Core Mechanics Update 07/07/2019
- Completed general store, I’m putting all items in there for now, food, tools and pills
- Completed tools mechanic, allowing players to buy and use tools.
- Created pump tool, you can use it to pump air into any cavity by simply dragging and dropping like a normal item
- Completed ability screen, players need to unlock viewing and interacting ability before using or seeing some interactive stats and features
- Completed stats (performance) screen for showing the player’s stats for skills and attributes. these stats allow the player to respond differently in some situations, or receive different events. For example, high physique skill will increase affection with NPCs who likes strong partners, or allow the option to hit back bullies in bully event.
Next Steps before prototype release
- Character graphics creation:
- Posing, creating different expressions, make different fat levels (This will take the most time
) - Process the poses, expressions, and fat levels into game readable format
- Posing, creating different expressions, make different fat levels (This will take the most time
- Working on more tools
- Balloon: will take up space inside their stomach for a long time so that they can’t eat. (Maybe this’ll force them to slim down?)
- pressure tool: cheap and allow the player to check the cavity (stomach/bowels) current volume, without having the “check content” ability (abilities cost a lot of Fat essences). But not the maximum capacity, so the player still have to guess and make a decision whether they should continue to be stuffed. Remember, over stuffing will force them into the bathroom to expel everything.
- Working on special effect items that may work together:
- Coke mentos
- chilis (make them feel hot and cramps)
- laxatives
- …
Unlocking abilities, buy and use the pump tool
New Journal screen with added stats and ability options
I almost lost all my progress because my online sync somehow went wrong and reverted the project to a very very early version. Luckily I had a back up, but still I lost hours of progress. Back up your work guys!
