I have 4 NPCs planned for the Gym. It looks like they will be among the first permanent* characters added to the game. It will take some time to implement them, but I think you'll be pleased.
We have Vicky, the gym owner... a petite 5-foot-nothing 26 year old gal... or so she would have everyone believe ;) Yup, she's got a sec...

New, experimental text-illusion feature. You will need high awareness to perceive it. If your PHY and WSD scores are incredibly high, talk to the girl at the front desk in the gym... read the text closely, the...

I need to split the workout logic up a bit. I have the load-based logic complete, but it doesn't work well for time-based workouts (which I already have the logic for, but I need to branch the Gym code so it doesn't try to use load-based for everything).
So I'll have to review the workout table again, and likely insert another...

This table is a list of ratios/parts to each exercise. Don't try to read a body-region top to bottom, that's meaningless. The chart reads left-to-right, any particular value in the exercise is divided by the SUM of all values, which gives as a fractional value to work with. That fraction is then multiplied by the workout effort ...
2018-05-17 09:09:05 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, after careful review, I believe the best course of action is to track progress in individual muscle groups. Its a fair amount of work, but I believe the game will be much better for it.
First off, everyone has their own favorite area/group they want to focus on, and the description system needs more precise me...

Now the game knows how far everything is apart, and I have a feel for the city layout, I can begin adding these new locations... starting, of course, with the Gym, Gas Station, Motel, and Diner for v0.3
Then continuing with the Bar and Prison, Apartment, Condo, Police, Fire, House, Quikburger, Junkyard, Strip Club, and a few o...

Split Light and Dark Karma.

Adjusted several formulas, particularly regarding random opponent height and weight (and scaled weight which kept clocking in below the starvation threshold)

2 way basic damage, and status/condition update that indicates when a fighter has been knocked out or killed
Encounter rates have been adjusted so stalker/fight occurs frequently for this beta, but no so frequently that you cannot play normally.
2018-05-08 08:30:53 +0000 UTC View Post
The damage formula and action(s) are nowhere near final, but we finally have a working interface with reasonable opponent generation. Still quite a bit to go before v0.23, but we've made it past the hard part.
Combat is currently only triggered by the stalker encounter, which has a <1% proc rate and only appears ...
2018-05-07 09:30:55 +0000 UTC View PostCombat starts with a wallet... no, really, the updated randomLicense() method generates not just a name, but age, gender, weight, and height. A good beginning for random encounters, hostile or otherwise. Next I add a set of random stats to make the person combat/contest-ready.
Then I build the 1v1 combat interface t...

On reviewing feedback and retesting, I discovered that the LOOK FOR CHANGE action was returning less than half the expected coinage for the amount of karma spent (prior to this fix, shoplifting was more efficient @3 karma/$1 vs 3 karma/$0.55)
