Hey there,
the time being occupied with this current version felt like an endurance test for me. And I passed!
Updates:
- the forest section is ready for Amanda to explore. FOR NOW she'll only get a new slave type from there
- plantgirls added to the game; including all the images, animations and variations (*1)
- added a pause feature
- in the client's 'likes' list wont be any attributes anymore, that would exclude each other (like for example: short hair <-> long hair)
- you can now look at all the clients preferences, while they are in the queue, to plan ahead
- while choosing a location for Amanda to travel, you can now recall her
- if you leave the flash application, the background should stop scrolling (*2)
- slaves are now holding an "open hair" attribute, which is the exact opposite to the ponytail quirk
- slaves loading faster, when continuing a game
- the game has been made a bit 'fullscreen' friendlier in general
- tons of other small stuff, like new startscreen tipps, new quirks, switch of some indicator colors etc, etc, etc,...
Changes:
- 'ponytail' now has the 'long hair' attribute
- all your girls gain double the experience points, when executing their labor of love (*3)
- chance, a client will sit down to drink something has been reduced
- sending a client to a room he doesn't want, will not influence your reputation to the negativ anymore
- the punishment for dismissing a client has been reduced by 33%
- the reputation you gain from a 'perfect client bonus' has been increased by 25%
- nevertheless it will be much harder to get a higher reputation now, depending on which reputation you already have
- the behavior of the client loving girls and drinking beer has been improved. This happens off stage, so you won't notice anything (It's more reliable now)
Bugfixes:
- critical bug fixed, which slowed the game down on longer game sessions. You don't need to reset every few days anymore
- if you had exactly 500 coins the game won't let you go to the slavemarket, although you had the money for a slave. In addition, this question of letting the player go to a different location will now be asked while you are on the map (compass)
- clients now spawn off stage
Known flaws :
- the only elevator going down, slows the game down. I already found a decent solution. I continue working on it. This issue has my highest priority now
- often the clients are walking beneth a other client, who is actually in front of him ---> will be improved at the next opportunity
- currently the pause feature also resets the timer when clients spawn ---> will be improved at the next opportunity. So you should only pause when it's really necessary or directly after a client has spawned
- edited: It seems you can still seldom assign 2 girls to one room. If that happens, please restart the game (your savegame stays). I will get to the bottom of this!
- edited: currently you only get a static amount of clients, no matter which reputation you have! (bug is fixed and launches with version 1.3)
(*1) plantgirls added to the game; including all the images, animations and variations:
Later it will be more worth sending Amanda to other locations. I need to
implement different stuff first. Also getting plantgirls won't cost you
a thing for now, since they don't care about money at all. Later they
will be buyable maybe for some kind of item? I will see.
(*2)
if you leave the flash application, the background should stop scrolling:
I hope I didn't make the gaming experience worse. I need your feedback here.
(*3) all your girls gain double the experience points, when executing their labor of love:
I do this for future updates, to fasten the overall gamespeed up.
In general, I am happy how reliable the client moves, also that he is smart enough to actually find the exit.
Also, for the future I will add some helpful information to the tutorial section of this blog, to help you guys (provisional), finding the right combos; for example:"What exactly is exotic hair?"
Furthermore I say that I haven't test older savegames for the current version. But there is actually a great chance that your savegame can be used for the new version. Feedback would be welcome.
At last I have some advanced information to the plantgirl:
The plantgirl (Flora slutus servus dominanta)
Habitated in various forests, plantgirls love traping and catching male hikers. If they have been sucessfull, they can keep them tied up for days and refresh themselves on the victim's seeds from time to time. After exhausting their nourishment source, they will let the poor human go, for the chance he will serve her another time.
Interestingly some men actually go back to her as a volunteer. Scientists claim, this behavior could be explained by some kind of spores the plantgirl excretes. Non-Scientists think, those people are just freakin' perverts.
However, since seeds (yes, I mean the human ones the whole time) are quite a dainty for the plantgirls,
they will gladly help Amanda out with her buisness. But she needs to
have an eye on them, because they always take what they want and they
can often be very rough about it. Nevertheless, the clients will love
them for their friendly, alluring arise and childish aura.
