Esoteric Update #158 - Doctor, My Everything Hurts

Esoteric ♥ Esoterica
A downloadable game for Windows

Today's update is going to be very short. The thing is, I was at the doctor yesterday. Unplanned visit as I just wasn't feeling well the past few days. They put me through quite a ringer, particularly with bloodwork, and I still don't feel that great even now.

So, yeah, no lore, don't have the strength to pick something out.

And in terms of game progress? A bunch of minor stuff. Since I was under the weather, I picked out smaller tasks I could complete without getting too deep into them. So there's a lot of tweaks I did to the document generation syntax that I feel would be best shown off once I have more images processed. Speaking of, we've been acquiring and processing images for the documents, and I think what we have selected should be a pretty good basis for the generator.

I also made some coding changes. One was quite simple - the game now recognises a few more kinds of "first times" for the player character. The other was a set of more complex changes and additions working towards a unified way of judging how the character reacts to various things during sex. It's a more complicated matter, and the discussion post is up on Discord if you are interested in looking into it. This spawned a related change in the form of supported skills. There is now a universal option for skill rolls involving the help of a second character, including the dangers of asking someone unskilled to assist you.

Anyway, I'll have some free time soon, so I'll try to push myself a bit and get more done.
