oh right today is an update post day
This week's work has been a little scattered; let's see...
- Finished writing and coding up most of the flame demon cock cage stuff
- Wrote most of the snake-body sex scene branches for the minotaur encounter
- Fixed up some of the weird blocking and dialog in the son of Hamar-Tabal event and incidentally added a few paragraphs to the fisting scene; also added support for one of the you-bottom branches so it's a lot more accessible (now it works for humanoids and nagas in addition to animals and centaurs)
- Started working on a sobek sheut event expansion, which will add some more monstrous variant types, expand the talk options, add proper cloaca support to the sex scene, and maybe expand the sex scene a little
A reasonable chunk of the work so far has just been updating the old encounter code when I go back to these old events, which... kinda sucks, but it's gotta happen sometime so I guess it's happening now.
By next week I'm aiming to have the rest of the snake-body scenes done and the one other flame demon sex scene written, and to be making headway into the sobek sheut expansion. Maybe touching more on those minor machine shop expansions I mentioned before, just like... seeing different events each time you drop in; that kind of thing. So I guess we'll see how that's gone in a week.
Oh yeah and... I'm always trying to think of variations, large or small, to add to the existing encounters, so they seem less samey; so do any of you have thoughts about tweaks or expansions to make for specific monsters?
Okay, so, the only thing I kind of really really want that I'm afraid you might never put in, or at least not for a long time, unless I ask for it is for the gargoyle, flame demon, and any other entity who will talk about the other entities you've encountered, to have entries for the newly added monsters. Like the hellhound knights, the minotaur miners, and the acid slimes.
more talk options is definitely on the todo list! though since the plan is for the minotaur miners and the acid slimes to be in a different 'area' of the map, they might not end up having 'about' options with the encounters in the floodplains. (the minotaurs and slimes should be getting some talk options about _each other_ though, for sure.)
and it's not precisely what you're asking for, but part of this update will be adding the sobek sheuts to the list of monsters that can talk about other monsters. as well as talk about some other stuff. i'm kinda slowwwwly easing into having actual dialog and dialog trees in the game; it's not really my forte.
