Dev Diary #1: The Brothel (part 1)
🕑 Added 2020-06-26 10:44:32 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
As I promised earlier this month, I'm gonna give you a first look at the brothel stuff in the game.
Before that, I'd like to mention one thing that seemed to have worried some of you:
The Brothel will NOT replace the sex-based fights. It's just another gameplay element.
Another thing I've already mention but it doesnt hurt to say it again: those previews are currently mainly done on the programming side. The whole UI is filled with place holders. The UI will be worked on once everything has been coded, so don't fret if you find things "ugly" it's normal.
Now we can start!
The first thing you have to know about the brothel is that there will be different possibilities about it. You'll have different options when opening the menu. And of course, what we're currently working on is the biggest part: the female side of things.
How will it work?
This is basically the "main" screen.
On the left side you'll have the girls and on the right side you'll have the guys. There's a total of 5 slots. When a girl slot is open, it automatically opens it for the guy in front of her.
Basically things are simple as hell: you select the girl you want in the desired slot and you let her have sex during the night. The night session is automatic. The only thing you have to do is select the girl you want.
When you click inside an empty slot, you open the girl selection screen. Each unlocked girl will appear and hovering her will show a bunch of informations. I will cover the "data" part in the next dev post because there's quite a lot to tell about them.
Once you've selected your girl, she'll fill the empty slot automatically like that:
Things will look much better in the end, but that's more or less the idea. Once you have selected your girl, you'll just have to click on a "start working" button and everything will be automatic.
The only stat I'm going to mention today is the stamina. Basically one stamina point = one customer. So here, if Kaya has 3 stamina points, it means she'll have sex with 3 customers before being exhausted and stopping her work.
Once a night is over, you gain money that will serve you on different other parts of the game. There's much more to say about it, but I'll go progressively through different posts.
As the game will progress, the girls will get experience and get better and you'll be able to open more and more slots until the 5 are all open.
One very last important thing to mention: The Brothel is a mini-game. As such all the stats inside the brothel remain in the brothel. Kaya leveling up her global rank or her fighting level will have no indicence on the brothel stats and vice-versa. Just thought it was important to mention it at some point.
That's all for now. In the next post, I'll go deeper into the whole meaning of stats etc... And in later posts, we'll see what other possibilities the brothel will offer.
See ya o/

Thanks for the link, Lee. Unfortunately, RPG Maker MV isn't allowing such levels of customizations for the borders. Hime checked out and the only thing we can do is totally remove the frame (which isn't a good idea since it would deprive the player from seeing which version he is playing. @romeck For the sound bug, I don't have that on my side. But tbh I never changed the sound setting through the options. I'll take a look into it.

thanks Lee , that was it though W10 do not allow me to set it to almose black couse "its not supported" :) PS: Ark. Is it only me or sound settings are broken, each time i tune down music in settings after few scenes ingame it goes to default altough its still lowered in settings. also quit game reset it to default.

@romeck that's a Windows 10 thing for the most part, it's the windows "title bar". It actually can have two colors (active and inactive) but Windows 10 hides the inactive setting. Anyway under Settings->Personalization->Colors the accent color can apply to the title bar (scroll down the center pane, it's the last option). (to change inactive color requires some tweaking: https://winaero.com/blog/change-color-of-inactive-title-bars-in-windows-10/ )

Oh, you mean on W10? On my side it's dark transparent (since I still use W7). I'm gonna check if it's possible to change that (though I have no idea if it's possible...)
romeck
ahh i was to ask you. is it possible for you to change colour of application(game) window top bar(all your games :) ). Its white in all your games and since i presume many play at night/dark room its very annoying couse of its brightness.

That's one of the plans, yeah. But to be honest I haven't come up with a global vision for those cause it's trickier than it looks. Mainly due to the guys. There are different possible approaches and I have yet to ponder which one is the best. Especially considering all the other elements that will constitute the brothel. You'll see when I'll reveal more about it :p
Are there going to be sex scenes when they work?
