Neural Dive update!
Hey all, apologies for this, unfortunately I did not manage to finish what I set out to do for this update. There are a couple of parts hanging loose that I'm lowkey concerned might make things more than a tiny bit buggy. While I don't enjoy doing this, I think it would be best to delay the update to next time.
So a quick runover of what's done/ being made at the moment:
Adding in sprites for Irene and Tessa (Done)
Upgrading the menu page (Partially done)
Making character status screens for everyone (Partially done, still considering some stuff for some characters)
Night events/ actions (Thinking of adding a mini-game for working, not worked on yet)
Introduction event for some characters (Partially done, will add more later)
Scene for one of the girls (probably Tessa) (Art done, scene not implemented yet)
We'll also be getting the sprites for Rena and Ange soon, who are the Blonde and the glasses girl in case anyone is wondering haha. So I expect them to be in the game in the next update as well.
On that note, I have also gotten some designs for the playboy and the janitor, though we'll likely need some tweaks to it.
After playtesting a bit, I do realise that some of the events are rather one-dimensional-ish (side note, I realised apparently the dash "-" is associated with a.i.? Anyway), so I'm thinking that maybe we could potentially expand on the game, perhaps having events that clubs that would make your the unlock conditions easier, or maybe even serve as potential conditions for getting certain girls. Though we'll have to see.
Another thing that I've been considering as well is making their locations more "fixed", while it's fun to keep it somewhat random, I think y'all might like having the characters with schedules? Like being on the roof on certain days etc? This would allow some unlocking scenes to appear more organic and grounded, but do let me know what y'all think yeah!
As usual, do let me know if y'all have anything to add on/ feedback yeah!
