Therapist Progress Report: 12/18/18

This week, rfpnj's The Therapist was the winner of the "What should I work on" poll.  So lets start there today!

You probably all noticed the lack of a real progress report the last couple of days.  After the last couple of weeks, I was feeling a bit burnt out.  So Sunday I turned into a family day, and Monday was spent brainstorming for Therapist.  I've got the outline of about a dozen fairly simple interactive scenes planned, but we'll see how many I make it through....

Weekly recap: Eve style.

You can hear her footsteps coming down the hall several seconds before she comes barreling into the room.  Seeing you, she tries to stop but her sock clad feel slide across the smooth floor bringing her to a stop several feet past where she had originally intended.  

She saves as she steps in front of you, giving an awkward curtsy, "My sister thinks I need to act more lady like,"  She says, like that explains everything.

Clearly happy to see you, she ...

What should I work on this week?

We skipped our weekly poll last week because I had a mountain of content waiting to be added to Inheritance, and I wanted to tie up what loose ends that I could.  So instead of running out usual poll, I just cashed out my Writer's Choice votes and worked on that instead

Those of you who have been with us for a while know what to do already,  but I'll take a moment to explain things for the rest of you.  

What we do each week is we take a vote on what I wil...

Inheritance A23TEST14. Who wants an epic new build?

Enter wall of text:  Bold items  are important.

This has been an incredible week, And that's on top of the two good weeks that led up to it.

I'll post a full changelog below, but I'll see about highlighting the things added this week  first.  

LFN Park sent me a small mountain of new content, in total somewhere between 20-25 new scenes, about half a dozen which are interactive in nature.

Irish Major Tom sent several scenes my way this week...

Inheritance Progress Report 12/13/18

Had another really great day today.  Managed to add 20-25 scenes to the game today.

Both LFN Park and Irish Major Tom submitted a lot of content this week.  Between the two of them I've added for the next build:  A grand total of 32 new scenes between the two of them, and that's before counting Irish Major Tom's sex content for Mitsuko. 

Today passed 50k words of new content for the next official build. &nb...

Inheritance Progress Report 12/12/18

Today was  a LOT of fun.  Not only was it productive, but I got to write a lot of naughtyness.  

Wrote a new sex mechanic for the game.  This time, it's something that will appear in more than just the Master Bedroom.  At the moment, it's just Eve that content is written for, but adding content for other characters should be relatively easy now that everything is coded and the framework is in plac...

Inheritance Progress Report 12/11/18

Today was an exceptional day!  We got a lot done, and we have a lot to show for it!

Lets jump right in:

-Irish Major Tom is on a roll.  They submitted the start of Mitsuko's sex content.  It includes both the bed and present in the room intro sets, missionary sex position, creampies, and end sex segments of code.  What this means is that we have one sex act that can be perform...

Inheritance TEST Fix

Alright, I'm sure a few of you have noticed that you get an error in about a third of the rooms in the mansion.  It was a little piece of residual code I missed when taking care of something else.  It was throwing an error when you entered certain rooms, but wasn't breaking everything either.  I just went through and made some fixes.  This is the only problem that has been reported so far, so if you've seen something else, let me know and I'll get right on it.

There's a new...

Inheritance A23TEST9

Been a heck of a coupe days.  Was going to release this at version TEST3 on Saturday, but broke a couple of things and have been trying to iron out the worst of it ever since.  After a quick test play, I didn't see any problems jump out at me, so I'm hoping this version is relatively bug free.

Since the last TEST build, we've added some Christmas themed content, some content that reflects the seasons, a new Slave, and a bunch of other stuff.  If you want to find the new content ...

Spare time and where to direct it.

I've decided to work on Inheritance again this week.  I have a HUGE bundle of content that was submitted late this last week, and it's going to take a day or more to get all of that into the game.  Additionally there's one scene I wrote for the next build that is still a rough draft that I'd like to improve on.  I don't like leaving loose ends, and if I were to move to the next project, that's exactly what I'd be leaving until the next time I worked on the game.

The "I was going to take today off but spent all day coding" report. 12/09/18

Honestly, while it was no fun, we managed to get a lot done today.  Had a couple of code issues that one of our coders was able to run down with relative ease.  Then a couple of other issues were brought to my attention (Some were minor bugs, others were improvements) that I ended up hunting down and fixing.  In total, got about 6 hours of work time into the game today, and all of that was in the form of fixes and improvements.  I don't enjoy that kind of work, but at the sam...

Meeting Anna

Time for another weekly recap.  Most of this has been shared through our daily progress reports, but since you all enjoyed last week's "Story format" I wanted to do that again as well.

Last week, we had Eve telling about the new content from her perspective as if she had lived those events.  This week we'll be doing the same kind of thing with Anna.

Since last week's post was so well received, I'll be planning to do these weekly recaps every week.  Each week, I will use so...

The Allure of Wanton Cove 1.14 Public Build

"The Allure of Wanton Cove is a dark tale of horror set within the Cthulhu Mythos created by the renowned author H.P. Lovecraft.

You take on the part of a washed up former detective who could never let go of the last terrible case he worked.  Content to live the rest of his life at the bottom of a bottle, his former partner comes knocking, begging for his help.  Help that he is loath to give until offered a tantalizing clue that could finally unravel the case that plagues ...

Inheritance Progress Report 12/06/18

Had a pretty good day today, and even with that said, I'm just now sitting down to do a bit of writing!

Now, you may be wondering, "If he had a good day, but is only now getting around to writing?  What the heck has he been doing?"  Well, let me tell you!

I started out my morning reviewing the two scenes Irish Major Tom send me along with the scene I had written.  All three of these scenes are related to each other.  I wrote the initial bit of code for them, crea...

Inheritance Progress Report 12/05/18

Today was pretty special.  Made a lot of good progress.

Wrote about 5k words of content for the new girl today.  She's going to be a lot of fun to write for.  She's a nympho.  This is a piece of content that I'm coordinating with Irish Major Tom, so they're busy writing part of it right now (They're writing the lead in to meeting her, I wrote the initial meeting.)  It sounds like we should have everything by tomorrow and I'll get it dropped into the game as soon as it ...

Who are your favorite characters in Inheritance?

People seem genuinely fond of Anna and Eve, but I thought it may be fun to see what people think of the other noteworthy characters in Inheritance too.

I'm going to set this poll up so that people can vote for every character that they like, just to get a feel for who they like and why.  Anna and Eve I know most of you like, so they're on the poll as controls, other vote totals will measure against those.  

Take a moment to vote, and let us know what you like/don't like, in th...

Inheritance Progress Report 12/04/18

Today was a pretty good day considering it turned into a half day (Had in-laws come to visit, that cut into things quite a bit.)

I sat down to work this morning, and it was shaping up to be a similar work day to yesterday, you know one of those days where you want to get something done, and you just can't quite find the motivation to do it?   Yeah, one of those, but at least I figured out why.

The week to come, and non-progress report. 12/03/18

Got up this morning, sat down to work, . . . . and realized I just wasn't feeling it today.

I ended up writing half a dozen small scenes for town, but in all honesty it was only about an hour's worth of work.  So when it's all said and done, today was kind of like one of those days where you show up at work, go "Nope" turn around and head right back home.

Even I deserve a day off once in a while, r...

Meeting Eve.

I'd mentioned a while back that I was going to try something new.  That I was going to try making an update post from the perspective of one of the characters in the game I was working on.  

Today I'm going to give that a try.  I've set the post up as a poll so you can all weigh in on what you think.  If it's well liked, then I'll do this more.

Eve peeks around the corner, a nervous sort of excitement in her eyes, "Hi,"  She s...

What should I work on this coming week?

Last week, I screwed up.  With the holiday, I forgot to post a poll until it was too late.   (What can I say, I'm not perfect.  I just do the best I can, and once in a while something slips through the cracks.)  As such, I simply took Inheritance as my weekly project and reset the vote count for that.  And the poll two weeks ago had Last Stand of Ra as it's winner, so that one has been reset as well.  

Now, on to my usual preamble:

Those of y...

Inheritance A23 TEST Build 1

Going to come straight out and say it, this week was a good one.  Got a lot of new content into the game, and more importantly we got some important coding ready to go in the background that will now allow us to add scenes that depend on the day of the month, or even the month.  This opens up the possibility of holiday themed scenes as well as seasonal content.

Hope you all enjoy the new build!  And if you see anything that seems out of place, an error, an inconsistency, spellin...

Inheritance Art: Icons

As we inch our way toward having a proper inventory system in place for the game, I've commissioned some art for icons, to allow players  to drag and drop clothing items to wherever you want them.  

Without further adieu, I'm sharing with all of you a small assortment of the art that just came in a couple of days ago!

This is just one or two of each piece done, most of them came in a whole range of colors.

Inheritance Art: Dungeon

Got a couple of pieces of art for all of you.  This time the lights on/off versions of the dungeon.  Was really happy with how it turned out.  Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!

Got more art I'll be sharing in the coming days!

Last Stand of Ra Demo

I've been talking about it, and quite a few of you have been asking about it, so it's past time I release the next bit of Last Stand of Ra!

This version of the game expands the intro, more than doubling the amount of content since the last build.  This  build brings us to the end of the intro and the next time I work on the game I'll actually be writing playable content!

Hope you all enjoy the new version!

Inheritance Progress Report: 11/29/18

Had a really good day today!  Lets jump straight into it:

-Wrote, coded, and added a new scene for Gaia.  Was fun to write.

-Received a solution to our "Date" problem we were having.  Now that it's been fixed, I can start adding the Christmas events to the game so they'll trigger at the correct time.

-Worked my way through a short list of bugs/spelling errors.

-Received a bunch of art for Inheritance today.  I scheduled a couple of posts for the coming day...
