avoid my nemesis, Adobe, which has acquired the great substance painter and corrupted it with their evil ways... (now subscription only, 50$ a month...

Vee New Uniform - Work in Progress

Hi,

as the VIP Poll was quite clear by numbers (patreon and Substar combined) that Vee should be the next to adjust her uniform a bit I set to work with Blender and retextured / modded some existing DAZ assets I purchased previously.

In the VIP Poll 30% asked for a (any) new character progressive outfit addition, 25% specifically for Vee so she is the next in line :)

Here is a work in progress and the Blender Screen thats behind it. Outfits coming with 2.30.

while fixing some issues on the progressive Uniforms I was confounded by my less than ideal code. That prompted me to consider reworking it fully for V2.30.

In that context I would probably also add some visual / QoL improvements, such as

• rework the uniform selector to show the ...
