Harmony Girls v0.4.75 Development Update #6

Last week was another great week for getting work done on the latest version of Harmony Girls. I've nearly completed the work on the sandbox overhaul and I've started testing and bugfixing the changes. So far, I enjoy the way it plays as well as the way it looks. I've changed the top menu and combined all of the menus into a single button so the UI can flow better with the sandbox changes. I'll be giving a rundown of all the changes, so brace yourself since this is going to be a long update with a lot of technical details.

Let's start with navigation, since it's had the most changes. The map has been entirely removed. Instead, when you interact with a character or an event, your location will be moved to that character's location. I've added new locations to account for this, mostly character's houses and a location for the school which is no longer going to bar you from interacting with characters. You'll no longer be able to call people to your room, which will mean you'll get to interact and see more of the world than you previously were.

As for character interactions, I've scrapped the old system that included events and hangouts. Instead, you'll only be able to interact with a character when they have an event active. You'll also only be able to interact with them once per day. I've scrapped the old time gated system between events so you'll no longer need to wait a few days just to trigger certain character's events. Events will behave very similarly, but are typically sex events or events that are triggered for Lily. Actions will also behave similarly to interactions. Interactions, events, and actions all have their own button in the top menu to use them. Events and interactions will have lower opacity if there is not currently an event or interaction available.

Days of the week will no longer be tracked and expenses will be deducted at the end of every day. I've adjusted anything that relies on the old system to keep a similar behavior and feel.

Finally, I haven't worked on it yet but I'll be updating the top menu hint system with a new set of hints. The new hints will be for requirements that the player must complete, like performing an action in a video or purchasing an item from the shop. They'll be less common, since a lot of the old hints just informed the player that an event was active and told them how to see it. That's no longer necessary, as the events and contacts(interactions) buttons handle that much better.

These are only the sandbox changes for this update, as I still have other modifications and changes to make, such as adding requirements to dream scenes to prevent spoilers. Still, the update is coming along well and I'm glad to be making progress as quickly as I am. Make sure to check back in tomorrow for a poll to name the bar.

Until then, enjoy the new set of wallpapers featuring Zoey training Jamie to use her virgin hole to take some surprisingly large objects. You'll find the downloads folder for the 4K wallpapers at the end of this post. See you all in the next update!
