Progress on the development of Malevolent Planet - 23rd June 2020
Added 2020-06-24 05:29:35 +0000 UTC
Even though those are busy days, I decided to use every little free time I have to continue working on getting the preview out sooner with any other additions I could bring to the game itself. Today's patch notes are:
- A pale skin color has been added to the game for any 🧛♀️ fans. I will have to borrow a screenshot from the last development update, because I cannot take screenshots of it right now and I will say why in one of the next bullet points.
- So.. the poll results were relatively divided. I assume that some of the votes that went to the No option went there because of the fact that while there is not really anything wrong with the current proportions, it could be a bit better. With the feedback provided by the benevolent commenters, I have decided to follow it through. In the end, while many won't think that it matters that much there are a few who would like different proportions as I have seen in a few other HTML games and if there is any better time to change it, I would say it is now, since there may be many outfits added to the game in the future and the workload will increase exponentially. The wardrobe functionality's CSS would probably have been affected by the changed sizes, so it is for the best. Courtesy of Picquilarius, I have added the reference image that shows the difference between the current version and other reference images.
- I am working on changing the proportions and while the eyebrows, breast sizes and the others were updated to the new resolution, the new body is currently still in development, so I could not take screenshots of the pale body skin color.. You can see a difference between the old and the new bodies in the first images, it is still in development so if there is any feedback you have regarding the current status, I would be happy to hear it.
- Added the image map for the ship's level 1 facilities. I think I will have to use .png layers here so that you can see both the upgraded and the old ship facilities, so I will test when I have more time.
- Wrote more content for the upcoming preview,. It will be a playable event in the new version release, but you need to upgrade a part of your ship in order to reach it. As I have just checked, I wrote 1500 words and the choice branches have started. If and when you reach the sexual scene through your choices, I will also give choices on what actions you can take during the sexual scene, so these are getting developed as well. If the feedback to the preview will be positive, the content from it will serve as a template to be upgraded upon in the scenes I am working on to be found within other quests, events and others.
My real life events are still severely constraining my time until around 30th June - 1st July, so meanwhile I am trying my best not to neglect the game in any way, but at times during these days it will be inevitable not to have as much time as I'd like to due to stress and work overload.
