Christmas Update Progress Report!
🕑 Added 2021-12-19 01:21:09 +0000 UTCHello folks.
Honestly , I've been trying to adopt more of a work first, tell later attitude when it comes to developing my projects. As such, I've been rather quite this time.
Well, there were other reasons too....
Spiderman (awesome)
Witcher Season 2 (awwwweesome)
And a few other things, but for the most part -- I've been diligently working from the shadows.
Lately I have also been doing more research and analytics, seeing what works and what doesn't so that I can better support future growth of the project. This will be necessary as I still need to purchase a new computer in order to do more for the project in the future. Bills have been practically gangbanging me for months now and along with the holidays I've also been double timing it with delivery jobs.
Still, I can't lie, the situation is slowly , surely getting better. That's thanks to you all, and your continued support. So thank you!
Without further adieu, I'll share some of what I've done with you since we last spoke:
- Fixed the inventory paging / crafting paging in the project.
- Sorting out item handling (for example, sorting based on quality, etc, with a focus on easily removing some items , still a WIP and testing).
- Added approximately 20 new videos (a mix of scenes and encounters) and 200+ new renders.
- Implemented bath (adds temporary benefits to your character and allows for fun with each person.)
- Implemented the Intimacy system (so you can have fun anytime).
- Revamped the spells so that it's easier to keep track which ones you have active and what they do.
- Extended the main story a bit, with more on the way.
- Experimented with some advertising. It's not going too badly but it could always be better and of course it's costly. Meh, but building things from the ground up with limited help usually are. ^_^
- Research, research , research on game dev, and how to make the project better in general.
I still have a few more things to do based on what I initially set out, but a lot of it is pretty minor. I doubt I will have to extend the deadline any (originally it was 12/20), but if I do I will make 12/22 the absolute latest, basically if I have to push the date you'll still get some Hom Factory for Christmas.
