HUD and gameplay progress (Patreon)

A dev build with the shown changes should be out in the next couple days, and then another with the AJ rig as soon as possible after that. <3
So there's the obvious visual improvements, but this also includes some of the major gameplay mechanics I've been talking about-
- Mana is now represented as the green points in the bottom left.
- You use mana points to power up the abilities to the right of the mana meter.
- The more points on the ability, the stronger its effect.
- The mask icon under the mana is your changeling disguise.
- If you succumb to sexual stimulation, you start losing focus, and mana points will start breaking.
- If all your mana is depleted, your disguise breaks and you turn back into a changeling. You have to flee with whatever love you've gathered, and try to beat the round again later.
- The slanty blue boxes at the top show your focus.
- Focus is a rechargeable shield against stimulation.
- It recharges slower and slower as you approach orgasm.
- The yellow bars are uterus and stomach capacity meters.
- The green bar is the orgasm meter.
- Randomly clicking things is totally a viable strategy :3
Also the stuff on the right is still ugly >.<
The biggest positive to me is that each of the meters and abilities have a function, and when I change any of the numbers on them, it has a super obvious effect on the game. Before, everything was kind of a murky mess, and it wasn't super clear what was going on. Progress!
It's not quite as glamorous as new art and new animations, but I feel like this project is moving along really well. There actually aren't too many big coding tasks left to do on Love Collector! The gameplay/UI stuff was one of the bigger things, so it's super exciting to have that up and running.
Thank you all so much for supporting me so far! I can't express how much I appreciate everything my patrons are doing for me. Love Collector is just the first of a whole lot of naughty cloppy games I want to give back to the community as thanks for your support.
<3 to all y'all weirdos
