Progress Sneak Peek - April 5

Hello everyone and welcome to a new sneak peek of Lucky Paradox!

First of all... I hope you had a Happy Easter :D

During this week I have been very busy fixing bugs in the new Lucky Paradox interface and the links of the Alpha version have been updated. Also a small change has been made so that, when leaving a profile image, we go back to the Social Tab instead of it closing automatically, this way it is easier to navigate between character profiles.

Changes have been made in the way shower events work, as they were generating some problems... At one end these were activated so frequently that did not allow progress in the story... Or on the other hand... Never activated. From now on it will be a fixed and daily probability of 20%, I think it is a simple solution and not so hard to get.

The old locations that needed rework have been finished (The beach, The Pier and the Library). It has taken many hours of work and some concept changes, but they have been very colorful and vivid, not to mention the change of some complex graphics such as water and scenery distribution.

Let's see how the changes have been, starting with the library:

The pier has been restructured, adding many details in the scenery that help to represent much better the fishing area and Daisy as a character. Also the place has been expanded preparing it for future events, and for the more detailed people, you can see Jenkins during the sunset (A goose that can't fly and dreams of being a seagull), standing on one of the logs that support the pier, although it is only a small detail.

The beach was not restructured but re-imagined and created from scratch. This place looked very barren in the old versions of Lucky Paradox and honestly it did not look good. Now it is a completely new place, colorful and with much more charisma. Also, some extra event dressing rooms and other nice details have been added.

For now the activities "Request a Book" in the library and "Fishing" have been disabled. They will have an improvement soon, but I'll leave this content out of the way in the meantime as from now on comes the part I consider the most important part of this update.

And now the new beginning of Lucky Paradox.

The story is being restructured and rewritten so that the first few minutes in Lucky Paradox represent the original spirit of the game much better. All item or money requirements for events will be removed, others will be merged to go faster in the gameplay, details that were deleted and help to know more details of the story will be added and a ton of images will be remastered to have better graphics, be consistent with the new environment along with some animations that have become outdated.

For now, the work is focused on Prim and I will summarize the changes that are being made so far:

• Prim's first two events will now be part of a more extended first event. This way we will be able to unlock the first interactions almost immediately.
• The four beach events will now be part of a single main story event. Previously you had to accompany Prim to the beach for four days, buy the bikini and only after that you had access to the costumes, this was a very unintuitive way to unlock this content, not to mention that it generated inconsistencies in the story. From now on buying the bikini won’t be necessary and since it is a single event, it is not necessary to spend four days to unlock everything. At the end of this main story event, the costumes, and the interaction of inviting Prim to the beach will be unlocked.
• Event five and six of the main story will be merged into one larger event.
• The prologue of the game will have a small extension, where we will be able to read the letter Anton left in the hospital before the protagonist woke up from the coma.

As for concepts... I really liked the idea of adding a working uniform. This was already added to Mary when she helps us during the jobs. I think it would be interesting to add this uniform to Prim, only with other colors... What do you guys think? Leave the answers in the comments

I want the feeling of playing Lucky Paradox when all this is completed to be a totally different experience. You won't want to play a version with the old interface or with the old locations anymore xD

And that's it for this week!

Now I'll get back to work and I hope you have a great week!
