Suite
Added 2021-08-28 18:10:20 +0000 UTCI'm really proud of how the new suite is turning out, so here's a screenshot. This is probably the look I'm going to go for in 0.1 (though I might end up adding ceilings). Most rooms have more wall-like walls, but I wanted this to pop like the office of an maniacal overlord should.
I also finished the bulk of the dialog engine port from Stationmaster 1. There are still some bugs to fix, but most of the old events run now (and events that had multiple characters now show all of them at once, which is nice). The first draft of the writing for the new harem system is also written. I still need to tag them with poses/expressions/camera angles, but I'm investigating an AI solution to automate that.
The big remaining tasks at this point are:
- The galaxy map
- Showing person models on the station (they're simulating in the background, but invisible right now)
- Updating the old furniture items to take advantage of the new size constraints (and redoing some of them so they look less crappy / stop tanking the framerate)
- The remaining UI panels (slave list and floor navigation/construction are done, but the rest of the buttons down there don't do anything yet).
- A ton of little bugfixes and tweaks
As always, thanks for everything, especially your patience while I tinker. This may seem like a lot of time on a solved problem, but spending time on foundational stuff here is going to save the game from being stuck with bad constraints later.
Comments
Certainly you are right, because it is really better to spend more time on this or that problem so that the content comes out successful.

2021-08-30 19:34:48 +0000 UTCI have to agree with previous comments, this is definitely one of the best adult games out there and will be worth the wait. Also, I really love the development ideas you've posted so far. May I suggest expanding upon the number of available room types. As the game progresses I tend to become a bit bored (though the more in-depth character interactions you mentioned will really help this). I think maybe adding in things like manufacturing (maybe from resources provided from conquered planets) and markets would open a lot of avenues. Just an idea. Either way, keep up the great work!
2021-08-30 03:14:32 +0000 UTCI'm trying to get 0.1 out in a stable but feature-incomplete state somewhat quickly (in a few months) so the community can tell me what's working and what isn't. I expect that 1.0 will be a much longer process though.

2021-08-29 06:01:13 +0000 UTCThe suite looks awesome! I like the walls, but I think you should work a little more on the walls and create them really the way that is more suitable for an maniacal overlord, as you want)))

2021-08-28 21:32:07 +0000 UTCI'm gonna try. Still not 100% sure how that's going to work.

2021-08-28 20:03:59 +0000 UTCWould the person models look better than the grey appreance in sm1?
