Girlfriend walking art done (Patreon)
Content
I drew the walking art for the girlfriend. Works properly, except a few frames she is being drawn behind the snow-footprints layer. I started to fix it... however, after spending half a day on it, I've realized it's related to the same hack I did to simulate snow depth... Sigh. So, unless I redesign the entire map-draw system, it's not fixable without even more silly hacks. Anyways, it's just an occasional minor graphical effect, so I'm not going to delay game progress for weeks redoing all that. At least, not right now. Here: an image:
You'll also notice I added gaining Energy from eating Snow. This is because I happened to not have the Leaves needed to craft Energy-Tea and was not impressed with being at 0 Energy and waiting 10 seconds between steps trying to find some. So, I added a few more ways to gain Energy in a pinch: Snow Water, Teas... Also, I'm working on additional storage containers, as seen above the tent. Not sure how I want to design them as I don't like when games have hundreds of containers across dozens of bases, and half your time is spent on item management... Anyways, I'll work on that next week and have a poll if I still haven't decided.
I was walking around the map testing it, when I noticed you also really run out of food quickly now, feeding two people all the time. I increased the Salads to give 25% more food, but I'm also adding in better food sources this upcoming week. Meat will be harder to find/cook but give twice as much food. I checked arctic animals out and found a bird, squirrel, and rabbit that will work. They will randomly appear when you enter a new screen and run away. They can all be caught in survival traps overnight (meaning I need to add the day/night cycle as well) so that will be the first step. Crafting an outdoor bonfire is step two. Cooking the meat over time is step three.
Another annoyance was the girlfriend getting too cold while sleeping and waking up quickly, so I included the firepan on the girlfriend screen and you can switch between inventory and girlfriend to add fuel, keeping her warm and asleep as long as you want. Image is adult though so:
That's about it this week. I have a full list of miscellaneous tasks to do this week, but might also try and add some more adult content like whack-off or something for the game-file-update in March. We'll see.
