About This File
This adds a casino where you can spend your hard earned (escort?) money.
This is a work-in-progress...
Implemented:
- Games: I've implemented Slots (one 3-reel machine), Baccarat (two variants), Roulette, and Texas Hold'em.
- Jobs: There are currently three jobs implemented.
- Bad Endings: There are eight soft bad-endings currently
- Front- and Back-of-House provide different playstyles
It's functional, reasonably stable but far from feature complete; eg few story elements and such. I would love to get some feedback on the general idea and some extra play-testing would be awesome. If you're interested my backlog is in the zip file.
- This is designed by myself and coded with help from Gemini, I'd like to think about half and half
- I always have my audio off so there's no audio for now
- Images and much of the dialogue is written by Gemini
- There might be an extra, more recent media file available for preview builds; 0.0.2i is the current one required
Integration support for:
- Backpage (WIP): escort jobs
- Get Caged: Redux: cage awareness
- Cucked: cage awareness
- Last Call (WIP): bartending job
- Bar Activities Expanded (WIP): billiards in the lounge
Questions, bug reports, feedback, requests, etc are best made via the Palais Royale thread in the mods channel on the official XCL Discord server. That's also where you can find intermediate/preview builds...
