First Update!
Spoon Theory » Devlog
First update since initial upload!
This game was originally conceptualised and developed for the PirateSoftware Game Jam 15, which we did not win (congratulations to the winners!), but I decided that I want to continue working on it anyway. I got some very nice feedback, and I think there is still plenty that Spoon Theory can teach me. With that in mind, I've been working on it almost daily - some days with more success than others.
So here are some updates to the game:
- New Room has been added: The Kitchen
- Fridge (currently does nothing but this is soon to change)
- Dishes: 1 Spoon cost to do the dishes; if you don't do it, there is an increasing penalty to dopamine recovery and stress reduction when you go to sleep.
- Laundry: same as the dishes - 1 Spoon cost to do the laundry; if you don't do it, there is an increasing penalty to dopamine recovery and stress reduction when you go to sleep. This does stack with the dishes penalty.
- Buttons to move between rooms (art for the buttons to be updated) - only the ones that move between The Room and The Kitchen are currently functional.
- New effects have been added: Catharsis and Procrastination Anxiety
- Catharsis received from doing the book activity (which you now can only do once a day): reduces spoon cost for doing work by 1 if the cost is more than 1, and also reduces the stress that doing work gives. Effect goes away when you go to sleep.
- Procrastination Anxiety is received from not doing work for 3 consecutive days. This effect causes anything you do to have a lower dopamine recovery, and also gives stress. This effect goes away if you do work.
- Made it impossible to softlock yourself by running out of spoons and not being able to regenerate any because of the Well Rested effect.
- Dialogue system reworked (but not yet implemented outside of the intro), and consequently code cleaned up a bit.
I have plans for the next update already so stay tuned if you're interested to see where this is going!
Thank you for all the support :)
