Quick update on Rwberia Godr-0-sgwid (Artificial Scylla)
🕑 Added 2024-05-30 11:43:20 +0000 UTCI've finally managed to find my 'high gear' as I hit the final straight and work has been progressing very well on her this week.
However... it's a big scenario, bigger than any previous scenario I've added to HoHH and has a relatively complex mechanic determining Ends under the hood. In word count alone it's not far off 20K words, which is about a third or quarter of a novel in length. To put it in perspective, if I'd stuck to my original plan for HoHH of very short scenarios of 1-1.5K words, Rwberia would be 13 harlots in one.
I've already implemented her core and a few of her tentacles, so that's roughly in place. Implementing the remainder of her tentacles shouldn't take too long. I still have a couple of tentacles to finish off writing, as well the Elegant Woman and Portly Gentleman segments (those are always written after implementation so I know what hints to give the player and what to reward them for). I also need to tweak the code that determines the Ending to get the right balance between player survivals and Bad Ends.
I'm going to throw everything into getting it out at the end of tomorrow (the 31st). My gut feeling is it will spill out past that. Because of the complexity, I think I'm going to need a solid half-day or day of testing on top. So my estimate is a Jun 1st or Jun 2nd release.
To fully focus on getting it out (now that it is finally near completion), I'll be pushing the harlot spotlight I was originally planning to put out today (Sgriosar) to next week.
I'll keep you updated and thank you for your patience and understanding. You will be able to play with the artificial scylla soon!

Cheers. This scenario is a monster. I hope once it's out I'll settle back to a more regular rhythm for the other 'mini-boss' scenarios.

All good, it's better you focus on quality because it's really well written and should have execution to match. Pretty sure no one minds... the final result is worth the wait.

I'm hoping she lives up to it! First "mini-boss" and all that. I'm also hoping that with her out, the weird pressure to live up to that hype will be off, and I can rattle off the remaining "mini-bosses" a lot more efficiently!

Hype! :D
