ITCH | MEGA | ITCH-DELUXE | MEGA-DELUXE
Reminder that this week is an SKA week so Deniis can progress more on the character artworks before.
We progress further towards the maid ending! This week, I updated the Festival of Greed event to take the Maid Full Time Job into account. Some characters will have different reactions and the various choices you had in the free time slot affect the battles.
The most important change is of course the confrontation with Arwin. Here, completing the Maid Full Time Job will now trigger a new check where Aura can succumb to her brainwashing and betray the party.
In terms of word count, the lewd event is fairly short. Instead it focuses more on special effects, in particular representing the memory manipulation. I have always wanted to use the shatter effect that I had added to the game for transformation effects in the way I did in this scene (I know this isn't exactly meaningful to read - just watch the scene :'D)
Besides that, of couse also a lot of dealing with the various side characters that are involved in the scene. I think this is also the only lewd scene that happens while other characters are in a fighting cutscene.
The only thing missing now is the epilogue for which I will need 1-2 dev weeks and the maid bad ending is fully done!
On the balancing side, a small note: I have reduced the effect of the Influential Orb on the Maid Obedience passive since that one can grow a lot in the Full Time Maid event sequence.
On the technical side, we have some behind-the-scenes work from Trihan who has parametrized various UI elements so that different languages can specificy different fonts and in particular font sizes in case they need more space.
That's it for this week! Next week (and the one after that) we will be back to Liora.
