The Schedule Gets Weird Again

So I've been asked to work longer hours this week at my job, which is great, because, you know, money. But it sucks, because not as much free time, and when I get home, I'm too exhausted to do much of anything productive. In addition, my wife has taken this week off from work. Since Thursday is my only real day off during the week, and she has Thursday off, we're going to do something together that day. What this means is that my schedule for streaming is kind of borked this week. However , fear not. Because I have Tuesday and Wednesday off next week, which means that I'll have three days in which I won't have to do much of anything. Which is, you know, nice. And I'll be able to work on stuff, which is also, you know, nice. tl;dr This week is a little weird and I may or may not be streaming, but I will be working pretty hard on stuff next week.

Streaming Done

Today, some bug fixes, then more transformation overhauls. I should be able to get the Cat overhaul complete today, which is a pretty big milestone for a few hours of work. Cat and Cow have two of the most annoying changes, which are speech effects (the cat says "nya" at the end of some sentences, and the cow says "mmmm" for certain words), so if I can get one of those done, I'll feel pretty good about progress for today. Streaming done. Not only did I get catgirl finished, as you can see from the progress report on the right, but I also got most  of cowgirl done, and all of the planned  stuff for robot done. But then I realized...robots need to be able to upgrade themselves, and I haven't added that particular bit yet. So I'm adding that to my list of things to get done in this update, which is why robot is so low right now.

Late Night Streaming

There were other things occupying my attention earlier tonight. I don't know how long this stream will last, but I did want to work on at least a couple of things. Besides, my sleep schedule is fucked up anyway. I know there are a lot of bug in the 7/19a version, but I don't really want to do any bug fixes tonight. I want to actually add new stuff, so that's what I'm going to do. I'll work on bug fixes on Thursday. Anyway, I thought you might be interested in some other stuff that has magically appeared in my notebook. Note that not all of these are guaranteed to make it into the game, but rather are the result of brainstorming additional content similar to the church nuns and the mermaid: side-quests that the player can engage in or ignore. Webcam: Buy a webcam, start your own internet business. What are you selling? Why, yourself of course. Give the internet a striptease, or hire a "helper" and really give them a show. But remember that the internet is l...

Eye candy

Image
Wow, it’s been a looooong time since my last post. Not because there is nothing going on, quite the opposite. I cannot go into that end of things quite yet but I wanted to let you all know I’m still here and pushing forward. Many of you have been asking when the Leviathans will be in stock. I hope to have some news on that front soon and hope to be a little less cloak and dagger about current events… all in good time. Until then, queue the elevator music and enjoy some eye candy as I flex my rendering muscle and play with learning that aspect of digital design. All the best!

Mostly Fixed

EDIT:  I forgot to properly code the event that adds the wolf claw necklace to the jewelry store. I have uploaded version 7/19a to fix that  here.  That's the only change, so if you're not interested in it, don't worry about it. So let's figure out what's been fixed in this update, shall we? 1) Komodo cigarettes are now always smoke-able, as long as you're not currently smoking. 2) All clothes should now be affected by the Strip command, and all clothes can now be removed anywhere in the apartment. 3) Komodo cigarettes will now show how many you have left in the pack. 4) Going to sleep while smoking will stub out your cigarette. While this will still result in the normal health loss for smoking, it WILL NOT add to your dragon transformation, so finish the smoke first. 5) The final stage of the dragon transformation now properly updates your description. 6) Outfits gained by declining promotions at the strip club (waitress outfit, slutty schoolgirl outfit, cheerl...

Stream Over

Gotta get these bug fixed done this week, so might as well start now. Here's the list of bugs that need fixing that have been reported (in no particular order): 1) It's possible to smoke the komodo cigarettes and not be able to smoke them again. 2) Some clothes can't be stripped off or removed. (Fixed the form-fitting clothes, couldn't find anything else that would be causing problems.) 3) Komodo cigarettes don't show how many are left in the pack. 4) Sleeping while smoking doesn't have the cigarette go out. 5) The final stage of the dragon transformation never actually finalizes (player examine doesn't update) 6) Wearing anything other than designated work clothes to the strip club gets them stuck in the locker. (Can't reproduce, can't find the logic that would cause this. Need more information.) 7) Outfits gained by declining promotions at the strip club get stuck in your inventory. 8) For some reason, after a certain point, Genevieve no longer acc...

Clarification

To be clear, I'm looking for any and all bugs that you might be encountering, even if they have nothing to do with the update. I'm planning on doing a massive bug fix on Tuesday and Thursday (if need be), to squash as many bugs as possible before I start on the next version next Tuesday. Either email me (preferred) or leave a comment on the blog.

Update 7/12

Two months later... Multipregnancy is in the game. You can become pregnant with identical twins (boys or girls), fraternal twins (always a boy and a girl), or triplets (boys or girls only). Clothing descriptions haven't changed (yet). There's a new variable: Multiple Pregnancy Chance. This starts at 1%, but is increased by ANY increase in fertility (feminine tea, fertility treatment, etc). It decreases very slowly, so unless you want every sexual encounter to potentially result in twins or triplets, you may not want to raise it too much. Also, I finally realized that I never moved babies to the bedroom after they were born, so...I did that. Babies # 2 and 3 don't have any interactions because I just realized I forgot about that, so good job, me. Oh, and if you're pregnant with triplets, you might want to keep your strength above 50. Otherwise, you might find it difficult to do...anything. Werewolf TF has been changed slightly. You can no longer become a werewolf if you ...

More Codin'!

I really, really want to get a version out today, but there's a lot of stuff to work on, unfortunately. We'll see how long my desire to work can win against my desire to be a lazy ass. Dragon Girl TF is almost done, so that will be first. EDIT: Dragon Girl TF is done. Then finishing up multiple pregnancies, which (fingers crossed) shouldn't take more than an hour. EDIT:  It took more than an hour, but it's done. Adding some testing commands now. Then the high arousal events, which are actually done but for the displayed text...I think, it's been a while since I've looked at them. So buckle up, chuckles. Let's go for a ride.

Codin'!

Got to get this update out, so I can get on to the next thing! I counted up my pages of notes today, something I never really bothered to do, but I had a brain fart today and couldn't think of anything else to do while waiting for it to clear (I do keep track of my mechanical pencil usage, which today resulted in the death of pencil #10). As it turns out, I have 368 pages of notes for this game, over 3 notebooks (2 and 1/2 so far, anyway). That...is a lot of notes. Today's notes mostly revolved around the coding specifics of the various transformation changes, which is ten pages, brainstorming for new main plot and side plot content (things like the church nuns, or the mermaid at the beach), and figuring out the specifics of what happens when a werewolf player meets the werewolf random encounter while out and about. Also came up with a few new items. Someone pointed out that there's no items to reduce lip and hip size, so I had to come up with those (minty lip gloss and keg...

Saturday Streaming

Streaming for a bit this weekend, trying to get stuff done since my supposed week off ended up being a bit of a cluster-fuck. Note: it will be intermittent. An hour here and there as I find time. Edit:  Well, that's probably all I'm going to be able to get done today. But dragon TF has jumped significantly up, and I'm thinking I might be able to have a release out within the next week.

Apologies

So, obviously, there was no stream on Thursday. There's a lot of things that happened, but what it basically came down to was I hadn't done any work on my classes for the week, and I had to play catch-up for the morning. Then in the afternoon, I had to clean up my apartment, something I haven't done in weeks. It was almost at a 1 on the Apartment Cleanliness scale. This week should be a bit more straight-forward in terms of scheduling, and I even have Wednesday off for Independence Day, which is nice, so the hope is that I'll be able to get a lot done.
