[FA1.10] Week 1 report

Hey guys! We made good progress this week.
Writing. The next version has three paths (based on social class) and two new scenes in each. They’re all already storyboarded, so the task now is converting the storyboards into actual screens in the game. We completed one path and two scenes (to first draft standard), which means we’ve completed 33% of the month’s writing target by the 5th! I was pretty pleased with the new scenes when I tested them tonight; I think they’re sexy and I hope you’ll like them.
Artwork. Avatar clothes are much faster to produce now. It feels like there are already as many avatar outfits in this version as there were in 1.6!
This week Victoria started work on new avatar clothes for 1.10, and we also made some progress on introducing new skin tones.
Code. Hyneman and Lara tackled a bunch of code tasks this week – some under-the-hood, but also a few UI improvements you’ll notice, including new code to add pleasingly elegant location photos to the text, and code that boosts the avatar’s height when the heroine wears high heels.
Okay, it’s 2030 on Saturday and I’m frazzled! I’m going to take tomorrow off for adulting and R&R, but I’ll be back in writing mode on Monday morning. Have a greta weekend, everybody, and I’ll see you next week!
