Nocturnal Illusions

Development report #2

Added 2024-04-07 17:01:44 +0000 UTC

Keep in mind that the images are still WIP and everything is far from finished.

Do you remember Teresa, your single engineer from the first version?

Now you will be able to see how the energy is actually extracted. There are several machines that produce estimulum for your engineers that in turn they produce and infuse the crystals you extracted with energy:

In gif, small animation:

I'm thinking on adding some extra advance researches to unlock even more upgrades for your power extraction:

I'm thinking that with a certain research, you will have a sex scene and make the engineers pregnant. With that advanced research you will be able to extract even more energy. Altough I'm planning that this pregnancy will be permanent and they will not be like the breeders in that sense.

Also the new engineer Alyssa:

I liked her design so much that I'm still considering if she wouldn't be better suited to be a breeder.

For now I'll keep her as an engineer.

I've also been working on a lot of QoL changes.

Rooms are now properly labeled for easier naviagtion:

Also when you return from a room, you are taken back to this base map instead of the sleeping quarters.

I've fixed the issues also of not being able to save anywhere and the hide textbox key is working now.

Currently working on the miner unit, then the samurai unit is next. Miner and marines will be unlocked from the start as the base game is now. The other units you will need to research them on the research labs. I will need to work on some enemy units too. I don't want them all to be the same wave of the same type of xenos.

Still a lot of work to be done but I'm still keen on releasing the new version here on Patreon before this month ends. I ask all of you to report all the bugs that you guys find on the next version. I'm hoping the next one will be a let loss buggy and more smooth than the previous one.

I'll keep making more small posts during the week with progress on the next rooms.

I plan to make something similar to this on the research lab and terraforming.
