Update 0.6 - Gym rework and Room Service
Added 2020-01-04 19:48:17 +0000 UTCHowdy, gainers!
A warm welcome to early-comers to the Patreon. Your support means a lot, and I hope you'll enjoy my game and the coming updates.
This update the main focus was reworking the gym, which I considered the least fleshed out location in the game. In reworking the gym to a standard I was happy with, I had the opportunity to set a bar for the other locations. It also identified a decent number of issues (Particularly with dialogue, relationships, etc) that I'll be working to resolve over the next few updates.
The hotel receptionist, Simon, now plays a larger part in the game. He's responsible for bringing the player room-service, as well as the second participant in 6 new lewd scenes.
The "Job" system has been removed, since it warranted the creation of 3 separate progression systems and variant scenes for all upcoming plot-relevant content. I decided to streamline the "Jobs" into bonuses that advance the player towards content they'd like to see.
The popularity system is now more fleshed out and unhooked from a single variable. You can't tell Matt you think his hair is dumb and be hated by Sofi, for example. In the future, random events will tie together the relationships between characters and there will definitely be situations where you can ruin your reputation with multiple people in one conversation.
While setting the bar for the gym content, I revisited some of Matt's dialogue. Eventually you'll be able to romance/date/seduce all the characters in the game and they'll respond if you get caught dating multiple people (Maybe positively, depending on who it is).
That's it for now though. Cheers!
