We now have Destinations, allowing you to go to certain specific places directly instead of waiting for them to come up in the deck (useful if you have errands to fulfill).

cyberpunkdreams Posts: 527 8/3/2015	Just released another small batch of new content. Just a couple of cards really -- food stalls in the market (lots of things to buy) and a "Hanging around" card.

If you didn't, you will be able to hunt them, but only once you're much further in (you were warned at the time!) This update also includes the very first vehicle-based dynamic scene in the game. There will be more from the forgers soon as well. -- Seeking alpha testers for a new StoryNexus cyberpunk RPG. Welcoming friends, rivals, sightseers; a life of some importance in the Neath.

cyberpunkdreams Posts: 527 11/14/2016	Another week, another update. I thought I'd put the changelog here for a change. There's a bunch more stuff to do for the new content for the forgers (you can meet them now, but not much more) and then it'll be back to Zane. You now get Hanging around at the gym if you work out there often enough. This replaces the old area for transactions at the gym and works just other randomised opportunities. Gym sessions now acts as a frequency measure rather than a simple count, so you have to keep your sessions up to keep your kudos up. You can now make and work with logistics teams and murder squads in the Projects. You can now deploy murder squads in the Projects. There's a minor tweak to the hard target mechanic. There's now a large chunk of extra content for if you fail the intro mission that the Cinci Forgers give you. One new weapon, but it's rare. The order of the various help and teams in the inventory has been changed to be a bit more logical. The amount used when topping up your funds when Working the trade now scales with the number of junk dealing contracts you have. (Just so you have to use that option less often.) Made some minor bug fixes. Thanks for the reports. -- Seeking alpha testers for a new StoryNexus cyberpunk RPG. Welcoming friends, rivals, sightseers; a life of some importance in the Neath.

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.

cyberpunkdreams Posts: 527 10/17/2016	Zane, finally, cometh: http://latenightgames.net/changelogs/cpd-changelog-021/ This is a pretty large update, but it's probably only got about two thirds of everything I wanted to put in it. I just figured I had to get it out or I was going to lose the plot; the rest will come later. This is mostly stuff for people who sided with Zane during Pimps & Prostitutes (or haven't got there yet), but there is some stuff for people who offed him at that point. Many thanks for tester Silver Priest for helping out with ideas for this update. In other news, I finally, finally, finally figured out a fix for the broken image bug in the quality change area and have been working on that. It has to be implemented one source image at a time (and there are only 615 custom images in the game :p), but it's looking better already. And speaking of numbers, we're now on well over 1,400 storylets and 1,700 qualities in the game.

cyberpunkdreams Posts: 527 6/22/2015	Another week, another batch of new content. A few things this time, one of which is the mechanics around gunshot wounds (the game already has knife wounds and serious bruising). If that sounds bad, it's a precursor to dynamic gun battles, which should be fairly exciting. The game already features a number of dynamics scenes -- chasing and being chased, deep conversations, interrogations, haggling, etc., with plenty more to come. These scenes are each a single card but with dozens of options which shift and change depending on the current situation and random chance combined with your character, skills and equipment. So at any one time just a handful of the total number of options are available, with your actions affecting the next selection and future selections over time. So, for example, if you're questioning someone and keep going for an easy option, you might actually be backing them into a corner and changing that option into a hard one (or locking it out entirely). Anyway, still got room for another tester or two; please let me know if you're interested and I'll send a PM with the details. -- Seeking alpha testers for a new StoryNexus cyberpunk RPG.

cyberpunkdreams Posts: 527 7/1/2015	As we're inching towards release, I thought I'd start to talk a bit more about some of the features in the game. I mentioned about that there are about 300 items available -- that only refers to physical items, not intangibles. But intangibles are more than somewhat important, of course. Especially: Information In the game, information is crucial important, and used for all sorts of things. The basic type is "Rumours", which are specific to each area. So you have: Rumours/Cinci Slums Rumours/Evanston Projects Rumours/Borderland etc You'll typically have a couple of dozen up to about 100 of each. But if you have too many, they'll decay over time (they become less relevant if you don't use them). Also specific to each area are "Hard facts" and "Supply and demand". The latter are specifically for the Working the streets mechanic of buying, selling and generally hustling. You can, of course, convert between the different types, but results vary a lot. Certain drugs and neural interfaces help you get more from your trades though. There are also some types of information non-specific to a given area. "Patterns" are useful in that they're mainly used for converting into whatever you need. They're rarely used directly. Also very useful are "Detailed plans". Hard to come by! They're used in the execution of bigger jobs. Lastly we have "Mysteries". Better not to say too much about those right now... -- Seeking alpha testers for a new StoryNexus cyberpunk RPG.

cyberpunkdreams Posts: 527 6/3/2018	The long-awaited Street knowledge revamp is finally here. It's now more complete, more balanced and more interesting. Street knowledge now has about 80 branches (twice what it has before), with content for every step up to level 100, and there bout 20 entirely new cards associated with it. There are also several entirely new mechanics, new items (including a new vehicle) and new content on existing cards. As ever, balance and whatnot is up for grabs still (especially with the entirely new mechanics), so feedback is very welcome. Next up: I've been working on mechanics for prosthetic limbs, but the next real release will be full NPC mechanics and content for Willow. -- Seeking alpha testers for a new StoryNexus cyberpunk RPG.

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.
