Lol, today got the last two sprites missing, one is a "sexy female therapist" and I must say the artist really got it:

It's now OFFICIAL, Jack: we DEMAND a male version!!! 8)

Male version is "Never Forget My Panties" :mrgreen:
Franka
She looks ready to make an appearance in another game down the road. :P
jack1974
I have no clue of which game you're talking about :wink:

I'm thinking to change the "Morale" stat, since for some activities doesn't make sense. For example, why Morale should go down watching Soap Operas? (OK some are terrible, but... :lol:).



If you have any suggestions... the following activities have a negative impact on the ex-Morale stat:

Go to Bed Early

Write

Read (Books)

Soap Operas

Study

Hot Bath

Museum

Decorate

Write Poetry



Basically should mean doing some asocial activity, alone. So I was thinking to change it into "Social" or some synonim?

"Loneliness" would work well.
jack1974
I thought about that, but then I should reverse the mechanic (High Morale = Low Loneliness) and that wouldn't work (it would be the only stat to behave differently).
jack1974
OK for now I put Social. It's just a word, it can be easily replaced anyway :)

Also, good news: I managed to find a good balance for the stat raising. Requires more thinking than my other games, and I think it's fun. Some people could still find it grindy, but at that point it's better if you just play it in Visual Novel Mode.

I should have the beta next week, which means if all things go well, after a small break, I could resume working on Amber's Magic Shop, to make sure it's out Q1 2017 as promised :mrgreen:
Franka
Social is fine.
jack1974
Yes I asked around and seems fine indeed :)

Forgive me if I sound like a noob, but what does "Q1" mean?

Forgive me if I sound like a noob, but what does "Q1" mean?


When used in this context, it stands for Quarter...in this case, the first quarter of 2017, so it could be Jan, Feb, or March.
jack1974
Exactly, though I was referring to the beta, since not sure how long the testing will take (crafting/shop sim game is a new genre for me).

added the various activities flavor texts. Next: do the nag/end of demo screen. Then I need to wait for the new main menu image to be finished, and it's beta time!

I forgot I also had to do the credits screen. I think I put an appropriate ending quote :mrgreen: :twisted:

Haha, ya certainly had, Jack. :lol:



And the fact that it's from Socrates, one of the great Greek Philosophers (I always did admire them) makes it that much cooler. 8)

(And I wasn't even aware he had a wry sense of humor like that, haha. :mrgreen: )
