Feature Highlight: Gallery!
🕑 Added 2025-05-23 02:39:07 +0000 UTCThe Gallery is now in working order!
Except for Dani/Heather, which doesn't work for some reason.
Unlike the last gallery, this one takes advantage of the event buttons used to run the bondage games. How it works is:
You click the gallery
Click the box you want
Click the arrows to see the pictures
If you wanna go back, hit back and if you wanna exit, then hit exit.
While fairly simple, this was extremely tedious on the back end as RPG Maker was not built to support this. In order to not accidentally trigger anything, all images are called on their own and have to be manually added to each event.
On a technical level, this works a lot like the original bondage game found in the Hotel Caper. It uses a base gallery event that shows the hub, an event for each button, events for exit/back, and events for the arrows. In order to keep event bloat down, there is one set of arrows/back/exit that change function based on what is being shown.
When you click a box, the screen is cleared and a new event is given priority. This event will be a background, characters, arrow, back, and exit. Hitting an arrow passes event priority to the arrow, which increases or decreases a variable. It then kicks priority back to the box, which refreshes and shows a new image based on the variable. Back works in a similar way, but kicks priority back to the hub as opposed to the box. Exit uses a kill command to stop whatever is going on and reset the variables that tell the arrows what should be on screen.
As with the original, some images will be blacked out based on the route you're on. I'm considering using it as a way to hint at what track you're on but that and how exactly it would work have not been worked out.
