Fixed the bug where being a whore doesn’t work for old souls. Other than that, been writing some random stuff today. I am not sure if having a day to work on random stuff is good or not. It is good creatively to constantly be doing different things, but I also feel like a lot of this stuff isn’t ever going to get released so isn’t super productive either. Though many goods ideas come from it, so maybe it is kind of productive just not in a direct way.
So finished the update for Old Soul. It is a bit ugly but I added a way to have a save and load on all the pages of the game. I will work on it later but for now having a save option, even if it is just one slot currently, should be an improvement over not being able to save at all.
There is also a bit more content before and after the city. Though I didn’t get as a big of an update I was hoping. Now that I am more familiar with it again after the long break though, I plan on having a much bigger update next time, which should be in May at some point.
So working on Old Soul and now I got a bit more before and after the city, which makes the trip a bit more interesting for the first trip away from the family. I am still trying to think if I should put the save feature in and where I should put it. Maybe before leaving to the city and one a bit earlier in the game some place, since they have to be at specific points.
Next week, I will be back on Magic Girl contest again, then Kawaii.
So I finished my goal and added two new encounters. One of them is a bit short, since it is going to have a part before the city, then a part where you meet the same person after the city and get a special event if you did something specific in the city. I probably just wont count that one, and add another encounter later tonight as well. So will have two good sized ones then a small one that will expand if you meet the requirements after the city.
So I found code for twine 2 that lets you save the game, since the default format doesn’t let you save games. However it doesn’t have a save and load function on every page, but rather just where ever you put it. So it doesn’t seem as useful. Though I guess it is better than nothing, since you can still save at important places. Maybe I will try that and see how it goes.
So I was thinking for Old Souls I would add some stuff prior to getting to the city, and some stuff on the way back to the city. That way the trip to the city feels a bit longer and more impactful as you travel across the country side. Also I was wondering if I should switch formats in twine, so there is a save option and also the code would use the code I am more used too. Though that would also mean I would need to change the code currently in the game. That might be kind of a pain though. I will look into that. I think it is possible to add a save option in other formats too but it is kind of a bad as well.
Tuesday: Get refamiliar with the game and consider code options and make the changes if needed. Also check to see if I have the other saved files with stuff I wrote before.
Wednesday: Add two new interesting encounters on the path to the city.
Thrusday: Add two new interesting encounters on the path returning from the city.
Friday: Test and make sure everything is working and do spellcheck and what not. And release the update.
So today is the day off from working on projects and it is Easter, so just spending the time with family and stuff. I hope everyone else is having a good holiday as well.
So today I have just been messing around with some random ideas. For some reason, I was thinking about doing something with a naga transformation. Maybe I should focus more on those other games I was working on, but I know I am bad at coming up with random ideas and getting distracted, that is why I have the day off to explore those things though!
On a side note, looking at all the spam posts I get all the time I can’t help but wonder if there is actually writers who are hired full time to just write fake spam posts. Seems like there is an art to it, making really vague posts that could apply to any website and also trying to flatter the person so you can convince them you are not a scumbag scam artist.
A typical spam post is something like, “Wow amazing post, I never considered that before. You really made me think.” But it is like a comment on a post from two months ago talking about bimbos or something. Yeah, you just randomly found that specific post insightful? The biggest mistakes they often make is calling something an article(what articles am I posting?).
I am actually kind of impressed that they can say the same vague, commentary bs a thousand different ways(maybe it is actually just a computer program doing it?). In a capitalistic way, it is kind of impressive the lengths they will go to try to get just a little extra traffic to their website or whatever. Though ultimately I have to wonder what these people are doing with their lives, that they chose to make a living by spamming thousands, perhaps millions of people online just in hopes that some of the spam will sneak past the filters so maybe a tiny fraction of the people who see the fake post will go to the website that is hidden in their user name. The success rates have to be absolutely horrendous and this wouldn’t even be possible with automated posting bots.
Okay, I have uploaded the update for Kawaii with all the hot springs stuff! I actually added a second sex scene too, though it is a fairly short one and involves the girl you met at the concert(if you met her). If there are any bugs I will work on them right away this weekend, but I don’t think there should be any. The game is getting a bit more difficult to test out as it is getting pretty long to go through the entire game just to check a new passage(which might have several paths).
Next week is Old Soul, which I was just looking out and seems may have some issues too. It seems my most up to date version is the one I uploaded to my site, though I had thought I worked on it since then. Well I will have to check to make sure it has everything, and if there was any newer files for it. What I remember working on though was like a side plot, so if I lost it I guess it isn’t the end of the world, though kind of sucks.
So I noticed a few days ago that the April Fools game that I made awhile back(like 7 years ago!) wasn’t on the tfgamesite anymore for some reason. It is still on this website so if you are here you may have seen it. I reuploaded the game over there though, for people who might not have seen it. I was actually thinking of making a sequel for it but I forgot about it, and wanted to do it in April. Anyway nothing new on that front, just reuploaded there. Hopefully I am not creating too much work for myself, since I had been getting people messaging me about the special ending all the time, up until like two years ago where it started to fall off a lot.
