Progress Report!

Hello everyone!

It's been awhile since I have posted! I have been thinking and working hard on the game. Though it will take some time to release (as I mentioned in prev announcement), I will keep on reporting what I am working so far. I, now, understand why it takes long to develop a game. In my part, I implemented a lot, but in player's perspective, it's not a lot :(, making me think again that I should add more contents per update.

Anyways, here are some features that is complete at this point:

• As planned, a unique character: Stacy created!

  • She will be a neighbor from B or C city.

  • Stacy is working in a company, and she is well known as a hard worker.

  • More info will be given later on :).

• Version naming back to alpha -> Need more solid and complete update from now on. After alpha and beta might go back to 0.1 minor numbering. (instead of 0.4)

• Skip Dialogue, Show / Hide text box implemented.

• Cafe work minigame implemented.

  • It's some kind of reflex game that fast ordering is represented.

• Pub work minigame implemented.

  • It's a QTE game that requires right timing. Failure will cause H Events.

• Bug fixed where some of the buttons were disabled while clicking.

• Bug fixed where Shop choices are wrongly formatted.

• Bug fixed where Arie is not displayed correctly.

• And so on...

It took some time to implement these functionalities because I needed some idea to make the game more enjoyable, and I thought one of them is minigame.

Being done this week (hopefully):

• Additional Events: (@@@ MOST IMPORTANT @@@)

  • Some of the events planned are following:

    • IntroEvent -> Need more logical reasons why Arie should earn money.

    • Defloration -> As some of you already mentioned, it is necessary to put in in order to give immersive experience. (H)

    • Information given events -> Currently, there are no specific storyline. However, there needs to be some kind of "fate" chosen for Arie to lead her to main storyline. (H?)

    • Roaming Events:

      • Advertisement to new drinking place other than pub.

      • Ask instagram ID. (Though, need alternative name for instagram?)

        • This will lead to some directions: Good and bad.

      • Volunteer opportunity

      • Kidnap? -> Maybe doing it.

      • And so on...

    • WitnessCrimeScene -> City C Event (H)

    • FakeVideoInterview -> City B Event (H)

    • Slum_Treasure -> Slum Event (H?)

  • Not all events are written, and some of them might be abandoned.

• Landlord + Loanshark part polished.

  • Currently loanshark part is not done at all. Need to lead the storyline in order to finish it.

  • Landlord will lead to new city if Arie can move to another place. -> Need to be worked on.

  • And so on...

I tried not to show a lot of my plan, but eventually, I am quite a talker :(. These are some of all that I got so far! Thank you for your interest and feedback! I really appreciate them! Please keep your eye on the project, as we are making it together! :P

P.S. I saw one comment before it got deleted, I think those kind of situation will be going to be added as well :). Though, careful what you are writing in this community! I see they are strictly monitoring the comments and posts.
