SHOP UPDATE - v0.6.10 Patreon build

Hey everybody,

Update day! Login now to the Blacked & Whited website to play the v0.6.10! Dont forget to clear your cache if you still get the old version! 

Some news today with the release of a new update ! Today we got a mainly technical update, and two great new features have been completed: the shopping system and the expression system. Also, the development of the major asynchronous system for the phone is progressing well and should be completed by the end of August (v0.6.9 update note for more information). I'm concentrating most of my time on this async system because many future scenes need it! 

In terms of content, this update adds two new locations and a first store with 13 new clothes, plus a new mission for the bully. Without any difficulty, this mission will make you discover more about the organization of the B&W city, and also lays the script bases for chapter 2 :)

New systems in detail:

Shop System

I've been working on it for some time, and it's now finished! It is both a generic and modular system, making possible to quickly set up new stores while allowing for customization of the store design. This update also brings with it an improvement in the inventory system: I can now manage more finely the interactions between each bag. I can prevent you from putting items from the store directly into your bag (even though it would be a good idea to be able to steal the items...)

For the release of this new system, a new location appears in B&W: the mall. The will welcome without surprise most of the shops that will be integrated in the game. A first clothing store has been added: the fashion stud'. Each shop will have its own particular and recognizable style (logo, design, atmosphere).

Last point: storage. With the addition of 13 new items, the wardrobe and the bag can quickly be complete. There will soon be a store where you can buy a bigger wardrobe, but in the meantime I added a storage area under your bed. You can now stuff your old clothes and items that are no longer needed at the moment!

The next step is to create clothing 'collections'. Much like in an RPG, completing and wearing a complete collection will bring bonuses, such as a femininity/masculinity bonus, or unlocking specific actions in the game, such as a geek style that will unlock the flirting with a geekette at the astronomy club.

Facial Expression System

In written conversation, I find that the lack of expression of the characters (embodied in her photo) hinders immersion. When a character is angry and his avatar shows a smiling image, a kind of dissonance between the two information is possible. The new expression system will correct this. It allows to modify a character's picture according to his emotions!

At the moment this system is only used very briefly with the saleswoman of the new store. The next step is to set up a database. Each character will have a basis of expression (anger, smile, embarrassment, excitement...) and the second step is to extend this new system to the whole game!

Next

The next update will focus on adding scenes for the main story with several scenes in preparation. I will continue to develop the asynchronous system for the phone and start building a database for the expression system.

I hope you will enjoy the shop system. Feel free to give me your feedback on it and how to improve it! Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for reading so far, and thank you again for your many messages of encouragement, for your good ideas and for your strong support!

Voilà!
