Turns out I was mistaken
🕑 Added 2023-10-14 14:08:48 +0000 UTCWelp, Now youtube on Firefox is showing the same warning... so, I guess it's everywhere. I increased my defences and now have 3 different types of ad-killers running, but it also seems to be kinda random when the warning shows up so I'm not going to focus any more attention that direction... unless it gets worse.
I also, did a quick search and realized Chrome has like 70% of the market) Firefox is generally second) so I will develop for both browsers. Which bring me to my first point: I learned that Firefox handles animation ...differently... The result being all the sex events were running half-speed, not syncing with the sounds, and generally looking dumb. It's a known issue but the solutions were so complex. Hundreds of lines of code... Forget that. I just changed the game timer on Firefox. One line of code! Nothing can go wrong!
Another discovery, thanks to a helpful patron helpfully helping me with help, was that the gift items were actually unfinished and unbalanced... leading to the game being much harder than I'd intended. So, I've increased the total gifts from 10 to 14, spread the gifts more evenly, and weighted the gifts based on difficulty. It seems hard for me to explain this properly, so, the following paragraph is wonky... This means: on difficult, it will be the same as before, except there are 4 more gifts per women (1 more in each group: Mining, Fishing, Foraging, Farming) so every 5 items has one gift in it. For example: in mining: Once you find Stone, Clay, Granite, Marble, and Coal, you have 100% chance of one being a gift. The second gift is in Quartz, Amber, Peridot, Turquoise, Amethyst. Then, Opal, Aquamarine, Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby have the third. So you must research 15 levels in the library to have a 100% chance of all 3 gifts.
On Easy it's one chance for every 3. Once you've found Stone, Clay, and Granite, 1 will be a gift. Marble, Coal, Quartz will have the second gift. Amber, Peridot, Turquoise will have the third. So, after 7 levels of library research you have found 3 gifts (15 hearts potential) Foraging and Fishing are the same.
Medium is 1 gift every 4. This should really fix up the difficulty issues... but if not, I might slow down the NPCs as well...
On to the new stuff. The amount of loose-ends is seriously large. So, I'm focusing on that this month. Things like: Women reactions to your choices, Journal descriptions, Story branches, Haley's PROF stats...
Oh yeah, I changed Fertility to Loyalty. So, now it's PROL stats... not as catchy, but Loyalty is more logical, since it dramatically raises the chance the woman will reject other men. it will (eventually) also increase her pregnancy chance. Also, I changed Penny's timeslot to 6~12 and Haley's to 1~8, since Leah is removed and I wanted the women more spread out.
So, the only thing I can show is the new Achievements tracking I added this week. Not fully done yet but the code works. Here's an example
The achievements show once you unlock them, and also track your completion percentage. You will achieve 1~4 'star' ratings once you've reached an average of 60,70,80, and 90% complete. The women stats have also been improved. The first star is earned for reaching any sex-act (not whack-off) and higher star levels are earned from how many 'First', 'Best' or Most' achievements you gather. There is a quick-view icon by her name showing her status.
Also, the sex-stats now show you/total, so you can see both how you rank vs other men but also how 'slutty' she is in general. This is pointless right now cuz it does nothing, but I want to add in ...something in both directions... in the future for this. Like, if you raise her Loyalty to 5 quickly, then she'll turn down other men more but if you let her become a huge slut, other NPCs won't block you anymore... Something like that. Rough ideas right now... but my idea was that you could train up different 'types' of women. For example: the player only focuses on answers that gain Loyalty from Abigail's stories, so she is a virgin but also blocks the other men. Meanwhile you fully sex-up Penny first so she does everything, but only with you. At the same time, you ignore Haley, so she becomes a total slut who will have sex with anyone, anytime.
Another area I wanted to do, but haven't even started on yet... is women interactions with each-other. Like, the women would have a chance to find out you're playing other women, and get mad about it, losing hearts, or depending on their Obedience levels, accept it, or even gain a heart if Perversion is maxed. So much work to do on this game still.
Ha! another idea I've been working on (this post is never gonna end...) is gangbangs. This is likely gonna be only for $5 tier, kinda as a bonus, after game release. The easy solution is likely infinite ginseng, but also I want to expand this to have other penis styles for each NPC and you can choose to watch them (instead of just reading the day-end review) but also, if you train up the women to be 100% obedient, (or whatever) you could 'convince' her to do sex stuff with other guys. You'd get to choose what they can do, So you could force her to give BJs to the other NPCs and still keep her a virgin or whatever. Likely, I'd need to write a fair bit of new dialogue for this, and it would be significant coding work... so currently has a low chance of execution.
