Alright, I have no idea how much time I have in the coming days. The game is currently in a rough alpha state where the core loop seems to be working well. So right now I'm thinking: why not just release it and I can just upload new builds as I go. So that's what I'm doing.

The current build has a full tutorial quest and two more story quests. There are two celebrities you can unlock, one being Emilia Clarke who guides you through the game, the other being one you cán unlock (or miss) by playing the radio station quest. The last quest gives you several options of which not all are complete, but it can be completed. It'll give you another quest where you have to pick up a girl from a hotel. The quest activates but it isn't coded/written yet so after you've finished the first two quests, the game gets very boring right now.

Ranged combat works, melee doesnt. Conversations are still bare but working. Sex is without text, but mechanics work. Random events work 95%. 

Known issues:

• Sometimes companions fight one more round after all enemies are dead
• The boss fight has weird text sometimes due to how I set up the names
• Melee combat is still broken, shooting works
• Only Santa Monica works well for scavenging
• Beverly Hills is empty
• Seduction mechanics are working but the sex scene isn't there yet
• Random quests setup works but you can't complete them yet
• Untested on mobile so far
• Some images might not work due to itch.io naming structure. Please report these!

Cheats can be turned on in the settings menu and accessed from the sidebar. You'll have to play the tutorial until the sidebar unlocks.

I know it's a little janky still, but that's the goal of an alpha, right? I think it offers a nice chance to get to know how the game will work and play and finally releasing it takes some stress off for me while I continue on the game :) Whenever I add something that's worth sharing, I'll upload it and you can play around with it. So I'll be doing many small updates from now on, improving the game step by step. This way you guys can give feedback better.

Anyway, hopefully I will release the first update to this before the year's end. If not, you now got the password and I won't be changing it for january, so you can log in and play even if you cancel your subscription :)
