[1.20] Rapid prototyping
Hey guys! Work on episode 1.20, "White Russian", is going well.
This episode is a lot less complex than the last one. It's a side quest featuring Kate's (optional) date with Kolya, the broody Russian guy she met in the skybar in the early part of Girls' Night Out.
It's fully plotted, and I'm currently building a prototype version in the game engine. About the first half of the episode is now playable, and some of our lovely testers have given useful feedback on how to improve the scenes.
This week, my main effort will be continuing to build the prototype. 5 out of 11 scenes are currently working in the engine (some with placeholder text that needs punching up, and no artwork is yet implemented). I'll get as much done as I can and report back in a week.

I hope it makes up for the previous update.

I found a bug and couldn't log into Bitbucket. GNO-55026 Nice car "Love that car," murmurs. pops up with Lisa's image - looks like a little cut/paste booboo. Something I've never, ever, never done before. They call me Mozart for nothing (Mozart wrote his compositions in ink in one take). Oh, sorry I meant They don't call me ... opps.
Fixed, thanks Mozart 馃グ
I have been wondering what game engine you use? The layout and style of the game is unique and I have been wanting to do some smaller projects in this sort of style.
I believe it's a Twine 2 engine game. I haven't developed a game in Twine 2, but I have tinkered around, and I would bet that in order to do a lot of what they're doing, they have a lot of custom javascript code in there.
Any chance we will see the story from the other versions of the game put back in? Like the Glasgow missions and the university days? I still have no idea why they were cut out.
University yes! I don't think the Glasgow missions make as much sense given the changed mission briefing, but some aspects of the gameplay experience will make it into future episodes.
Two questions. Will you, in the future, go back and correct the issues still plaguing the last update? And, when are we gonna get the side story with the Thai business boys, where Kate gets measured and eventually works at that event she was hired for?
i am also looking for when "Kate" go to get her measurments. And why when i save to disk ( and on title bar of browser) is still version 1.13? I play 1.19 for patrons but this is confusing.
Check out the podcast True Spies from Spyscape. Episodes of June 6-20, 2022 three parts Sexpionage. Part two is on the Russian spy, Anna Chapman, who infiltrated NYC a few years ago.
Very much looking forward to it. I think the side quest are really important for this game. Here's hoping for a quick development time.
