No update this week I’m afraid, but we are getting there with other bits and pieces:
Holidays at the moment, so again, no update this week I’m afraid. But there are good things coming ;)
It’s been a bit of a while, but I’ve just released some new content. There are quite a few small things to various systems, but the main thing is that the reputation mechanic now does more. You still have a separate rep for each area, but it now does more, and there are more ways to build and look after it.
This lot was produced during a pause on a much bigger chunk of content, which is still coming soon. I’ve also been putting a lot into the short story collection that’ll be launching on Kickstarter in the near future.
We have a promo video for the short story collection as well now:
Hey, I’d be really happy to be a tester for this, if you’re still accepting people. What kind of feedback are you looking for?
Sounds good! I’ll send you a PM. I’m mainly looking for game play, story and balance feedback (plus bugs, of course!)
The enforcer job has now been implemented. Like all jobs in the game, it has its own unique mechanics and requirements for the tasks to complete each week. It’s fairly large, with around 40 items of unique content (more to come as well).
I’ve fixed and implemented one or two other bits and bobs as well.
You can get a free illustrated short story from the world here (PDF & EPUB):

If you like that, there’s another free sample you can get my signing up on the site (http://cyberpunkdreams.com). I’m not linking straight to that as I’ve committed to it only ever being for subscribers.
Just released a fair bit of new content, especially around Jax, one of the main NPCs:
– Jax has had the treatment, including more uptodate mechanics.
– You can now have a proper conversation with Jax, with a lot of things to learn.
– Several new options at Jax’s place, including buying specially tailored juice.
– A fair bit of new content for Ann, especially regarding her relations with Jax.
– You can now access a medical supplies shop in the slums.
– You can now bundles shotgun shells, pistol rounds and rifle rounds.
– Morality and immorality now drop slowly over time.
– Proper conversations now only let you succeed with each conversation option once [not yet universally implemented].
– Fixed a lot more small bugs and typos.
The Kickstarter for the book of short stories set in the game’s world is also coming soon!
Just released another big chunk of content related to Jax:
- You can now lay low at Jax’s place. This is a large piece of new material, with plenty of new content as well as a way to reduce hostility from various factions and to develop your relationship with Jax. Lots more content for Ann too if you got them together.[/li][li]If Jax cut you off because you murdered Ann, you now have a shot about getting back in with him.
A small update this time – you can now borrow cash in the slums using a couple of different deals. There’s quite a bit more to come, however, including a possible job.
The Kickstarter for the book also launches in the next few days.
We’re live on Kickstarter now:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cyberpunkdreams/cyberpunkdreams-cincinnati-stories
This is for an illustrated book of short stories sharing the same world as the game (and some of the same characters).
We’re up to 60% funded in less than 24 hours. Looking good!
100% funded already! Whoop whoop!
Got another small update in the game – you now have some more options for dealing with hostility from Tower Group, if they start coming after you.
Sorry if I’m not supposed to be asking questions here, but how do you get Hired help/Cinci Slums? I have one but I have no idea how to get any more (I don’t remember how I got the first one either).
Hey, better to ask questions via PM (as it’s still in alpha), but you can get more guys by drinking in The Road Mender and doing other things. That bar gets activated by doing some Sweat and toil. The first one is given to you via a one-off card in the slums. You can also get hired help in the borderland – you get that by checking out the bar there.
No update this week (bar a few typos and minor fixes), but there’s something bigger coming in the next week or two.
I just saw your kickstarter; I’m not sure how this project escaped my sights for so long, it looks absolutely fantastic! If you’re still looking for testers at this stage, I’d love to take part.
I know, what a shocker, right? But thanks. :p I’ve sent you a PM.
