Ero Slayers 0.4.6: More Roles

There won't be an game update next week. Around this time next week I'll be on the plane to Sweden to stay at the Spelkollektivet while my appartment is getting remodeled.

Visual Act Split

As mentioned before, the goal is to have an alternate version for each act. I'm slowly adding more enemies so they can be split in two. In the meantime the backgrounds for the alternate acts are finished, so they have now been included in the game:

So for now these alternate acts are purely visual. Once more enemies (particularly elites and bosses) are added the enemies will also be split between them, and even later they'll get their own event pool.

More Roles:

The eventual goal is to have 10 roles per character, so let's add some more.

Wolf Trainee: you are powerful but start with restrictive equipment, these can be disabled for a short time in combat though.

Heatwave: you get an endless flow of sweaty cards.

Hippie: you get card rewards from all characters.

Bully: you get all the "bully" cards and have to pick impolite responses in events.

Latex Mage: you get a bonus for having lots of latex in your deck.

Hoarder: all cards gain retain and you get a bonus for having lots of cards in your deck.

Ponygirl rework: You need to pay to remove your ponygirl equipment, but have gained a cart and cargo to pay off your debt.

Ero Dungeons News: Guild Editor

A part of the Ero Dungeons reworks is reworking the Guild area. Before now this was all stored and manipulated in the game engine itself, instead of external files. While this allows modders to tweak the guild layout, or change the guild based on conditions, or place new buildings in the guild, it also makes the game more robust.

Having data stored visually in the editor sounds great, but eventually just leads to a lot of bugs and messy code. It makes it easy to accidentally break stuff, and makes it hard to make changes to existing stuff.

Note that the tilesets are placeholders. I'll be moving from using my own tiles to using asset packs (in this case the FSM pack for RPGmaker) to allow more detailed tiles. I only implemented some of these for a test, so the tiles are a weird mixture between old and new.

Changelog:

Major:

• 6 new roles and a ponygirl role rework.

Minor:

• Three new area backgrounds.
• Made wolf tamer equipment exhaust.
• Wolf tamer equipment now requires that it can be worn, not that you don't have the specific equipment.
• Equipment (un)equip sounds.
• Added Perks to the Victory Screen.
• Rewire now changes skin color.

Bugfixes:

• Achievements wouldn't trigger after deleting a profile until you restarted the game.
• If a sly card was discarded during the start of your turn due to a token effect, and it drew cards and caused your discard pile to shuffle into your draw pile, the ordering of cards in your hand was broken.
• The Living Latex Collar now triggers "before" combat starts, causing the heels and muzzle to take effect.
• Replacing puppet textures through mods wasn't possible.
• The wolf tamer would never equip the armbinder.
• The open save location button was broken (and has been broken since forever).
• Achievements would behave erratically if you unlocked multiple at the same time.
• Sketches from previous acts remained for the map entry into a new act.
• The eventful role could not be unlocked.
