CHANGELOG
1. Added in size four
2. Remade the owner and most scenes she was in (still going through these)
3. New randomized club backgrounds - required moving mc image (more to be added as we go)
4. Added chance to recover self esteem from socializing in the lounge.
5. Added a self esteem meter
6. Added milking event in the lounge and milking cutscene upon being able to produce milk
7. Added milking items to the store
Development notes:
1. Added size four for all events. We're getting up there in size so I'm having to get more creative with poses and how someone of this size would interact with the world. I'm considering changing the gameplay loop for when you hit massive sizes and you'd be immobile. Trying to thing of what this would look like but we're nearing that point!
2. I had a lot of complaints about the owner so I redid her (went through like six iterations lol). I think she's at a good spot now. I also redid her into scene. I think I left a scene of her in her old style in the lounge interactions but I'll patch that out on the next run though.
3. I wasn't a fan of how the backgrounds were static in each scene so I'm working on creating more and more backgrounds with activity going on. Right now this only takes place on the main floor and I'll add more as patches come in.
4. While self esteem is only a surface level thing at the moment I noticed that you could really only lose self esteem. I decided to give the socialize event an actual use other than providing eye candy so now whenever you socialize there's a chance you'll regain some self esteem.
5. It was requested to add a self esteem meter so I stuck it up on the global bar at the top. As long as you're not in the red you're good. Thanks for the feedback and idea!
6. The biggest addition to this update was milking, another player idea. I had the most fun making these renders (I think you'll see what I mean at the new size) and I'm trying to think of some creative things for more milking scenes at larger sizes. Economy wise it's suuuper broken. Like you could just live off milking yourself if you wanted. I'll do some balancing on the next patch but I wanted to get this out there since y'all have waited long enough. I'm thinking of tying milk quality to self esteem so you get paid more for a higher self esteem.
7. Finally I added some more items to the store, these are focused on the new milking feature. You can increase your milk capacity and milk production. If I end up adding in milk quality then I'll probably create an item for a temp boost in quality. We'll see where we land there.
Thank you all again for your patience with this update. I had a friend living with me these past few months and while I was able to do a lot of development on the core systems with him around we're getting to the point where the foundation is sort of there so I'm having to do more art, which wasn't possible with him right there lol. Well, I guess it was possible but it would have made for an interesting conversation! Anways, he's gone so I can work on this again. Yay! As for what future patches hold. I think I'm going to do an economy balance review then knock out the last little bits of planned features. From there I'll take a step back and get feedback on things and make my roadmap for the next big updates. I do plan to add a new size with each main update till we hit size nine (that's the last planned size. Guess we'll burn that bridge when we get there though.
Thanks again for all the support an patience. Hope y'all enjoy the update!
