[Ep 1.19] Beat sheet beat

Added 2023-04-24 08:22:19 +0000 UTC

Good morning guys! Last week I finished the beat sheet for the whole episode. It came out at 38 pages long, which I think is gonna make for a big episode!

I shared it with some contributors and got some really good feedback so far. It's highlighted a couple of areas that will need a little bit of extra work, and suggested a few cool ways to improve some of the planned scenes. (Thanks to mano2, thorson, XG, SolidFocus702, Khal and The Lost Engineer for input on this.)

I also built some new code to test out a new gameplay feature. I think it will make the bar shifts more interesting if the customer encounters aren't all scripted, and the heroine can experience a few random encounters on the nights she's working.

I built some code that selects from a pool of encounters (and can choose encounters based on her traits, like nationality or bra size), and successfully transitions from the scripted session, to the random encounter, then back to the next point in the script.

Today I'm going to write some example encounters, and we'll get a test of the system out to Operators as Soon™ as possible for feedback. I feel like this could be a really cool feature, but the only way to find out is to experience it and see if it works or if it falls flat.

Okay, that's it for this report! I'm gonna get straight back to work! Have a greta day everybody. 🦀 ❤️
