v0.10 Progress Update
Added 2018-10-02 05:09:12 +0000 UTCThis is just a quick update looking at some of the work I've done on v0.10 over the last few days. First, a big thanks to everyone who left a comment or suggestion on the current sex system. I've read through all of them and I'm hoping to have a longer post talking about the additions to the sex system I am planning either tomorrow or the day after.
While I'm planning out some of the larger system changes I've been implementing some smaller stuff throughout the game. One of the most pleasing has been an animated fade on clothing when it is removed - all of the calls throughout the game make use of the method now. I've also written a new level to an old event and I added a few new personality dialogue options. Some changes to the sex system have already been implemented, but I'll talk about them in the sex specific post I have planned.
That's all for now. I'll have the Patron reward forms posted tomorrow for everyone who is a $10 or higher patron!

Couple of ideas/requests: Any chance of getting options in the menu for some gameplay adjustments? For example, sometimes it feels like the random events happen way to rarely. Would be nice to have the option of increasing or decreasing the odds of random events. Does the outfit export / import work? I see the option to export to a file but can't figure out how to load the outfits into another save file.
2018-10-05 02:26:10 +0000 UTCRandom thought: as your characters evolve ever more complex behaviors, any thought to farming out that logic to an external module? I'm working on a system called "clay" which is geared for text adventures, but it would be trivial to add a mechanism to allow Ren'Py to throw interactions over the wall and format some sort of response that would be natural for Ren'Py to read back.
2018-10-04 18:56:23 +0000 UTCDoes the serum boost any of their work skills? Part of their "do-I-quit" calculation is how much they are paid vs. a theoretical value calculated from their stats so if you boost those stats they might suddenly be unhappy with their pay. I think this is poorly explained so I may modify it to only consider original stats and not serum bonuses.

2018-10-04 02:57:31 +0000 UTCHey! My employee are quietly walking off the job! Some mornings, a random employee just doesn't show up. I go downtown looking and there she is.. Happiness in the 140's, Loyal (or better), but just gone. I'm wondering if I just developed a new serum and as soon as they take it, they stop showing up? Is this a bug or intended crisis?
2018-10-03 22:36:47 +0000 UTCOooo... Yes! THIS! :)
2018-10-03 14:41:21 +0000 UTCIt's a very good thought too! I'm planning on breaking down the "seduce her" option into a number of different approaches you can take, so the "standard" sex approach where you flirt and convince her to sneak off and have sex might take a full time chunk while a "quicky" sex approach might require higher sluttiness/obedience but not take up any actual time.

2018-10-03 05:53:36 +0000 UTCI've been meaning to look at doing some image compression for a while but haven't gotten around to it. At it's most aggressive it would let me drop image file size by a factor of 10, likely without any major loss in quality. Final game size is something I'm not sure of yet.

2018-10-03 05:49:26 +0000 UTCI think "spread your seed," like "tongue twister" counts not by the number of *times*, but by the number of *partners*. In other words, to increment the counter, it needs to be a new girl.

2018-10-03 01:44:47 +0000 UTC? Ornery is temporary, why do you need a serum to undo it?

2018-10-02 20:08:44 +0000 UTCWill we get anal content in 0.10?

2018-10-02 14:35:23 +0000 UTCI seem to also be seeing a bug? I have the "spread your seed" goal and - though I not pulling out (either doggy or missionary) the "seed count" stopped incrementing with one count to go. It looks like I'm seeing the same thing with Obedience. I'm not pulling out when asked to and yet the obedience count will not increment by one, even though the floating status message reports +1 Obedience. Anyone else seeing this?
2018-10-02 13:28:55 +0000 UTCI did some play testing with a new rule. Every time I had a 'session' with a girl, I used the "wait here" function afterwards. Essentially, I wanted to see what play would be like if a time chunk advance for every sex session. Um...IMHO it's way better! Doing this self limits stamina, which is more realistic. I mean IRL, you could maybe have sex many times in a day, but eventually you would run out of 'day' and could do it only so many times.. It makes deciding on having a session much more important and almost eliminates "routine", "everyday" stat padding sessions! Just a thought..
2018-10-02 10:38:09 +0000 UTCdear Vren, can we please have a serum mod to undo all the traits they gain like ornery?

2018-10-02 08:20:05 +0000 UTCHow big the end game is going to be, in terms of gb? Also, are you planning to decrease the memory space of the game for those who use the mobile version?
