[1.20] Rapid prototyping
Hey guys! Work on episode 1.20, "White Russian", is going well.
This episode is a lot less complex than the last one. It's a side quest featuring Kate's (optional) date with Kolya, the broody Russian guy she met in the skybar in the early part of Girls' Night Out.
It's fully plotted, and I'm currently building a prototype version in the game engine. About the first half of the episode is now playable, and some of our lovely testers have given useful feedback on how to improve the scenes.
This week, my main effort will be continuing to build the prototype. 5 out of 11 scenes are currently working in the engine (some with placeholder text that needs punching up, and no artwork is yet implemented). I'll get as much done as I can and report back in a week.
It seems like that Kate at some point will be incourage to take money for things. It could start as allowing more grouping or sitting/wiggling on a lap when serving. Eventually Miss Nim may ask her to do something to collect money and the client will tip her depends on action.
I can see the Russian treating Kate as another bar girl and paying her for the date.
