Update 2/11, Weekend Edition

What, you didn't see this coming? Surprise! And if you did see this coming, I'm on to you.

Major Updates:
- Something interesting will happen on Day 25, now...

Minor Updates:
- New item: Mail Slot. It's in the foyer. You can check your mail once a day (except Sundays), but it's mostly junk...mostly.
- New location: Gift Shop. It's on the third floor of the mall. There doesn't seem to be anything worth buying in there, but if you had a reason to go shopping there...
- If your health drops below 50 (normal), then you have a slightly increasing chance to wake up feeling terrible. These messages don't do anything other than notify you that your health is pretty bad...so far.

Bug Fixes and Tweaks:
- Arousal now shows as just a percentage on the status bar, so that it takes up less space.
- The nuns now respond properly to being met. In other words, you will not constantly be introduced to them (note: Bianca and Su Li are still incomplete).
- Nuns will also show their proper names in choices, rather than always showing Sister Claire. The texts are likely still screwed up, but I'm not worried about those yet.
- The call girl sex assignments will now correctly reflect if your client is male or female, rather than defaulting to male (a lot of things went wrong here).
- Pregnancy effects will now activate properly. Maternity clothes will update their descriptions (only on week 15 currently), and you'll now have to deal with stretch marks (swollen breasts and random, powerful hormone swings will be added later).

Update 2/9

Streamed for 5 and half hours, not bad. Not bad at all.

Major Updates:
- Call Girl job is now available. Currently, it only has the sexual aspects (i.e. getting hired for sex) available. Hopefully, next Thursday, I'll be able to implement the "extra" options, where the player is hired as an escort to parties, or as a temporary, last-minute replacement by a group of criminals.
--> Note: the Call Girl does not have a set schedule. Instead, the way it works is that if you didn't work the day before, you will get a call on your cell phone that day. If you worked the day before, there's a 67% chance of getting a call. If you worked the last two days in a row, there's a 33% chance of getting a call. If you worked the last three days in a row, you will not get a call. Also, if you take a job you don't want to do (such as taking a male client when you're a lesbian), you can get out of working it by...not going. There's no penalty for that.

Minor Updates:
- The Set For Next Promotion action on the testing item will work with the Call Girl job.

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a problem with the breast pump not recognizing when your breasts need to be milked properly. Note that it is possible to milk yourself more than once per day, but you will need to empty the reservoir first.

Update 2/7

Kind of a small update, but it cleared some stuff off my request backlog.

Major Updates
- Wing color will now change based on your morality. There are special colors for very, very high morality (95+) and extremely low morality (1, on a scale of 1 to 100).

Minor Updates
- Your breast description now reflects your current "milking" status if you're lactating. This should be dynamically updated, so you should be able to examine yourself to figure out where you are in terms of needing to be milked.
- Started (started) the process for maternity clothes descriptions to be updated. Currently, they'll update when you get to week 15 of the pregnancy only, which is conveniently when you can start wearing them. Eventually the plan is for them to be updated again at weeks 20, 25, 30, and 35, but I honestly just ran out of steam after writing 40 clothing descriptions.

Tweaks
- Moved the weather description in the status bar to just after the date, so it's easier to see.
- Anything I did in the 2-2 update.

I also worked on the Call Girl job again, but only for about half an hour before I realized that if I went without an update today, I would be lynched. So instead I worked on the above. Call Girl is now about 40% done, I would think. Maybe? Something like that.

In Re: Jobs

There's been a few questions and comments about jobs both here and elsewhere. So I figured I'd clear the air on a couple of issues.

First of all, Thursday streams, which generally go for 4-6 hours, are being devoted to progressing jobs for the foreseeable future. The only way to get them done is to sit down and do them, unfortunately (for me), so a significant chunk of my time is going to be spent doing just that. It sucks for me (I hate working on the same thing over and over), but it's good for you, because jobs have been stagnant for a while, and I need to focus on the core mechanics that I've been ignoring for (seemingly) unimportant stuff.

Second: I specifically want to finish the Eroticism career before I start working on anything else. This isn't as bad as it sounds. Currently, I have to finish the Call Girl job, then add in the Pimp/Brothel Madam job (same job, different approach), the Model and Supermodel jobs, the Porn Actress job, and the Bartender and Club Manager job. This sounds like a lot, I know, but it really isn't that bad. The model job is more or less a non-sexy extension of the Nude Model job, and the Bartender job won't be terribly difficult to do.

Third: That fourth job folder, the black one that talks about the Services job? That's going away. Instead, I'll be setting up what I'm calling "bonus" jobs. These are basically hobbies/part-time jobs that you elevate to full-time jobs over time. So, for example, if you buy a maid outfit and have a computer, you can advertise your part-time cleaning service on the internet, and work those jobs on your days off or your off hours. Build up enough of a reputation, and you can do it full-time, where it replaces your current job. These bonus jobs will not be promotable, but instead, you'll set up the job to work around you. If your cleaning service gets really busy, you can hire another employee, for example. If, on the other hand, the cleaning is really only a cover for the service you really provide (you know what I'm talking about), then you might need to alter your outfit to appeal to that clientele, and they'll definitely be interested in the "optional extras", so to speak.

Currently, the bonus jobs I have planned are Maid, Thief, and Convent Brothel Madam.

Edit: And possibly Band Member. Gotta get a use for that guitar somehow.

Donation Update

So there have been no donations this week. Just throwing that out there.

I want to point out that while donations are nice, they're not required, and I'm not overly concerned about going one week without donations. I don't want to sound like I'm greedy or anything, because this really is a labor of love at times. That being said, I do my best to make sure that I earn whatever donations I receive. I work pretty hard on this game, usually streaming 8-9 hours a week, and working offline planning things out as well.

And now I sound like I'm begging for money and I don't like it! Argh! I can't win.

Anyway, like I said, one week of no donations isn't that big a deal, but, if you wanted to request an addition to the game, now's a pretty good time.

The Not Update

Yeah, that Call Girl update? About 33% done. Because it dramatically changes the way jobs work (you work from home, essentially), it requires a lot more work to get it into the game. Because that's the only thing I worked on, other than the tweaks, I'm not going to post a version update this time; what I've added isn't even in the game yet, so it would be a pointless update.

I'll be working on Call Girl on Thursdays until it's done. It'll probably take a couple of weeks to get it fully done, but it should be an interesting new job when it's done. For example, while you can be hired just for sex (hey, you're a call girl), some people will want an escort to a fancy party. Will you act slutty or aloof? Some people will want an escort to special events like weddings. What will you do?

But sadly, that's not in the cards for this update. In fact, this update isn't even an update as far as downloading it is concerned...Sorry about that.

Major Updates:
- Call Girl job 33% implemented.

Bug Fixes and Tweaks:
- Fixed the Strip Everything command to only check items that have been bought.
- Changed the Inhibitions reductor testing item command to lower it in 10 point increments, rather than setting it to 25.

Will be updating the Requested Features list some time tonight. Stay tuned (and, as always, let me know if you don't see your request up there).
