The old one is so littered with bugs and typos though!
So I figured I'd use this as an excuse to try learning Flash. What could be easier than remaking an old management game?..
I suspect eventually meismike's sim will be better than my shot at a remake could ever be, but I liked the classic. Anyone else in favor of this?
Small problem: I'm very new to this. I can't find an FLA of the original or expanded, so I can't look at how that works and just start fixing mistakes and seeing the script. I actually have to learn this stuff.
But I took Visual Basic 1 and 2 in high school and scored above 100% in both, due to perfect grades and extra credit. Clearly I have potential.
I have downloaded and installed Adobe Flash CC 2014 with a 30-day trial. I will honestly try figuring this stuff out everyday for this 30-day-trial. After that, I could pay the sub fee of $20 a month, or find some other way, or if I just don't get this stuff then I suppose I stop after the month trial ends. Does anyone have any tips that may specifically help with remaking Sim Brothel?
My plans with this:
I was looking at the other Sim Brothels, and many seem to be such a hassle for a user to play. So many downloads, so many registrations and set-ups(Such as each girl being an separate download). It'd be nice if someone could just click "Sim Brothel" and start playing, so I want to make something that works like that.
I want to have 0 spelling and grammar errors. I want to be rid of all bugs(Such as the infinite AP from Good Health, or broken save files).
I would like to add the option to keep playing after 300 days
Fix the pricing of buildings so it isn't like buying the entire building all over again just to add one room.
Allow the micro-managing of girls to be easier and more streamlined. No need to cycle through all girls to view health, EXP, change work, etc. Something like "Send all low-health girls to rest" or having the menu of girls show who is working, who has low health, etc.
Improve the abilities/perks system. In the original there are many abilities added through school at some low percent chance each day. You could get "Obedient" after just two days of bondage school, or after 5 weeks. That should be... changed. I have a few ideas how to change it. Won't get too complicated for now though.
And many other things, but adding new features to the game are very very low priority as I don't want feature-creep. I want to get a solid understanding of this and just make something that WORKS, first.
...That said, I'll add a little spoiler with potential ideas that won't be approached until much later on.

Sorry I have nothing to show for myself right now, I just want a little push to doing this. Some help, some kind words, whatever.
