V0.38.0 Changelog (+V.033 to V0.37!)


Lots to go over, but a general overview of development might be in order.

Massive reworking of sections of the game are starting, going back to the very first semester. Much of this is driven by me finally biting the bullet and learning RPGmaker MV's plugin system properly.

I started this project with a depth of coding knowledge (As I have a degree in software engineering) but little knowledge in art (having taken and failed a few drawing classes on the side.) As such, the goal of this project was primarily to make a game that forced me to learn art!

While this is still in progress, I couldn't help but tinker with things, with the result being me deciding that it was perfectly ok to store 2d arrays of class descriptions into rpgmaker's variables. It should be fine, I reasoned, this isn't going to be a code-heavy project anyway!

This, as I could have expected, eventually started leading to problems with save-file bloat, glitches (easiest to see in class selection at the moment, but everywhere) and other bugs that piled up.

So now I'm learning rpgmaker's systems properly. It's putting a strain on my ability to do artwork for the game at the moment,  as I have limited development time, but otherwise is progressing rather well. I decided to start with the stats screen, as that was in dire need of updating, and alligns with the first set of things I have begun learning (mostly RPGmaker's Scene and Window code, which I had tinkered with to limited success via an awful array of script calls stuffed into common events)

So, Starting from the furthest back....

Wow big update huh. Cool. I enjoy the game, for whatever reason I enjoy my weird porn games to have relatively complex systems. Or I enjoy my games with complex systems to have porn, whichever. You deliver.

And the art isn't bad, certainly it has improved noticeably, very impressive really.

Thanks! I've been working hard to improve my art skills (so much so my programming skills got a bit rusty in the meantime and it's taking me longer than it should to learn javascript properly!)

I too enjoy sexy content in more complex games. It's something that's somewhat hard to find, the closest I've gotten being heavily modding skyrim/oblivion to include fun content!
