Shield High 0.632 released.

Yes, it's now here! A little less content than I wanted but...I didn't want to rush out feats in the last two days, and prior to that I'd been playing with all dat customization. So, what IS new? Well, fonts being changed is a thing now. It isn't finished, I started playing with it. I think it looks stupid right now. I'm going to add more options in the next update, or the one after, regarding font sizes and fix them up. There was two things I wanted to do and so I did half of them. The second big thing is the customization. Stats have been dropped from 12s to 8s, which gives you a -1 in combat. You also have 24 points to spend on stat upgrades. That can get you to the vanilla all 12s, or let you specialize. I suggest making sure Int is 10 at least. Seriously.

ALSO, experience and levelling up. That's a thing too! Coming next week or week after depending on if I fix up text: Feats! Feats will give bonuses to certain actions. So you might get a +2 while your opponent is on the ground, or something.

I hope you all enjoy, sorry for no release last week!

No update this week!

I spent a lot of time thinking on how to go about the next update, and in doing so I didn't actually write much of it. I'm now at the stage of starting to code it, but the content that will be added is so tiny it doesn't feel worth throwing up this week. As such, no update this week so I have a bit more time to make sure it all works out. It'll be bringing some changes to combat, and possibly also the AI iuno. The AI currently is trash. It needs to be made smarter.

Anyway, yeah, just keeping you posted so I don't go and do that thing I do again.

Shield High 0.631

It doesn't work on 800x600! Possibly some other resolutions! But that's okay because all I did this week was play around with some interface stuff and fix up the saving glitch. I also had a look at the Andriana fight situation, and claims that it didn't work with making bets. It...did work. You just have to hit confirm a grand total of four times. I am going to look at fixing this up a little. Primarily in terms of re-arranging it, so you pick what you want first, and can then offer things. Also going to set it up so if you, as the player, pick to offer all your slaves, you may throw yourself into the offer, so it's possible to win Andriana. That or I will remove Andriana from the list of options. We'll see. I'll look at fixing up the other glitch this week, in between doing more interface stuff.

So, what DID I do with the interface, I bet you're wondering. What marvels did the Pudding Earl add? Well, I added an options screen. Which...isn't huge, until you realize the implications of it. It's got 4 buttons you can click right now, Save, Load, Logs, Stats. What does Stats do? I hear you ask. Well, right now all it does is show you your 6 combat stats. But what it will do soon, is allow you to level up. Right after I do some combat tweaking. Well, before that, but then after it. But yes, I'm planning to finally add in the ability to customize your Jessica a bit. Other buttons that are written into the game but not yet turned on(there's a glitch to see em so I may as well just tell you) are Characters, which will give you a list of characters in the game, and let you look up some stuff about 'em, a map button, which I may just remove because I hate everyone who plays my game (I kid, I kid, I just hate making maps we'll see), and finally a button I believe is still labelled "Wardrobe" but I want to change to "Inventory". This one will tie in with the shops, to let you buy a whole bunch of new options for Jessica's underwear, and probably also things like cat ears or something. Iuno, I'll decide down the track.

Oh yeah, if you're wondering why it doesn't work on 800x600 it's because text collides. I'm gonna look into a smaller font size for next week. I almost did it this week but I had two days and I didn't want to fuck about with ALL THE CODE that would need changing for a smaller font size. It's a shockingly large amount. Mostly in text-wrap services.

Anyway, take all this stuff with a grain of salt etc because I am the Peter Molyneux of indie porn games so I could be full of shit. Who knows? I clearly don't. Also I'm now taking this as fact until someone tells me otherwise.

Enjoy

Shield High 0.6301.

It doesn't deserve a full fourth number honestly. It's just some dialogue for Catriona. That's all I did this week. But it felt good to do it, let me tell you. I'd have done more but I'm brushing up the first chapter of my book to send to a publisher so, y'know, that took priority some nights. Not tonight. Tonight is Skyrim after I finish this post.

Anyway, I didn't quite right all the dialogue I wanted, one entry isn't finished because I was tired and couldn't think good. There's also two sex scenes instead of one because I couldn't decide who should fuck who so I let you do it instead. Be warned though, it currently breaks, so uh, yeah. I'll fix that next week. Next week will be the week of bug fixing and feature adding while I write up some Stacy fight stuff. Hopefully Andriana will be playing nice by then, and you'll have a proper options screen. Very important for some features I have in mind. Which I won't talk about too much lest I turn into the Peter Molyneux of indie porn games. Which I probably already have.
