Fortnightly Progress - 11th July (Patreon)

• No Haven

Been giving the existing aspects a going over in preparation for adding the new ones. I've changed how the text is generated rather than having to repeat them all four times in different places. Wording has also been improved, made more consistent with extra formatting, and now some require a certain level of experience before they can be taken. 

I've also made decent progress on changing the level up system so that certain aspects can still be taken even when at the five limit like Practitioner to Arch-Practitioner. I've fixed it as well so that slaver can still get the level up traits when they are at the limit given that hadn't been working as intended.

There are going to be 28 new aspects coming in the update. On top of that the Magic: Arcanist one that doesn't take an aspect slot has five variations and the Magic: Summoner has eight versions to take account of all the different summons they can have. I've re-flavoured them a bit to make their names more distinct. 

While some are reasonably straightforward and comparable to the old ones some are a lot more complicated. The Faith: The Laughing Trickster is appropriately tricky and the Dominant and Submissive aspects unlock some new functionality that should do a lot to make slaves, their traits, and their training more engaging.  

My aim is to get this update out by the end of the month if all goes well. 

• The No Haven Conversion

Done three of these streams now along with quite a bit of work offline. Was actually getting a bit worried how smooth things have been going. The images are all in there already which I thought would take months and seems to be all okay assuming I don't get more memory errors. Think I've done all the line breaks that I mentioned last time too.

Almost came as a relief when I spotted the issue with the variable names. Twine isn't a fan of having spaces in variable names and dang if I hadn't used quite a few of those in NH. I'm about half way through these I think. Been changing some to Objects along with improving the naming logic as I go.  

• Commissions

I thought for the Cheerleaders might be tricky finding someone to take on such a large commission, but wow I certainly didn't expect one of the turnings down to be due to them getting married in a week. Which to be fair is a totally reasonable excuse :D

While not fully confirmed I think I've got at least a reasonable sure thing now with another artist on reserve if this falls through.  Sent through all the details and references on Tuesday and after some extra clarification which I appreciated the artist is working on a sketch now. Will let you know how that goes. 

Eladaer finished the bonus harpy slave training commissions and I really like how they turned out and especially in regard to the transition between the two. They'll be included in the update after next as a new training path. 

The Asanei maid is still planned for the end of July so no news again as expected there. 

Kicked off the alternate monthly commission poll yesterday so make sure you vote on that if you've not checked it out yet.
