Work on Federation Quest is going pretty steadily. Here's a sneak peek, I hope you like puzzles.

Hi I'm Upcast Drake the Programming Simian
- Thread starter Upcast Drake
- Start date
I think these ones in general aren't, you just work backwards and they aren't too bad.
Finished Federation Quest! 
Should be in a public build soonish.
It clocks in at 6,724 lines of code and has 7 possible endings (altho a couple of them are pretty much the same). Don't wanna give too many details so you guys can discover them for yourselves. My only concern right now is the combat balance. It's supposed to be for level 8 PCs but some parts may be too easy/hard (although it's possible to finish the quest only winning 1 fight).

Probably the coolest ending is gated behind the PC having a capital ship so no one will even get to see it for awhile. 
XD you know well just datamine the quest and discuss its secrets once it hits public, right? 
Keep up the good work Upcast. Cant wait to see what you code next.

Good job Code Drake. Take yourself a nice break before the submissions for the Chrismas Contest starts flooding in.

Awesome! Great job mang!
So I guess my main Steele will play it, reload it, then come back to it at a later date.
How the actual fuck is Drake not purple or something for their efforts?
Looking forward to federation quest though. Really curious about that spoilery ending.

There isn't a "Volunteer Coder" title, as far as I know Drake is the first of his kind.

Is that the one where you relocate to Mhenga? Cause some people have already managed to do that.
There are 3 endings where you relocate to Mhenga, the one where you use your capital ship is the coolest though. The end result is the same no matter which one you use.

Alright, I have to ask: why even have content locked things that aren't even in the game yet? I know Gedan has been working on ship stuff behind the scenes, but I don't think we'll be seeing any of that in the foreseeable future.
Future-profing? Easier to get it in now that it's being made, rather than wait until the thing is fully implemented, at which point this quest may be old and forgotten with nobody caring enough to rewrite it, thus leaving opening a plothole
Getting a framework in for later content. Its easier to get it done now than down the line, especially if they have already spoken with Gedan about what is coming up.
OwO
Just coded @HugsAlright 's Anno Christmas scene! It's short and sweet, and there's a very silly bit for taurs as well that made me laugh pretty hard. Procs once during the Christmas season when she is your bed warmer and you sleep on your ship.
Just finished @Night Trap 's Randy Claws contest entry. I cri evertim. Procs once per holiday season when you sleep on your ship after reading the email, which you need to have met Ciaran to get.
Coded @Gardeford 's Gwen Holiday Shopping Thingy. Pretty sure it procs once you've hungout with them at least once, and go to hangout with them again between 20:00-4:00. The flags are pretty fucky with Carbonado, but I got it to proc consistently, if you have question let me know.
You need genitals and if you're a taur you also need a heatbelt in your inventory.
