Progress Log: Breeders

Hey Folks,

Development of Breed Laboratory is currently on hold, as the entire month of April was dedicated to Breeders. This shift has been quite refreshing, sometimes, taking a break can be necessary.

The plan for the coming month is to continue developing Breeders. The goal is to release a Proof of Concept demo as soon as some of the key features are ready. This demo will primarily showcase the general atmosphere and the turn-based battle system of the game.

If all goes according to plan, the month of May should provide enough time to complete and release the first build of the game.

Now, let's talk about what has been accomplished so far: 

(Note: Everything is currently heavily in development, the visuals will most likely be changed and polished)

You can walk out into the corridor outside of your apartment:

Our sparring partner is all set up and ready to assist in refining the basics of the battle system:

The Goblin

Animations for combat and H-animations + Spell effects

(Note: The UI is there in order work on it's functionality, it's visuals and placements will be changed in the future)

Some UI additions on picking up items

Now, the basics of the battle system explained in more detail:

Your basic attributes: Willpower, Mana, Lust

Enemies actions can drain your willpower or raise your lust which have a negative effect on your resilience, making your more vulnerable to H-Attacks.

Your Resilience is an important stat which calculates your chances on the following aspects:

• Chance on getting knocked down on a basic enemy attack

• Chance on make an successful attempt to escape a grab/hold on you

• Chance to skip a turn when an enemy does an h-attack, giving the enemy the opportunity to make a follow up H-Attack

Your set of actions may differ based the state you are in.

In order to avoid common turn based problems, the enemy does not go back to his position when doing an h-attack. He has an "Idle-H-Animation" on your turn and another attack H-Animation on his turn. (The Idle-H scene does not do any damage so you don't need to act fast).

Some things are planned to make decisions on your actions more interesting:

• Enemy climax has a positive effect: It replenishes your mana

• Enemy can only climax a certain number of times, after the enemy is "empty" the battle counts as a win

Further things are planned in this regard, but more information later :>

The Game Over condition is similar to Breed Laboratory: On every climax, you take an unrecoverable Willpower drain. If it reaches it's maximum value, it's Game Over.

A lot of things still need to be done and added but the motivation to keep going is quite high :>

That's it for now
