That's fine, I know you do it only to help :)

Back to the game, I'm going to integrate the yuri romances into the system, as I finish the last robbery part. I also asked artist to do fullbody versions of all the romance character, since they were done only waist up... and that was causing problems with the characters height. If you used key H or middle mouse button to hide the dialogue box, you would see the poor Mary-Ann without legs :lol: (not good).

Anyway this shouldn't be a reason of delay. After this is done, I'll see how much work there's left to do coding/writing but I might commission those extra CG images I was talking about a few days ago, since some could be quite fun and some... quite sexy :wink:



Today had to check a bulk of texts for Cursed Lands too, which is coming out well, so hadn't time to work much on this game but next week will resume :)

After seeing this screenshot and the one Jack just posted on blog from PSCD I thought Jack intentionally puts screenshots that have mistypes as in order to say spelling is not perfect and i am not pretending it to be.



Not that i mind it.
jack1974
Haha no, it's not like that. I pick them randomly but every time seems like out of 150 pages of texts, I ALWAYS pick the ones with inevitable typos (if you write so much it's normal to do some small errors).
jack1974
Speaking of delays... the weekend was a bit crazy with some family issues (I'm fine but lots of time wasted driving), and today woke up with an insane headache/migraine which vanished only now, so the morning (most productive period of the day for me) is gone. So that's how you waste 2-3 days doing basically nothing :(

(I was able only to do some work for Heirs & Graces since that was easy stuff compared to RPG coding).

Hey that is fine, self care is first, glad you are feeling better.
jack1974
I've finished also the "Mercenary Area"! :)

I'm going to review everything and then send the file to Forsaken to rewrite/edit it like she did with the catacombs. Meanwhile I'll check all the yuri scenes and add missing backgrounds, integrate them into the map, etc. Then I'll have to do the same with the otome scenes.

So it's still quite a lot of work but at least progress is being made!

I've finished [...] everything [...]!

Great! Release now!
jack1974
Haha not now, but depending how things go, next month I could maybe do a sort of beta, without endings etc. It's just that I have a lot of other things going on right now! And I can't release the final game until all the story/art is in it, so... :)
jack1974
OK I found someone to help me scripting Never Forget Me :) So I can get back working on this game. I think from now on, I'll ask other people do to those tasks, since are simple (but long/boring). I honestly feel a bit wasted doing that, when I could be adding so many bugs in a new RPG game! :lol:
kadakithis
Yay!, Queen of thieves is the one I am looking forward to most, just dont wear yourself too thin. :)
jack1974
No worries, since I already did the biggest part (the RPG and robbery sims) this last part is a walk in the park compared to it. It only takes a lot of time to check all the scenes :)

Each character will also give you a permanent bonus to help the three sisters reach their goal :wink: Will probably need to be tweaked even if will be hard to make all the bonus be worth the same. Since I plan to allow a visual novel mode on this game too, shouldn't force people to pick who to romance based on the bonus at the end! :mrgreen:

.b...buy? ...But they're thieves!!!!



They should get his stuff for free :p
jack1974
They're thieves but don't steal from good guys like the poor Fredrick :mrgreen:
Thee Forsaken One
Fredrick is their fence. It would be a bad idea for them to steal from him.
yayswords
Does he know he's their fence? I mean, I gotta question Jack calling a fence a good guy :P
jack1974
Well I don't want to give out too many spoilers. But from reading the story is clear why they wouldn't rob him :)

Can you use cosmetic rewards? Like allowing [one of] the sisters to look different, or decorate the screen with something small like you did with Spirit of Ninim.
jack1974
The sisters look depends on the outfit you buy, and since YOU (forum people!) wanted to be able to do the paper-doll thing, all outfits have no stats (and you put use the gem sockets to add them). I don't think other kind of customization on the characters would be possible, but the bonuses are varied enough I think.
pahldus
For one of your future games you should consider outfit DLC. People really do like to dress up their characters. A game like Guild Wars 2 is still going strong mostly due to cosmetic items available in their game store for real money.
