Hey, thanks for the interest !
Work on the game has slowed down because of other projects, but yeah I really want to finish that long-distance version. I have so many ideas, I think it has potential. I'll take time to work on it in the coming days and see what I can come up with.
Good question about adding dares. It is not possible in the game itself, but I'll explain a way to edit dares here :
-In the game folder, open the local_en file (json) with the notepad.
- This contains all the text used in the game, you can edit the text between "" for each dare. (I suggest saving a copy of the original file in case you make a change that could cause errors)
-Simply save the file and launch the game with the updated list.
A few points to know for editing dares :
tx_m_dareXX are the males dares, tx_f_dareXX are the female ones. One is selected at random each round.
The number of dares for each participant is hard-codded in the game, don't try to add (or remove) extra lines like "tx_m_dare43" , you can only change the text of current dares. (that's actually a good idea for a change in a future update)
Use %M and %F to show the names of the left and right players (I call them left and right because... they're not necessarily Female and Male anymore. ;)). The game only check and replace one %M and %F per line (which means: don't use the player name more than once per dare)
Dares 0 to 8 triggers special events in game (those are the dares that last several rounds or add diamonds to players) I suggest not editing those.
Now, writing about all this made me realise, you could technically duplicate the local_en file, give it another 2 letters code (let's say lg, so you'd have a local_lg file), change the value for "local_code" and "tx_current_language" lines at the top (for our exemple to "lg" and "LGBT" respectively) and then edit a list of custom dares.
To use this list in your game you would simply select it with the language selector on the main menu. (So you'd have English, Français, and LGBT as valid options).
Okay I just wanted to give a quick reply and I feel like it got out of control ^^. Apologies for any mistakes I could have make, it's quite late here and I might be wrong about some stuff.
If you come up with custom dares I'd be extremely interested in seeing those, and maybe I could potentially add them in a futur update. (especially LGBT ones, I could use some inspiration for a future version, who knows)
EDIT : Also as always, any suggestion is welcome.
I'm really passionate and love talking about my projects. And hearing what others have in mind is a great source of insipiration.
Your message actually made me think and now I consider changing the language selector into a dare-list selector, which is acuatlly the easiest and most customizable way to add new game variations.
