[Development] Dating Sim Upgrade~!

Hey y’all,

Zurizuri has been getting an upgrade this month, as we continue to flesh out our requirements for Memento Mamori. This month's focus has been on the Dating Sim System~!

Unknown Senpai has also been working hard to study how it all works, making general improvements, removing old and redundant systems, fixing issues they’ve encountered, and helping on some of the newer stuff!

And here’s some of the new stuff we’ve got.

The images in this post are just test scenes, and WILL NOT be used in game.

Calendar System

We have a brand new calendar system, allowing us to schedule events for certain times of day and for certain activities.

You can see it in the top left corner of our little test scene image below.

Statistics

We now have a flexible statistics system, allowing us to keep track of your character stats. It also lets us add new stats quickly if we ever have to.

We can also use it with our Z-Expressions, so we can use it to control quests, dialogue, and logic based on how you’re progressing through the game.

Activities

How do you improve your stats? You have to do activities related to them, that’s how! 

And that’s what the activity system is made to do. They can also trigger important events on the calendar if there are any related to the activity. But watch your energy, else you might not be able to do them, at least until you sleep!

It still needs work, especially for the UI, but we can now have little activities that can affect the calendar time and your stats.

Next up, we’ll be reworking the old Inventory and Quest systems, for some much-needed improvements and to work with all the latest changes. 

Nerd-citing~!! ^^

And with that, we’re a step closer to full development on Memento Mamori! Yay~!!!
