Shuffle Me v0.4.3 - Loss Events - Small Update
Hey, it's Sifa :D
I want to sleep, let's make it fast this time xD
(download links can be found at the bottom)
Loss Events
We added more complex "Loss" events. When you lose a fight because of high stress or arousal, you'll encounter these events, which are different for both Stress and Arousal.
In these events, you'll encounter 6 new event animations that I've taken from the Robots campaign. You're going to get some new help to deal with your stress & arousal.
For now, there is no other way to encounter these events. Later on, I'll probably use something similar for "random" events, so people who always win can also enjoy them sometimes xD Otherwise, I figured "losing is fun" while designing those events, so that will be the main way to encounter them.
(let's test new patreon feature for 18+ pages - videos)
There are some issues with the Screen disappearing and similar stuff. It doesn't hurt the gameplay, but it hurts my feelings a little. Fixing persistent enemies and events will require rework of our enemy/NPC/event systems, so don't expect big improvements there too soon.
Plans and Next Steps
Clothing Balance
I balanced some cards, but haven't balanced the clothes. Clothing is very strong atm, so I need to nerf those a lot...
Sound
Our programmer Devoidex is taking their first vacation of the year soon, so that's a good time for me to deal with sound design. That's going to be my main focus while they're away.
More events
Still going to add more events. There are still more ideas that I want to add to the "floors" campaign, and I'm probably going to use RNG more for that. One of them will probably be related to masturbation.
Jester
On hold 'til I get through more audio work. Again, adding sound gets more and more difficult as I add more animations. Once I finish adding sound to stuff we already have, it won't hurt as much to deal with that for new animations xD
New cards
There are also some card ideas that I want to add, so I plan to make a new theme and change the current themes a little. The theme with all the "lewd" cards need to be expanded into 2 different themes at least. Also, the masturbation theme needs more cards that utilize toys.
