word count / matches

• 2019-04-01: 185139 words / 553 matches
• 2019-05-01: 201734 words / 522 matches

so that's ~16,000 words written and 34 net matches removed this month

officially over the 200,000 word mark! that being said there's like a few thousand 'words' of code and like 15k words that are in the not-developed-but-still-there 'latter half' of the game, so there's not quite 200k of playable content yet. getting there, though.

not really as impressive a count of matches removed this month, because increasingly they're clustered in entire sex scenes or in a few big code sections that have like twenty each. i got a bunch of the missing brulvundojn scenes written but uhhh there are still a few more left, including some of the easiest-to-get ones.

also i guess this is kind of a silly question to ask, but should i release a public demo version? previously i hadn't really wanted to give another public release since the game was continually full of missing scenes, but after the past few months that's a lot less true, so maybe it is actually in shape to release an actual demo. i mean i know the answer from most everybody will be "yes", but like, the game is still not structured in such a way to avoid needing to replay the entire thing just to get to one new sex scene, since the still-unfinished content isn't actually in any kind of order.

changelog for april:

• fixed some bad state where you could get the gheist squad arriving on the same visit that the human squad arrives
• fixed being able to drag the tanker out of the dune with brulvuldojn without first having to go back to town for the chain
• fixed the hauling scene always running the gheist version of the arrival-in-town scene even when you triggered it with brulvundojn
• added more guidance in terms of what to do at certain steps of the scavenge/chain/hauling setup (if you revisit the scavenge site it tells you your options, or when you leave the village with the chain in the brulvundojn variant it explicitly says to go to the scavenge site instead of brulvundojn's den)
• fixed a scripting error in 'ophion inject ass'
• fixed displaying the expanded ophion lightrot use options menu
• fixed duplicate -> (plus double-count) in 'ophion fuck'
• whoops fixed the siege being totally unplayable due to the interact options never showing up (the 'rollcall' code was running in the wrong place)
• fixed '2ic why are you in town' (had no exit link; softlock)
• fixed 'ophion wake' (<<else if>> instead of <<if>> leading to incorrect prose)
• fixed 'www fuck' (misplaced > in macro leading to bad ifcheck)
• fixed 'astau talk' and 'astau talk opts' (and all talk options) (repeatedly)
