UPDATE: The Pleasures and Pains of Adventures… Chapter’s “One” & “Two” – March 4, 2019
(as posted on our Patreon Page)
Using an adjective to describe the first two chapters of our new game “
Adventures of a Changed Boy”, I’d have to go with “
STEAMY” for “
Chapter One” and “
MAGICAL” for “
Chapter Two”!
Hello everyone and I hope that you had a great weekend and it is time for a current update to how things are going on around here!
Honestly, things are not moving along as smoothly as we wanted for the first release of “
Chapter One” to the prologue of “
Adventures of a Changed Boy” … and it is sort of my fault… please let me explain:
While creating “
Adventures of a Changed Boy”, I created a couple of additional stats that weren’t present in “
Wicked Choices: Book One”… such as: “
Respect”, “
Purity”, “
Corruption” and “
Magic”… because of that, Palanto has had to go through and change the Framework that we used for “
Wicked Choices: Book One” and retroactively add those stats and assign points to those new stats, so that the “
Save Files” for “
Wicked Choices: Book One” will inject and assign the points and levels correctly for “
Adventures of a Changed Boy”.
So, this weekend, Palanto had to go through the entirety of the framework and save file system of “
Wicked Choices: Book One” and add those new stats, assign mock points/levels and such so that players who want to import their saves and stuff into the new game won’t suffer crashes or get the dreaded messages of catastrophic failure.
He has also been working on creating a way for players (you) to be able to see those changes while in the new game, so that you can track the “r
elationships”, “
magic” and “
purity/corruption” of characters within it for personal tracking… because I’ve been using those “
stats” as a means to change up things in the story.
For example:
In “
Chapter One” that will be released soon… depending on your choices in that chapter will determine what scenes will be shown between
Namiko and
Yukio… likewise… also depending on your choices and answers in “
Chapter Two” in your conversation with
Ráðgríðr as
Larsen,
(as shown with the seven bottom boxes in the above image of the Twine file) will determine what kind of outfit
Ráðgríðr will choose to wear and will also determine the animated sex scene you will get… or if you even get one at all.
In short… because I am making the game so dependent on the choices you make, based on these new stats, in the framework of the
NEW GAME it became important and necessary for Palanto to add them in
RETROACTIVELY and adjust people’s save files, so that saves work correctly and we don’t get game crashing bugs when it calls for a stat that wasn’t present before.
So, the additional time (and frustration) that Palanto is taking and experiencing is, really, my fault.
I’m sorry. *sigh*
In my defense, I just wanted to create a means in which that the game and the story (as well as the art and animation) would change depending on your choices in each playthrough… that the relationships that you had or forged with characters in the game (or their purity/corruption level) would matter and affect what gets unlocked, revealed or what kind of sexual experience you can have with that character at a given point of the story.
I apologize for the extra time that it is taking, for the frustration that I am causing you and Palanto and he tells me, he hopes to have some beta test it sometime in a couple of days, with the game to be released quickly after.
I will keep everyone updated and, again, I apologize for the frustrations that I’ve caused by adding additional hooks or whatever they are called to the game (I am not a programmer), but I hope that you’ll enjoy the benefits of me having added them in.
Sorry,
~Jack
