Thursday sprint report (Patreon)

Sprint target: release Female Agent 1.4Days worked: 10 | Pomodoros logged: 83Task points completed: 22/154

Finished coding in the skill rolls!  One advantage a computer roleplaying game has over a tabletop version is that it can carry out quite complex odds calculations without slowing play down: for example, becoming a cheerleader takes into account your character's looks, social confidence, popularity, and many other factors, as well as her natural athleticism (which would probably be the only factor in a tabletop game).

My hope is that, in gameplay, this will lead to outcomes that are sometimes surprising but also feel realistic – like a hot geeky girl making the cheerleader squad, or a desk jockey Analyst realising that she's got a real talent for field work.

I have meetings tomorrow so the next dev day is Saturday.
