Uncertain Schedule Tomorrow

In addition to short-notice apartment inspection, I have promised my gigantic manly muscles to a task tomorrow that doesn't yet have a specific time in which I'm expected to help. So I don't know exactly when I'll be streaming tomorrow, and when I do stream, it might be a little abbreviated, as I also have to work, but I'll be sure to let you know as soon as I start.

Update 9/1

Man, it's September? When did that happen?

By the by, updated to RAGS version 2.2.7.0. There's a link to it in the changelog on the right.

Major Additions
- Lab is now accessible. I forgot to activate the command. The only thing that should be missing (intentionally) from the lab is the possibility of dealing with the police. Also, the "Unique Outfit" option for successfully completing Maria's request isn't in, because I don't yet have the outfit planned out.

Minor Updates
- Added a couple few new items. There is now a computer available for purchase, with some software for skill increases, and a guitar. Both end up in the kitchen, because the kitchen needed some love.

Bug Fixes
- Makeup should not decrease your non-natural charisma at the end of the day infinitely anymore. Maybe.
- You should not be able to go to the bar more than once a day anymore.

Reported Problems
- The "Go To The Lab" command doesn't do anything. That's actually much better than it not showing up, because I can fix that. First thing tomorrow.
- After the completion of the first mission, Maria leaves, but the exits are not reactivated, which traps you.
- When playtesting myself, I noticed that, when you get to the "meat" of the game, actions and room transitions seem to take forever. I'm unsure if it's just my computer, because I was running in debug mode, or if the game itself is straining. Please let me know if you notice significant (greater than 1 second) delays after any action. I'll have to optimize (again) if it is a problem.

Update 8/31

Didn't get around to the extra objects, but that's for tomorrow. For now, the lab is complete!

Major Updates
- The EH Laboratory is now complete, barring any bugs.

Minor Updates
- You can steal items from the laboratory, which currently don't do anything. You'll eventually be able to sell them for cash, or keep them for special effects.

Bug Fixes
- Somehow, the shoe rack was removed from the foyer. I didn't remove it, so I'm blaming it on RAGS. But it's back.
- Makeup should (once again) work as intended.
- Jewelry can now only be worn if you're not already wearing jewelry in that location. In addition, the silver chain bracelet now works properly (i.e. it can be worn!).

Known Issues
- Apparently I forgot to activate the Go To The Lab command? Dammit.
- Makeup permanently lowers your non-natural charisma at the end of the day.
- You can seduce the guard three times in one day if you play your cards right, this is, obviously, not supposed to occur.

Also, important question: are people able to go to the bar more than once a day? Because you're not supposed to be able to go to the bar more than once a day.

Update 8/30

Some important stuff happened today!

Major Updates
- The lab is mostly complete. You can go through the entire complex (in theory, assuming no bugs), and get into trouble. You can even reach the "treasure rooms" at the end, though the items you get don't do anything (yet). I should be able to get everything else fixed and fully implemented (except maybe the items) tomorrow.

Minor Updates
- One I forgot to mention before: handcuffs. And no, they're actually not (really) sex objects.

Bug Fixes
- The Security Guard encounter should now work properly when he invites you back to his home.
- Non-piercing jewelry is fixed, and no longer requires you to take it off twice.
- Makeup should now properly apply non-natural charisma bonuses and reductions. Should.
- Fixed a bug with the slut sex trait that kept "None" in the sex trait line.

No Stream 8/29

The hurricane has come and gone. The power has been restored. But unfortunately, I still have a lot of stuff to do in terms of clean-up.

I'll be back to streaming tomorrow, but no streaming today.

Sorry about that, folks.

Update 8/26

Finished the security guard, and started on the lab. Unfortunately, the lab needs actual, detailed planning, so I had to stop early today, so I can work on it over the weekend. Note that the list below doesn't seem all that long, and isn't, but individual character interactions are complicated, especially when you're making them lead somewhere.


Major Updates
- None

Minor Updates
- The security guard (Victor) now has his full range of interactions available.


Bug Fixes
- Fixed underwear again. This time brute forced, so it should be working right, goddammit.
- Some typo corrections to parts of Maria's speech, that weren't being colored properly.

Final note: as you can see from the tracker on the right, I'm still about $50 shy of this week's goal. Just as a reminder, if I don't reach the goal by midnight Saturday (EST), then that means no new uploads for next week. And, as always, you can make a request for something to be added to the game when you donate. Reached the goal! Thanks to all donators (and all fans, because you guys are pretty freaking awesome overall). I have received your requests. The following will be added to the game eventually.

- A cursed dildo that lowers arousal more, but carries a risk of pregnancy
- Fertility drugs that increase the chance of getting pregnant
- The bad ending for big breasts will be removed and replaced with something different
- A collar for submissive players

I'll update the requested features page sometime in the next couple of days, with my thoughts on how these may take form.

Also, it's worth pointing out that I am one of the many millions of people in the path of Hurricane Irene. Hopefully it will mostly blow out before it reaches where I live, but if I'm not around on Monday, don't despair, my internet/power may just be out.  If you're wondering what you can do to help those affected by the Hurricane, giving blood is always a good option. Hell, even if you live in Europe, giving blood is a good idea. There's always a need for it.

To anyone else in the path of the hurricane, be safe.

Update 8/25

More small updates, along with some fairly crucial bug fixes.

Major Updates
- None

Minor Updates
- The security guard's interactions have been increased...in bed. Tomorrow, he'll be completed.
- You can now buy condoms "in bulk". Each purchase should increase the number of condoms you have by 5.

Bug Fixes
- Maria now disappears after you accept her mission on day 45.
- The pregnancy test no longer resets your pregnancy status.
- Underwear can be worn again. And this has been tested so I know it works, even.
