Dev Diary #219: Holey Street
Hello everyone, this is going to be a bit of a short and sweet one. I've been working to add some new content to sexwork jobs, which means the gloryhole and the dimly lit street. It's been a while since I last touched those two locations and it was more than time for me to give them some attention.
So let's start with the gloryhole. A lot of players wanted to see some "bad stuff", mostly centered around being found out, while others just wanted an option to wait when no one showed up so... why not both? I added a new minor mechanic called risk to the gloryhole. When you enter it, the risk will be non-existent, but each time you wait, you will gradually increase it, leading to the "badstuff" event. Serving a client won't lower risk either, so you'll have to choose what you will do in order to maximize things.
Now, for the Dimly Lit Street, I have added a new branching event for the reputation system, continuing that small storyline. The results (and options) available will vary a little in function of the stats and items of the Player. It was honestly pretty fun to work on this and I have some ideas of how to continue this story line in the future too, so expect me to put some extra work there at some point!
Overall, it was not my most productive week, but I do expect to have a whole lot more to talk about next week, so stay tuned!
