Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and it's effectively canceled this year due to the pandemic. Instead of moping about it, perhaps I'll come up with a spooky and sexy event for AW. If you have any ideas, or feel like writing something yourself, you're more than welcome to send it our way!
We've done a good amount of discussion among ourselves in the development team, and have decided to implement a difficulty system. While we like the "normal" difficulty level in the game as it is, we also acknowledge that it can be too much work for people mostly interested in the story and adult content. I like the slightly strategic element myself, but it can also make it more 'work' to explore different characters, jobs, and other content on subsequent playthroughs.
So rather than adjust a single difficulty one way or another that will always disappoint some people, it makes more sense to just add different difficulty levels. Thankfully, I built methods for tweaking the balance of the game into most of the major systems. This means it's fairly straight-forward to add different difficulty levels.
The new Medium difficulty will be essentially the same as the normal game as it has been, while hard will take the place of "organ donor mode". Easy will be what it says on the tin with lower difficulty across the board, though there will still be challenges and the possibility of getting your character into trouble. Fap difficulty is the easiest, removing any real challenge from the game beyond needing to earn money if you want to buy things for your character.
For now, Fap difficulty will be limited to the [backer] ($5) build of the game and above because of it's nature as a sort of sandbox mode. In the future we'll probably have it be unlocked once you've completed the game on a higher difficulty (in the [public] and [patron] builds).
That's it for now... I'm in need of some sleep!
