Shield High JS 0.623 releases. Saves the day.

So what's new in this update? Not content, that's for sure! But I did make a fairly tentative and ramshackle save system which is put into the game. At present you can only have one save. Really, that's all you need at this stage. It's mostly just meant for making testing easier. Down the line I will have to re-do parts of it to play nice with future content. And also add to the whole, making multiple saves thing. Right now it saves to your Shield High folder, is called "Save File" and contains a whole bunch of magical numbers and words. Feel free to fuck with them. Tell me what happens. I'm curious as to how broken you can make it. Or don't, y'know, if you like games not breaking.

This week I promise, after taking a day or two off to recover from save file shenaningans I will make Angel play nice with the whole Andriana plot, and then include the post-fight fuckings. There will be no losing plot just yet though, as much like losing to Karen, that whole bit needs to be re-done to fit in line with the new, more ambitious direction of Shield High. Following that I'll be putting out the Stacy fight, and then slowing down to do some slavery programming I think. This plan is really tentative for the time being. Sorry things are taking so long.

More Lies. Also News.

So, I looked at the code a bunch of times. Other than the two things I promised last week I can't see anything I can easily do without a lot more stuff written up. So like, I could've tried to get them fixed up, but really, that'd just be putting off what needs to be done to get some hollow praise for putting out a new release and as much as I love you guys telling me you love my work, I'd rather you tell me you love the brand new features I've added. So, this week, I'm looking at how to make save files. It's proving...a little tricky. Mostly just wrapping my head around the process. I imagine once I've got it all sorted in my head it'll be easier. Anyway point is, that's what I'm doing, so it might take a few weeks to get it all sorted.

Also I need to know, where do people want their save files going? They're going to probably be editable in some way, so I suppose you'd want them easy to find, but I don't think just throwing them into a folder in documents is a good idea with a porn game. So, feedback, where should I put them?

Thanks for your patience,

Shield High 0.622 Release

Remember when I said there'd be a release next week? Yeah, me too. Okay so, why did this take so long? I actually did testing, that's why. Turns out one of the functions I was counting on for my event generation, which I'm using for the Andriana plot, was COMPLETELY broken. Like, it did not function at all. I ended up making a whole new method of scheduling events. And before that I struggled with the Melanie buttons. Turned out I'd forgotten to label them as having text. Good job me. Anyway, here it is, 0.622, complete with Andriana fight.

As always, glitch reports appreciated. Right now the Angel content just doesn't work, I didn't get around to setting it up for 0.62 and since then it's been nothing but bug fixing. Also, after the fight it does the flickery thing. Same basic problem as the Angel stuff, when I first did it I had time constraints and then I wanted to get this to you guys as quickly as possible. Next week at least one of those two issues will be fixed. Hopefully both so I can re-work a bit of the old Angel stuff and get it into the game in an updated state.

Thank you all so much for your patience, I really appreciate it.

Enjoy

Quick explanation for no release.

I went to my mother's for a couple days and forgot my charger. That's...basically it. So I didn't have my laptop stable enough to work. I watched warehouse 13 instead, if you're wondering what I did. You...probably weren't. Anyway, new release...sometime next week, since I'm also working on a new project (not game or porn related don't worry) which is taking up my thoughts lately. But I will find the time to program and get everything to play nice I'm sure.

Sorry all,

Pudding Earl

P.S. Warehouse 13 is pretty good. If you haven't seen it you should.

New Version. Probably less bugs.

Okay so like, I'm not entirely recovered from the whole, hiatus thing. Just throwing that out there straight up. That's why this version is once again releasing without testing. I was going to, I wanted to, and then it came to tonight and I just...didn't want to deal with Shield High. So I got done the most obvious fixes, so now characters won't crash the game when you talk to them, and Angel is back where she belongs. Beyond that, no testing done yet. I'll probably do my own tests this week, but as always, a bit of help is nice, and hey, maybe I'm some amazing programmer who made literally no mistakes beyond this small over-sight and it'll now function perfectly. It's possible. Not likely though.

In between bug hunting and writing, I'm planning to push Shield High's technical limitations. This involves adding a ton of characters to it to see if having around a hundred or so characters on the list slows things down too much. With that in mind, if you've got an idea for a character you'd like to see added, now would be the time to let me know, seeing as I'm going to be going nuts with it, and some help would be appreciated. If you've got anything, even if it's just a name and a hair colour, or an elaborate character with a full set of kisekae images to go with it, e-mail me to let me know about it, and I'll see what I can do.

Haaaaa!

Not actually cancelled! Bet I got like, ten of you, maybe, with that one. Yes, it was all an April Fools. And yes, I am aware that it was poor taste. Listen, I make porn games, taste hasn't been a thing on this blog for like...ever.

Anyway, as for why I didn't clarify that it was a joke sooner? I've been busy working. What have I been working on? Not some silly measly update that brings boring things like polish, stability, features. No, no, who needs that? No, what we need is poorly planned, completely untested content!

So here it is, the Andriana fight in it's almost-entirety. Due to technical errors on my end pictures weren't an option. Had to clear my cache at some point, all my pretty character's I'd made got lost. Which I'd re-do happily but...poses are a bitch and I've seriously spent like, hours doing this today when normally I don't and I just am mentally exhausted. Oh yeah, the link, right.

So, will we be back to regular updates? Probably not. Will I continue work tomorrow to fix up the fuck ton of issues with this version? Yeah definitely. Like I said, this isn't tested in the slightest, so like, I'll probably release a more stable version in the next two days after I've done my own testing.

Enjoy, and my apologies for any depression/suicidal thoughts/lack of sunshine for my absence and terrible jokes. Next year is a joke release I promise.

An unfortunate announcement

Hey everyone,

So, I've been trying to keep at it and work on Shield High but...it's just not coming to me. As such, I've decided that I won't be developing it anymore. I'm really sorry to everyone who was looking forward to more, but I'm just not feeling the motivation anymore.

Sorry everyone,

Pudding Earl
