Just curious, how long are you planning? And did it have anything to do with the new sex "wrestling" system you were trying to setup?

:S

Oh man, how could you miss the joke opportunity! This thread could've been "Development Arrested"! Imagine the breadcrumbs:<blockquote>Main » Arrested Development » Development Arrested?</blockquote>But nooo...

As I wrote on the tumblr, I expect to get over this slump when my keyboard is fixed. Not having a down arrow sucks all the cocks.

Yes, the thing I was working on when I temporarily lost motivation was indeed the new sex system. Here's what I have so far:



Which is all handled by ActionList and the new SexManager. Yesterday when I tried to push myself into working, I tried to convert the structure up the top of that file into a separate data file, but that didn't work out right yet.

You can see in the screenshot that the status panel shows the actions chosen by both participants for now, instead of the planned prose snippets: I pinned down the target, who then waited. I kiss, they struggle. Struggling, as you can see in the .cs file, rolls their Strength against mine, and the target's pretty strong so every time the game decides to struggle, they win. There should probably be more possible actions. Also you can't walk away if you're pinned down somehow.

I don't just program Noxico...

I managed to convert the entire set so far to XML. Now to get SexManager to load it.

Very nice! I do intend to add a 'pinned down' feature for mine as well. Right now I have a funny bug in the latest version where you can be in the middle of sex-acts and the NPC will walk away, and you will still have the menu available. (meaning you can continue having sex with them while they are 10 tiles away... LOL)

And honestly, from peeking at your code regarding your sex manager, and the one I made myself, I've found it to be one of the hardest parts of the code to make. Mine still is nowhere close to being finished. But being Erotical-roguelikes this should have been expected. Heavy emphasize on sex-based stuff, although lots of other games sex systems are rather bland simple.

Keep up the good work my friend! I'm glad you haven't given up despite a few setbacks in your project.

P.S. - Half of my keyboard is broken as well. hahaha so I feel your pain! (I can still use the keys, but they are either SUPER sensitive, or you need to PRESS DOWN HARD to get it to input)

You mean like when you try to run Noxico on a recent Mac?

This is kinda a necro, but I recommend you find an original IBM PC keyboard (Model M). Haven't had a problem with it yet and it feels like an electric typewriter.

Not a necro if it's on the very top of the thread list. And I speak of my laptop's keyboard, a detail mentioned on the tumblr.

It's funny we talk about keyboards breaking because just this weekend, I lost my [i] on my keyboard!!!

https://www.dropbox.com/s/rt9iw4snafcc7wc/2013-09-05%2001.06.59.jpg

I can still type using it, but it's a pain in the ass. I'm thinking about buying a new keyboard and using a USB to plug it into my laptop. You might want to look at the same choice.

See, you can just replace the cap. Cannibalize one from another board, maybe. For me, I have to replace the entire board. Also, yours is a literal pain in the fingers.

Good news everyone! The replacement part is finally here. I'll have it installed this weekend, probably Friday morning.
