Progress update

The game has been progressing at a fairly steady rate except for this last week.  I didn't realize how time consuming it would be to implement a better inventory management system compared to the rags version.  Plus there's been a few days I just didn't have the time or energy to put any worth while work into the game.  I *should* be able to get back to my normal schedule next week though.

The home bunker and hotel is pretty much finished as it was in the rags version.  I know that doesn't sound like much but that includes nearly all the background coding required for future additions.  The code that controls clothing, stats, reputation, movement, jobs, sounds, combat, quests, and conversations are in place so adding more is fairly quick and easy.  The only two left to do are the saving/loading feature(which I'm saving for very last) and inventory management.  I could have the inventory be pretty much a copy of how it was in rags but I would really like to allow multiple items of the same type and ammunition limits.  Having Kaylee walk around with 200 spare bullets in her back pocket just doesn't seem right.  So I'm going to spend a few days brainstorming on how to best implement a better inventory management, though if I don't come up with anything good I'll likely just use the simple version rags did. 

Once that is done (either way) the rest of the game should be filled out quickly, especially with all the help I've been getting.

First draft for reboot.

Don't worry, this one will be a short post :)

We've mostly completed the home bunker section of the game.  I decided to upload a link so the people interested can see how the new format will be.  There is very likely some bugs in it and if you do find some, please please please take a screen shot and send it to me.  This version stops as Kaylee is taken out of the bunker. 

Let me say that again:  There is no "new" content in this update.  You only get to run around the bunker and go through the story there.  (Which does include the first naughty scene, perverts!) 

I'm honestly hoping to be writing new scenes within two weeks, but we'll see how much time we can dedicate towards it.  If we keep going as we have been we can very easily make that goal.  Even if we don't, I promise I'll get the next upload out before another year passes ;)
