Patch v0.1b and future goals
Added 2020-07-20 03:01:37 +0000 UTCThere's a new devlog post on Itch.io in which I go on some detail about future development goals. Also, here's the changelog for the v0.1b patch:
Changelog version 0.1b
--- Bug Fixes ---
Fixed an error that appeared occasionally on social interactions.
A function that returns weighted random elements from a list was generating random int numbers with a floating limit, which could rarely cause the function to try and return a non-existing element located after the end of the list, if the randomly generated number had the exact value of the sum of all weights from the list.
his could have also been causing problems in sex scenes and AI behavior on the map, since they use this function all the time.
Fixed: When a training action didn't last for a whole hour, less than 20 points of the corresponding bar were substracted, but this wasn't properly displayed.
Fixed: If a training action was finished at the end of the training period, the experience returns would be disminished.
Fixed: The option for the player to take the lead during a scene wasn't getting checked at the start of the scene, which sometimes caused the player to be able to take the lead in situations where this shouldn't have been possible.
--- AI rebalancing ---
Tweaked some functions from the social AI. Angry characters should now be more likely to use hostile interactions, and characters angry enough now may decide to leave conversations early.
Reduced chance of AI to choose to attempt to talk to someone if it's training period.
--- Other ---
Changed the formatting of some info from the work period.
Added a readme.txt file to the game's folder with useful information for people who may not understand how to play Twine games.
--- Other bug reports ---
I have received messages reporting other errors that I haven't been able to replicate. If you have further information regarding them, please contact me.
The errors were:
- Display of error messages after choosing actions during sex scenes (it's possible this had the same cause as the social interactions bug, in this is the case I can't replicate this one because it would be fixed in the patched version).
- Unable to play a specific sex scene from a story event.
- Unable to start social interactions with other characters when the game shows the "Join conversation" button.
I'm aware of a couple of extra bugs that weren't reported, but they weren't critical enough to make it into this patch.
