0.55 Status Update

Hello, perverts! I'm just giving a quick report on how the new update is coming along. It won't be done by the end of September, but progress is going well! You can compare to last time: the public celebration graduation route now has 2101 lines written, with most major segments at least outlined. The current plans are for this update to include:

A trip with multiple stops through public displays of Theresa's ruination:

• Four dynamics, roughly summarized as: letting people watch you with Theresa, fucking Theresa with the crowd, watching the crowd fuck Theresa, and fucking the crowd beside Theresa. These will be affected in small ways by the kink books you have active in your bedroom, so if you're super into NTR, you can choose the cuckold dynamic with the jealousy book active.
• Three approaches, each with a customization: a drunken bar crawl (you pick the chaperone), a public festival (you choose if it's blasphemous, primal, or esoteric), or a town-wide game (you choose how involved you are with the planning).
• You pick three stops (with a twist for the bar crawl) in any order from a pool of seven stops total; each approach has one exclusive stop option, so you'll have five available for any one playthrough.
• Three new outfits, one for each type of festival. You'll unlock one of these for free in the course of play if you choose the festival approach, but I'm currently thinking they'll all be available at the Tailor once you've finished any graduation.

Some other improvements:

• Better buttons for the mobile interface, to make it easier to do things like back up in history, hide the interface, and access the menu.
• Ren'Py Sync, a new opt-in feature that will (optionally) let you upload your saves encrypted to the cloud, giving you a code you can put into any equal or subsequent version on any platform or device and import it. This isn't full "cloud save," just a way to do a manual transfer of saves from one of your devices to another.
• Web will be added to the list of available platforms for both free and patron versions (post-0.55). My Center of Attention patrons weighed in, and since it's looking like maintenance efforts will be minimal, I'm going forward with making Web available to everyone. Free players will be able to play on itch.io, and patrons will be able to link Patreon to my website at phanes.me and play there.

I don't have an estimate for completion on this all, but I'll do my best to keep you posted!

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about my plans and listen to any feedback you want to share! Thank you so much for continuing to support me.
