Beta 6.3 and FMG Report
Added 2016-10-28 18:41:12 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
Another revision of the last beta. There still some reported errors left but I am getting them done day by day. Here is the new stuff:
-You could farm role and romance points in the Event Viewer. Not anymore! Now, all the points you get or lose doesn't effect the actual score.
-I put some stat fields from the Bio files back. And changed a layout of the buttons a bit. Tell me if you find it better.
-There was some issues in the end of the fade in and out effect. Sometimes the effect 'jumped" the cycle. Whew, it's fixed now! This one was a very old bug.
-The FMG report section is implemented. Now it's called Growth Report. What do you think? Sounds better? Anyway, just the text of the first report is available now.
I chose to use the same layout for the text and buttons to the FMG report. Mainly because it works and it was tested a lot. The art i posted its the first state of Lima. At first, it will not be animated, there will be some 7 or 8 different versions of that art. The girls will grow little by little and final size will be the one featured on the first act. Simple, but not too simple.
For the second batch of FMG reports, the girls will use some huge machines simulating workout equipments. They grow bigger when they push the limits of their bodies. Each girl will get her own machine. Again, this will not be animated, it will be some 8 graphics for each girl. But in the end these graphics will work as a animated sequence.
About the text of the FMG Reports, i had an idea when I finished to write the first report. The doctor makes some nasty or funny commentaries in the report, completely not related to the experiment. It would be funnier to mark these commentaries with another font or color. She mentions in the report she will delete those comments later but the files are stolen before that.
That's it. Let me know if you have any question.
Comments
Yes, it makes sense. I will try this.

2016-10-31 11:42:16 +0000 UTCIs it just for me, but it`s stopped at Lima`s burst scene.

2016-10-30 21:58:43 +0000 UTCTo be honest, I find the text to be boring, It just jumps all over the place, from being serious minute-per-minute research paper to wacky stupid jokes, you just cant get a feel for it, so it's neither sexy nor funny overall. I think if you could just scroll down, then it'd be more interesting, plus if it was shortened a bit, and some filler stuff would be removed or revised, cause it feels too slow and unfocused. Maybe if it had like a muscle mass chart along or a table to highlight the progress. I mean the report mostly talks about a period of time of a couple of minutes, why not skip a few hours? That'd be more interesting and have more opportunity for humour, like Chakalaka had to turn off her stove or something and comes back and Lima's all big and didnt notice cause she was reading a girl's magazine (for aliens) on the table, and the chart was showing she was in critical mass zone or something

2016-10-30 14:01:47 +0000 UTCYep, you got the idea. The reports needs to have a formal and official look but in the same time she got another agenda and personal thoughts. I changed the places of the buttons in the Bio file because of the back button. But as you said, you will get used. Thank you for the review!

2016-10-29 11:51:58 +0000 UTCThanks! If you find anything weird in the game let me know. I worked a lot in how the events end and the screen transictions, changed a lot of things in the code.

2016-10-29 11:43:50 +0000 UTCThe Growth Report is looking good! The text isn't too long or too short, and has a nice feeling of a documented experiment without it just being the cold hard facts. And your ideas for the pics for the first and second stages of growth sound great! I like the idea of having multiple pictures that work like a little animated sequence when you've unlocked them all, and having the second set show the girls working out on some huge machines sounds awesome! I can't think anyone would have any objections to seeing that! :D The "doctor's notes" stuff sounds good too, another way of adding a little flavour and getting some jokes in, since there's already some of that stuff in there already, and it works well. Having it be in a different coloured font sounds good too. It gives the impression of scribbling the comments in the margins or something, rather than writing them up "officially". I did notice at one point just a few lines in it says "The vitals of undefined are being recorded now, stable", which I'm guessing should say "Lima", but otherwise no bugs that I could see. The new placement of the buttons and information boxes in the Bio Files section looks good, very neat and tidy. Though it might take a little getting used to that they're on opposite sides of the screen now, but that's just me. ;p All in all, everything looks great! Very nice update.
