The "Todo" List!

[letmein]

So, I actually spent five minutes really reading through this thing...   I'm not sure what is and isn't still planned, but there are a couple things in here that are worth commenting on, I think.  Mostly just to say "this would be neato!".

So, going down the list:

:::INPROGRESS:::
- add prison to town map, where you can bail out girls taken from you.
- add talk scripts to customers
- implement losing brothels if number of bussiness controlled is too small
- sons replace a gang member in one of your gangs
- gangs now have a loyalty value (sons will increase this value)
- add monster slave market when number of territory controled is increased.

Most of this would, indeed, be neato!  How much of this is included in the next update?


Dug out of the "FEATURES" section...

Add "perks" to player. The player gets points from acheiving objectives and can spend them on abilities that boost certain things.

I'm still not really sure if this is a good thing to add or not.  It might make the game a little more objective-focused, but on the other hand it's another complication, and I am a dedicated follower of the KISS rule.

Add ability for girls to attach to gangs (loyalty will be an important issue)

...?  I'm not exactly sure what this is.  Does this actually put girls within the gangs, or are they just...  moral support?

mini princess maker game for children (will require redo of how children are processed).

WHOA!  How have I not ever noticed this before?  How neato would this be?

Seriously, guys, this whole thing is well worth reading.  There are a lot of planned, or once-planned, features hidden away in the list that deserve comment or, in a few cases, awe.



[/]Switching to the "TRAITS" section...[/]

Code: [Select]

A Caring trait for those soft heartedgirls.
 
Sexy Tattoos (raises Beauty maybe)scary tattoos (raises combat slightly, and maybe BDSM,) and magical tattoos(raises mana and magic abilities) and maybe have like a sexy, magical, andscary tattoo kits in shop that are expensive.
 
Piercings (has ears pierced) Heavilypierced (has nipples and navel pierced as well) and Fully Pierced (has clit andvag pierced) I'd have each set reduce constitution and rebel slighly and raisecharsima. And have items sold in shops that when applied give the trait, maybehave girls like getting earrings but not like nipple and clit sets.
 
I'd also suggest chaging the lolitatrait to "Has the body of a young girl" or something instead, becausesexually active implies they've had sex but most of the generated 18 year oldsare virgins which sorta makes that feel weird. Also, having big boobs shouldcancel lolita.
 
A 'mature' trait for girls above acertain age wouldn't be too bad to counterbalance the lolita-trait.
 
Actor - Whether she's faking or notyou'll never know.
 
Afraid of Men - Very fearful of men,perfers women.
 
and a Animal Lover thats does the samething as Lesbian but for animal >.>

Assassin (Higher Tier class): Expecther to escape fairly easily, and expect to find plenty of bodies dropped deadalong her wake. Hope it isn't you next. She will be nearly impossible to find.Of course, she can serve as quite a useful tool if you're on her good side.
 
Bard: A travelling performer of dance,song, and stories. High charisma and natural beauty. Inspires people with hermusic (increased happiness and patrons). Can also invoke sorrow (decreasedhappiness and patrons). Depends on her loyalty and happiness. Is really damn goodat performing for the patrons (once light-side "Escort Clubs" are in)
 
Barmaid - This girl has worked in abar and is used to serving drinks and taking tabs and tips (in game could givea bonus to working in the bar or give a boost to the Constitution Agility andCharisma stats
 
Big Bang-every time she gets a exp,all other girls get 5% of the total amount.
 
Blackguard/Dark Templar (Higher tier):Same as Champion. Has Dark Magic instead of Healing.  Max BDSM. A slayer of men. The blackest ofhearts. She enjoys the suffering of others.
 
Blessed: Luck is always on her side.More things of good fortune happen to her.
 
Blind: This girl has absolutely nosight. Training is only half effective. Rebelliousness lowers at twice theregular speed. Customers will not be as satisfied.
 
Brainwashed: Through the wonders ofmagic, she is under your command, of course there are a few minor side effects.Zero Rebelliousness, fear is reset, hate is reset, however all skills drop tozero and must be retrained.

Champion (Higher Tier Class): Can healherself (and allies if applicable), high rebelliousness. Higher magic andcombat. Higher regeneration. She who slays demons, expect her to kill you firstif you wrong her. Giving her platemail and a long sword is a very bad idea.

Cursed: Gee, seems like she's alwaysgetting the short end of the stick.
 
Dancer - This girl is a skilled dancerand is used to performing in front of people (in game could give the girl a boost to her market charisma, Constitutionand Confidence) 
 
Dark Knight/Fallen Paladin: Same asWarrior.
 
Dungeoneering: This girl understandshow to optimize a group's chances of survival during dungeon exploration.Decreases damage/casualties on a dungeon run, increases chances of loot.

How about a Shape Shifter trait thatlets the girl answer any customer fisical fetish (big/small boob, Loli, GreatBody, maybe even futa)
 
If there's going to be a steriletrait, there should probably also be a fertile one.  In fact, there should probably be oppositesfor most of the traits (seems like this is already implemented for some: fastorgasms vs. slow orgasms, etc.).  Also,it would be nice if you could see/mod what the traits actually do.

Automatically has Cold, Iron Will, andFearless traits. Has zero sex skills.
 
Intimidating: Man, to think that yourGoons are scared of women. Goons fight less effectively against her. Keepspeople in line, and inspires fear.
 
It was thinking that there needs to bea Royalty trait (it could increase gold gained or just be a fetish) An annoyingtrait might not be so bad either (it could lower the girls looks)
 
Kind Heart- will lower chance ofgetting your other girls sick by 10%, taking a higher rate of 20% her self.

Rival gangs can hire these units to torment you. They won'tstick around unless you keep them payed.

List has been edited for copies and to get alphabetized.

Most of these seem to be related to specific "adventurer" type jobs; I suspect they're carryovers from necno's original dungeon crawler idea.  Those should probably be scrapped.  Otherwise, I love most of the ideas here...   

elsewhere, both in the forums and in the todo list, necno mentioned that he's planning (at the very least) a weight system.  Is this still happening?  Are you going to extend it further, as you said you might?


There's also a whole blurb on how necno planned to implement the new building code...  I wonder how much of this he followed in the end. 

[necno]

"Add ability for girls to attach to gangs (loyalty will be an important issue)"
Does in fact mean to put them within the gangs. 
Yes weight is still being worked on, its not a difficult thing to balance but i'm still trying to see if it actually adds anything to the game other than needless fluff or complication.
And yes the building update is the main focus of the next update so it will be included. I will also be implementing all the awesome fixes the other coders have done on the program and from 1.30 forwards we will be working with the same code.
The next version is still perhaps a week away and will include all the "IN PROGRESS" section except for talking to customers in the dungeon since its kind of a low priority, depending how this next week goes I may be able to release on Friday.

[letmein]

I know this sounds a little contrary to my normal opinions, but sometimes it's better to have a little fluff - so long as it doesn't actively distract from the greater game.  For instance, think of something like the Civ series, or Age of Empires.  Both of them included hefty sections with historical references and general information, none of which was really important to anything.  Even so, the games were made better by these "fluff" additions, even if they didn't influence gameplay at all.  Having a slightly more detailed body system would, in my opinion, serve much the same purpose here. If you want to ignore it, fine, but for those people who want to know that girl X weighs 115 pounds, is 5'4", and a C cup is all the more engaged.

[Rose]

I'm not especially for or against tracking weight, but if you do, girls should gravitate towards the skinny side during normal circumstances for one simple reason: They're working full-time as prostitutes, which means that their entire day consists of physical exercise.

[Mehzerz]

I'm not particularly for or against the weight addition either. I don't see it altering gameplay too much other than making you be more choosy with your presents.
As well as making customers like them less if they get TOO overweight. While a small group may be more interested in them. I guess? I dunno, doesn't matter too much to me.

[goofydude]

I can't find this "IN PROGRESS" post or anything like (on forum or in game files).

Someone halp me so I can become excited and impatient towards the next release!

[letmein]

It's a text file within the game download, called "Todo.txt".

[goofydude]

Well, I feel better, while I did check my game directories for a text file that would tell me something about the future, I now know that there isn't one for me.

[DocClox]

Odd. Did you check that after you updated to 1.29?

[goofydude]

Well apparently, I never upgraded to 1.29 even though I thought I did.  I got the 1.23 or 1.26 full download (whichever it is) thinking it was a full 1.29 download (reeding r hard), and then updated the 1.29 megafix and 1.29.2 patches without 1.29 (still worked with some interesting side effects). Now that I have properly downloaded the 1.23-1.29 patch I do have the todo file.

As I said in the other thread when i discovered this,  Doh, I'm a dolt.

[letmein]

Makes sense.  I'm not sure what all gets changed in the updates, but the 1.29.X fixes included the entire .exe file - which, I suspect, was the main thing to change from 1.26.  I'm not exactly sure how all the other things mesh together with that.

[Midnight_Amratha]

Yes weight is still being worked on, its not a difficult thing to balance but i'm still trying to see if it actually adds anything to the game other than needless fluff or complication.

*images of turtle like gang members moving around in the catacombs carrying ridiculous amounts of loot/gear* or just the generic roleplay character who always seems to carry a tent, a donkey and a weeks supply of trailrations around along with the odds and ends that makes his day. Yes i think weight will play a minor role but a limit may not be a bad thing to what your leader/girls/gangmembers can carry.
 
possibly let the strength/stam stat combined determine what you can haul around (how much and for how long)

[letmein]

He was talking about girls' actual weight, not carry weight.

[Midnight_Amratha]

my bad. comes from being a rp-buff i guess

[zodiac44]

I had a thought related to items and rebalancing the autopricing function.  Some of us make ridiculously expensive items with relatively minor effects just to make cash have a purpose in the late game, so perhaps the autopricing system should take into account the preset price, and price the item at the higher of the two costs (in other words, if the creator priced the item higher than the autopricing function does, use the creator's price).
