Log inFinally logged back into SubscribeStar for the first time in months. Deleted old (and irrelevant) posts, and decided to post a new little message to let people know "Hey, I'm not dead."
Life sucks, as usual, and I'm still facing some financial struggles, but I got a roof over my head and a computer (read as: potato) that functions and connects to the internet. Still tinkering with LolT, but for future updates you should look elsewhere as I won't be posting every update here. (I'm not even the main dev on the project, and never was) though I don't know how hard it would be to find it. Currently taking a 'break' from programming seriously and just tinkering and messing about.
Latest tinkering session was in relation to Corruption of Champions /hgg/ and I'm still not quite to a point I would want to share the playable version, but here's a short list of what I've done so far:
- Changed some conditions for new 'child' player characters
- 4 new clothing items
- Added 2 new menu buttons for Tel'Adre Tailor shop (Victoria's shop)
- Changed some default settings (will not affect pre-existing saves)
- Adjusted some 'child' player character perk effects (the stat boosts/nerfs)
- Runner perk now guarantees successful escape from combat, unless something prevents escape of any kind
- Tamani scene is inaccessible for feminine child player characters (temporary way to solve the annoyance of her spawn rate being so ungodly high)
- Minor text adjustments with no effect on gameplay
- "...[the portal] is a few yards away..." -> "...[the portal] is a few (if(metric) meters | yards) away..." because REEEEEEE!
I have an older version I had modded previously, but it's only got one other thing that I haven't ported to 1.6.19 - a scene involving the Alice enemy that I wrote, but poorly. I need to rewrite it and then add it to the game properly. I do plan to add more scenes in the future, but I'm kind of shit at writing lol.
The only other thing worth mentioning in my opinion is the fact that I have started to mod CoCEd (the save editor for Corruption of Champions) to support my mod, and the current version can already add all four of the new clothing items to the save without issue. More complex adjustments will require me to figure a few things out about how CoCEd works under the hood but thankfully I do have the full source code and Jetbrains Rider, so I can take my time and figure things out. Though my priorities will primarily be working on the game, not the save editor.
Anyway, I think that's about it for the status update. I don't know how often I'll be getting on SubStar, but I'll definitely pop in when it's time to make an actual release. (Might be a few eons though lol)
