SA: The game. Dev Diary 013 (Summary) (Patreon)

Hello, folks! Sabu is back after two months, and he’s got some more going on with Dev Diary 13!

Sabu’s getting back into the swing with his programming chops, and rather than visual stuff that he can show us, the progress made this month has mostly been ‘under the hood’, so to speak, as Sabu dives back into the code of the game, fixing what’s broke and implementing new features as he goes.

Back to the booths this month, the tutorial icon for the power girl booth has disappeared, because now we have a pause screen (accessed pressing "space") for info and command lists, which is now accessed by the ‘C’ key while in the pause screen. This bigger screen provides more information and brings in the new mechanics of the game which Sabu added in the latest build.

In the booth itself, we’ve got a few improvements to the visuals here, such as a black pad being added behind the client to make things easier to see, as well as shifting some colors around in that area of the screen. 

On the top side, you can also now see how much influence and cash were made per client, as well as a summary of how much you made during a session in the booth. Some new bars were added to replace the client counter: a Stamina bar and the Multipliers. Stamina shows how much longer you can use the subject to make money, while the cash and influence multipliers increase the bonus you get to the subjects. Both cash and influence will help you unlock new parts of the game, so you want to get as much as possible, and are increased by making the client happy. If you don’t fulfil their requests, however, the payout will be less than normal, or even with penalties such as decreasing the multipliers.

When the client starts, in addition to the whip you got a new toy to use; the ‘hand massager’ vibrator! Just like the whip, the vibrator helps you finish off the client quicker. Many of these aspects of the booth gameplay will be upgradeable, 

There’s a pink bar on the side of the booth, which is something of a secret Sabu is going to show off later, but for now all it does is fill up but otherwise do nothing else.

With Korra’s booth specifically, there’s more stuff to look at now! Sabu’s been integrating the code better to make it easier to add more character, and Korra’s now got all the toys and gear that Power Girl does. Now she’s available for more than just the ‘initial’ speed animation, has toys, and is almost as functional as Power Girl is, since there’s a few bits and pieces still not animated (such as her hair at higher speeds).

Thanks for all the support guys, we’re looking forward to showing you more cool stuff next month!
