Act 1 Update
Added 2020-09-25 14:06:26 +0000 UTC
Hi everybody. I've been working hard on getting this update done, and I've almost got it completed. Before I give a rundown on all the stuff I've finished and what I have remaining to do, I want to again ask for anybody who is interested in helping me beta test the game, please send me a message. I'm looking for five people who I would send the game to early to help me test for bugs before the public release.
UPDATE
Okay, so here's a quick list of all the things that I had planned for Act 1 and where we are with that progress now:
- Improved Navigation (DONE)
- Choice at work (DONE)
- Conversations for characters (DONE) - Added 5 conversations for Jamie, Suzy, Lisa, and Dana, 3 conversations for Mrs. Mills.
- Lock in character schedules (DONE)
- Help Screen (DONE)
- Stat Screen (DONE)
- Add month and day system (DONE) - Originally I planned on adding a calendar to the phone as well here, but I've scrapped that for this update. Probably will do this in the future, but there's not much need right now and it's a lot of work for little function.
- Fix images (65%) - Still working on a couple of these. I've mostly focused on the shower scene after mowing the lawn.
- Fix shower sex animation (95%) - I've rendered all the frames, just have to make a video and get it into the game.
- Multiple script edits (DONE)
- Different colors for character names (DONE)
- Add clothing choice for date (DONE) - You'll be able to buy formal wear from your laptop and wear it on dates if you'd like.
- Fix Ms. Welch's character model (DONE) - She's got tattoos and piercings now. I'll post a preview image soon.
- Replace temporary background images (DONE) - Say bye-bye to the Gregg's image. I also got rid of some of the other exterior shots that aren't really necessary for the game right now (police station, movie theater).
- Create a Mac and Android version (DONE) - The android version does not have full functionality right now (still not playing some of the animations). Everything else is good though, so I'll have to look into that in a future update.
- Fix Variables (DONE)
- Write a walkthrough that covers all chapters (75%) - I worked on this yesterday and will be finishing up today.
- Add a credits page (DONE)
- Add scenes for Suzy working at Java Lava (DONE)
- Add scenes for having coffee with Jamie (DONE)
- Add cellphone bill (DONE)
- Create a new title screen (DONE)
CONCLUSION
So, as you see, almost done with this update. I'd like to send it out to Beta testers on Sunday, test it throughout the week, then public release will be Friday, October 2nd. This update doesn't have any major new scenes, but I feel like it definitely makes the game better to play. I hope you all enjoy.
Thanks as always. Love ya!
