Suicide Booth

Quick update today, still busy getting ready for the release tomorrow. I've been busy mining enough code for NPCs. Altogether about 2,000 lines so far, of some pretty dense stuff with lots of math. 

Read the rest here!

Sex {Objects}

This isn't an uncouth reference to women, it's a nerdy reference to programming!

I spent most of the day in the code mines, I clocked in about 9 hours before i realized it. The coding is easy; what makes it a challenge is creating distributions of variable values that makes up a "normal" population of people in Appletree. All in all, things are progressing quite nicely, though there's still a lot to do. NPCs are complicated creatures, after all!

Head over to the...

Ero-Lich-Hub

I've got a pretty short & quick update for you today. I spent most of the day working on code until I was getting too tired. Unfortunately, holidays often mean things like short turnarounds for me, so I was operating on less than 5 hours of sleep. (Also, it's still early, but happy Veteran's Day to my fellow veterans!) 

Check out the rest here, it's got some inf...

Grab-Bag Update

Bunch of different, smaller, things in this update. Touch a bit on art, the new trial commission, refactoring, adding some posts to the blog from the old one, and a notebook pic about NPC dialog. 

Check it out here.

I'm gonna head back to the code mines, see you when I emerge once more!

Sneaking a Peek

I've been working on the NPC Generator a bit, generally working my way through creating a detailed character out of duct tape. (Don't worry, I'm using some fancy name-brand stuff.)

Check out the whole post here. It talks some about NPC settings, my progress on the generator, and have a few images of the NPC settings page.

Quality Assurance for Quality Ero

Getting the "news" items out of the way first: 

The public version of 0.04.1b has been released. I'll be updating TFGS after I finish this post.

I did a boring live stream today. Actually, I thought it was pretty interesting stuff I worked on, but yeah, coding. I streamed for about 7 hours straight, with a few short breaks here and there. Code for the NPCs is moving along nicely. Tomorrow I'll probably set up the new class declaration and do some incremental tests b...

A Gem From the Code Mines

Mostly coding in JavaScript today, which is pretty nice. I really prefer it for code-type stuff over using twee inside a passage. However, It took a bit to readjust, I had to think to myself "oh right, I can do X again" XD

I want to mention real quick that the podcast idea in the survey isn't for a real podcast, just for 1-3 short segments talking about basic information about the game. Kind of a "why I'm doing X" sort of thing, rather than any new info.

Light Heresy Day

So today is Sunday in Guam Land. I did some coding on the NPCs in JavaScript, it's pretty neat so far. I spent a bit of extra time on it today because I had friends over last night for dinner and some board games. Also got to be the 'worst human' in Cards Against Humanity. ^-^  

Not too much more, mostly just a couple pictures of NPC variables. You can see more here.

Do The Creep (hahhh)

UPDATE: I've done a ton of Google Forms for work, so went through making the survey rather quickly. Unfortunately, I must've made a mistake somewhere, because when I took a look at it, I saw that some people were getting unintentionally forwarded to the middle of the "I don't understand Patreon" section, and everybody was bypassing some questions. It's fixed, sorry about that!

I had an idea, rather than writing a post with a bunch of information, to do a survey. This ...

Here's a fix, and thanks to Mad for reporting it!

Busy Release - Version 0.04.0 [backer]

I was unexpectedly busy at work tonight, so I've had to squeeze things in as best as possible. Sorry about the delay!

I will be adding a change log on the AW website after I get home. Note that this zip archive comes with a template file, it's a bit of a surprise for you. (character template system is in place!)

Glad Tidings on Samhain

Happy Halloween, for all of you who celebrate it. Regardless of your plans, I hope you have a great evening. ^-^

I've been working on getting a release ready, and should have it out for you tomorrow. Because it will be a while before the next public release, I'm going to go ahead and release it for $1 patrons a few days later.

Texas Instruments (Art & More)

So the poll technically isn't over, but it seems unlikely that things are going to change very much at this point. AlexW95 came in as the clear winner, though both Justinian Knight and Arteria got a respectable portion of the vote. 

The next step is to contact Alex and let him know, and get started on art commissions ^-^  I'm also going to get in touch with Arteria and Justinian to let ...

Boobs, Schedule, and more Boobs

Anime physics...

This is a post that's probably worth looking at via the website, because breasts. ^-^

Tomorrow morning I'm going to share some more notes on NPC components and dialog, and I think it'll be safe to call the artist poll and talk about the next artist trial. See you then! 

Building NPCs to Sleep With

Complexity & Chaos Theory in Procedural Generation (AKA: My Approach to NPCs)

First of all, I want to say thanks for all of your kind words, I really appreciate your support. It's hard to express the kind of effect it has on me as a creator, but it means a lot to me. A big part of my anxiety has been worry about possibly letting people down, so your reassurances really help me deal with that too!

Before I get started on NPCs, let ...

Into the grave! Insert creepy Halloween laugh here

It's slowly sunk in over the last few days that I'm heading towards a burnout. The problem with burnouts is that they're often a lot of fun until they suddenly aren't. I've been having fun working on Accidental Woman; passion and the community have been driving me forward. It's too easy to get sucked into something you're passionate about though, and that's a particular weakness of mine.

To be clear upfront: I'...
