Days of Old

Remember the days gone by when I would wake up early in the morning and start coding right away? ...yeah, me neither. Anyway, that's what I'm doing now. I can't guarantee I'll be working all day today (I never work all day anyway), as I have a project for one of my classes that I really need to work on today as well. But I should be able to get at least a few hours of work invested. And it's gonna be nun brothels. SO MUCH WORK.

Yeah, it's that time again

Time for still more nun brothels. Figured out last time I coded that I needed to add still more variables for this event, and these are bigguns (or at least LOTS OF THEM), so this could take a while.

Thanksgiving

I'm tired, my throat still hurts, and I was streaming.

Derailed

Been sick lately, which sucks. Today took a turn of the worse as my sore throat went way, way beyond sore. Not sure why, doctors couldn't figure it out either. The current thinking is that I abraded (scratched) my throat and that the only real solution is pain management. So now I'm on Vicodin, weeeeee! The problem is that it's making me really  scatterbrained (there's a reason I avoid narcotics), so sadly, coding is out for tonight. Also, there's this thing Thursday called Thanksgiving, which will be taking up some of my time. So it might be that there's no streaming this week. We'll see what happens.

Nun Brothels? We gots 'em.

Yes, we're still on nuns and their sexual proclivities. Considering I have about forty pages of shit related to this damn place, I got to work on it. Here some more stuff on the brothel: In addition to managing the convent-cum-brothel, you have to manage the girls as well. They all have their own idea of how the brothel should be run (generally along one of the three paths), and while they'll like the upgrades related to those paths, they won't be pleased if you choose other upgrades. While you obviously can't cater to everyone's needs (there's two girls that hate each upgrade path), you have to figure out how to keep them happy, whether that's sacrificing some profit to give to the girl, or devoting some of your personal time to keeping her happy, since all six girls like when they get personal attention. Of course, if you spend too much consecutive time with one girl, the others will  get jealous. Top that off with the fact that the girls aren't machin

The First Playtest

I said Frontiers would be ready to playtest over Christmas - my family and friends are excited to try it. I said it would be ready because I decided it was high time I got the core gameplay working, and the embarrassment of having nothing to show is an excellent motivator. But now that I have about a month left to go, I'm starting to wish I hadn't said a thing, especially since I know a new season of Breaking Bad work is scheduled to drop on me like a ton of bricks in December. On the one hand this deadline did exactly what I'd hoped it would - it forced me to step outside of the comfort zone of Let's get this working just the way I want and into the world of This needs to happen or the game won't exist. And that's been fantastic for progress, if not stability. On the other hand - Christ almighty there's a lot left to do. And I can already see all those sad looks I'll get if I have to tell them Sorry, it's not ready like I said it would be. It'

Guess what landed on my doorstep!

Here is a look at some of the sprues and an assembled trooper. It’s a bit dark out so I needed to use my desk magnifier lamp to get some shots. I will try to get some larger clearer images when I can get some decent lighting. I am quite frankly amazed at the level of crisp detail they were able to reproduce while dealing with the direction of pull from the mold halves. WGF did an amazing job…. My hat is off to them .     A few spru shots before I tore into them ;)    

Stll More Nun Brothels!

It's late, I'm tired, so naturally it's as good a time as any to do some coding. Also, I totally forgot to post this when I got it, so I'm posting it now. The artist declined to be named, but asked that I make sure to point out it was created with Kisekae, by Pochikou, which you can apparently find here ?

More Nun Brothels!

Getting ready to stream. Should be up in a couple of minutes. It's done. So, how does the convent brothel work? Well, it's easy. And complicated. But complicated things can be easy. This isn't. What was I talking about again? After you successfully sex up all the nuns, the next time you go to the convent, they'll beg you to take over as Mother Superior of the convent, kicking out the old biddy that's already there. If you decline, they are essentially forced to admit that they've broken their celibacy, they're kicked out, and the convent is closed (you monster). If you accept, then you do just that: you kick out the mother superior, take over the convent (as your new full-time job), and, to make money, put the girls to work. There are three ways you can run the brothel (I call them paths): you can run it as a convent that ministers to people with sex (Religious), you can run it for the sake of making money (Profit), or you can run it to convince people that

Nun Brothels!

Skipping ahead a bit tonight to set up the Nun Brothel Mistress job, which should be interesting, may post the details about it after the stream. Also watching election night coverage (US Elections). I'm a second-grade political junkie, got it from my dad, so I can't not watch, but it'll be on the TV, with good ol' fashioned music on the stream. Dunno how long I'll go. Feel free to tune in. Edit: Turns out I'll go to 10:30pm. Election is getting close, having a hard time concentrating. I'm getting up early(ish) on Thursday for a lot more work.

Back from the Dead

Not that I was ever dead or anything... But anyway, I'll be back to coding tomorrow.
