I've been working on the game non-stop the past weeks. It's actually very close to releasing the prototype demo, at last!
I finished the interactions for the 3 girls that will be dateable in the demo; that is Amy, Rouge and Cream. You can talk to a girl to learn random facts about them. As your relationship level increases, you'll be able to ask your own questions and later on get quizzed by the girl! There's the ability to also shower the girl with gifts, but there's a limit per day.
I removed the "Intimacy" option as I got a new idea of how s*xual scenes could work. Ultimately, you want to get your relationship level to 5 and higher, that is when you can hang out with that girl. Hanging out with that girl allows you to explore the island with them, and if she's aroused, then you can find spots to have intimate moments with them. And if their degeneracy is high, then you can unlock more wild scenes including asking characters to have her getting railed in front of you while you watch (this will be the cuckolding experience of the game)!
I added quite a few locations with placeholder prototype backgrounds to give you an idea of the flow of the game. One of them includes a shooting minigame where you hunt down badniks for parts and rings! Speaking of rings, you can also have Tails work online spending time and stamina in order to earn rings based on your intelligence; you can increase your intelligence by having Tails educate himself online or by crafting items, which you can do in the workbench!
Story-wise for the demo, I added quite a few new scene events and locations! There are girls that will appear but will not be dateable for now. The following weeks, I want to focus on adding a few spots in the locations where you can have fun with the girls. In the end, there's gonna be a lot of girls to date and mix and match scenes as well! Speaking of locations, now every location unlocks progressively with the story, creating a flow that easy to follow.
Functionality-wise, I was also able to add a feature so you can skip the dialogue text faster; you will be able to toggle it in the Settings screen. There is also now a notification that pops up every time there is a change in the characters' stats or your inventory. As mentioned before, now you can hang out with your girl of choice and it will be reflected in the Profile screen.
I also want to add frame-by-frame animations in the game, I made a couple and they were not as time consuming, since I am drawing the frames in target 1080p resolution and not in 4K.
As for the milestone, I'll have to move it for next month. There is still work to be done, mainly to make the demo more interesting and rich!
