The full change log pdf can be downloaded here and is included in the game download.
This has been an interesting month of development, with
plenty going on. This was also the month that Besty started working full-time
on the project. With our powers combined, we are Captain Planet!
we managed to get a lot done. In fact, I’ve been dreading writing this change
log, because there were so many things worked on this month.
This month we focused on bringing NPCs into the world, as
well as fixing up that world. So now you’ll see NPCs roaming everywhere around
town, though there isn’t much you can do with them directly yet. There’s also
an interaction window that I talked about in the blog, which opens a lot of
possibilities for us. Many areas such as jobs, achievements, and world
activities have been improved and expanded. There was also a lot of general and
specific bug fixing and improvements all over the place.
Speaking of bugs,
we found a bunch, several of which were quite old. It takes a good deal of time
to go through and methodically test everything, so if you encounter a bug, or
something that just doesn’t seem to work right, please report it!
New Content
Most of the new content in this release isn’t neatly
contained within a prologue, but rather is part of the world. The biggest chunk
by far is the skill schools. All the schools are open, with a good deal of text
describing the school and instructor, as well as content and images for
specific classes when you take them. There’s a lot to see, such as learning all
about the sport of Cockmongering in the Deep Drilling school. Jobs have also been
expanded, with 2 additional ranks each, more daily occurrences, and even a
special event in the Janitor/Services branch. We didn’t get the Maid Pouffiasse
house cleaning job quite done enough to show off this time, unfortunately
(v17!). There’s also a neat little arcade game you can play if you visit the
Pleasure Buzzer Arcade in the Applewood Mall. There’s also more entries in the
game encyclopedia!
Known Issues
·
Character templates do not work properly. They
work well enough that you can continue to play, but you’ll experience errors.
(Only from v15, templates from previous versions will not work.)
·
Sex scenes are still slow, though I have a
better idea of what’s going on, as well as some ideas to improve things. A new
loading div does help deal with this in the interim, though.
·
Some old placeholder actions remain in the home
and residential areas, though they should be obvious for the most part. The
only concern here is confusing the new performable actions with some old
placeholders.
·
You may experience an error with your game stats
(unlocks, achievements) when loading the game. If it occurs, just open the
achievements page, and reset your game stats.
