Liora's Price of Dignity 0.7.0-prerelease-4

ITCH | MEGA | ITCH-DELUXE | MEGA-DELUXE

Since I finished my plans for SKA, I was able to put a bit of extra time in Liora. I didn't focus on content development and mostly focused on working down my list of content improvements and bugfixes.

On the negotiation side, I finished the battle negotiation upgrade I started... two weeks ago? Who knows, it feels like an eternity. The last time the main use case I wanted to cover was situations such as "Edgar shall throw a Web Bomb on FLYING enemies" so you can contract him to only use a move to counter enemies when said enemies to be countered are part of the combat.

The extension this week has a similar idea but for moves that target Edgar himself (Guard, Protect, Item Consumption, etc.). So for example, you can have Edgar only use Protect in a turn if an enemy is woundup and thus ready to unleash a big Martial. Or maybe you want to have him Guard on Turn 2 but only against such enemies.

For now this covers the upgrade to the combat side of negotiations. I'm not yet sure if I want to further expand it with more trigger conditions or enemy filters, although I could imagine it. The way it's setup now, it's faily easy to expand by adding new target types (current target types are Enemy Type and Enemy State, but could also be Enemy Count or something like that). It's also worth thinking about different triggers maybe like dropping below some HP threshold, but I wonder if that might make the system too complicated...

Originally I conceptualized the system to basically allow adding any kind of restrictions, then I realized that was way too complicated and some restrictions (like enemy typings) are context sensitive in their interpretation, so you can't just split them up cleanly into trigger / effect / restriction without a lot of headaches. Now I have gone back and expanded the system where necessary and by baking the targeting restriction into the effect, it's easier to interpret as it's done in tandem with the effect execution.

Anways, for 0.7.0 this should be enough on the negotiation side, I don't want to spend too much time working on features that aren't useful, so we should maybe let it rest for a bit now.

Moving on, we have more voice acting, as I mentioned in a previous post!

And then it's mostly bunch of small things. You can find a new book in the second mine area, Scam Records can also be turned in for little value to Edgar if you don't have the time to decode them. There are a bunch of minor fixes and improvements regarding Edgar and item usages. Apparantly I forgot to implement a generalized behavior for enchanting his items, so he only did a hard coded check on enchanting regular bombs and nothing else...

On the dungeon side, Darklake has received its mini area changes. Since the area is very difficult, I mostly kept the changes rather tame.

And then it's mostly bugfixes. I was hoping I could also announce the addition of the anal option for sex but the CG is still in progress... I am starting to worry about our CG progress. It's become really bad. The original delivery estimate was 5th of July. And since then it's been "tomorrow" or "next sunday" every day. Our artist said they would finish today as well, but for once I don't want to work until early morning so I'm doing the release now. I'm really not sure what to do...
