Rogue-Like 1/9: Prepping for 1000 stats
🕑 Added 2016-01-10 01:16:32 +0000 UTC So some good news on the progress. In addition to clearing up various bugs and tweaking how some of the systems are working, I've also added and done basic testing on the new 1000 stat system. So far so good!I implemented the basics of it, and it was actually easier than I thought it might be. I basically just had to add a few zeros here and there, a few multipliers elsewhere, but basically the game now understands that each core stat will cap at 1000 instead of 100, and I won't have to redo any of the approval checks throughout the game, they'll just multiply everything by ten.
Now the more tedious bit begins, where I go through the stat-ups throughout the game and decide which ones get bumped up to the new 10x scale, and which ones stay at the existing scale (otherwise it would take a TON of grind to get anywhere).
And fear not, I already have a mechanism in place, and have tested it a bit, to bump saved games up to adapt to the new system, otherwise players who were at like 80% full stats would suddenly find themselves at 8% new stats, having blown most of the good ways to earn them, and that's no fun. At least we're making this change while things are still in beta.
So this new mechanism should work to boost up your existing stats, on any save-games you have. It won't happen instantly, it will happen during "wait" phases and at the end of sex actions, so if you have a save right in the middle of something, then the stats will be left at the original values (worth about 10% as much) until you hit one of these milestones. Making it check more constantly would just be a waste of game resources.
I should point out that in general it's a good idea to make sure you have saves that are situated in a nice "safe" place when moving between versions, like in your own room maybe. I always try to make new versions as backwards compatible as possible, but you never know what bugs might occur and as a player myself, I hate to see anyone lose progress, so don't make all of your saves in precarious positions. ;)
Also, this will be in version 0.94, make sure that you download version 0.93 (the current latest version) first, and make sure to load and re-save any save files you wish to continue using, because any saves from versions 0.92 and earlier will still work, but will not receive the boosted stats, so you'll have a hard road forward from them. I'll make sure to include a link to 0.93 along with the 0.94 ones, just in case. This shouldn't be a problem moving forward, btw, the new mechanism will allow me to make cleaner updates between versions.

Yeah, might take a while to get to that point, but I don't see any definite conclusion, I can keep adding new characters so long as it remains fun to do. ;)

:o a dozen girls in? I'm salvating for that moment Oni. :D
Oni
True enough at this point, although once I finish tweaking the payouts, maxing things out will take at least a bit more effort. Not to mention when there are a dozen girls in and you don't want to have to redo them all. Having the mechanisms in place to transition saves is a good idea.

The game doesn't really seem big enough for compatible saves to really be an issue. Starting over isn't exactly a chore.

Thanks, for the quick reply. I'll keep my eyes out when the next release happens and post any bugs that I find.
Oni
Yeah, I addressed that in the last thread, and hopefully I have it fixed. It seems to be something about the flag that appears when you pressure Rogue into things, and it not clearing like it's supposed to. If it keeps happening in the next build then I'll need to figure something out, but it shouldn't. I also think I fixed the crash bug you mentioned. Thanks for the reports though, they help to nail these things down. Oh, and btw, if you want to hit enter when posting around here, hold shit+enter, that does a carriage return without posting.

Sorry forgot hitting enter posted. Anyway I'm at max love/obedience/inhibitions and ever time I do any sexual action other than dancing and stripping I lose 5 love and Rogue responses are 'Oh that's what you wanted' or something similar imply that she isn't interested in any of the sexual action. While in dialogue she implies she wants physical relations, but when I initiate she acts offended when I ask for something specific. My question, are these her intended responses? And, if so why? Or, did I do something when winning her over earlier in the game that made her act like this? And if so what did I do so I can avoid it in the future? Also, as a side note basically every time Rogue masturbates the game crashes. If I walk in on her doing it, I have to reload version 0.92 to get through it. Save, then reload in version 0.93. Anyway just a bug to report there. And finally, thanks for making this game I love you and wish you the best.

I know that this is not the current topic that you just discussed, but I have a few questions.
