General Discussion

Done with chainfights and pushed. You can beat goblins for warrior at lvl 1 with some basic equipment, but you need very good items to beat slimes even at 250+ lvl. And you will get very nice items for those slimes, best equipable items in the game, basically.
Many items cannot be obtained via arena (gowns, for example). I decided to not use misc items as well, they are too valuable to freely give them away.

Not sure if I understand - you just simply want 200 more pixels of sand? If yes, then it's on DB but... not sure what you want strange size like this for.

I think I've added 200 of solid color when I've edited them.

Kewl.

=====================
I am going to see if I can load the animated bg into arena. Ended up improving some minor stuff instead of working on interactions, that code is really old so I need to kick myself in the butt in order to start working on that.

Took me a couple of minutes to find hero profile screen. And I still cannot find schools

What are you planning to do with interactions?

LoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooL

Small update:
- Removed 0.1 sec delay before switching screens during Survival as it caused screens to flicker
- Added some tunes to mains screen
- Improved MC-Setup slightly
- Added animated background to Survival fights (Thanks to Xip and CW)

(I've got your update, going to kill some later)

What are you planning to do with interactions?

I am planning to allow customized labels just like with girlsmeets, add more texts and checks (free/slave/disposition/stats). Basically just make them work for us, I don't have anything planned that we haven't discussed before.


===========================
Some parts of PyTFalls moddability are getting ridiculous. Took me 3 seconds to create animation from those backgrounds and load it into the game... looks really good as well!

Ok, thanks. I wasn't sure what was planned for alpha and what isn't.

How can this take 3 seconds? Are you following the order of frames Xipomus provided?

If you want to add texts, be my guest. I'll find something else to hack.

I hope so...

How can this take 3 seconds?

(Takes longer to write this message)

1) Throw all files from your DB folder to a folder in animations (2 secs)
2) Change one single string in the arena to name of folder in animations (1 sec)

It may have been longer but it felt like three, not that I've timed it

Dammit, how to get access to schools? I only see them in girls filters, that's all.

You have to do three quests and kill the Arena King 

(it's actually a top right button called "Training" in girls profile screen)

Ok, so I really didn't feel like doing interactions tonight...

Instead I went in and went in deep into styles. The whole concept that seemed really redundant to me at first (since it's almost never used in Alkion) is actually overwhelmingly powerful. If used properly, it might even allow to realistically adjust resolution of the game in some distant future. For now it'll make a number of things more convenient and maybe even faster.

If I don't fall asleep, I'll try to recode interactions screen using styles, it's simplicity makes it a good target practice.

New interactions screen, not like the old interactions screen



Code that builds this screen:

Code: [Select]

screen pyt_girl_interactions:
   
    use pyt_top_stripe(True)

    fixed:
       
        style_group "interactions"
       
        align (0, 0)
       
        frame:
            pos (10, 50)
            add(ginterimg) align(0.5, 0.5)
       
        frame:
            pos (1000, 50)
            vbox:
                spacing 3
                text('{size=+3}Talk') xalign 0.5
                textbutton "Chat" action Return(['act', 'chat'])
                textbutton "Praise" action Return(['act', 'praise'])
                textbutton "Scold" action Return(['act', 'scold'])
                null height 5
                text('{size=+3}Sex') xalign 0.5
                textbutton "Fuck" action Return(['act', 'fuck'])
                textbutton "Anal" action Return(['act', 'anal'])
                textbutton "Blowjob" action Return(['act', 'blowjob'])
                textbutton "Lesbo action" action Return(['act', 'lesbo'])
                null height 5
                text('{size=+3}Go Out') xalign 0.5
                textbutton "Date" action Return(['act', 'date'])
                textbutton "Entertainment" action Return(['act', 'entertainment'])
                textbutton "Shopping" action Return(['act', 'shopping'])
                textbutton "Other" action Return(['act', 'other'])

Styles are pretty useful at keeping the code clean

Xela, slave market mistress and queen's blade pack... 

I still haven't decided what to do about that. Either turn her into NPC and ship with the game or have her tell the player that she might have a twin sister somewhere in town. First will require some logic, latter is easy.

======================
I am going to start building some groundwork for balancing of stats/money rewards. That should prolly be a class or a number of classes separate from the rest of game classes. I'll start with something simple to facilitate interactions... I am busy until tonight, but if I have some energy left, I'll try to do that at least.

[DarkTl]

What is the "other" interaction? A placeholder, or you actually have some ideas?

I am not even sure about the current once if truth be told... I had many ideas but I am a messed up day so I am to tired to remember anything.

Going to rest for an hour and see if I can code smart stat rewards method for the interactions.
