is that a bump?

[Talvieno]

This concept greatly amuses me.

Less a bump and more expressing my doubt's if this will get updated.

[Just Some Guy]

I still don't understand how nobody commented on my suggestion that we add procedurally generated ethnic slurs.

I at least, just don't think it that is very funny.

I promise that I will update soon! I've just been rather busy lately.

Hope you make it so objects don't clip through the hand.

I've been working a lot on that. It's being annoying. Either the fork becomes too "slippery" to pick up, it acts like it's glued to your hand, or it goes flying 20 feet into the air and hits a diplomat in the face.

I've also messed with the controls - I think that they're better now.

I have a new update for you! Usual url

Spoiler: New Features (click to show/hide)

Revamped controls – now controlled mostly by numpad
Revamped how a fork is picked up – actually works almost decently (after 6 hours of work)
Add framework for objectives. For example, you would have 10 seconds to pick up a piece of food. If it takes longer than that, it would start have an adverse effect on your dining partners.
Added a “magnetic” component – if two objects have it attached and have the same polarity, they’ll stick together
Add method of testing if food is on fork
Updated in-game instructions
Made fork rotate with hand
Make numpad 5 rotate hand towards neutral
Add display for time left in objectives

It doesn't have that much new stuff, but I did a lot of work getting picking stuff up to work more or less correctly. It's still far from perfect (I erred on the side of your hand being sticky), but it's mostly okay now.

Meant to post this a while ago but lost it for a bit. More accurate country names! Based off all the nations of the European Union. Might do one based off Asian and African countries.

This looks better and better!

Impression:
The new wineglass interface is much easier to use.
The dinner stage is fantastic.
The hand-fork dynamic is pretty good.
The wineglass interface is as laggy as heck.
The in-game instructions still say to use the arrow keys to move in cocktail mode.

This is all running on 32-bit Linux Mint.

Just posted to announce my continued advocacy of this game! keep it up!

[Kofthefens]

The wineglass interface is as laggy as heck.

I can certainly imagine that (I have a pretty nice computer, so I often don't notice things like that). I generate the images on the fly, which can be pretty slow. I guess I could just generate at the beginning and reuse - the ever-present balance between memory and CPU.

The in-game instructions still say to use the arrow keys to move in cocktail mode.

Oops, yeah. That should be an easy fix.


What should I be focusing on implementing next? I feel somewhat directionless.

Gimme half a hour to see what's already in since I've only had a chance to play it now.
