Inheritance Progress Report

Been a busy day today.  More productive in some ways than I had planned, less in others.  

Lets start with the sex content for Eve:  I'm sure all of you have explored the interactive sex content for Anna.  This week, due to popular demand, I've started working on the same thing for eve today.  I took the code from Anna's content and started adapting it for Eve.  I got about half of the code adapted for Eve, and about a third of her content written for the initial bit of content.  I'm aiming to add the same options as we have with Anna along with a similar amount of content.  With as much as I got done today, I should have little trouble finishing up this function tomorrow.

Now, my intent was to finish up all of the Eve sex content today, but as I mentioned above, only about a third of it got written today.  Yes, I failed to meet my self imposed goal for today's work.  However the reason for this is the code, and that's not even a bad thing.  See, what I ended up doing is reworking the code a little bit with future content in mind, by taking a little bit longer to get this set up, I can at the same time set up a framework for future content that should save me a lot of time in the future.  In the long run this should save a lot of time that I'll be able to put toward writing more content instead of wrangling code.

One of the people who helps me out from time to time (Rfpnj, the person who is making The Therapist.  He built the billiards code for his own game that's been adapted for use in Inheritance.) they took a look at the billiards code since we've been getting reports of some players having the table run on them every game.  They made some adjustments to the code that should hopefully put the issue to rest.

The artist I had been talking with about doing the comic strip for Futa Apocalypse pulled out.  Was really sad to see that happen.  She sited a couple of personal issues that had come up and I plan to bring it up again in a couple of weeks in the hopes she will change her mind.  Got to admit, was kind of a downer.  That said, I'm thinking about putting out feelers and seeing if I can find someone else who might be interested in doing a comic.  I'll keep you all posted in case something changes.

Received the next set of sketches today from the artist doing several of the rooms for the mansion and the blueprints.  Got to say that they are coming along very nicely.  This artist really knocks it out of the park every time I ask them to do something, and it's looking like this will be no exception.  Very excited at the prospect of getting to add some more backgrounds into the game!

The artist I've been waiting for art from since April, I actually heard from them today.  They sent me one image (One of three variants of an image I asked for.) and the sketch for the other I had commissioned.  I'll be really happy if they actually finish up the art.  The other day when I confronted them about the long wait, they mentioned they'll have final versions of everything to me by the 20th and said they'd give a refund if they didn't hit that deadline.  So one way or another the wait should be over by then.  Their art is really fantastic, . . . the wait, . . . not so much.

From this point on for the week, here's what I have planned:

Tomorrow:  Finish up the bare bones Eve interactive sex (About as much content as Anna has for that.)

Wed: Do some rework of Anna's sex content and finalize the ground work I was talking about above to make adding that content to future characters easier.  Time permitting work on town a bit.

Thur: Do some writing for existing functions in the game.  I'm leaning toward writing some content for the billiards game, but it could be almost anything depending on my mood at the time.

Friday:  Family day, so most of my day will be spent taking my wife out to lunch while the kids are out of the house, then spending the afternoon playing Zombies!!! with my kids (Just picked the game up a few days ago, my kids love it and they can JUST read the cards well enough to actually play it right.  I guess the real question is, Am I an awesome dad for letting my kids play the game?  A good parent for having six year olds capable of reading and understanding rules indented for +12.  Or a bad parent for letting my six year olds play a violent board game about killing zombies?  I'm going to give myself the benefit of the doubt and say it's probably a bit from all three columns.).  Release new Wanton Cove build.

Saturday: No idea.  Bug reports if needed, whatever I feel like otherwise.

The whole week, I'm likely to add one or two new locations to the town each day.  I figure there's no urgency to it since I have no major plans to add much content to the town for a while yet, so if I only fill one or two streets per build, everything should be in place long before we start adding a lot of content to it.

Wife doesn't work this weekend, so at least one day I'll make a work day.  Not really sure if I'll get away with both or not.  Time will tell.

And there you guys have it!  Have yourselves a wonderful evening, and I'll be back with more news when I have more news to report!
