Hello friends! How are you doing?
It's been a month since the previous update, where I told you that a Godot version was in development. The game has changed a lot so here are some details.
> Gameplay changes
I am working with Sherbert on some gameplay changes. In the currently released version, the gameplay is pretty rudimentary, and doesn't allow for a lot of skill improvement, resulting in the game feeling boring at times. We have implemented 2 gameplay elements that require attention simultaneously. Theese changes make the game more interesting but maintain the concept of using a phone to capture clothes.
> Scoring system
The time limit in the previous version was unnecessary, since whether you ran out of time didn't depend on your skill but rather the luck of how much time the girl spent looking at you. Now stars will be deducted based on the total amnount the alert bar increases during a run, causing score to be more reflective of reaction time and skill.
> What's next?
In addition to adding new characters sporadically, we plan to implement some interesting things for future versions. Among them, we plan to add some special outfits that are unlocked only by getting 5 stars with each girl. More details coming soon!
> So, where is the game?
The game preview is ready to be played, both in web and desktop versions.
Both versions are HERE
It is also uploaded as an attachment to this post.
Note: Since this build is made with other game engine, all previous progress are lost. Sorry :(
How to play:
Use the phone to try to focus on the girl's clothes.
You must place the large circle over the white dot that indicates the active piece of clothing, while moving the dial to center it in the green area on the phone screen.
When the green bar on the phone screen fills, you will remove a piece of clothing.
If the girl looks at you, try to put the phone down quickly, or the alert will start (the red bar). If the red bar fills, you lose.
Controls:
Press spacebar or up/down arrows to toggle phone use.
Use A/D, Left/Right arrow or Left/right mouse button to move the focus dial.
Move the mouse to overlap the focus circle on the corresponding piece of clothing.
Well, that's all at the moment!
Try it and tell us what do you think!
See you in the next post!
