I've sadly not been feeling much better, but progress must be made. Today I've been building up more word-tables, this time for nouns, to be used by the Director. 'Prick' and 'Dong' I think vary as to what kind of penis they can apply, for instance. The only trouble is pluralisation; for now all follow the same system: if the keyword is plural, the returned word will be. So 'BreastsNoun' will return 'boobs' or 'tits', but it won't return something like 'rack'. This is so prose written around those tags is easier to fit. Nouns are all done for now.
My next task is fleshing out the resolver - this is the 'bridge' script that Goldie has been working on since she got home, and that I'm going to start pouring more and more keywords into. This is what the Director will use to link keywords like 'TesticlesCount' and 'BreastsSize' to existing game data, and turn it into nice prose for the player. I already have lots of keywords and documentation written up to work from, so it should hopefully just be boring data-entry legwork in plugging them all in.
Also, the image above is a screenshot of the commits since August, most recent at the top (commits are basically saved additions or changes to the code of the game). Some are small and some are large, but I thought you guys might appreciate seeing something more evident that we are indeed still working on it.
Until next time!
