1. Beta Version Release
Let's start with the beta version, as the first one is out right now for $10+ supporters. Now, don't go in expecting a polished experience, it is VERY MUCH work in progress. I did however go through it to fix all the major bugs, so in theory it should be fairly playable, but there are 100% still bugs left in there and things can and will change from here until v0.3.
The intention with these Beta versions is mainly to provide more frequent updates, but also just as proof of me actually working on the game. I have added a little text file to the Beta version post that explains how to see all the new content in the game, as some of it can be quite hard to find still.
I did implement the main gameplay loop although pretty lazily, using the cheapest possible solutions so far. Here is what it looks like:
You can make money by working at the Escape Room. You can spend that money on your gym membership to raise your fitness stat. You can spend money to buy gifts to raise your relationship with other characters. And you also have to spend time doing stuff for Uni, to get better grades which then raises your self-confidence, which you need to access certain locations like the Gym Showers and Sauna. Those locations (and some others) are hidden until you unlock them.
Here's the simple Fitness XP notification:
2. Relationships.
Now, I still want to implement the whole dates-idea: repeatable events that allow you to invite characters to the cinema, to the park, to some fancy dinner, just to hang out and watch TV, all kinds of things. Most of these would cost you some amount of money and will raise your relationship with the character you invited.
I want to add some variation to these, so just imagine that if your relationship is above some level, some or all of these dates could lead to sexual acts. Those would be optional, so if you're only interested in some of the characters, that's fine. I want you to be able to raise the relationship levels without ever having to fuck a single one of them.
The current solution of sending them crappy little gifts might just be temporary, as it's really not very exciting at all. But it's gonna act as a sort of fallback solution for the foreseeable future, since implementing all those dates takes a long long time.
Additionally, I think these dates aren't all that important for a functioning open world. That means those won't be in v0.3, but instead coming at a later date. I've only made a single (unfinished) date before realizing this, and I'll probably just make that into a regular little event for v0.3 so as to not let my effort go to waste. You can trigger it in the Beta version right now at any point by heading to Aster's dorm room.
3. Uni lectures.
I only made a couple of them and while I do still like the idea of having these short lectures and quizzes afterwards to raise your grades, they are kinda tedious to implement and let's face it, just not that fun to play. The quick and dirty solution I can build off of? -> Projects.
For now you can just pick a lecture, start a project and from then you have a week's worth of time to work on that project 5 times. After working on it 5 times, you can then submit it early or just leave it, as it will be automatically submitted after the week is up. If you do less than the required amount of work, your grade will either not change or if you have done basically nothing at all, it will even lower your grade.
"Alright, where is the fun in that?" You might ask. Easy: group or rather team projects!
Right now, there are only solo-projects. For the future the plan is to randomly assign you a partner for each project and also double the work required. Those partners can be hardworking students, or they might be super lazy. Some will do their fair share of work, others won't. The fun comes from interacting with the students. I want you to try and somehow convince them to work on the project or reward them for the work they did do. This could be paying them off to do all the work, or you could perhaps use your body as a reward. Stuff like that.
The idea is that different students have different interests, so there is no one-size-fits-all type of solution. Aside from just straight-up paying them that is. Almost everybody is motivated by money after all.
I want there to be male and female students, but having sex with them would always be optional. As with all this, there will probably only be 1 or 2 students in v0.3, but I want to add more afterwards.
4. The Horniness Stat.
I have been getting some good suggestions in the discord for what the effects of this stat could be. I still want to play around with thos, but for now, this is what I've been working on:
Basically Eileen is supposed to learn how to use her powers to make her cock disappear. (Yes, I admit that this is also so I don't have to give her a visible bulge everywhere she goes)
The thing is, she can't fully control it yet, so when she reaches max horniness her cock will reappear basically. I started implementing some little scenes of her dealing with that issue, quite similar to one in an earlier gym event.
I do want to put more variety into it, like sometimes she may get caught jerking off or have alternative solutions to relief herself fitting for that location. Right now, I think I have the basic versions set up for the Park and Sophia's place.
There is other stuff like this planned as well. One silly little idea I'd like to implement is Eileen having wet dreams if her horniness is too high. I think I have to be careful not to make the downsides of horniness too annoying, as right now there is no way for you to easily decrease her horniness.
The obvious thing to do is to implement the ability for her to watch porn and jerk off to it. Later on she is probably gonna be able to booty call characters above a certain relationship level.
That's probably all of the big stuff.
There are some minor convenience updates like inaccessible locations being grayed out on the map. For more details, there is a changelog file in the Beta version listing them.
So let's end it here before I continue rambling on.
Have a wonderful weekend!
