Heya everyone,
I finally finished programming and designing the whole level sequence ! It's now fully playable from start to finish, including all the possible branching. It was a pretty intense task as this is a somewhat narration-heavy level.
My work isn't finished yet, as I still have a tons of debugging to do and details to add. However, now that this is done, I'm feeling way closer to the update completion. A release should probably be expected before the end of the month, maybe in a week if I don't dig a ton of bugs.
Theses last days, I mainly worked on the "escape from brainwashing" sequence. I already talked about the first rooms, and the next ones are on the same principle: regaining your "adult" skills.
- A puzzle room where you have to complete a picture
- A pinata room where you have to hit all of the target with a big hammer
- A dummy target room where you have to throw a ball at some moving targets
At the end of the sequence, you can find poor Jason still tied to his chair...and of course you can choose to help him or let him be.
I also found it very fun to include some hidden counter during the whole sequence, especially an accident counter. The caregiver robot that follow you may or may not revoke your panties privilege depending of that counter !
All in all, I had a lot of fun designing the whole sequence, and I hope you'll have a lot of fun playing it. It's probably one of the most scripted and complex in the game, so obviously I'm doing heavy debugging right now.
So, now I'll focus on the two last things to do :
- Write all the finals dialogs, since most of it is placeholder for now
- Add a tons of details and props to the level, because for now I focused on only what was essential to make it work.
That's it for now, see you next time !
