Shrunken Life Progress Update

Just a progress update on what's happening with Shrunken Life. Progress is steady, and it's going faster than I planned, especially with all that has been happening (Trust me, a LOT of things have been happening, most of which has been bad). Unfortunately I still don't have an estimated release date. Here's a quick summary of what has been done so far:

- 50+ new pictures for the various scenes being added. (Along with a few short video clips)

- 2 new generic characters have been added, although some generic enemies have gotten new scenes.

- The "Massage Minigame" Has been redone. It is now more of a find-the-spot-with-the-arrow-keys, instead of what it was before. It will have more uses later on.

- A new minigame involving pressing arrow keys in the right order has been made. This will have use in some events/battles.

- All battle formulas have been redone to make things easier. Your stats will matter more, and you won't have to worry about insane pulling. There is a soft cap instead of a hard cap, meaning you are less punished for having lower stats than a enemy has (the same applies to enemies though!)

- The Custom Food Plugin is now a custom plugin menu (instead of being only script calls). All characters have favorite foods, which give double the stats than it normally does. Lots of food have been given buffs as well.

- Oral Battles have been modified (not including the new battle formulas).

- Pictures will no longer be compressed. All future pictures will have higher quality, at the price of being an additional 1-3MBs in size. This shouldn't affect gameplay (The main reason why images were being compressed was due to the bug that made a battle fps slowly drop until you were getting a few frames, but that turned out to be thanks to a plugin, not the pictures themselves)

There are still some major things that still need work though:

- While BV and AV Battle skills have been organized, we still haven't decided on a mechanic that will make those kinds of battles stand out from being just another UB/Oral Battle.  

- We are working on a daily event mechanic, where certain days will have events that may help you for the better or for worse. Some scenes might only be available during certain events.

- The possible conclusion for Grace's Plan is being worked on. So far only 1 ending of 3 has been made. (And that ending alone is ~2000 words at least according to Microsoft word)

When I release an update, I'll also be releasing a bit of information relating to my new game that's I've been mentioning these last few posts. Stay tuned!
