Demo Delay
Added 2021-02-20 05:49:16 +0000 UTCGiven that I was up until 6am last night (this morning?) freaking out over getting a new apartment, I'm sleep-deprived enough that my editing is doing more harm than good to the game right now. I'm officially delaying the demo update until tomorrow (or Sunday at the latest, but only if I'm involved in a shark attack or something).
I feel awful for missing my deadline (my boss, who also happens to be me, is a workaholic with high expectations). As apology for the delay, I'm attaching files of the code for two of the branches in Chapter 7. I know not everyone is familiar with code diving via Dashingdon, which tends to mangle the code anyway, so I thought you guys might enjoy this as a sort of "behind the scenes" glimpse!
The first file is what happens if you choose to walk with Rosy from the office to the other office (the second office is actually pretty cool, but I'll let that be a surprise for in-game). You can peek at the document to see how Rosy's affection stats change based on Button's answers. What gives the most points may surprise you!
The second file is one of the variation (there's like 9, depending on your relationship with Nick and who you're romancing) of when you walk alone. Although I'm still tweaking all the flavor text, this scene is a decent example of how dialogue changes based on your personality stats and relationship scores.
Apologies again for not updating on time! I'm going to take a Tylenol PM, go to sleep early, and attack the code with a fresh brain tomorrow.
(I know I'm tired, because I just laughed for two minutes straight over the mental image of me physically bludgeoning my laptop with a "fresh brain")

2021-02-20 06:53:28 +0000 UTCThanks for sharing these files! I've steadily working on my own IF, and it's kind of cool to see some behind-the-scenes from the IFs that I like now that I understand the coding. Get some rest! Thank you for all that you do!

2021-02-20 06:34:45 +0000 UTCI'm just gonna echo everyone else, please take care of yourself first! Deadlines are all well and good but pulling all nighters to meet them is not something you should feel obligated to do! We all understand and are happy to wait.
