Devlog - Finishing Base Mechanics
🕑 Added 2025-02-25 20:42:54 +0000 UTCGetting the demo out by this Friday, as originally planned, might take a small miracle so a slight delay is likely. That said, I’ve made great progress.
The biggest hurdle right now is the loading system. Saving works fine, but I don’t want to release the demo as-is, only for players to create characters and lose those saves when the story mode update rolls out. I want to ensure a smooth transition without wiping progress.
Beyond that, I’ve made improvements in bringing characters to life. They now look at each other naturally, and you’ll have options to initiate interactions. Also added erections with physics that are fun to play around.
In the future story mode, your relationships will determine which interactions are available, with characters reacting accordingly.
Customization has also been expanded, allowing more freedom in designing and modifying clothing with patterns for full personalization.
While the story mode characters maintain a grounded, realistic style, the editor gives you the flexibility to create more fantasy- or sci-fi-inspired designs if that’s what you prefer.
Almost there... just a little more polish to go! Base mechanics are there though and I'm looking forward to continued refinement guided by your feedback.
