Devlog #1 - The next update
🕑 Added 2025-03-20 21:52:38 +0000 UTCHey hey there, party people! First devlog, let’s go.
First off: wow. This first week has been insane! Y'all shared some insanely kind words and it's been really motivating, I can't wait to put out some more of Joker's Trip for YOU, the player.
Today we’re gonna talk about the latest feature I worked on for Joker’s Trip--being able to see the full bodies of the gals unobstructed! This will probably be the last notable feature I’m adding to the public demo as well. It’s something I wanted to have at launch but was left at the wayside.
Initially, I wanted to do something significantly more complicated. You tap on any given girl and it shifts the camera, hides the table and UI, moves the girl to a higher sorting order so they render above everything else, and then make UI in physical space swooce in to block the background and provide her current stats, along with info about the character themself.
Then Taylor showed up and asked why I was doing any of that if you can just see all of them at once.
You can see how many pieces of clothing they have left by Looking at them. The stats box is a click away. All information is present. And the point of the game is to get a feel for these chicks’ patterns so just Telling you their deal felt a little counterproductive. And it's clean!
So I made it easier for myself by making it just a button that hides some objects and pans out. And by doing so the update can happen sooner! Devving is funny like that.
The update will have some more to it: a bunch of bug fixes (say good bye weird artifacting crust!), more dialog, it'll be easier to see a secret Joker image, some things will be more clear, and Noriko will be there...
...Watching.
