HardLife - Gym NPCs

I have 4 NPCs planned for the Gym. It looks like they will be among the first permanent* characters added to the game. It will take some time to implement them, but I think you'll be pleased.We have Vicky, the gym owner... a petite 5-foot-nothing 26 year old gal... or so she would have everyone ...

HardLife v0.2364 private beta

https://sta.sh/052159zfdgkv0.2364New, experimental text-illusion feature. You will need high awareness to perceive it. If your PHY and WSD scores are incredibly high, talk to the girl at the front desk in the gym... read the text closely, then wait a few moments. ;) (There are 3 hidden messages in t...

Almost there...

I need to split the workout logic up a bit. I have the load-based logic complete, but it doesn't work well for time-based workouts (which I already have the logic for, but I need to branch the Gym code so it doesn't try to use load-based for everything).So I'll have to review the workout...

HardLife - Gym Exercise Chart (prototype)

This table is a list of ratios/parts to each exercise. Don't try to read a body-region top to bottom, that's meaningless. The chart reads left-to-right, any particular value in the exercise is divided by the SUM of all values, which gives as a fractional value to work with. That fraction is ...

HardLife - on training, conditioning, and injury

Okay, after careful review, I believe the best course of action is to track progress in individual muscle groups. Its a fair amount of work, but I believe the game will be much better for it.First off, everyone has their own favorite area/group they want to focus on, and the description system needs...

We have a map! (someone please thank Ms. Long)

Now the game knows how far everything is apart, and I have a feel for the city layout, I can begin adding these new locations... starting, of course, with the Gym, Gas Station, Motel, and Diner for v0.3Then continuing with the Bar and Prison, Apartment, Condo, Police, Fire, House, Quikburger, Junkya...

HardLife v0.227 beta

2 way basic damage, and status/condition update that indicates when a fighter has been knocked out or killedEncounter rates have been adjusted so stalker/fight occurs frequently for this beta, but no so frequently that you cannot play normally.

Halfway to combat... v0.225

The damage formula and action(s) are nowhere near final, but we finally have a working interface with reasonable opponent generation. Still quite a bit to go before v0.23, but we've made it past the hard part.Combat is currently only triggered by the stalker encounter, which has a <1% proc rate ...

Weekend of Combat! (HardLife v0.23 underway)

Combat starts with a wallet... no, really, the updated randomLicense() method generates not just a name, but age, gender, weight, and height. A good beginning for random encounters, hostile or otherwise. Next I add a set of random stats to make the person combat/contest-ready.Then I build the 1v1 co...

HardLife v0.21 (now 35% less grindy, same great taste!)

HardLife v0.21 released early as hotfix for v0.2 cycleOn reviewing feedback and retesting, I discovered that the LOOK FOR CHANGE action was returning less than half the expected coinage for the amount of karma spent (prior to this fix, shoplifting was more efficient @3 karma/$1 vs 3 karma/$0.55)Furt...

HardLife nearing first demo

Programming some of the items now, basic food stuff so you don't starve. Beverages, Snacks, and Candy for now... junk food to be sure, but until I work out a cooking system, it will keep you alive.Items have charges, a use/serving counter that applies surprisingly universally. (even works for we...
