still working on the next update -- which, for those of you not following the patreon, was a tie between "work on rpg elements: stats and skills and combat" and "improve the pc description generator". it's mostly done -- challenge events work, and i've done all the description tweaking i think i'll do. mostly what's left is a bunch of smaller details -- writing up big lists of possible skills the PC can have and how to get them, updating some UI to show possible stat boosts in the body-building view, making skills actually do something when they level up, writing damage formula, that kind of thing. well, and also making any real events that use the challenge system.
so, first of all, here's the demo of the challenge system, which is basically a proof-of-concept. so that's gonna be basically how "combat" will work -- and also things like searching or hunting or debating, when they come up. (this was a patreon backer reward a month or two back, but i figure since it's gonna be in the game i a week or two i can share it with everybody now.)
secondly, here are some actual in-game descriptions i wanna show off, to give people an idea of what most descriptions going forward should look like. the thing with the description generator is... i could easily do nothing but work on it and continue to make it better and better, since i have some lofty goals for the kind of stuff i want it to generate, but there's always other stuff to work on, like "actual game content", so eventually i gotta just say "this is good enough for now" and stop. so anyway, here are some good enough descriptions:
You're a naga, with your snake half sprawling out for a ways behind you, curled into chunky curves. You've got ruddy red-brown skin. Your lower body is covered in patterned green and yellow scales.
Unlike a proper snake, you've got fat sheath hanging along your underbelly, bloated with twin cocks, and beneath that you have an asshole, as a dusky seam between your scales. Your dicks are bloody red and fattest in the middle; they narrow to a point, without any clear cockhead, and your flesh mottles and fades to a patchy pale color near the sharp tips. You got knots at the base of your dicks; when you get hard, they inflate to nearly fist-sized lumps.
You're a towering bestial minotaur, with thick bull legs. You've got ruddy red-brown skin. Your head and legs are covered in a stiff grey coat. You have thick tufts of hair along your shoulders and forearms.
Between your thighs, you got a sheathed dick and four fat low-hanging balls. Your cock is long and thin. Your sheath hangs down low from your body, swaying slowly from your movement. The tip of your dick is a gnarled lump of gristly flesh, extending out to a long narrow spike, dimly flexible.
You're two floating snake dicks flopping through the air, conjoined at the base. You've got patterned green and yellow scales.
You have twin dicks and four fat balls.
(this one could use a lot of work, but look i've already spent more time than was really necessary making the new "floating dick" bodytype work.)
anyway so that's about it! expect the update to drop... uh, fairly soon? a week so, i think.
