Version 0.4
Writers can now brainstorm to earn Script Points! Animated sequence for researching scene cards along with some other UI tweaks and additions.
- Brainstorming added. Brainstorming is a work type that writers can do which directly earns Script Points. It requires the Writer's Room to be upgraded to level 2 and for no writing to be currently underway. Once initiated it lasts for a set amount of time (5 days) before ending, or it can be ended earlier whenever the player likes.
Brainstorming reduces staff energy, at the same rate as writing a script. The amount of Script Points a writer brainstorming will earn is based on the average grade of their three main stats, the writer’s room script bonus and the writer's energy levels. Brainstorming reduces energy over time at the same rate as writing. Completing brainstorming will earn XP as long as it wasn't ended early.
- Added an animation sequence for researching a new scene card to jazz the whole thing up!
- Add archetype level & XP bars to the character titles screen (now renamed unlocks).
- Adjustments to the Room sidebar layout. Added room stats sub-screen.
- Added a shine effect to staff stat rating icons on the staff details screen, staff training screen, staff sidebar, character select (script create), staff search sidebar, staff search level list, main staff lists
- Added ability to edit character name on the character details screen and studio name on the studio screen.
- Fix for pressing space bar when entering text causing the game to unpause.
- Fix for the camera locking and/or the character look image remaining after closing the Character Look screen without pressing the confirm button.
