Weekly status report

Good afternoon,

It's Friday again and therefore time to write about the events of the past week.

As you probably noticed I haven't finished the bonus scene yet. the reason for that is the extent it has taken. Currently I have 24 animations for this bonus scene. In the meantime I wanted to add more, but then I refrained from it, because the effort is already big enough.

Why so much, you might ask. The reason is that I have built the scene modularly. That is, the actors act independently of each other. This was necessary because there are 2 variations of Umah (Lainah) and because there should be 2 different views of the whole scene. So in principle like the party scene in the bandit camp but just from 2 views and with several positions per person.
At this point all animations are now done and implemented, I also worked on a script for the scene which allows the player to switch between positions. The last thing missing now is the actual dialogue for the scene. I've started working on that today and I hope to get it done by tonight. If not then I will continue to work on it tomorrow until it's done.

Aside from working on this scene there were other things I've worked on over the week. Some bugfixes and I also did my first tests with the treasurehunt system. To some degree what I envisioned works but some other aspects have to be adjusted further and I hope I can get these done next week.
The idea is the following: The Mc opens up a treasure map which he receives from Melissa. this map now generates a treasure on a random map (I set up some possible positions for that similar to the hide and seek game with Arianna where there are several positions where she can hide on the ruins map, but this time on many more maps). it also shows the location to the player by showing him a small section of said map and the treasure is marked with an X. This actually works already. All details can be stored in variables and the creation of the treasure works as well.
The problem I still have with that is to make this shown Image now actually look like a map. because as it is I have weather effects on multiple maps (clouds/fog/sunbeams) these destroy the illusion of the image being shown actually looking like a map. I will see if this can be changed, however this was only a side project I worked on over the past days (when I needed a break from working on the scene), so I hope with more time it can be done. More about that next week.

The goal is to get a testversion of this treasurehunt out by the end of the month. So I plan to release an update (0.5.5.5) which will also include some first interactions & scenes with Melissa. I will keep you updated on my progress next Friday and I hope I can fix the problems that I still have with the map until then.

@Mayor: I've started a pre vote for the next addition to the bonus scene poll on discord. It will run until Monday. These are the options for this pre vote:

• Helena: She wants to see the MC more often, because of that she decides to disguise herself as her maid to then leave the Mansion unnoticed and visits him like that in his House (bath + Roleplay Helena as Maid)
• Frisha & Verena: An alternative to the debt quest with Grant: instead she gets to work with Verena to earn money, which will lead to some 3some action.
• Anya: Her home is still a bit messy. Because of that the MC suggests to her to raise money with massages. which will then be used to buy decoration for the house. First customers could be Penny & Melissa. + More action between Anya & MC (sex during yoga).
• Kate & Frisha: Kate is curious about the dress she got and visits Frisha to get another one. If both are corrupted enough this will lead to a lesbian scene and the MC will get involved as well.
• Emily & Claire: They now regularly meet every few days (as they have been friends for a while now, every few days Claire visits Emily instead of talking to Verena). Claire notices Emily's new dress and is shocked at first, but even more when she finds out that the MC likes it and that Emily & MC have something going (depending on route). Jealous, Claire shows up in a provocative dress to challenge Emily. which will lead to a small competition between them and in the end 3some scene.
• Verena: Renovate your cellar and deploy some toys. Then Verena can come for a visit to have some fun in the dungeon. (spanking/anal play/sex)

The winner will then be added to the bonus scene poll on Monday. If you want to participate check the #bonus-scene-prevote channel.

I will now continue working on the Bonus scene for Maui & Umah.
I wish you all a nice weekend!
