Sneak Peek: Penthouse

No supervillain would be complete without a lair, and the CEO in Quid Pro Quo is no exception.

Some elements of the new character engine are delayed due to current events, so I'm going to try to make use of the extra time by including the first planned patch in version 0.1. The top floor of the office building will be your penthouse apartment, complete with pool, bar, and servants' quarters.

This will allow you to convince your contacts to move in with you (or just spend the night). It won't be an easy task, but anything is possible with the right combination of flattery, cash, and blackmail.

You will also be able to staff your house with live-in servants. They can be hired normally, or acquired from your owned corporations (for example, convicts in your prison who want shorter sentences, or students at your college who are looking for a tuition waiver). Servants will handle cooking, cleaning, DJing, bartending, and anything else you might ask of them.

Because of current events, I don't have a great estimate on when this will be ready for release. The mechanics are all set, but the parts I've contracted out (animations and clothing for the new character engine) are a bit up in the air due to COVID. I'll let you all know as soon as I know, and it's possible that some elements of this change will get cut for the time being because everything else is suddenly ready to go.
