Told you it was going to be a little while longer! But a new version of Please Don't Ruin Me!!! is live!
I had some down time since I am in negotiations with a very talented pixel artist to revamp the art style of the game and leave behind the generic RPG Maker Sprites! Thus, I opted to not create any more scenarios till it’s a done deal, or it falls through and I must start the search again.
However I decided to use my time to change some important things that have been bothering me, The UI still wasn't at a point I was happy with, and thankfully I found a plug in from VisuStella_MZ to give it that final push. I ended up incorporating a lot more or their Plugins! But I didn't just add plugins and called it a day, The girls screen has gotten a major makeover. Bigger portraits, a Bio and you can also see how many dates you've had together! Also, there seem to be some Mystery girls?!?! 10 of them?! I wonder where you would meet them.
That's not all though! The game has a new mechanic gifts! The store in the east part of town now stocks them, giving them to the girls for a variety of benefits or drawbacks! All the girls have:
Gifts they love
Gifts they like
Gifts they are indifferent to
Gifts they dislike and,
Gifts they hate
You can only give one gift a day to the girls... Except for Jessica, she will take as many as you give her, just be careful when doing that ok? You don't know how she might react to a surplus of gifts.
A new vandalism scene is available for Artemis! She must be mad at you for it to activate, so if you want to see it, try ignoring her for a few days. But if you do, know that the map will change permanently, and it might affect some characters and how they view you. (I know I said there would be no more scenarios for a bit, but this had been planned for a while now).
What's next? Well while I wait to see if the pixel artist is on board or not, I think it's time I started checking grammar and syntaxis in the game, it is not the most fun thing in the world, but it's necessary. After that I'm looking at revamping the combat system, it's the second half of the game and it needs as much love as the Dating sim part. My idea is to make it a more active combat, you'll see what I mean soon enough, hopefully.
One last thing! I want to tease the design of the upcoming new datable girl, I won't say anything else about her, I’ll just show her off! Thank you for taking your time to read this! Enjoy the game!
