Update 4/26

Did I get all of Genevieve's dates done? No. But I got all of her daytime dating stuff done. Except hiking. Ran out of steam for that. Update ahoy. Update 4/26 Major Updates - You can now call Genevieve and go out on dates with her (make sure to call by Early Afternoon, as her night-time dating is not yet implemented). Minor Updates - Any time the game strips you naked, it will no longer hang. This should also resolve any problems with clothes getting stuck in inventory, and possibly constantly decreasing non-natural charisma. - Changed the way the game handles the beach, so you shouldn't see clothes getting stuck there. - Added a new outfit, Undefined, for it you leave the house wearing clothes that are not part of an established outfit. You can never choose the Undefined outfit, but this should fix any potential problems that the new outfit system might cause. - Streamlined all kinds of stuff behind the scenes that no one will ever see, probably. You'll probably notice th...

The Why Of Dating

Why does dating suck? Well, let me tell you. First of all, there's a lot of options for dating. A lot . I haven't added them up, but the total variations are 50+. Which is good for you, because it means that you don't have to get bored with doing the same date over and over again, but bad for me, because I have to actually write all that stuff. And copy/paste, while it's available for some stuff, isn't really feasible for all the stuff that happens in dates. Even similar stuff, like shopping for clothes and shopping for underwear, has different interactions. And then there's all the variations in the actual dating action itself. Let's look at clothes shopping with Genevieve as an example. You get to the mall. That's the first constant. What she does when you meet up, however, depends on what your relationship with her is. If you're just friends (i.e. you're not romantically involved), it's a simple greeting. If you're more than friends,...

Long stream is done

Six hours later, I've made quite a bit of progress on dating with Genevieve. Still not nearly complete, but I feel good about what I did include. Sex scenes are annoying, by the way. I'm done for the day, but I'll probably still be working on this over the weekend and whatnot. Still mostly on track for a 4/26 release date.

Strem Done

Stream is live. Working on date stuff. Annoyingly, I can't concentrate tonight. Gonna have to put in a long Thursday to make up for it.

Silent Running

It's been a few days since I posted, huh? Not too many actual game updates to speak of. I tweaked the Strip command to no longer hang the game, which should resolve a lot of problems that are completely unrelated, like underwear getting stuck when you return from the beach, along with some stuff that no one but me cares about (trust me on this one, it's boring). Progress on dating has been slow, simply because there's a shitload of dating options, and covering them all is brain-breaking. I don't like it. I'm going to actually cut out some of the date options (like the museum, which I've already cut out) so that I can keep my sanity while still offering some variety in the number of activities available. I'm also starting to think that I might have been a little ambitious with the goals for this update, so I'm going to actually drop the Traits update and push that to the next update. I might end up pushing some of pregnancy stuff too, but for now that...

Whoops

Ever have one of those days where you realize that you should have done something and you just completely blanked on it? I just checked my email (it's a separate account than my normal email) to discover that I haven't checked anything since March 10th. Shit. I'll be replying to emails today, so if you get something from me and you're all "But I asked that six weeks ago!", well, now you know why. Sorry for the delays in getting emails out, I am trying to be better about this stuff but sometimes I just get wrapped up in other things.

Stream Over, Small Update

So I got quite a bit of streamlining stuff done today. First and foremost, outfits no longer use loops, so putting them on and setting them takes no time at all. Stripping still takes time. I'm thinking about how to alter that. The stripper job, from waitress through exotic/private dancer has been completely streamlined. Fewer clicks, a lot of automation, and, as far as I can tell, absolutely no loss of any content. Finally, I added a bit of a tutorial to the beginning of the game (which you can skip), in case any new players don't know how RAGS works. This is honestly something I should have added about six months ago, but better late than never. It's basic RAGS functionality for now, but I'm thinking of a couple of new features that might be fun to add if I get off my lazy butt, that would probably need a bit of explanation. I've uploaded a new version (4/12), but there is no new content  in it. It's just streamlining. So download if you're interested in t...

Just FYI

Not sure when I'll start streaming tomorrow. I'm sick and completely exhausted. But keep watching this space...I'll let you know.

Exhausted Progress

I started to work on Genevieve's date reactions this morning, then got bored, lost focus, and passed out for a while from exhaustion. When I woke up, the stripper job had been redone and clothing was re-tooled to not use loops, along with a couple of other things. So...I guess I'm sleep-coding now? The stripper will be much easier to deal with going forward. Instead of getting to the changing room, stripping, putting on your clothes, putting on your shoes, moving to the main room, selecting "Get to Work", then moving back to the changing room...well, that's all automated. So you get to the strip club and select "Get to Work" from the locker, and it will put on the clothing appropriate to your job level, let you choose your shoes (similar to when you're leaving the apartment), move you to the main room automatically, and show you the results of your work day before moving you back to the changing room and putting your normal clothes on (have I ment...

Stream Time was Then

Managed to get Genevieve's telephone date reactions coded in. Now, on to the next step: the actual date. But not tonight. Tired. Obligatory request for donations here  (one donation in two weeks means I have to bring attention to it again).

The Next Update

So the weekend has passed, and the major bugs have been kind of fixed, as far as I can tell based on the reports that I've seen/gotten. And with a couple of days of downtime (in which I swear I had no idea what to do with myself), it's time to get started on the next update. Er, tomorrow. It's late, I'm not a robot. So, what's planned for the next version? 1) Internet Reporter job. This will be a promotion from the Blogger job, and...I really don't have much to say about it, to be honest. It's kind of vanilla. 2) More pregnancy content (I swear, I'm never going to be finished with pregnancy content). Specifically, the ability to have twins and triplets, and the consequences thereof. Also, some additional birthing options, like hiring a midwife or hypnosis instead of a regular hospital birth (with advantages and disadvantages for each). 3) The biggie: Relationship updates. Ideally, I want to have Genevieve actually date-able, which means that I have to ch...

Bugfix 4/6

It's a new bugfix. This should fix most bugs reported (I'll note which ones aren't fixed). Bug fixes - Nude Model workplace now has the photographer again (several characters got deleted somehow). - Cleaning supplies can now be replenished before you run out (the check was only letting you resupply if you were completely out). - Cashmere Overcoat and Raincoat can now both be toggled on. - Raincoat will now properly be worn in inclement weather if toggled on (it will default over the overcoat...or should). - Getting dressed at the strip club now uses the outfit that you put on before you left, and should apply everything properly. - Half time will now be reset whenever the time updates, or when you sleep. So if you use a half time block, and then a full time block, you have another half time block before the time will update. - Exercising naked should properly register, as should exercising in only the sports bra. - Jogging should now properly register the sports bra if you ...

Bugfix 4/5b

Fixes the following bugs: - No action to go to client's house as a maid. - No message about when to go to the client's house as a maid. - Cleaning supplies were registering as empty when actually full. - Work, Extra Outfit 1 and Extra Outfit 2 were not wearing underwear properly. - Exercise equipment will now properly register if you decide to exercise naked (note that naked is the default). Available here .

Bugfix 4/5a

Fixes the following bugs: - Error message that popped up when moving from the balcony to any room after exercising. - Inability to use the treadmill due to clothing. - Blogger job action "Get to Work" not doing anything. - Message about meeting maid client even if you're not a maid. Available here. (obsolete)

Update 4/5

Seven fucking hours later... Download Link Here  (obsolete) Note: If you have any bug reports for this version, please report them as soon as possible. I will be unavailable on Saturday, and want to get stuff fixed tomorrow if possible. Updates - New career/job: Publisher -> Blogger. Only the first level (there are no promotions). There's some things missing from this (namely, lack of dress code, lack of problems with arousal), but it's basically functional. - New Side Job: Maid. To become a maid, you need to do the following: buy a computer. Buy the cleaning supplies (available at the convenience store). This will unlock a command on the computer: Start Maid-for-hire business. Note that your technical aptitude skill will determine how effective your website is (i.e. how likely you are to get a job on a given day, with a low of 10% for shitty scores and a high of 60% for excellent scores). Then, once per day, you can check the computer to see if you have a job the followi...

The Next Next Update

So, come hell or high water, I'll be posting a new version tomorrow. I'm going to be unavailable most of the weekend, and therefore unable to work on the game as I normally would be on Saturday, and I don't want to leave things half finished. But who cares about that BS?! We all know what's going to be in tomorrow's update, let's talk about the update after it! This will be the "relationship" update. In addition to some stuff in regards to pregnancy (twin and triplet possibilities and some other stuff), my goal is to enhance the existing Genevieve relationship to the point that you can at least have sex with her, if that's your thing. So dating, inviting her over, maybe some cuddling/heavy making out on the couch? Absolutely. Naughty naked lesbian sex? Sure thing. Girl-on-futanari sex? I would be disappointed if you didn't expect that at this point. That's the goal. But not the only goal. I mean, it's been pretty obvious for a while ...

Stream Time is Fun Time

But fun time is over. So here's what I got done tonight. 1) Clothing system done. The game will now check to see if your underwear fits, and give you a big red error message if it doesn't, just so you don't miss it. 1a) The Exercise outfit doesn't actually work the way other outfits do. Instead of setting it to what you're wearing, it checks what you own (form-fitting clothes [NYI], sweatsuit, sports bra and panties), and asks which of them you would like to use when exercising. You can still put it on whenever you want, but see #3 for why you don't have to. 1b) The Extra Outfit 1 and Extra Outfit 2, after being set, can be named. 2) Morning routine (shower, makeup, vitamins) done. 3) Exercise routine changed: because of the way that the exercise outfit works, you no longer need to change into it to work out. Instead, you get a simple message that you "change into your exercise clothes" (or strip naked, if that's what you choose) before working out...

Process Improvements

Started work today on the new clothing system. Maid stuff still isn't done, but I was all gung-ho to try this out that I just couldn't wait. And the good news is...it works. Unless someone is really interested in the details of the behind the scenes stuff, I won't bore you with that, but basically, the way the system works is you get dressed in a particular set of underwear, clothing, jewelry and accessories, and then head to the closet (currently, I might change it to the dresser, haven't decided yet) and select Set Outfit -> Casual/Work/Exercise/Extra 1/Extra 2. The game then figures out what you're wearing, and stores all of that information. Then you choose Get Dressed, and it asks you which outfit you want to put on (side note: I was originally going to make this a child command, so that it would be Get Dressed -> Casual, but it wouldn't work the way I wanted it to). The game then checks the layout of the outfit and puts it all on. As a side effect, ...

April Fools! Except Not

Yeah, there's no April Fools joke. I was going to come up with something, like an event where you never meet Maria at the beginning of the game or something. But between work, school, and getting hit with a monstrous flu bug, I didn't have the time or ability to actually implement anything. I've barely looked at the code since Thursday night, and I'm still recovering from being sick (mostly okay now). Plus, the fact that I have a specific release date of Thursday means that if I released something today, it would look more than a little suspicious. Anyway, I'm back on the job tomorrow, and I'm still looking to make that 4/5 release date. Should still be able to do it, even.
