Weekly report #2 (and #1)


Hi guys! It's been two crazy weeks, but now that everything has calmed down, it's time to start a new series of weekly reports. This would be the second one, due to the fact that a I had to skip the first one thanks to a 3 day blackout in my home that disrupted my work precisely on my update week. Damn it.

During the last update, I made weekly posts reporting about everything done in the week, usually by monday. Now I'm planning to do the same here, just on tuesday/wednesday. So let's begin with our 2x1 offer.

Everything went smoothly, for the most part. On the week 1, I did the first hotfix (thanks to an unfortunate name change on the .html file). I started to code the system for the random events, but then that week the blackout hit, and I lost 3 days (almost four). During the blackout, I just wrote on a notebook on pseudo code the boring programming stuff I planned to do on that weekend, so when the power returned on week 2, I had something to work on.

On week 2 (last week) I started to code what I had on my notes. It went... good, bugs here and there but in two days I had the random event system implemented, with two non-sexual events that happen randomly. The concept is very simple: When you move from one location to another through the map, one random event might happen. After the event ends, you're on the location you selected earlier. Of course, not all events are so "friendly" and some may end you in other places (like, for example jail) so it leads us to the second system I implemented last week.

If you get busted by the cops for having a fight, that should be reflected somewhere, so I went and did the criminal record system, where it tracks the infractions you do. Cause enough mayhem, and you'll have the visit of the not-so-friendly-and-always-horny GGPD to sent you to jail. This system will be important on one future storyline, involving criminal gangs/police in the future. For now, it just affects some random events on the map. So how do you view your criminal record or try to erase it? if you have enough computer skills, you'll have the chance to hack to the GGPD system and do that. Better get started learning programming.

I also had the second hotfix, 0.20b with a fix when you fail any job on level 3. Update if you can guys.

I'm also investigating more about a persistent scene gallery, where you can replay scenes from past playthroughs. I'll have more info on that next week.

Now, before I end, about the next update (0.21): As you know, there is a poll on my patreon about what storyline go next (Sex worker or adult film star) so we'll have to wait until september 10th when the poll closes to know what will be the next storyline (if you join before september 10th you have the chance to vote). So the next update won't be about the storyline, so I decided to focuse it on the random events (at least five), along with some systems in place (like the criminal record or the scene gallery) and one or two extra locations to explore. It's a rather small update but it will be the base for future storylines.

So that's it, see ya next week folks. Back to the cave.
