Progress Sneak Peek - March 29


Hello everyone and welcome to a new sneak peek of Lucky Paradox!

It's been a week full of ups and downs. Redoing the entire Lucky Paradox code base has been almost a nightmare, but it's finally complete and I can't tell you how great I feel after getting through it all.

Not only has the code base been improved by 9000% 

But many new mechanics have been added and the current systems have been expanded exponentially.

What do I mean by this?

For now the costume system had been added as an extra to main girls, but now there is the possibility of being able to add costumes to the secondary characters too. I still don't know if I will ever use this, but I like to have the possibilities in case they are needed.

Also, the relationship point system has been completely removed and replaced by something much better. From now on we will be able to earn love point (Red Hearts = Old relationship points) or depravity point (Violet Hearts) with each of the girls, which will activate new secondary events, and not only that, it has also been expanded to the secondary girls, so from future updates you will be able to earn love and depravity points with characters like Shizuka, Kaede or the new ones that are coming soon.

For characters without relationship paths, friendship points have been added. These will be used to unlock some perks in future updates.

Also, the perks system has been finished, which will be bonuses obtained mostly through secondary content. Now there are only two in the game, one with Maxy and one with Mary, but eventually there will be perks for each of the Lucky Paradox characters, and by each, I mean all the inhabitants of Argleton, including the player.

Speaking of player, it is already possible to change the name at any time. Perhaps it is something that destroys a little realism, but it has been a decision for convenience. A tab called "Glow" has also been added, where we will be able to see how the fireflies we have unlocked so far work.

This is all secondary content, so it will have no bearing on the main story. It can be ignored completely if you wish. I've always wanted to keep the philosophy of a game tailored to the player.

I think that, with this kind of additions, each inhabitant will have something to contribute to the game experience and gives more depth to the game universe.

And well, we now have detailed profiles for 25 Lucky Paradox characters to which more will be added in the future. Each girl has two attributes specified in her profile, which, as a curiosity, are the most defining traits for their personalities. Previously we could only see this information for the main girls, but that will no longer be a problem. Although John Silver is an exception... That turtle's personality remains a mystery.

For two days I have decided to take a little break from so much code and work a little on the content that will arrive in version 0.7.

What has happened in those two days?

A new girl has been finished, called Luna Blair the Blind Ghost.

She is Argleton's medium. A blind girl who claims to be able to see things from beyond the grave and contact the spirits of the other side. She also has a lot to do with dark magics, spiritualism and rituals.

The secondary content of Luna will be very different and will add small elements of terror to the story of Lucky Paradox and special events for Halloween. That will be activated when you get to October in the Argleton calendar and events where our favorite girls will participate.

Her profile page has also been added, along with her corresponding love and depravity points. Although this will be hidden until the arrival of version 0.7.

That's all for this week. These improvements still need more testing, as the change internally has been huge, meowtastic and titanomastic. I haven't done enough testing on Android yet, but I'll keep polishing the little details.

The patreons of higher tiers will be able to test the new build with the new interface. This is a huge redesign for Lucky Paradox, it doesn't include new content yet.

From now on I'll start working on rewriting the beginning of the main girls' stories, as well as graphic updates to this part of the game, some scenarios and other renders in general.

And that's it for today.

Thank you all for supporting this project and see you soon with more news!!!!

what do you think of a future pregnancy system (at least for yui)

Will the old relationship points be automatically converted, or will it be better to play the game again from the beginning to be able to take advantage of the new system? BTW, great job with the game as a whole, and the new enhancements look excellent!

old relationship point will be converted to love point. 10 relationship = 1 love heart

Thanks a lot! As much as I love the game, replaying it from the beginning would be a bit daunting.

I really liked the design of the new character and I can already tell that there will be a lot of events involving her and Maxy (poor Mary 😂), since she has shown to the MC more than once to be a person interested in things that she knows very little about EVEN if they're dangerous as hell. 

But considering that Maxy literally comes from another world and shares a body with a girl from the world that the MC lives in, talking with ghosts will probably be a walk in the park to her.
