Course of Temptation Dev Diary #4
Hello friends!For the last few days I've mostly been working on the "sneak around outside and try not to get caught" exhibitionism system. As these things tend to go, it was a bit more work than I anticipated, but I've just got a handful more events to write and it'll be complete (for now). So I'm on track to get the update out this weekend, quite possibly tomorrow.Like many things in the game right now, it'll be a bit...

Course of Temptation Dev Diary #2

My plan is: finish writing the current event set...

Many events plus a longer term plotline attached. The River Rat: A bar to drink, chat, get picked up at. Random e...
