I love sunsets. When the angry little ball on the sky goes down, I can go to work without it being way too hot or bright for it, and it kinda looks nice too, yeah, I guess, phft <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is going to be the Scraven island, it\u2019s kinda an opposite of Kizan; a plateau that rises over the sea, as opposed to being dropped into the depths, but you know, that kinda thing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scraven island is a fortress, it\u2019s really hard to climb the steep cliffs to get to the savannah like biome above, and most of the traffic has to go through\u2026 *drum roll* \u2026a literal fortress that has access to it. It is pretty much called as Fortress Island because of that, the Scraven control who comes and goes, and everyone else is left on the docks (or bottom of the sea before the docks, if they fly the dragon on the mast)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cliffs on cliffs! I\u2019m so *nobody* will try climbing these. Who am I kidding, I\u2019m probably going to climb those first. If it looks impassable, there must be something interesting up there xD <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While currently it\u2019s just the biome we\u2019re building, the native species of the island are going to be hyave\u2019s, the yeens that make up most of the bulk of the Scraven fleet\u2019s original founders. In addition to the hyave, we can finally add lions in to their native environment xD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun fact, lions have two Prides; the pride with one submissive male lion and bunch of dominant female lions who do all the work while the lazy male lion just being bitten until it mates enough, and the gay pride made from lion males driven away from the other pride ^^<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeens are all dicks btw. Loveable fuzzballs, but dicks <3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mushrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SORRY! TREES!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I made some additional edits to the font, to make the readability better on lower resolutions. It probably doesn\u2019t show too much, because I still want to keep the old fashioned typewriter style font, but a lot of the smaller letters that were breaking apart a bit, are made simpler and easier to read (hopefully!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A smart girl once said \u201cTutorials are like nipples, everyone has two.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait, where’s her nipples? I forgot I made the example before we added nipples. Oops xD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current plant for tutorials are sort of a mini-game-guides that will trigger in locations that need tutorializing, and will then also be available in the logbook so you can peruse them later if need be, or just read in advance, if you like cute art <3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Phew, her nipples were found. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You know what they say about girls with big guns?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*awkward silence*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re high caliber!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*booing in the background*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ignore the mess on the back, this here in is \/ was our testing environment for shot scatter and drop ^^ <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here in your current gun, the Stinger. It is supposed to be a very good rifle, and yeah, you start with basically the best basic gun in the game, but you\u2019re a bit special in game lore anyways, circumstances being what they are ^^<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see it has very little scatter, but has some drop at this range already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here is the scatter chart for Dart. It is a little less good. A cheap one shot service rifle almost every sailor has fired or uses. Now, you *can* get it, but it won\u2019t be very good, and it uses the same ammo as Stinger does, so it\u2019s not really a \u201cpositive\u201d alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why would we make a weapon that\u2019s worse than your starting gun? You see\u2026 if you want to make a realistic world, not everything should be balanced and have a reason to exist as a valuable alternative to each other. Not to mention, a lot of enemies later on will be using Darts, because it\u2019s cheap, and it\u2019s everywhere. Maybe someone will actually want to use Dart, it has it\u2019s own flavor, the bad flavor xD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, we have the Grunt, a single firing pistol. It is generally a navy officer weapon, much better make than the Dart. Much more accurate, but the shots don\u2019t really travel far in comparison to a Stinger. Uses smaller darts, that are generally a bit cheaper, so it could make a good alternative gun for those who want to sneak a bit more before booping the cakes :3 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And then\u2026 we have the Pathfinder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s extremely accurate, it\u2019s heavy, it\u2019s cumbersome, it\u2019s expensive to use, it\u2019s unique\u2026 it\u2019s unique, because there\u2019s only one ever made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is our first \u201cGreat rifle\u201d, so it uses those long and girthy darts you\u2019ve probably mostly made profit on. I know I\u2019ve always just sold them away, uhm x)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Standing on the Grey Port\u2019s docks with Pathfinder ^^ <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just a prank, bro\u201d, and proceeds to do the most terrible horrible crime possible; scaring Juin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

DO. NOT. BOOP. THE. SNOOT! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Look how cute they arrrrrrreeee! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Same animation, just different characters showing a transition between two phases. Dat little penis touch :3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the build; On my list is primarily some testing still, and one quick polish pass on some dialogue, and Pathfinder is missing some related stuff, but *close* now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With luv <3
