Hey all!
Still putting together the pieces for this, but it's looking good so far! It occurred to me as I was writing the structure of this scene that it would need to be able to deal with many different concurrent variables. Ergo, the code structure is much more branchy than usual. This is meant to be real life and not in the dream, so successive scenes should feel like they are building upon each other as your relationship with the character deepens. The scene takes into account the four possible choices of dynamic, which will become more established as your friendship grows. It's also the first scene to incorporate a sprite animation and is easily the most complicated thing in the game to date.
On top of that, I made some improvements to the last scene I showed off and got a good deal of the drawing finished for the scene where you top the neighbor. I also added a small feature wherein you can "burn" a story idea for a one-time 5x boost on magnum opus progress. Right now, there's no falloff for reusing the same story like there is with writing smut and it's a flat 10% each time. I figure if a player wants to repeat a certain scene over and over, if it eventually becomes worthless as a smut story, it can be useful towards ending progress. My goal for this next week is to finish up this scene and start implementing the other one.
Lastly, I may be slower than usual this coming week as my significant other is returning from an extended trip and I wanna spend some time with them.
That's all I've got for now, seeya next week!
