Progress Report #2: Triple X-Com Missions
Added 2020-09-06 14:09:28 +0000 UTCIt's been a busy month. I've mainly been working on the technical part of the tease: the mission system.
One major part of Triple X-Com is the ability to go on missions to retreive 🧰debris, which you need to rebuild your base/ship. They are a series of (more or less random) encounters you have to go through. Here are a few infos about them!
Preparing a mission:
Before starting a mission, you have the choice between multiple mission types. At the beginning, you will only have 'short' missions available. But as you progress and rebuild your base, you will be able to go on 'medium' and 'long' missions or even some special ones that I won't spoil just yet.
After you have made your choice, the mission begins.
Normal encounters:
Depending on the size of the mission, you will face a series of enemies. You can read about the basic idea of the combat system in my last progress report.
Besides having to defend against them in perverted ways, you also have your own offensive skills. There are normal attacks, the ability to rest for a moment to recover energy, but also unlockable special abilities. Just to name a few: You will be able to use magic or tease your opponent into submission. Unlocking more interesting abilities is part of the game.
Special encounters:
Sometimes - instead of fighting against an enemy - you will encounter a unique event. One example is an alien lifeform that can read your mind and take advantage of your fetishes.
Since you guys want me to focus my extra time mainly on writing, this will be a bigger part of the tease than I planned at first! And it's very expandable.
Let me know if you have any ideas/wishes for little short stories that could happen on an perverted alien planet!
(you will only be able to trigger each special encounter once by the way. So they don't repeat unless you manually reset them)
General progress:
90% - Planning
80% - Picture collecting
40% - Picture editing
95% - Sounds
75% - Mission System
15% - Side Stories
5% - Main Story
Overall progress: 45%
Estimated release: October
An important note. EOS has some issues at the moment. It's impossible to create new projects right now. That complicates my plans a little bit, since I can't just create a seperate demo version like I've planned.
And I won't be able to start a new tease after I'm done with Triple X-Com and the issue still persists. So I've decided to spend more time with this tease. It will be very modular so I can keep working on it after release. But that also means that I certainly won't be done with it this month.
💖 Thank you for all your support. It's amazing to me that we've already reached over 15 current patrons!
