Dev Log #9 - New Gameplay

Hello hello! There's a lot of new players this week and if any of you are reading this, I'd like to let you know that I'm in the middle of a major update for Queen's Brothel. I post weekly dev logs to let everyone know what I'm up to!

I'm very satisfied with the code for the new gameplay mechanics. I think I'm ready to move onto progressing the other parts of the code now. Especially, the character creation. Remember all that Photoshop scripting stuff I did back in dev log #1? Yeah, well it's not really done. I basically did Queen, realized how tedious it was to recreate all the Photoshop files, and then moved onto other things. But now I have to do it to move forward.

Full Girl Bodies

I wasn't a fan of putting the girl's avatar on their "room" during a battle. It's nice because it's small and easy to tell the player what the box is for, but I think it's a lot cooler to have a live girl image there. Live meaning it can update in real time. If a client finishes on a girl, the image will update with his juices all over her. If I want to change the girl's emotion on the image, I'll be able to.

Real-time Bars

There's going to be 3 bars for each girl's "room" during battles. Health, Ultimate, and the client's c*m %. It's a little tricky to make all of the bars play with each other, but ultimately I was able to figure out how to make it work this weekend. Having the proper code to update those bars is very important because if you run too many lines of code on one frame update then people's computers or phones will lag. I've ran into this problem many times in the past because I didn't understand how to properly use tweens, but now I think I've got the hang of it!

Conclusion

Short dev log this week just because we talked about all the new RPG mechanics last time, and now I'm implementing them. Don't have much to say, but I have the demo above to show. Next up, I'll be adding all the characters to the game, making the sound work, and then moving on to quests + dialogue.
