Yeah, no problem, let me know about things like this. I was planning to work on the editor for the next update anyway (I want to add CGs and custom characters / BGs / music / sound effects). And btw I will open source the editor after we release the game if anyone wants to add features or even repurpose it for their game.


>3- Being able to specify if an event is repeatable.

Do you mean it should automatically trigger every X days? Or you want to trigger it again from within itself (I think it should work. If it doesn't then that's a bug that I need to fix)?

Thank you! I really appreciate how you guys take feedback so earnestly. Open sourcing the editor down the road sounds great, I'd be glad to contribute myself :)

Well, that's the thing. It's not clear how events work, if they are repeatable (by being drawn randombly and such). I think being able to specify if they can repeat or if they are one time only would add a lot of flexibility. Right now, players are stuck with whatever character my story mode selects, but if we could use the events system instead, they could cancel it until a character they want is selected, or they could make the selection themselves like with promotions and photoshoots.

My initial assessment was a tad hyperbolic though. I'm making good progress on the mod right now thanks to some workarounds by manually adding variables into actors through the JSON. Biggest thing I'm missing is a NOT operator on actor variable checks :)

Ah, okay. By default there's a 30 day "cooldown" before another event can be triggered randomly, then there's a 10% chance every day to trigger an event. The same event can't be triggered randomly for 360 days (except for templated events - dating scandals and conflicts)

Oh, that really explains it. Thanks! Does that also apply for dialogues?

No, I need to fix this actually. Right now they don't trigger randomly (because there's only one substory in the beta - the dance one, so I hardcoded it).

It's supposed to be X days between substories, and each substory should be triggered only once per playthrough.

Ah, I see! That also explains why no matter how long I fast forwarded nothing happened lol.

Well, at least on the writing side of things, nothing's really stopping me. It's gonna take me a while to write all the events I have planned :P

I'm working on a post right now to show my progress!

Yes! I would like to be able to set my Event to be repeatable even more tightly, something like every week, or every Monday, or every 1st of the month, or even every day!
