v0.15 Progress Update
Added 2019-03-15 07:48:18 +0000 UTCI've just got a quick progress update for tonight to keep you all up to speed. A couple of days ago I started ripping out the old serum system and rewriting all of the stuff that needs to be rewritten. The broad strokes were done relatively quickly and I'm now in the process of remaking all of the existing serum designs using the new system. Two of the main improvements I've noticed immediately are:
1) There are no more arbitrarily named, unexplained status effects like "Depressed" or "Ornery". Those effects are now explicitly laid out in each serum trait as "-2 Happiness/Turn" or "-2 Obedience/Turn". I hope this makes the effects more transparent and predictable.
2) Having separate effects for serums being applied and removed opens up a world of new possibilities. It will be much easier for me to code in serum traits that change personalities, adjust body types, or affect other active serums. Once the mechanical work for this update is done I'm hoping to spend some time introducing a bunch of fun new effects that take advantage of the improvements.
That's all for now, I'll check in again in a couple of days with more progress!

I have some suggestions for hair colors that I have tested, also for clothes and a small list of sample clothes that in my opinion fit in well, especially for more business focused attire.
2019-03-15 23:00:18 +0000 UTCIn previous versions it seemed that I was required to do a fresh start whenever I made changes to certain serums traits or added entirely new serums, for example I added "Bimbo" to a serum before that was officially in use. Will this change make that no longer needed and also easier for people to implement serums of their own in general? Also, would it be possible to add additional hair colors to the random pool. I find it that since the change to skin tones the hair and clothing colors seem to not match that well. And finally, an update to the master wardrobe would be nice , maybe have a collaborative list that players can make additions to and export / import into their games. I noticed that after exporting clothes to the export.xml list the only way to have them in play thereafter was through adding it to a default wardrobe list e.g lily's or master, maybe an Import clothes from the Exported list ( unless I have missed that ).
