Greetings, humans! Hope you've been well :) Here's a summary of the latest progress on the game for ya!
PRINCESS PLOTS: Well, this month's poll was certainly a nail-biter! Super cool to see that you guys are interested in every Princess option. I have put some time into every Princess, though since Kiera the Bossy Princess won this round, she's been getting some extra attention (perhaps more attention than she'd like!) ;)
I'm making progress with what happens after Kiera joins the Princess club. In the next update, there will be 3-4 areas that she can Proclaim as her own (rather than just the playpen). Additionally, Proclaiming an area will actually DO stuff! For any area that Kiera has proclaimed, she will have a few effects that change how things work for her in relation to that area.. For example, if she becomes the Naproom Princess, she may find herself needing more frequent naps, and sucking her thumb in her sleep! Silly girl!~ (See pic)
Princess Kiera will have some new Adventures, based on whether she's a willing Princess, or simply dressed the part. Also, since the boys' club and Princess plots are inevitably intertwined, I've been writing more content for meeting the dudes as well.
T-SHIRT + DIAPER SPRITES: These are coming along nicely! I have some of the desperation animations finished, and a simple dry to wet accident animation. Lots to do yet, but hoping to have the wet -> soaked animation and mess animations close to finished by month's end! (See pic)
VARIABLE ACCIDENTS: You may have noticed that Kiera's accidents have less variability in the latest version. I am working hard at reintroducing (and expanding) variable accidents, that vary based on her level of potty training. Ie, at high potty training she'll do potty dances and try to hold it, while at low potty training she may not even notice she has to go until it's too late! I have been having fun with writing/spriting a couple surprise accident scenes ^^
NPC SKILLS: Making progress with Miss Laura's "Nurse" skill, Cassidy's "Change" skill, and Billie's "Tummy Poke" skill! :)
NEW CHARACTER SKILL: Well, it's about time that Kiera learned a particularly important skill, especially when stuck at daycare... She can now learn to Crawl! Kiera will have to learn this skill as part of the plot, and use it sometimes to evade detection or blend in. Or, you know.. maybe as she starts regressing more and more, it kinda just becomes her main method of transportation... (but let's not tell her about that yet!) Making all the interaction, desperation, and accident sprites for crawling in each outfit will take a while, so it will probably be a scene-specific skill for the next update. But the goal is to eventually allow her to crawl around as much as you'd like her to! (See pic)
MYSTERIOUS DOOR: The latest version hinted at someone.. or something.. guarding the mysterious hallway door. Well, there'll actually be a guard there now! They just might not be what you expect. (See pic for a hint.. can you guess who/what that is?)
..I think that's about it for now! Feel free to let me know about anything you'd like to see more development on for the next version, or if you have thoughts on any of the ideas above. Thanks for stickin' around with me and Kiera, and chat again soon! <3
