8/21/17 and Countdown 9
Added 2017-08-22 01:59:28 +0000 UTCHi again people, another countdown update.
Today I worked mostly on the systems that give the customization to scenes where the player is spanked and added more character content. I also essentially finished the main quest of the story, but still need to make sure everything works and close some loose ends.
When it comes to the customization of the scenes, I've made several common events (which are basically shortcuts to larger code) which set up all of the variables and switches for a certain type of scene for quick use. It's not a perfect solution, but it certainly cleans up things in an already cluttered and disorganized system. While there isn't a current need for it in the game, the time may come where I need to specify the actions that the player takes while giving a spanking.
I must confess, after working on this newer version of the game after all of this time, I kept feeling that the spanking system I spent so long developing felt empty and unimpressive. I went back to the old version out of curiosity, and played through Tungsten. And I may be going too far with this, but I couldn't see how anyone would have enjoyed the last version in comparison. My writing at that point felt so static and plain, and the events I had seemed so unimaginative. I really feel that when this next version is complete, it will be a huge improvement. I really hope I'm not overstating that.
Lastly, I'd like to thank 307703 for their generous pledge which brought me to my 300$ goal. Thanks again to everyone who helped me make this milestone. However, I'd like to ask for some patience when it comes to the rewards of the milestones, since I'm already pressed for time.
