It's the "P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face..." update
🕑 Added 2022-09-20 05:58:27 +0000 UTCWhat's this? A mid-month update? It seems so, and for a change, it's all good news.
Good news the first!
The headline is that we've got some more testing out of the way and, for a pleasant change, with nothing in the way of errors cropping up codewise either. Given it was the poker module and the coding for that is....um....extensive, I'm banking that as a major, major, win.
It doesn't hurt that it also looks bloody gorgeous*. Completely animated from start to end with dynamic movement of clothing and everything else that goes with it. I've a few minor graphical tweaks to rectify with the odd bit of clipping etc but nothing that can't be corrected on overnight render runs. I'll pop a gameplay video of it at some point once it's nicely tidied up.
I also have half a mind to re-use the code for non-canon modules whilst working on future chapters. With three machines at hand it should be possible to run the animations needed for one of the other girls and just drop them in the code without getting in the way of making anything else. I have this concept of an idea of making almost like a challenge series. Beat girl X to unlock girl Y etc etc. It would fit nicely in the bonus pack. Something to think about at any rate.
Good news the second!
The bugs in the main game have now been completely locked down to just the revised GUI. So with them all penned in there, it's just a straightforward matter of re-writing the code for it. In theory, the existing code is fine, but "in theory" is no use if it's not working in practice. The guilty party does appear to be the call routines embedded within it so that just comes down to a bit of re-think on my part on how else to do it.
Good news the third!
I'm declaring myself fully fit. So we can finally close the book on that one. No problems at all over the past few weeks so time to put my foot to the floor again and get on with things without being wrapped in cotton wool. My apologies once again for the delay that this has caused and my thanks for your continued patience.
I'm still not entirely sure I'll be charging on patreon next month. I'd feel more comfortable with a lot more testing under my belt. If I can get a lot of the game cleared by the end of the month, I'll switch it on again. If I can't, I won't. I'll have more of an idea back end of next week and will let you know.
Annnnnnnnd that's it for now.
Stay safe, be lucky.
