Still working on v0.13
🕑 Added 2024-06-30 16:26:22 +0000 UTCHi guys,
I'm afraid I'm still working on the next version and won't be able to release it until a few more days. I've had much more web dev work than expected this month and couldn't focus enough on the remaining code for Glassix 2 v0.13.
What I've added so far is the actor node and the event steps overview panels. In my previous post, I had introduce the global variables and flags feature that events in Glassix 2 use to determine the conditions of an event. The third and last possible condition to trigger an event is the actor which itself has lots of variables of its own. Actors are simply citizens involved in the event currently edited.
When editing an actor, it'll lead to a sub panel similar to the previous one but all the conditions will be related to the selected actor.
From there, you can select several condition focused on a citizen, most of the time, it'll check the player itself, to confirm its current location, but when events involve other characters, we'll be able to create various conditions to choose the type of characters we want: their gender, the relation or obedience towards the player, their age and so on... This way, we could have 2 similar talk events with the same event code and event sub code, one dedicated to males, one dedicated to females, so that their speech feels clearly different. We can push it further by adding conditions on the affection of the character toward the player so that low affection characters would have a rude speech while a lover would have sexy lines. That was already the case in Glassix 1 and with this interface, it'll be much easier for me to add additional daily life events to flavor the game.
Once we have our event conditions set, we can move to the actual steps of the event where actors will usually interact with each others.
This one is a bit more messy since it lists all the dialogues in the current event and their number of sub nodes involved for each step. For example, the obedience or affection might change at a specific step or we could trigger doll mode or slave mode or play specific animation or moods or change the camera angle. Lots of stuff involved in each steps here. This page is a simple overview and when editing a particular step, we'll move once more into a sub panel listing all the nodes and allowing you to add/edit/delete them. That's where I'm at. Because those sub nodes have much more variety than the actor nodes, it's taking me more time than planned, I've tried to code something which can create the rows and the necessary inputs dynamically this time as opposed to static rows used in the previous panels. This way it'll be much easier for me to maintain the code and add new nodes but this requires more time to code this way.
I'm aware this UI kinda sucks for normal players, several huge tables full of data. It's possible to add an actual live edit mode where you play and edit each step one by one with the actual 3D characters and the actual location involved but it would require event more work and since I'd rather start filling the game with more content asap, this version will do for the moment.
I'm still swamped with work at the moment and I'm not sure the additional days required to complete this can be planned in the following days :/ So you might want to cancel your pledge until I can actually deliver something concrete since that's the second month without actual content and of course, drop me a message for a refund if you'd like.
I apologize again for this new delay and I'll try to deliver this asap so that I can keep my word and give you a game worth playing and supporting.
Thank you for your time and patience!
