I am stuck in library, so...more progress report.


Spent the last 36 hours working on the survival horror, yet action packed introduction of the game which is around 80% done by now. After that, I could finally work on the city exploration part of the game and implements all the scenes I wrote on Words.

 (Try to keep her alive till the end, ok?)

Oh well, the fact is that 50% of my time was spent to improve the combat system to include additional things that it should be able to do (Stuff like random dialog, support for different main characters). Also, finish working on the music system which turns out to be quite easy comparing to combat. Debugging is real pain though since there are so many random variables moving around that it's hard to figure out what really went wrong.
 (1/6th of the combat system spaghetti codes.....)

I also finalize the common enemy image that will be used quite often. The winner of Alako Approved Semi Cybort Not Really a Zombie award goes to.....(drum roll~~~drum roll~~~)............Husk from Mass Effect!

(Hi! My name is Husk. I will be playing the role of  "Semi Cybort Not Really a Zombie")

Planning – 70%

System coding – 99%

Story writing – 25%

Picture hunting – 90%

PS. Does anyone know where I can find a picture that a girl pulling down her dress (similar style as Ada's, doesn't have to be the same color) from the top, showing off her normal size breasts? Preferably 2D drawing!

Week 1 Update!

The main focus of the weekend is a gambling mini game which is located in a night club called "Tits and Dough" and you can probably guess what it is like in there. Be careful when trying to earn some extra credits in the club though, the owner doesn't like people owing him money.

(gambling testing)

More random encounters and areas are planned including a pretty funny one in a store. Also, you can now get Adeline drunk with random consequences. There will be a mini quest related to one of the drunken consequences as well.

(why drink in a bad neighborhood?....because you can)

Since most of the fundamental system coding is done, I am spending most of my free time writing next week. Also need to start editing some location image to fit the story better.

(adding flashlight effect)
Planning – 70%

Thanks for all the Support, Here are More Details!


First of all, thanks for everyone who wants to help me out! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!
Now, lets talk details!!!

Role Play Personality Range:

Adeline is actually an important supporting character in my original project. Therefore, her personality needs to be within a reasonable range. Right now, she would normally have 2-3 choices when reacting to different situations.
Possible personalities for Adeline are (one of them cannot not be canon, guess witch. Keekeekeee):

1) No nonsense / independent and slightly cold
2) Anything in between
3) A bit of a whole / doesn't afraid to use her body to her advantage.

When facing unavoidable sexual situations (like being blackmailed), she could be:

1) Confident with her body and sometimes even put on a show
2) Shy and ashamed about what she have to do

I know that some people are suggesting she could enslave other people in side quests, or even raping others for her pleasure, but I am afraid I cannot cater to all demands >.<. Writing tree different personalities in most situations are already very demanding. I would also suggest player to do multiple playthroughs to try out different personalities / quest solutions (or else city exploration part of the game will be really short :P).

More about Graphics:

Due to the setting of the game, I decided to use only anime style of drawing and 3D pictures in cut scenes to keep a consistent feel of the game (not location though, where can you find a picture of old fence gate with a guard house at night time......=_=""). The main drawback of using hentai / fan art pictures is that they are either featuring the character in some pretty disgusting sexual situations or just holding a gun starting at you. There are really no middle grounds between them. So, when it comes to finding pictures for some mellow scenes (striptease / consensual sex scenes), it took me hours just to find one that can be photostoped into something useful. Therefore, it kind of forces me to write about a bit more extreme sexual situations in the game (rape / group rape / public play / light bondage), but it's not like I hate writing them =P. THANK GOD that there is no romance involve in this game! @______@ Or else Adeline can only date Jill Sandwich!

Girls Can't Write Bad Guy Dialog:

Adeline will be facing lots unpleasant situations during her quest to find her friend. Therefore, she frequently has to deal with bad guys. It is hard for me to come up with different personalities for these bad guys to keep the dialog varied and especially for sex scenes....... They can't all just say "Suck it! You slut!" all the time. =P I probably need help to write "bad guys dirty talk".

Progress of Demo:

Some people thought that I could finish the whole game before April, but I was actually talking about the demo which is about 30% of the game. I want to release a long demo because RAGS doesn't allow game save to be transferred between different versions of the same game. So, it will be no fun to force player to play the whole thing for just for 10 mins of updated content. That's why I plan to release just 4 versions of the game, 30% done / 50% done / 80% done / 100% done (City exploration with option stuff to do -> combat + puzzle solving -> City exploration with option stuff to do -> combat + puzzle solving).   

Planning – 70%
System coding – 80%
Story writing – 10%
Picture hunting – 90%
BS on the blog – still 100%!!!

I didn't do much in the last 48 hours, mostly just remaking the whole combat system to make it more flexible. The decision of adding normal human enemy (not in demo) (robbers / slavers / criminals who were locked up by Adeline and wants payback) forces me to rethink how I handle the combat system. Anyway.......enough rambling from me. Back to work! I started to feel like I am writing blogs to avoid writing codes. =P
