The Schedule Gets Weird Again

So I've been asked to work longer hours this week at my job, which is great, because, you know, money. But it sucks, because not as much free time, and when I get home, I'm too exhausted to do much of anything productive.

In addition, my wife has taken this week off from work. Since Thursday is my only real day off during the week, and she has Thursday off, we're going to do something together that day.

What this means is that my schedule for streaming is kind of borked this week. However, fear not. Because I have Tuesday and Wednesday off next week, which means that I'll have three days in which I won't have to do much of anything. Which is, you know, nice. And I'll be able to work on stuff, which is also, you know, nice.

tl;dr This week is a little weird and I may or may not be streaming, but I will be working pretty hard on stuff next week.

Streaming Done

Today, some bug fixes, then more transformation overhauls. I should be able to get the Cat overhaul complete today, which is a pretty big milestone for a few hours of work. Cat and Cow have two of the most annoying changes, which are speech effects (the cat says "nya" at the end of some sentences, and the cow says "mmmm" for certain words), so if I can get one of those done, I'll feel pretty good about progress for today.

Streaming done.

Not only did I get catgirl finished, as you can see from the progress report on the right, but I also got most of cowgirl done, and all of the planned stuff for robot done. But then I realized...robots need to be able to upgrade themselves, and I haven't added that particular bit yet. So I'm adding that to my list of things to get done in this update, which is why robot is so low right now.

Late Night Streaming

There were other things occupying my attention earlier tonight. I don't know how long this stream will last, but I did want to work on at least a couple of things. Besides, my sleep schedule is fucked up anyway.

I know there are a lot of bug in the 7/19a version, but I don't really want to do any bug fixes tonight. I want to actually add new stuff, so that's what I'm going to do. I'll work on bug fixes on Thursday.

Anyway, I thought you might be interested in some other stuff that has magically appeared in my notebook. Note that not all of these are guaranteed to make it into the game, but rather are the result of brainstorming additional content similar to the church nuns and the mermaid: side-quests that the player can engage in or ignore.

Webcam: Buy a webcam, start your own internet business. What are you selling? Why, yourself of course. Give the internet a striptease, or hire a "helper" and really give them a show. But remember that the internet is looking for something very specific: you'll need to make sure you look the part of the amateur porn star to get the best fees.

Balls: You've got your dick back, but what about your balls? Well, with the new drug that's sweeping the nation, you can increase the size of your balls, or, in your case, bring them back to life. But be careful: the bigger your balls, the less you'll be able to wear to hide them, and let's not forget what testicles are designed for: cum production.

Cum: Lots of stuff here. Cum addiction is a) kind of hard to get, and b) not really all that important. So, all male sex scenes will have a blowjob option. Cum addiction will carry negative penalties if you don't feed your need. If you have a cock and don't open the valves regularly, you'll find that the pressure release is opened when you're sleeping. Or not...it really depends on how good you are at controlling yourself.

Yoga Class: What? Boring. Who cares about yoga class? No one cares that it's a new exercise option at the gym that increases femininity (up to 50). It doesn't matter that it will reduce your hip and butt size. No one cares that going often enough will give you the Lithe trait, which makes you limber and flexible.

Auto-Fellatio: No one cares about the...wait, what? Oh, that's right. If you have the Lithe trait from yoga class, and a large enough cock, and you decide that you need to let off a little steam...well, maybe you can find out what it tastes like. Cum Addicts will especially enjoy this particular option.

Bikini Contest: Hey, what's that at the beach? Is it a bikini contest? Why, yes it is. Is it a contest that's only available in the late spring/early summer, has multiple rounds, and has big prizes and benefits if you can win...or at least "convince" the judges that you should win? Indeed you are correct sir!

Ballerina: Man, dancing is such a useless skill. It's not like your dance instructor is actually planning to put on a ballet and looking for competent dancers to help with that. Wait, she is. Huh. And you might get the lead role? Cool!

Musician: Buy a busker license, and then get a guitar (or just your singing pipes) and see if you can make some money as a street musician in your spare time. This could be your ticket to the world of a recording contract! You can imagine it now: you dress up and make yourself look like a typical singer in your genre, get a band and play some gigs after rehearsing enough. Maybe you'll become famous to go pro, and if that happens, will you leave your band behind and take the spotlight, or take them with you to fame and glory? And oh god, what about the groupies?!

Edit: I feel it's important to note that this stuff is planned, but it'll be a while before it ends up in the game. After the current update (Transformation Overhaul), the next update will be more story stuff (I want to finish Brittany's quest at the least, along with some other miscellaneous changes).

Mostly Fixed

EDIT: I forgot to properly code the event that adds the wolf claw necklace to the jewelry store. I have uploaded version 7/19a to fix that here. That's the only change, so if you're not interested in it, don't worry about it.

So let's figure out what's been fixed in this update, shall we?

1) Komodo cigarettes are now always smoke-able, as long as you're not currently smoking.
2) All clothes should now be affected by the Strip command, and all clothes can now be removed anywhere in the apartment.
3) Komodo cigarettes will now show how many you have left in the pack.
4) Going to sleep while smoking will stub out your cigarette. While this will still result in the normal health loss for smoking, it WILL NOT add to your dragon transformation, so finish the smoke first.
5) The final stage of the dragon transformation now properly updates your description.
6) Outfits gained by declining promotions at the strip club (waitress outfit, slutty schoolgirl outfit, cheerleader outfit) have had their logic completely changed, and should now work like normal clothes.
7) Genevieve should now either take your calls at any time, or at least give you a message that she's ignoring your calls.
8) Add Furry Fetish on the testing item works now.
9) Babies 2 and 3 can be interacted with. Also changed the logic on baby interactions. Feeding and changing diapers doesn't take time, but playing and snuggling both use half time updates. So playing and snuggling with all three babies will use up three time blocks. You're welcome.
10) Getting bedridden with triplets will now advance time properly to the end of the day.
11) Underwear can now be removed properly at home.
12) After giving birth to triplets, you'll be able to leave the bedroom and get dressed again.
13) At max arousal, you will no longer see the "make him wear a condom" message. You're too lust-addled to worry about it.
14) Switching to the Stripper job at a time when you would normally be assigned to the back room manager position will now work properly, and you won't get stuck at the club.
15) The werewolf transformation logic has been changed. You should now change every 28 days.
16) All maximum arousal scenes now properly reduce arousal.
17) Withdrawal from the aphrodisiac will now lower your maximum arousal AND your current arousal.
18) Checking the mail after getting a message from your mother will now give you the normal mail-check message.
19) It's no longer possible to get Nymphomaniac without Slut (not that that would be possible in normal gameplay anyway, but better safe than sorry).
20) If you have no unique Talk options with Genevieve (before she gives you her phone number), you can only raise her friendship value once per day.
21) Having sex with your succubus daughter will now reduce arousal properly.
22) The robot transformation will no longer progress if any other TF is active.
23) The "Strip Everything" command on the testing item has had it's logic changed to activate the Wear option on all purchased clothes, just in case.
24) Calling out sick from work now resets properly at the end of the day, so you can call out again the following day. Same with vacation.
25) Taking the promotion to the Private or Exotic Dancer will no longer give you a message about how your job performance is poor when you go home after accepting the promotion.
26) You'll no longer find the four initial outfits in your closet with the "Buy" option if you use the Strip Everything command on the testing item.
27) Some typo fixes, nothing important here.

Things I could not fix:
1) Clothes sometimes get stuck in the locker at the strip club - I tested with a bunch of different outfits and never saw this happen.
2) It's possible to get pregnant during lesbian sex. - The logic doesn't support it, and the couple of times I tested it (as futa and as normal) it did not occur.
3) The fertility treatment at the doctor's office can act as though you've received it recently when you haven't received it at all - The only way this could possibly happen is if you're pregnant, even if you don't know that you're pregnant.
4) It's possible to be unable to work as a Private Dancer, the Go to Work command does nothing - Nothing in the code supports this, and I don't know what could possibly cause it.
5) Clothes still get stuck in inventory when returning home from the beach - STILL cannot find out why this is happening, and I can't reproduce it.


Other things that happened:
1) I added the wolf claw necklace as an item. It has a 30% chance of showing up randomly in the mall when you go there. If you wear the necklace and go out or travel somewhere during the evening, night or late night, you will encounter the werewolf. If you get infected as a result, you'll lose the necklace forever (as it has served it's purpose). The necklace has literally no other purpose: it does not increase charisma or anything else. It is designed to make it possible to encounter the werewolves whenever you want until you get infected with lycanthropy.

You can find the updated version here.

Stream Over

Gotta get these bug fixed done this week, so might as well start now.

Here's the list of bugs that need fixing that have been reported (in no particular order):
1) It's possible to smoke the komodo cigarettes and not be able to smoke them again.
2) Some clothes can't be stripped off or removed. (Fixed the form-fitting clothes, couldn't find anything else that would be causing problems.)
3) Komodo cigarettes don't show how many are left in the pack.
4) Sleeping while smoking doesn't have the cigarette go out.
5) The final stage of the dragon transformation never actually finalizes (player examine doesn't update)
6) Wearing anything other than designated work clothes to the strip club gets them stuck in the locker. (Can't reproduce, can't find the logic that would cause this. Need more information.)
7) Outfits gained by declining promotions at the strip club get stuck in your inventory.
8) For some reason, after a certain point, Genevieve no longer accepts phone calls.
9) Add Furry Fetish on the testing item doesn't work (seriously, the testing item shouldn't be the major concern, ffs).
10) Can't interact with baby #2 or #3.
11) Getting bedridden with triplets doesn't let you go to sleep at the end of the day. 
12) Underwear doesn't get removed with the remove command at home.
13) After giving birth to triplets, if you were stuck in the bedroom, you're still stuck in the bedroom.
14) At max arousal, it's possible to get the "Make him wear a condom" message, even though you shouldn't.
15) It's possible to get stuck at the strip club while pregnant if you just signed up for the job.
16) The werewolf transformation doesn't happen during the full moon after the original transformation.
17) It's possible to get pregnant despite lesbian sex. (I'm almost convinced that there's another cause for this, as the game doesn't run the proper timer for pregnancy during any lesbian sex. Need more information.)
18) At least one max arousal scene doesn't actually reduce arousal.
19) It should not be possible for werewolves to start an inhuman TF.
20) Withdrawal from the aphrodisiac can leave arousal stuck at 70%.
21) Random events while travelling are much more likely (which is fine, but they shouldn't happen all the time). (I completely forgot that I changed the frequency of the random events.)
22) Checking the mail after the letter from the mother results in an error message.
23) It's somehow possible to get Nymphomaniac without Slut.
24) Once you've exhausted the actual discussion options with Genevieve at the mall, you can talk to her repeatedly the same day.
25) When underwear doesn't fit using the Get Dressed option, it doesn't get discarded as it would when you try to wear it manually. (Tested with all underwear and all outfits, couldn't reproduce.)
26) Having sex with the succubus you can give birth to doesn't reduce arousal.
27) Multiple repeat messages occur when using the inflatable dildo.
28) It's possible to initiate the robot TF while another TF is complete, which won't actually activate the robot TF, but will restrict things as if you were a robot.
29) The fertility treatment at the doctor's office can act as though you've received it recently when you haven't received it at all. (Couldn't reproduce, the only way for this to be possible is if you're pregnant; even if you don't know that you are, she'll refuse to give you the treatment.)
30) It's possible to get stuck in the Private Dancer job, unable to actually work. (Couldn't reproduce, need more information.)

As you can see, many of the bugs have been fixed. The rest will take more time, as they're more complicated than simply tweaking code. I'll get those fixed Thursday.

Clarification

To be clear, I'm looking for any and all bugs that you might be encountering, even if they have nothing to do with the update. I'm planning on doing a massive bug fix on Tuesday and Thursday (if need be), to squash as many bugs as possible before I start on the next version next Tuesday.

Either email me (preferred) or leave a comment on the blog.

Update 7/12

Two months later...

Multipregnancy is in the game. You can become pregnant with identical twins (boys or girls), fraternal twins (always a boy and a girl), or triplets (boys or girls only). Clothing descriptions haven't changed (yet). There's a new variable: Multiple Pregnancy Chance. This starts at 1%, but is increased by ANY increase in fertility (feminine tea, fertility treatment, etc). It decreases very slowly, so unless you want every sexual encounter to potentially result in twins or triplets, you may not want to raise it too much.

Also, I finally realized that I never moved babies to the bedroom after they were born, so...I did that. Babies # 2 and 3 don't have any interactions because I just realized I forgot about that, so good job, me.

Oh, and if you're pregnant with triplets, you might want to keep your strength above 50. Otherwise, you might find it difficult to do...anything.

Werewolf TF has been changed slightly. You can no longer become a werewolf if you started down any of the inhuman TFs. If you have, the official reasoning is that the inhuman DNA isn't compatible with the infection; it just doesn't take.

Dragon TF is now in the game, activated by the new Komodo cigarettes item. Unlike other TFs, when you reach the appropriate threshold for a change, it happens immediately, so if you're in public, you'll get slightly different scenes than if you're at home. Also, on occasion, you will be sent home after the change, so be careful if you're smoking at work or something.

There are now penalties for arousal in the game, sort of. It will alter your skills temporarily, but the game isn't set up to recognize the new skill variables, so it doesn't actually do anything yet. That would've taken a few hours, and I don't have that time right now. Next update, or next bug fix. Anyway, if you get to max arousal, you will either masturbate or have sex (if you're at home or in public, respectively). Who you have sex with depends on your sexual orientation, and what kind of sex you have depends on if you're a futanari or not.

Also, if you're a werewolf, there's entirely unique arousal effects, but the max arousal penalty includes implied vore. So if you're not into that, either don't become a werewolf, or don't let your arousal max out if you do.

Finally, I added three new testing item commands. One is to make yourself pregnant (single, twins, triplets, your choice). The other two are for adding traits for testing purposes. Both normal traits and sex traits are available. You can also clear your current traits, but be aware that if you've become a futanari, and clear the sex traits, the game will act as though you do not have a penis, and you will not be able to get it back. So...careful with that.

I have not done any bug fixes since the last update, so be aware of that. If you have a bug to report, send an email. I can sort through those and get a bug fix out next week before I start the next update.

You can download the new version here.

More Codin'!

I really, really want to get a version out today, but there's a lot of stuff to work on, unfortunately. We'll see how long my desire to work can win against my desire to be a lazy ass.

Dragon Girl TF is almost done, so that will be first.
EDIT: Dragon Girl TF is done.

Then finishing up multiple pregnancies, which (fingers crossed) shouldn't take more than an hour.
EDIT: It took more than an hour, but it's done. Adding some testing commands now.

Then the high arousal events, which are actually done but for the displayed text...I think, it's been a while since I've looked at them.

So buckle up, chuckles. Let's go for a ride.

Codin'!

Got to get this update out, so I can get on to the next thing!

I counted up my pages of notes today, something I never really bothered to do, but I had a brain fart today and couldn't think of anything else to do while waiting for it to clear (I do keep track of my mechanical pencil usage, which today resulted in the death of pencil #10). As it turns out, I have 368 pages of notes for this game, over 3 notebooks (2 and 1/2 so far, anyway). That...is a lot of notes.

Today's notes mostly revolved around the coding specifics of the various transformation changes, which is ten pages, brainstorming for new main plot and side plot content (things like the church nuns, or the mermaid at the beach), and figuring out the specifics of what happens when a werewolf player meets the werewolf random encounter while out and about.

Also came up with a few new items. Someone pointed out that there's no items to reduce lip and hip size, so I had to come up with those (minty lip gloss and keggles DVD, respectively). Someone in the comments mentioned that the werewolf event is so random that it's hard to trigger, so I had to come up with an item that would guarantee the event happening (Wolf Claw Necklace, costs between $250 and $450, I haven't decided yet). And even after all this, I still haven't figured out a way to trigger the Doggirl TF (Energy drinks: makes a single home exercise action take a full time block, but you get twice the benefits, adds to Dog TF).

Suffice to say, despite the fact that I'm not coding all that much lately (life is busy, and when I'm not busy, I usually have other things I want to do), I haven't been sitting on my ass here. Work work work.

Saturday Streaming

Streaming for a bit this weekend, trying to get stuff done since my supposed week off ended up being a bit of a cluster-fuck.

Note: it will be intermittent. An hour here and there as I find time.

Edit: Well, that's probably all I'm going to be able to get done today. But dragon TF has jumped significantly up, and I'm thinking I might be able to have a release out within the next week.

Apologies

So, obviously, there was no stream on Thursday. There's a lot of things that happened, but what it basically came down to was I hadn't done any work on my classes for the week, and I had to play catch-up for the morning. Then in the afternoon, I had to clean up my apartment, something I haven't done in weeks. It was almost at a 1 on the Apartment Cleanliness scale.

This week should be a bit more straight-forward in terms of scheduling, and I even have Wednesday off for Independence Day, which is nice, so the hope is that I'll be able to get a lot done.
