Shall we dance?

Hello everyone! It took a few tries to start up this morning, but my computer seems to be working fine.
There's a few small changes I still want to make, but the first three dance scenes are finished. I'm going to add a 4th, do a bit of testing, and then then I'll put out 0.2.8, so I think it's more or less on target for this weekend.

Here are some screenshots from a test game, along with my commentary. As usual for blogger you can click the screenshots to make them larger:


Our hero - I used Chaos generation to create a random character

The dance class has a special scene for the first time you go. Here we see that one of the other students, Max, is a dick.

Just... such a dick. One day I will get my revenge

And that day is today! The scene where you dance together lasts for ten actions and I can spend them all stamping on his feet :D


Yup, unlike most other special NPCs the dancers can appear in clubs, although you'll always have your first meeting with them at the class. Dance students and the instructor are always good dancers, but random NPCs have a change of being particularly good or bad too. Now that Max has decided to chat me up, I can figure out a way to make him suffer even more. He'll regret angering a girl with the bitchy trait!

Damn it Max, you aren't suffering enough! Suffer more damn you!

WHAT THE FUCK MAX WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ENEMIES!!!!

Fine. Consider this my revenge. I mean, having a pregnant bitchy girlfriend is kind of a punishment, right?

    2. Haha thanks, I should have known you'd find a mistake! I've fixed it in the code now.

  2. Hi, I'm new to your game and absolutely love it already. 20 minutes playing the 2.6 version and I became a patron! Keep up the great work c:

    My only question is, was the game suppose to end at 26 weeks in the 2.6 version? It ended so abruptly, I was a little sad ; n ;

    1. Hello and thank you :)
      The 26 week limit dates from when I first released the game. There was much less content then and I didn't want people getting bored because it took too long. I decided to limit the game's length until there was more to do.

      We're now nearly at that point. The game will go up to 52 weeks with the 0.3.0 release which will be in March. That'll be when I improve pregnancy too so you'll be able to actually have babies - that's an important change for when the game is longer so people don't complain to me about being pregnant for 11 months!

    2. Awesome! I was just worried I had done something wrong. Until then, I can have fun playing around doing different things without worrying about having to start over because I made a mistake~

      Can't wait for March o v o Thanks for all your hard work~

    3. Would it be possible to have two modes? A short version (current 26 days) and a long version (the new 52 days). Though I'm really looking forward to the 52 days update, it would be nice to have a quick run from time to time.

    4. Initially 52 weeks will be the only option, but I might be able to put in a short game option in a later update when I do a bit more work on game setup options.

    5. You could also put to both options a choice to extend the game.

  3. just a quick question. How does the whole sleazy thing work? I don't think it can be chosen for the male character creation thing, although I'm pretty sure there is a way, right? and is there a female equivalent trait? like sex addict or something like that?

    1. NPCs don't use the same character creation as the male player-character. They have their own set of traits, and sleazy's one of them.
      Female NPCs will use a similar system when they get added - they'll probably share the personality traits of male NPCs but a physical description more like the players.

      The Sultry character is probably the closest to being sleazy as a player. If you're sultry and choose the sexual behaviour when given the choice then you'll be about as sexually overt as it's possible to be in the game.
