How's this going these days?
Very well! I was banned
from these forums but that ban seems to be expired now.
But I continued with the game as normal. All the core features which I have talked earlier are pretty much done now. Of course there has been some changes, mostly in family/breeding area of the game. There is no chance of doing a even simple "dating game" within this project, as such would be so complicated and large feature block even in small degree. In the end, this is not nor supposed to be dating game.
The game worlds society works so that if you have very good genetic health, you can be pretty successful in finding a partner and having a children. There is an item called "DNA scanner" which helps you to find suitable partners to ensure healthy children. But without this item, it is little bit more challenging to find suitable partners. Of course if you are a female player, you can just have a artificial insemination in clinic and it is easy as that.

Besides than doing the core features and graphics, I've been also started to make mock-up sound and music design. Sounds have mostly informative function, they are sometimes important aspects of gameplay functions. Musics are mostly for setting a atmospherics and moods. Sure, there are some exceptions as when music is diegetic or non-diegetic.

I am about to finish a "first episode" of the game, which I like to call it (however this doesn't mean that the game is released in two parts). After that I start to work on the second episode.
