ð Development Diary, October 2022 ð
🕑 Added 2022-10-10 13:27:38 +0000 UTCLol - I haven't done a dev diary for aaages, but since I finally have a bit of spare time, here's a jumble of my ill-prepared thoughts ð
Season 2 Report
I'm super-happy with the way Season 2 is going so far... I had cold feet and a few sleepless nights about changing up the format [and trusting in my ability to code stuff like stats!] but it seems to be paying off ð A huge debt of gratitude is owed to devSin - who's helped me out with code; and all the amazing guest devs who've helped keep the updates coming while I settle into a new work routine.
Of course, there have been a few bumps along the way. Prison Snitch ended up a nightmare [with a major bug on release and a few more minor ones along the way]. That's largely fixed now, although there's still a bit of missing dialogue! ð I also managed to make a mistake integrating Cenc's mission - and had to reissue the same day [reissuing is horrific, 5 hours of compressing and packaging and uploading to fix a single misnamed filepath ðĐ] I really must learn to code ð
Guest Missions
You've now seen 5/6 planned Guest Holodeck missions [thats BBN, BC, Erwin & Cenc] Anyone who hasn't played their missions in the Holodeck should give them a whirl! I think they were all amazing - and perfectly calibrated to fit in the SpaceCorps universe - and hope they pick up a bunch of extra patrons through exposure! ð
There's still one to come, although not for a few updates yet. After that, I'll do a poll to see if you guys fancy any more! ðģ
My Missions
This is the bit where Season 2 is still a bit lacking... the story-integrated missions with my OCs. That's been more a matter of time than desire, but rest assured that I have a great big stack of scenario ideas, and that they'll be winging their way to you soon ðĶ
These will be an interesting mix of larger single missions, and mission chains with smaller constituent parts. Some will be more story-based; some more stat-gain based; and a few will be self-indulgent jokes that I hope you guys find as funny as I do ð
Next Update
Not next update, tho... that's all about the continuing main storyline - and a bit more like Season 1 content than you've seen so far in Season 2. There will be several optional sex scenes [2 f/m and 1 m/m], and a strongly Halloween feel ð I won't give spoilers tho... except to say that you're heading towards a major showdown ðĪš
Anyway, rambling over... All Hail the Union! ððŧ
