Weekly Status Report
🕑 Added 2024-06-21 14:00:24 +0000 UTCGood afternoon,
again, almost weekend so time to give you another update on my work this week.
After the update on Monday some bugs had to be fixed. I have put the corresponding hotfixes in the release post (you can also see what has been fixed there).
The rest of the week I was mostly busy working on new maps. Most of the maps (interior of the Estate) are now finished, but the one south of Arenfield is still incomplete, I plan to use it also for Penny's story. That is what I will continue to work on today.
Next week, before I go on vacation, I want to complete the daily cycles and start working on the cows (sprites and breeding). This will probably require further changes to the Arenfield map, as I also want to give the Player a way to renovate the barn.
For that I also have the idea to make it an alternative path for upgrading the MC's house. Right now that is only possible after the MC helped Emily. By renovating the barn, he would gain similar experience, and with the knowledge gained he would then be able to renovate his own home.
This will then require a bit of rewriting of the previous events (in case you do them in a different order). But in general, I think it's a great idea that there are several ways to reach the goal.
I won't continue working on the actual story until after my vacation. For that I want clear and undivided time (with no 2 week break in between). So I will use the coming week to create a good foundation so that I can then concentrate fully on the story and the following scenes after I returned back home.
Next Friday I will write another report and go into more detail.
For now I wish you all a nice weekend!

I think the barn is yet to be explored more, it is "just there" in my mind. I think to upgrade it and make use of it more early in the story would be a good idea. So that you can decide if you want to upgrade the house first or the barn would be a good concept i think.

Let me attempt to convince you to cut out some of the work: Having been around a few barns and houses, old and new, barn construction is fundamentally different than house construction, so building one does not necessitate being able to build the other. I think you can keep these as separate projects. Thats my argument to attempt to cut down the workload you're putting on yourself. :) Hope your upcoming vacation is nice and relaxing!
