another small set of bugfixes:
- fixed a problem w/ looking up yr cometype if you didn't have balls
- fixed a scene generation error in the sobek sheut scene if you were a floating head
- no more _underscores_ in the scenes to denote italics; now they all should be properly formatted.
barring surprise upset, it looks like the next development target is gonna be "fix up the sex scenes so they actually talk about your body in more detailed terms", so i've been doing some scaffolding for that. so, expect that over the next... few weeks? i don't actually have much of a sense of how long it will take yet. probably during/immediately after work on expanding the scenes, there will be some additional description updates that use that same scaffolding, as descriptions slowly start clawing out of the pit of mediocrity they're in.
actually, now would be a good time to outline the SCENE TIERS. this is how i've broken up the process of getting these events actually responding to pc bodies:
- stage 0: scenes not coded, or partially coded, or coded without full prose; there might be prose written to some degree but it's not something that's properly marked up at all yet
- stage 1: scenes coded and playable & parametric up to bodytype (e.g., bipedal, quadrupedal, centaur, snake, naga, wyvern) (this is the current stage of all the scenes ingame right now. except the sahagin.)
- stage 2: scenes parametric up to species, including limb counts. e.g.:
- differentiating between human, tiger-furry, and satyr in the 'bipedal' category;
- factoring in wings if you have wings and the wings are relevant;
- differentiating between centaur and bull-taur;
- disallowing bj scenes if you don't have a head;
- correctly referring to your number of dicks and balls, when relevant
- between being a four-legged wolf & a spider (& properly handling that yes a spider has more than four limbs despite being called 'quadrupedal' in the code :V)
- stage 2b: cocks part one. existing sex scenes parametric on cock features (knots, flares, barbs, etc) and ball features (come type: sap, ichor, lava, etc; come volume maybe). maybe some minor branching on cock/ball size, but not entire separate "huge dick" scenes, even if your cock is the size of yr entire body.
- stage 3: scenes parametric including all the various body attributes -- these are things like "on fire" or "stabbed through with swords" or "actually an ichorous ooze monster in the shape of a person"; a lot of the 'flavor' tfs are on this level
-
stage 3b: cocks part two. parametric scenes based on body & cock size, including some size difference stuff; sex scenes that feature cock-tongues or tail-cocks if you got em. this also covers other genitalia, but... but it's mostly cocks.
(this is the final level because it's an enormous amount of work and involves basically as much work as the rest of the levels put together, since it basically calls for several extra scenes per encounter & bodytype.)
so, the current push is to get scenes up to STAGE 2, after which point i'll probably take a bit of a break and also re-hold a patron vote.
