Neeeeeews

I wanted to update tonight. Everything was looking dandy for it, I've added a random event, it activates in the fashion that I want it to. It just...doesn't change the text to match who's activating it. And the text isn't wrapping. And I'm not entirely sure why. I'm not in a state to sort it out tonight, I'm thinking about elaborate memory-erasing stories right now. It's really distracting. So...hopefully I'll solve the issues tomorrow and there'll be a release then. If I don't, I'm just gonna move on to working out forbidden rooms and do them both in one go. I actually really like that idea, let's me reset my schedule and also complete all the enslaved content stuff I wanted to do in one go. Without any actual content.

We'll see tomorrow.

Shield High 0.628 releases. Pudding Earl almost forgets how to spell Shield.

I see the word a lot okay? Sometimes it stops looking like a real word. Anyway, yes, 0.628 is here. What's in it? A lot of NPCs walking around and not much else. A couple of them have been mis-matched with their pictures. I'll fix that next week. Either way, the school feels like a school now I think.

So, next week, what's coming? Assuming it even is next week, there will be a final event for the enslavement stuff, which will work off of rooms you're forbidden from entering, and if you get caught in them. That'll basically take up the whole week to program I reckon. After that we'll do some more Stacy story because I kinda have to keep the story going, then brush up some more on the enslaved stuff again. I will *attempt* to write more scenes, but no promises.

Anyway, download here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/6ve1qtgbixldr66/Shield_High_JS_0.628.zip

Enjoy looking at pretty pictures and tell me who your favorite is. I personally am fond of Miranda, so expect a plot for her eventually.

Lies and Slander

Release tomorrow. I huuuuugely over-estimated how big my attention span for mind numbing extracting character images from bigger ones is. Turns out it's not big enough to do that and then program. And name characters. So, cut outs tonight, programming, naming, release tomorrow.

If there's no release tomorrow, that means I'm just giving up and adding some more content or something on top of it and going to release next week. We'll see.

Shield High to release tomorrow.

I've been making characters and stuff, ready to give Shield High a small population boost in preparation for the new events and stuff, just been out all day and in no mind set for working tonight, so I'm going to just put it off from what would be my usual release schedule (ha ha very funny usual release schedule) and put out the update tomorrow.

In other news having spent a week looking at Shield High uniforms on new girls I've basically been falling in love with my game all over again, so morale should be at the highest it's been in a long time. New girls are really pretty. At least, in my opinion. Going to be trying to do some writing too while I'm at it.

So, enjoy tomorrow, I suppose.

Shield High 0.627 releases

I'm way too excited by this release. What's it do? It adds pathing. How does that work? Simple, as you walk around the school, so does everyone else. They will wander out of class while you have time to do things, and then onto the next class when it's supposed to start. Every two rooms you move the NPCs move one. This is basically to stop them being too fast for you to catch up to them and intercept. The reason I'm excited by it is it suddenly has given the game that first real spark of life it needs to be the game I want it to be.

As for why I'm doing this...random events during enslavement. I will spend this week pondering how to do them while I design pretty pictures of new characters to populate the school and wander around it all. This will provide you with a lot of NPCs to run into, thus prompting lots of options for random events, and getting caught disobeying your Mistress, which is basically the point of all of this.

Given how lovely pathing looks now I may look into doing some more elaborate pathing in the future, but I don't know, probably not honestly. Anyway, download is here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/l8l1a0bbetl52hm/Shield_High_0.627.zip.

Not bothering to put it on the sidebar this time because I wanna get it to the place I feel it should be for this promised slave content before I put up new updates. Also lazy.

Hope you enjoy and that it's not too buggy. If it is please tell me since I just ran around for like, a minute.

Information regarding update.

There will be an update this week. In an ideal world that update would be tomorrow, as I've got all the code for pathing in place and I just need to set up everyone's paths and test it. Which is why I say in an ideal world because if there is unexpected bugs it may delay me a bit. Not sure how much of a delay it may produce though.

If I end up having a couple days delay, say, if it's not out by Thursday night, I will simply give up on this week and move the intended update date to the week after and then add more NPCs once I've finished the bug fixing.

As for why I haven't released sooner, long story short, net was capped for half a week. No internet does terrible, terrible things to one's morale when it comes to working on games. So yeah, I got almost nothing done that week sorry.

The Situation

I just finished the pathing map. I hate coding forever why did I ever think this was a good idea oh my god.

Okay, got that out of my system. Should have pathing working in the next couple of days. Making this map took longer than expected. Not that it was hard. It was just so tedious I couldn't do more than two or three rooms most days. I ended up finishing it while watching the GSL. Which if you don't watch, you should. Because it's amazing.

Anyway, another point of news, I am possibly going to be splitting this blog into two blogs at some point because a friend of mine wants to put out some of his work under the Pudding Games banner (there's actually a lot of people who fall under it they're just all too lazy to make games). Since it's not an adult game I'd be turning this blog into the normal not 18+ blog and making one that is for Shield High and other such games when they happen. This would also let me put out any other stuff I come up with (mostly tabletop roleplay stuff I guess) without immediately associating it with Shield High. Just so you all know. It's not likely to happen any time soon.

Anyway, release sometime next week probs.
