Update - The dating system is working! (Patreon)
Content
Huge progress this week! I've cracked the problems I was having making the dating system work and in the process I've learned a lot about programming in VNM. I'm confident going forward that I'll be able to make quite swift progress on coding the game in the future, but more importantly the dating system is working now! The video should give you an idea of what it's like.
Basically, there were some things that weren't working that I've fixed, but I also redesigned the gameplay to just flow better. I've pretty much been coding it all week in my game dev time. I mostly need to make content now; not that I haven't already made a lot - I have - there's a number of scenes I need to make, like the ladies waking up Shuji in the morning, which are necessary to explain what's happening.
As development progresses now, I'll be in a position to mostly just work on adding scenes to the game. I've got a huge amount planned - new characters, challenges and situations - and now I can start to roll things out.
I will note that nothing in the video is final - everything's subject to change and revision. But what do you think? Let me know in the comments or on Discord!
