Sloowwwww Updates

2400-ish words of new dungeon text done.  About 1k of that is a bad-end related to the first monster.  Almost none of that was done today.  Today I found some oversights regarding tentacle-cocks that I corrected, and then proceeded to lay on my ass for most of the day.

Then I decided to tackle the save system since I've been having a lot of people with problems with it.  In the next release it now stores the data a bit differently, in a way that any new CoC build will recognize from anywhere on your computer and with any filename.   I also tweaked the save code to more accurately record success/failure.

PROS:
-Less hassle when transitioning to a new build.
-I also updated the error-checking on saving so it should more properly report successes and failures in saving.

CONS:
-All previous save data is inaccessible with the new system.  It's possible for me to write a conversion script but I'd rather put my time towards the new dungeon and encounters.  Don't hate >.<

I'm mildly depressed due to a few things, namely love & money (aint they a bitch!?), but I'll just keep slamming my head into wall till I bust through and find a chest full of civil war gold.   ...Yeah I have no idea where I was going with that.


PEACE!

EDIT: (A bit of other news - got a parasite event being submitted, so we may have a new monster in the books for the next update too.  I do plan to implement some kind of way for players to toggle the event off if it grosses them out, but it won't be with any crazy option menu.  I value my fourth wall damnit, I just had to put up a new one!)


This picture is relevant to my interests and also the first image I found on /d/ to catch my eye.  And it's not porn!

  2. But female space marines are against the rules!

    Anyway, keep up the good work Fen. I wouldn't be to bothered about the whole save games things. I know I never did any fancy dicking around in the inner systems of my computer to port saves.

    Wait, you can just keep saves by just renaming the .swf, can't you? I guess I'm just lazy then. Whatever, never bothered preserving saves.

  4. @unitomega - psh, who's to say there isn't a company of Salamanders trapped in the warp for a few decades that had to resort to unorthodox practices? Also she should have a melta or flamer in fitting with the chapter's theme of burnination!

    @Toby - I didn't know Salamander's skin color was designated as black...I had an army of white ones >.<

    This picture makes me want to mod a sister of battle with with techpriest bits for a techmarine...goddamn I miss playing 40k!

  8. Civil War gold? Dude, go for Nazi gold, no one cares where you get it from!

  9. Except those Nazis...They'll try to take it back. But it's ok if you kill them. They don't count.

  10. Sounds like you've been working (pretty) hard!
    I'll miss my current character with the new release, but new content is a better thing than keeping him I think :P.

  11. Most excellent. I've already maxed out every stat and gotten every mutation I can seem to get. Though I wish there was a targeted way to get rid of features. Is there anything that destroys Antennae? I don't really want those but if I use Pure Honey to lower Libido I always end up with them.

    Would you consider giving Giacomo, or maybe the shop you mentioned, an item that can reverse specific mutations?

  12. So, like, is the new release coming out on 700K page views or something? That'd be a pretty sweet page hit reward, For sure.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Maybe add a debug menu that you can make certain encounters happen?

    ReplyDelete
  14. At the current page-view rate I would expect to have 8-900 thousand views on the blog before the big release. I'm looking at doing a few smaller releases in the meantime of user submitted content and smaller events.

  20. Ok, a few things. First when you have a tentacle cock taking canine peppers always changes it to a dog cock silently. Second the empty text box bug after clicking on the attack option still is around for me. I'm using shockwave flash if that might have anything to do with it. Third I'm still loving this wonderful game and eagerly wait for the next up date.

  21. Just a quick Q & A.....has anyone here found any spells yet?

    ReplyDelete
  22. is there any easy way we can edit the save files? like give items etc. I have found the save location but the .sol is not very easy to understand.

    ReplyDelete
