Dev Notes

Hello everyone!

Another WIP build is posted.  Making a new entry as I want to discuss more things related to the game.  So far it seems that I may have figured out how to keep saves moving forward from breaking the newly added content in future builds; however, to do so it requires a bit of foresight which conflicts with the current dev cycle that I've established so far.  

I would need to plan out all the character moves that they gain through leveling up, include dummy data for enemies yet to be added to the game, and plot out the general committed roadmap till a point where saves would essentially be stable until it went past that point.  Other games have solved this by including saves like I have been doing when new builds release; however, I would think that most people enjoy using their own saves.  So far there isn't much content you'll be missing out by not carrying over specific choices like saving maids or if you've lost a lot so these fresh saves simply get you to the new content faster.  

As it stands, this game and content kind of just keeps going as there are plenty of fetishes and perils yet to be touched upon.  I'm wondering if I should hit a point where the game is considered 'finished' in terms of the initial full release but still continue adding content to it.  With all the potential content that could be added it is difficult to determine when that should be.

TLDR: Save bug will remain unless I actually plan out what future content will be ahead of time and stick to an actual roadmap.

Future Plans

In determining how to really move forward there is sort of a general state of things question I'm interested in hearing a bit of feedback on.  Currently we're pushing forward getting the Battle Sprites for the Spider Girl Cave done.  There is still a mini boss and boss sprites planned for this area bringing the total amount of new enemies to 6.  Afterwards we could continue moving forward on some of the planned areas or return to the previous zones and change them from the stand in assets and create actual maps and story progression similar to the Forest Path.  The current planned areas are as follows:

-On World Map Event: A new shiny will appear after a certain point in the game.  Investigating it will lead to an area filled with machines/brainwash/corruption/bondage.

-Desert Area: An area between accessing the Khrono Tomb which focuses on various desert threats.  Bondage/Hypnosis/soft vore/quicksand

-???: An area that is unlocked using unusual means.  Largely focuses on Yuri/Bondage.

Beyond those areas include the Academy which Rin is currently blocking the path to due to a monster swarm, the coastal city, and the obligatory beach episode and/or hot spring area.  Those would mostly revolve around a mix of map events and battle encounters leading to various things than a dungeon.

Story has kind of taken a back seat as I've focused on a lot of 'fluff' in the form of battle sprites.  The manor restoration was a potential addition that would unlock various small image events that would relate back to maids you've saved and perils you've encountered following you back to your dwelling.  It will most likely remain in a more WIP state as I'm not sure if people would be interested in such side content when the main game is still such a Work in Progress.

Super TLDR:  Should we continue moving forward with reckless abandon?  Return to previous areas and flesh them out more with story and map completion?  

If you've actually managed to read this far, thank you very much for taking the time to read bout the development of Mira Co Rescue.  As a solo developer I great appreciate any feedback and comments that people leave, so feel free to just say 'hi' if you've made it this far.

NOTE ABOUT SAVE DATA

I've included 2 saves with this build.  We investigated the save data carrying over bug that invalidates any old saves and found that it is tied to the actor data and battle sprite programming.  The two saves should work for this portion of the WIP build for the Spider Girl Cave; however, afterwards the bug will return. 

Save 4 is right after the Slime Queen

Save 5 is right after the boss for Emma's Garden (Use if you want to quickly access the Spider Girl Cave for the new enemy)

Bug Fixes

-With the help of Stiltzkinator we were able to fix the TP bug not filling at the beginning of battle.

-Altered some code so the snake fight (and silk worm) starts with characters naked.
