BEW Forum

Created a Dev progress channel on Discord where I can quickly show progress images or related info. Not intended to replace the forum but will not have much duplicate info.

Oh, so you're a hooker?

PHP jokes ...

Yeah, but I only keep the big ones.

Fishing jokes ...

Your asking a very unique sample for an opinion. These are folks who have hung around how long waiting for progress in the game. This is not going to be your average player once the game gets up and running. So please be cautious when drawing conclusions from these results. You may find valuable in...

So, against my better judgement, I've been thinking again. Is there any interest for a summary screen at the end of each scene? What I'm thinking of is a screen that would show up at the end of a scene and show the current path, a list of found and missing activities and/or knowledge gates, maybe a ...

As long as we don't get back to how many times Brad blinks in the taxi, I'm fine.

It's not how many times he blinks....it's if his hand is in the Goldilocks zone.

Would your first play through the game give you limited options, and then after completing the game to a certain point (representing knowledge learned) would new options appear at choice points? This would be the method, but it wouldn't be as hard hitting as it seems for current experienced players...

So, this is like Brad plays through the game and at the end, in addition to whatever the ending is, he finds a time machine pre-programmed to take him back to Day 1 with the message - "It could have been so, so different if only you had known... :D ". Haha, maybe. Perhaps a better way to ...

Rather then try to control the flow of the game path by each answer would it be possible to randomize some of the reactions to the players choices. It would be possible and I've thought of this. There are some areas of the game where this might work out, but there can be so much frustration involve...

But at least you can say you should know more about them after a month than you do after a week. Yeah, that's kind of what's behind my thought process. It might just be me, but there have been times in my life, especially when I was younger, when I took a safer route and missed some fun opportuniti...

As I'm reworking the interface and logic of the game into the new engine, I've been thinking about the overall game flow and gameplay. One of the problems with the current format is that for the "Elite" and "Corruption" paths, there is a lot of knowledge needed about the women th...

I also added a new layer of anti-spam protection. We'll see how it works... (fingers crossed)

Right now I'm working primarily on game logic. The primary reason for that is for the animations and importing from DAZ to Unreal is currently bugged, but should be resolved in the 4.26 version of Unreal. The 4.26 previews are out but a couple critical plugins that I use haven't been updated yet. Th...

There will be some differences. The intro is being rewritten a bit although it will be fundamentally the same. The Wednesday office will also be expanded a little and it's likely that all the writing will get a bit of a polishing pass as we go. The game logic will also be rebalanced. Replaying shoul...

I didn't know of your original plan vs what it became, but your original plan seemed great and exciting: doing the simplest paths to understand how to achieve the elite paths... The original plan is still the current plan, although it has evolved a bit, but at the root of it, the plan is the same. ...
