Changes to Attributes and Mechanics

Added 2024-09-29 09:35:31 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone!

I've been planning some changes for a while now, which is why I’ve been revisiting old content, fixing bugs, and making improvements. Now, I’ve reached the point where I can start introducing these changes.

Changes to Attributes

Initially, attributes were just a requirement to unlock the next quest. However, I didn’t like how it was turning into a simple grind, so I set that idea aside and focused more on money progression.

But while working on the Roses, I experimented with using attributes to unlock scenes, and I found it to be a better way to use them. So, I expanded on this idea by adding more attributes that focus on giving players more options.

Creativity and Charisma:
These attributes will be useful when interacting with the world. For example, if you're working at the Everything Store and have enough Charisma, an extra option might appear, allowing you to earn more money during that shift. The same applies to Creativity at the Bookstore. These attributes will also unlock more scenes in the Roses and might offer additional choices or different approaches in some scenes within the main story or character routes.
What about Intelligence and Strength?
These attributes will still be useful in the game world but will remain more focused on character routes. They’ll be exclusive to characters like Oliver or Luna and will have more impact on their specific stories.

How to Gain These New Attributes

You’ll be able to gain Creativity and Charisma through the workplaces, giving you more reasons to visit them beyond just working.

P.S.:
I’m considering changing Intelligence to Creativity since it fits better with Oliver’s story, but I need to check the code first. Only the name will change; the functionality will remain the same.

I’ve got two more updates to share, but I’ll make separate posts so everything can be better planned. I’ll also run more polls to gather opinions and see what’s truly worth investing time in.
