Quick Update
Added 2018-03-17 11:35:45 +0000 UTCAs the title says, just a quick update on how the programming is coming. The good news is that I've worked out most of the new technical stuff I needed to do. Which was more annoying than I'd hoped, but about as annoying as I expected. The trouble is that...frankly I didn't know what I was doing with Ren'py when I first started, and in order to keep it all simply I made some poor choices where code efficiency was concerned.
I KNEW that was the case, once upon a time that isn't now I was a professional coder, but I wasn't even sure I was going to keep Eros Academy going for long. I'd seen plenty of other adult games creators come and go, after all. So I let myself be sloppy, just to keep it simple and not have to spend a god awful amount of time learning everything there was to know about Ren'py. Unfortunately...at little over a year later I'm paying for that, as everything I need to do now has to be done with a time-intensive brute force approach.
Anyway, that little explanation aside, I worked out what I needed to do and mostly have the core of the new systems I needed working...if admittedly and frustratingly inelegantly. Unfortunately, that took more time than I'd thought it would, so I've only gotten two of the new scene programmed thus far.
I expect to get at least 4 more this weekend...but there's also still a LOT of tweaks to make throughout the rest of the code as well. Currently I'm hazarding a wild-ass-guess that I'll be done sometime around the 23rd-25th, but I should have a better idea after the weekend...
