🛠️ Booty Hunter – Devlog #2 – Weekly Update (Job System & Auth Integration)

Welcome back, guys!
This week’s devlog brings some exciting updates to the job system and a fully working authentication system for Members rewards. Let’s dive into what’s new in the development of Booty Hunter version 0.10!

🔧 Crew Journal Rework (WIP)

This week, I started a full redesign of the Player Journal, focusing specifically on the Crew screen.
The original layout was way too limited and couldn’t support the new job system being implemented, so it’s being rebuilt from the ground up to allow more detailed information, visuals, and management features for your crew members.

The new interface will display job assignments, traits, stats, and other future elements more clearly.

🔐 Patreon Auth System – Fully Working!

I’ve officially completed the implementation of the new authentication and reward system using my own API.

Here’s how it works:

• Patreon supporters log into the Booty Hunter website.

• They generate a unique key linked to their email address.

• Inside the game, they input the same email + key to unlock exclusive rewards.

This system is already working flawlessly in-game — making it easier and safer for supporters to receive their benefits.

🛠️ Upcoming Focus – Crew Job System

Next week, my main goal is to finish the new Crew Job System.
There will be five initial jobs available:

• 🗡️ Hunting (replacing the old combat role)

• 🧭 Navigation

• 🍳 Cooking

• 🎣 Fishing

• 🛠️ Crafting

Each girl will have unique traits related to jobs, which provide advantages when assigned to certain tasks.
For example, Nami already has the Navigation trait but can eventually gain the Cooking trait too.

Traits can be unlocked or upgraded, giving players more flexibility and personality when building their crew.

I’m still exploring different ideas to expand this system even further. I’ll share more insights and updates in next week’s devlog!

📌 What’s Next?

• Finalize and test the Crew Job System

• Expand the Crew Journal UI to support new features

• Continue refining the balance between traits and jobs

• Possibly tease a new card for the Grand Line Waters banner 👀

Thanks again for following the development of Booty Hunter! Your support makes everything possible.
See you in the next devlog!
