Bito's Box Bash - 'Perfect Match' Mini-game WIP (Patreon)
Content
While working on the other BoxBash Minigame for more 'active activities' I wanted to make a mini game for more passive bonding moments. The kind of stuff like casually hanging out, existing in the same space. Just enjoying each others company while occasionally tossing flirty comments or letting a hand stray.
You might be watching a movie together, or hanging out in the pool, or doing some food prep work, or just cuddling up in bed doing nothing at all.
I wanted a mini-game that you could play at your own pace, without a win or loose state. A match-three game seemed perfect for that. You can rotate groups of 4 boxes to make connections, and as you do it fills up meters. When those meters fill, you gain a credit to do an action. It's over when you decide it's time to get up and be productive, or the actions make the scene less casual.
The different symbols represent different actions, though colors and symbols are subject to change.
Green - Casual Conversation
Pink - Flirty Conversation
Blue - Cuddly Action (Kissing, Cuddling)
Orange - Lewd Action (Touch, Showing Off, Grinding)
Dark Purple - Change Action (Will change tasks or poses in a more dramatic way)
I still need to integrate it into the conversation engine, but I already have groundwork for that from the BoxBash code so it should not take long to get that working. I also need to adjust the algorithm for dropping tiles to give out the dark purple tiles on rare occasion, and maybe make it not drop full lines as often. But other than that this more is more or less up and working.
I'm still working on the other BoxBash mini-game, I just had to rework some of my design for it so that's taking a bit longer to get up and working in a way I'm happy with. But that is going well overall too.
