Hello Citizens,
As promised, we keep adding new content & features until v 1.0.
Temporary Status Effects
Apart from the permanent boosters from personality and mood based boosters from motivation,stress etc.. we are adding item based temporary boosters and effects to the game. Some of these effects are conditional.
We implemented additional effects to 4 food items:
- Omelette gives additional hunger for 2 hours if consumed in the morning (between 6AM 12 PM)
- Classic Breakfast gives additional 5 motivation if consumed in the morning
- Ham and Cheese sandwich gives additional 10 energy if consumed in the afternoon (between 12PM 6PM)
- Steak with Mushroom gives 25% boosts to all interest gains if consumed in the evening (between 6PM and midnight)
We want to implement more content of this type in the following weeks. Let us know what you think.
We are also working on the visualisation of these effects on the new UI to come. We're not doing much for the old (current) UI anymore.
Improvements to Schedule System
- NPCs can be found in more than 2 localtions within the same day
- Friendship quests might have an outcome of changing the schedules of NPCs
- Some changes to the schedules of some shops and NPCs
Bug Fixes
- We fixed a rare bug causing the game to disable schedule system (thefore NPCs were not appearing and building doors were missing)
UPCOMING WEEKS
We are working on the wearable items in the game and also adding some animations around the city. We were aiming to finish wearables this week but it is left to next week.
Addictions to coffee, sweets and alcohol are on their way next week as well.
A new mechanic for romance is coming. Similar to chatting with NPC, flirting will be an option for some NPCs)
As always, I need to mention:
We decided to have a full redesign of the UI. That's a lot of work, therefore mouse implementation will come with that UI update.
We are aiming for 3 major updates this year. More info about those major updates will be shared soon.
Let us know what you think and what you want to see more in the game.
Have a nice weekend!
