sorry, I meant it a little differently. It can be in general terms (forget vocaloids). For example, earlier you talked about that we could place some NPC that would request items. So what I'm wondering about is, what would be a good task (=challenge) for player to get this items.
Only asking if, by chance, you or someone have something in mind already (collecting ideas).
Before slavetraining or exploration, our options are somewhat limited:
Examples of quests you could make using events system/renpy script, some might require more "intimate" knowledge of game mechanics:
1) Some NPC tells you he/she lost something at the beach.
2) We have 4 beach locations, your randomly pick one and start a quest with purpose of finding it at dice(20), so 5x per location with 4 locations, player would have to look 20 times and possibly more.
3) Bring the item back and get a girl or a decent item.
----------------------------
1) NPC requests a girl with specific traits/stats/occupation.
2) You find/train/bring
3) You get a reward
----------------------------
1) After getting disposition high enough, girl comes to you and tells you that she has a unique ability but it needs to be unlocked, but you'd have to fuck her twice during a fool moon on the beach, near the mountain (reminds me, I need to revive moon calendar), it's counting but we don't display it anywhere...
2) You do the deeds, she gets a spell or a some unique trait you can make just for her.
----------------------------
1) Some NPC got beaten up by some dude/gall in the arena, she/he asks you to beat the crap out of him/her in-front of the whole city (arena match).
2) Get some cash as an extra reward.
---------------------------
1) Find a specific combination of items and deliver.
2) Reward = girl or more cash than the items are worth, or something unique/rare.
---------------------------
I can go on for a very long while like this, quests where you just relay messages or sh!t between places and people or find specific girls or go somewhere on a specific day are limitless with renpy and very simple to code in (as yo would write them basically in plain text (renpy script))... It's all about getting in sync with the game. I would like to add a Quest manager as well at some point...
Also "deep" NPCs, the one who may have effect on world or mechanics and offer a good amount of conversations are also interesting.
----------------------------
I looked for some location bgs, there are some nice ones I think, but it's hard to decide about the style when we have not yet decided about the main city map pic. And sadly, I don't have anything good for that...
Yeap, our city is far from perfect
---------------------------
Some girl have really nice collection of expressions - http://img24.eu/images/14jlx9b7.jpg
If there was a need for tutorial girl, she would be my candidate
Yeap again, I used to have a lot of expressions from visual novels but lost them with one of my drives and sill haven't downloaded them again.
This one is pretty decent if it can be cleaned up properly, but somehow I imagined Disgaea girls to do the intro. We'll live and see.
---------------------------
Maybe we could use some achievents in future. Like "earn a milion","collect ten lolis","rot in a prison","catch all social diseases at once" etc...
Yeah, get #1 spot in the arena in 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 all three of them, beat dogfights 100 times, unlock all mobs, get 50 unique girls, get 100, get 10, 30, 50 whores of rank 5,6,7 and so on. Most of it is really easy to code but I would like some decent icons for the achievement (maybe not per achievement, but like medals on the complexity scale) and prolly for beta.
Hey guys, I apologize for the absence all day but I had a gig so been gone most of the day.
Now i'm back i can get back to work hurray
WB!
===================
Otherwise, I couldn't sleep so I cooked us up a decent slave market (old one was dreadful), removed useless central plaza and placed slavemarket on the map (events enabled but without girlsmeets) on it's place. Arena now has it's own icon
Push:
- Added SM to the map
- Fixed broken image cache in girls class
- Removed image cache from SM (Might not have been wise, but I have a brillant idea on how to improve cache in the girls class)
- Auto-loading of backfrounds as png files is in.
- Comletely remodelled slave market
- Added slave club location, only covered with event manager so far...
