Course of Temptation "Pour Decisions" Update (v0.6.0)

This update adds a multiple stage career to the River Rat, beginning as a trainee server with the potential to work your way up to manager. Earn tips as you cultivate either a flirty or more professional atmosphere.

You may earn good tips by complying with customers' demands, but often a firm word or confident persuasiveness will do just as well. The River Rat is a good career choice for building Submission or Dominance skill, as well as Disinhibition and Exhibitionism.

At the top end of the career, you can choose a direction for the River Rat, taking it from its sports bar origin to a place that caters to geeks, a topless bar, or a lounge for the town's wealthy elite.

As always, a huge thanks to the contributors who added to this update. Thanks also to the early access crew, whose support and diligent bughunting made this update possible.

If you're not aware, we're maintaining two parallel development cycles:

• The monthly update might contain new event sets, new locations, or new mechanics, but usually focuses on extending existing content or polishing existing systems. It comes out once a month with whatever we got done in that time period... hence the name!

• The roadmap update checks off one or more items on the roadmap, adding extensive new mechanics and a bunch of related new events in one go, often fundamentally changing how the game can be played. It usually takes multiple months.

Thank you and I hope you enjoy!

v0.6.0e release notes:

• The River Rat has been expanded with a new complete career path

• Start as a River Rat server, serving tables and earning tips based on how quickly you respond to customers and whether you undertake any of their special requests

• Upgrading the River Rat will alter the demographics of its clientele and may even unlock unique events
