Repeated intro
Hello everyone, Some of you might think the project is abandoned or something.. but it's not. Last summer I refactorized the entire game. Since then I started adding new content. I won't show everything now because I (hopefully) will release another devlog and the demo/Prologue in February.
What changed
- Gameplay
- UI and audio
- Store
- Balance
Here is a short list with what the features I already added or are work in progress:
Let's start with the "Renovation" part:
Breakable furniture like benches and metal cabinets
Paintable walls - choose what paint to use either from the paint buckets or from UI
Floors and ceilings have a texture for now, but later will replace it with a proper wooden floor model or something
Trash - can be collected, as the broken parts from furniture, and earn some money when putting in the trash bin
Now regarding the shop:
Buy fruniture like shelves and place them inside the shop from the laptop
Place objects either on walls (ex paintings) or on the shelves
Receive customers - not all customers who enter the shop will buy an item or items
Meet customers at the checkout:
- if they want to buy something, take the money and give change (if any)
- if they want to sell something, inspect the item and if you decide to buy it, pay them
As you know, the game has a deposit auctions part:
Now all NPCs can talk using different voices and can do it dynamically, depending on the current bid
The items inside the deposits are now based on your level (you won't find Mona Lisa inside a 5$ deposit :D ). And the starting price of the deposit is based on the value of the deposit (there's a chance to start at 5-30% of the value)
You can go to an auction by using the laptop, where you will also pay a small fee.
Now for the work in progress features:
Online auctions (for items, not deposits)
Dirty objects restoration (working for coins already, but I want to add different items too)
Broken objects restoration
Online shop for used parts (needed to repair broken objects)
Online market to sell objects
All the items or furniture bought online will arrive in boxes.
