Sarah's Workshop

Added 2023-07-13 19:33:45 +0000 UTC

Hello! So this will be the first of many ‘blogs’ about systems or technical aspects of the game. Today's topic will be on Sarah’s workshop!

So, I was thinking what I would do is after you hire Sarah a timer would start, this timer would be randomly set between 7 days to 14 days. Once the timer reaches 0 a new court event will become available where Sarah asks you to build her a Workshop inside of the castle. The player will have two options, one is to tell her yes or to tell her no.

If the player says no to Sarah she might lose some respect towards you, the loss will be based on the player's intelligence, weight and gluttony. After you say no another timer will start, it will be set to between 2 days and 7 days, once the timer reaches 0 the court event will again occur.

If the player says yes to Sarah’s workshop (and they have enough gold) a timer will once again start, this time for the construction of the workshop, it will take a week. Once the timer reaches 0 you will get another court event where Sarah thanks you and lets you know her Workshop is now open. This event will then unlock her workshop as an area that can be walked (waddled) to.

At Sarah’s workshop you can talk to her, choose upgrades for her to research and then buy, along with some random events that may happen based upon Sarah's weight and if you have your aide assigned to her.

When talking to Sarah you can have a meal with her, this will stall her progress on any upgrade you told her to research. You can also just chat with her, or help her research. The increase to the research will be dependent on your intelligence. Finally you can assign your aide to help her.

If you assign May to her (assuming she is not immobile by this point in your play though), May will give a slight research boost and depending on May gluttony will increase Sarah’s weight, along with May’s weight.

If you assign Charles to her, he will give her a huge research boost and will give a huge increase to Sarah's passive weight gain, along with this Charles and Sarah may develop a relationship between the two of them, depending on how long you assign him to her.

And that just about does it for the workshop as of now, that is what I plan on having in the workshop and hopefully I can get this added, and then some, before Monday. If you have any ideas for this area please let me know.
