Release Day + Progress Report
🕑 Added 2025-04-04 18:58:20 +0000 UTC0.9.1.1 for Dossier
It's been a lot of writing over the past couple weeks. One of the most difficult aspects of approaching this release has been where to draw a line in the sand. There's a TON of content between the approach, waiting, event and outro, so it certainly needs to be split into a couple releases. So as I've written, I've been trying to find the most natural place to put a release break. As I mentioned the last progress report, the structure for the Big Event has evolved into the following:
The nights up to the event, whether or not Claire reported in and whether or not she's working it. Which means there's a couple small bifurcations and one larger one: Does she try to get herself picked if she wasn't selected beforehand.
This is then split up into the three sub-paths: is she a working girl? bargirl? dancer?
Then there's the day 'of' the Big Event with an EROS check-in and plan of action (if she reported in to them first). If she's not working the Big Event, she can make a choice of how she wants to approach being an agent in the field on that evening.
The night of the Big Event. Either as an agent in the field operating on the outside, included in the Event and operating on the inside, OR blissfully unawares of EROS' desires and potentially just working a night at the club or at the event without contact with the agency. <-- Heading into this portion is where it seems to be the most natural break between 0.9.2 and 0.9.3.
Wrapping up the Big Event. Checking in with EROS or not, confirming results and next steps.
Meanwhile (when my brain needed breaks), I've gone through probably 15,000 or so lines of code and added in missing speech bubbles. That's over half of the existing Club portions and will likely be hitting some more stretches. Soon there won't be any missing sections! I hope this cleans up the play and makes it more interesting on the eyes, easier to read and comprehend.
AND There was one bargirl event that hadn't been added to working at the Club that I'm in process of including.
On the art end of things: we've finished up the last of the new outfits for the au pair arc. It's a sexy little 'roleplay-ey' kind of thing for Claire's wardrobe. A hint of Mary Poppins and whatnot.
All the pixel art for her clothing has been updated to include the new cupsize, HD art to round out in the next month or so.
I've also gone back to the contractor that has been working on Claire's mom and we're going to get her headshots in the game as soon as the work is done. Lots of variations, depending on how Claire looks.
Long story short: probably a couple more days on 0.9.2, which currently has 3 new sex scenes (multiple variations within) and the test run of the Personalities! Because of the latter, new games will be necessary, so I'm going to try and run through and update all the Quick Save Claire's for 'easy access'.
Thanks for your patience!

What was overwhelming in Manila? Let me know so I can help. Fur coat? Whatcha mean? Yes she can become a prostitute in Manila.

There will always be a reason to 'wait' for the next version. We release every couple of weeks with new content, art, etc. There will never be a 'best' time to play the game. The only AI art in the game is a majority of the passage art. The doll and the HD passage art comes from our contractors and Lewd, lead artist.

I played through the beginning of this game a few times but when I got to the other country I kinda got lost and overwhelmed, and think I ran into the end and had to wait, Iโll revisit it. Can you get a fur coat? And can she become a full on prostitute?

So do you recommend waiting for version 0.9.3? In my case, I've started a game but I'm still far from that part, but this game has the peculiarity that we can't use other people's saves because each game is unique and each Claire looks different ๐. It wouldn't be easy for me to start over because I remember the physical appearance settings very well, but there are so many other decisions throughout the game that I don't think I could copy everything 100% if I started over. It seems to me that I should write down every answer and decision so that I don't miss it again. Secondly, I understand someone is working on the HD art, wow ๐ฒ I thought someone did the pixel art and all the HD was AI enhanced, but if not congratulations on the commitment ๐ช๐ป๐ธ.
