still working on the content. finished about 15 of the new events. just as a taste of some of the things that are going to be in the update:
-elf maid, wat do
-dryad (stalled until persistent world data gets added, though)
-hitting on the guards outside doren (whether they're the horse anthro imperials, or giantkin)
-slutty nun (again, stalled until persistent world data gets added)
-an escaped leonid convict (and moral conflict!)
-actual tracking of which races you have and haven't met, so i won't have to include 'hacked' settings files anymore!
-political intrigue in doren!
-sand yeti!
-a fat dwarven nudist!
-placeholder events waiting for the combat system to be created!
-sarcastic npc's mocking your lack of an inventory!
-a cactus!
i should be able to put up a 'codex' entry (taking a cue from fenoxo) for the city of doren tomorrow. most of this is coming from scratch, so it'll probably take a while. i've also heard back from the person who had offered to build the gui; turns out he wasn't as comfortable with c++ as he thought, so i just ended up getting a bunch of really nice looking buttons from him for when i get around to coding it. still, they're nicer looking than what i had before, so it worked out.
I was just wondering how it would be cool to have a codex of sorts in the game that would tell where different monsters could be found and/or where certain ingredients could be found.
ReplyDeleteWhat comes to the elf maid, you could provide two options: one where she's willing, and one where she is less so. Beyond that, I can't think of anything right now.
regarding an in-game codex: that's not a half-bad idea, but i would need to track a lot of data points (eg, whether you've found a particular enemy/ingredient, if you've found them in each location, etc)
Deleteregarding the elf maid: this is going to be in the first series of persistent relationships i was talking about. you can either walk up and say "HAI", give her warning that someone else is around before approaching, or just straight up attack her. i haven't planned out the exact arc yet - and wouldn't give it all away even if i had. just as an example, though, if you repeatedly attack the elf and lose, it might begin a sort of femdommy relationship (calling you a glutton for punishment, deciding you're a harmless peeper and 'having fun' with you after the fight, etc), while if you attack and beat her a few times, she might start bringing a bodyguard with her.
or, if you're a guy with a really high looks rating (or fit her particular fetish, if i end up giving her one), she might just feign helplessness and bang you anyway. which, of course, leads to hijinks if all you were after was her money.
