Early Weekend Developer Update - "L stands for Love, Lust and Loyalty" edition
Normally I would make a post launch future post, but since the near future will be patches I will wait with Game 2 talk until I am ready to start on that.
This will be a tips and tricks post for new and old players. There might be no surprises to some of the veterans, but it might help somebody. I will add a permanent copy to the game forum.
The L: number. We have all seen it and some of you have used it to to get help.
As the title listed the number shows the progress of each non-player character in the game.
You start out with 11 zeros and it grows from there.
Each zero represents a character in alphabetical order by character names.
Actress, Boss, Starlet, Waitress, Model, Singer, Chef, Babe, Janitor, Instructor, Receptionist
As you progress through each path each number grows to show your increased connection with them.
The middel 3 paths are what I call the intro paths. The first 3 implemented and the easiest to complete. They will end at 17, 21, 17. Mmmm symmetry.
If you are stuck and one of the numbers is at 0 or very low compared to the other paths you might need to hunt down that character.
L for Locations: If you don't have anything to do in your task list you might need to find an event.
This was designed so you can follow a path through the hotel in the rooms that will trigger events.
Bedroom, Basement, Lounge, Reception, Lobby, Restaurant, Kitchen (Once open and at the right time.)
But wait you say...stupid Seztworks...what about the Alley.
You are right. They Alley is the exception to the rule and that is why the events happening out there always happen at the same time of day to make that easy to investigate.
I hope some of this can help the players and that you all have a nice weekend.
