Finishing up Heroine Rumble now.

Working on story mode now. It is going to a fairly simple mode and its mostly there to provide a way to earn Lewds in a wrestling setting. I originally had much bigger plans for the story mode, but I decided to postpone those to the next game.

My plan right now is to push out v0.5 of Heroine Rumble sometime before end of June. Shortly after, there will be a public version and then I will consider Heroine Rumble completed. I may come back to it in the future but no guarantees at this point.

Afterwards, I will be devoting full attention to the next game. I am actually somewhat excited. It has a lot of nice things going for it and an opportunity to correct some what I consider to be design mistakes. Anyways, don't want to talk too much about it right now or I'll be too distracted to finish Heroine Rumble.

There are also 2 more post here for more information:

Combat abilities and moves customization

Tried a couple different setups, and found this one to be the most intuitive. Mouse drag and drop is working now. Keyboard controls almost there. Once that is done, just need to tweak this system to work for moves as well. After that, it should be patch time soon!

Progression

One of the changes for Adventure Mode in the next patch is that it will no longer be an endless stream of enemies. Instead, there will be a "hub area" where the player returns to after reaching an end to the stage. The player can choose which stage they want to go next from there. (Along with other things)

However, not every stage will be available at the start. They must be unlocked by successfully completing the previous stage. Right now the system is very basic, but I want to start building the framework for story progression.

Upcoming grapple selection changes

Going to change how grapple moves selection are performed. Currently it is done via a dir key + grab button. In the future, pressing the grab key will open up a special "pick a move" menu. While this menu is open, the game is paused and the player can pick and choose a desired move to perform on the opponent.

The motivation for the change are as follows:

• Allows for a variable number of moves per character (>4)
• More flexibility in presenting to the player the moves they are able to perform based on the circumstances. Eg. when opponent is futa, when you have an rope/potion item in the inventory, etc.
• A nice descriptive box so moves are no longer forced into the 4 categories and can have special individual properties.
