3rd Dev Diary, Girlroom, status, animations and Stats.
🕑 Added 2021-12-20 17:28:50 +0000 UTCHi everyone and welcome back for HIGA new Christmas Holiday dev diary.
Sorry for keeping you waiting, I had to redraw all the animations I previously drew because they did not satisfy me anymore. The new ones are better, but still they're still far away from being "good".
Aye, Today, I will present the Girlroom “scene” as well as the “Intercourses Animations” and explain in details the "Stats".
Put it simply, the "Girlroom" is the place you need to go to check up on your girls. There, you will be able to check the equipped DNA mods and Drugs, check what kind of traits the girl has, her experiences, preferences, menstruation cycle, pregnancy status and peek on her during the night.
So, as you see, on the left part of the screen you'll be able to see in details the girl's name, her school year(SY), her height(H) her weight(W) her morphology(M) and her breast size(BS) as well as her stats.
And her DNA, Drug, and Traits on the 1st tab on the right. Note that the SY, the W and the BZ are dynamic and will change with the girl and we will explain the stats later on this post when presenting the "Stats".
On the 2nd tab you can see a hexagonal shaped diagram showing the girl's proficiencies per act. Depending on her trait she might start with more experience or very little.
The bottom part of the tab shows you a recap of all the acts she performed. The more she practises the more her proficiencies will grow.
On the 3rd tab you'll find the girl's menstruation cycle if she has one as well as several numbers and totals.
Then, when the TimeOfDay is set on "Night", you will be able to take a peek on the girl's activities if she's having any.
For testing purposes you will see the animations even if the girl hasn't any clients but it will change later on. The girl's model is dynamic and will be updated depending on the girl's morphology, her breasts size, her pregnancy status and her hair and eye colours.
At the moment, you will be able to switch between only 4 acts and the girl model is fixed but I will code everything to make it dynamic once I'm back from my Christmas and New Year holidays and draw new sprites to make new animations.
Drawing and animating each scene in 2D takes a lot of time and I'm considering using some 3D environments and models. Drawing them will take more time up front but later on models could be directly updated in game and animations will be much easier as I will not need to redraw everything. I will decide later on.
Now then, let's talk about the "Stats".
Each girl has 7 stats. 6 public and 1 private. The public stats are known by the player but the private stat is hidden.
Here's the list of the public stats.
- Stamina
- Happiness
- IQ
- Charm
- Submission
- Lust
and the only private stat is the girl's "Pregnancy Discovery Chance"
When starting a new game the only stat at 100 will be the girl's stamina. All the other stats will be generated randomly depending on traits and school year. For example a girl with the "Charming" trait will have a bonus on her "Charm" stat. On the other hand, a girl with the "Innocent" trait will tend to easily forget stuff...
- The Stamina is pretty obvious, the more she works, the more her stamina depletes. If it depletes too low she could get sick or even die resulting in a game over.
- Happiness is pretty obvious as well. It shows whether the girl is happy to be here or not. In the worst case scenario she could leave the academy leaving you facing the board and the PTA.
- The IQ determines the girl's results in the academy. A girl with bad IQ grades for a long period of time might fail her yearly tests, resulting in problems with the academy reputation and therefore your wage and competence as a manager.
- The Charm determines the attractiveness of the girl and therefore the cost of her services.
- The Submission determines whether the girl tends to accept what clients or you decide. A girl with a low submission will refuse to work and cause problems with the board and the PTA.
- The Lust. A girl with a high Lust level will see her stamina depletion reduced but some clients might not like it.
- And finally the Pregnancy Discovery Chance. It is fixed at the start but will vary depending on traits, school year and menstruation cycle.
To conclude a small screenshot of the Girlroom in 3D made with Blender. It has no materials yet but could replace the 2D sprites and allow 3D models.
I hope you enjoy reading this dev diary and wish you a Happy Christmas and a brilliant New Year eve and will see you next year.
