Inheritance A28 TEST Build
🕑 Added 2019-04-29 04:10:49 +0000 UTCWe had a surprisingly good week this week, even if I didn't quite finish up everything I had originally set out to do. At the same time, we got a lot of stuff done that wasn't on my to-do list, AND a couple of things turned into much more involved (And rewarding) pieces of content than was originally expected. This includes three new functions in the game, which is actually a fairly significant bit of work. Counting the early laboratory content I just added to the game, this is around 25k words of new content since the last regular release just a couple of weeks ago. Really pleased with how things are coming together right now.
What's new since A27?
A28
* Wrote and added one new bed time scene related to Anna. Anna Bed Scene 3. .4k words of content.
* Wrote and added a short story for Claire to Theater Mode. Claire Origins 1. While this scene is available for all supporters online, you will need the Cheat Build to access it in-game. 1.9k words of content.
* Wrote and added eight new scenes to the laboratory. These scenes are to allow players to start learning how to use the equipment in the lab in preparation for actually creating transformative items. 1.1k words of content.
* Wrote and added a series of seven ambient scenes with Misaki discussing her sex drive with other members of the household. Somewhat rare to trigger, but they appear in many of the rooms in the house which should help balance that. 1.5k words of content.
* Wrote and added a new function to the Bathing Room. You can now make use of that room. Currently includes three "Start" scenes, three "Core" scenes, and two "End" scenes. .9k words of content.
* Wrote and added a fairly large scene for Anna related to the new Bathing Room function. Down some paths, you can make a pretty big impact on her fear and trust stats so if you're grinding for those stats this is going to be a good place to do it. 8.8k words of content.
* Wrote and added the first of a four part Wanton Cove documentary. 1.9k words of content. This is a collaborative effort between myself and LFN Park.
* Wrote and added the second of a four part Wanton Cove documentary. 2.8k words of content. This is a collaborative effort between myself and LFN Park.
* Wrote and added a new bit of code for Anna's scenes that will allow us to work a wide range of content into existing scenes, this content currently includes periods, some little snips with Mully, some personalization for scenes based on who else might be present, and some weather related content. I refer to these scenes as "Insert Scenes" since they are micro-scenes that are inserted into larger scenes. I added these for Anna's work related scenes inside of the mansion for now, but once we've had a chance to properly test everything I'll start expanding into other places, characters, and times.
* Wrote and added two generic Insert Scenes to the game. .1k words of content.
* Wrote and added eight Insert Scenes for Anna related to her working. .2k words of content.
* Wrote and added two Insert Scenes for Anna and Eve related to work hours. .1k words of content.
* Wrote and added one Insert Event for Anna, Eve, and Mully related to work hours. .1k words of content.
* Wrote and added five Insert Events for Mully. .2k words of content.
* Wrote and added eight Insert Events related to weather, time of day, and seasons. .2k words of content.
* Wrote the first of a mini-series for the television related to Wanton Cove. 1.9k words of content and there's an alternate version for if Maki is present. I wrote the primary portion of the scene and LFN Park wrote the content related to Maki and Bubbles reactions.
* Added a new scene for Claire where she texts you. This currently appears with an VERY small chance in EVERY location in the mansion and on the grounds. In the future this will be expanded to other locations. .2k words of content submitted by Irish Major Tom.
* Added a new scene for Bubbles, Maki, and Mitsuko that can play out different depending on if you've used the lab to fix Bubbles' nerve damage. The ability to use the lab is still not in the game, but the alternate version of the scene will become available once it is. 2.7k words of content submitted by LFN Park.
* Added three small ambient scenes related to Maki and Bubbles. These scenes can appear in both the back yard and the pond areas on the estate. .4k words of content submitted by LFN Park.
* Had a huge number of spelling errors reported by a fan of the game. All reported issues have been addressed.
* Updated the Special Thanks area 4/18/19. If you think you belong on this list but your name isn't there, please let me know so I can get it fixed.
Where does that leave us?
* A28 is still nearly two weeks away and it looks like I'll be working on Inheritance this week, so expect more content to be added.
* I should be receiving a new bundle of art in the next couple of days that I'll try to get into A28 so long as it arrives by Thursday, after that it becomes iffy.
* I actually have two small submission scenes that just came in that I still need to code and drop into the game. That should happen either later tonight or tomorrow (Probably tomorrow.)
* I'm about 3k words into another new function. Need to finish up the scene in question so I can drop it in the game. It's mostly coded already, so there's a fair chance I'll finish that up tomorrow.
* Both of our regular guest writers have mentioned they're working on fairly significant bits of work. I never know for sure when they're going to send work in, but if it appears in the next few days it will make it into the next major build.
