Work in Progress Log #2 (Patreon)

First of all, I've finished updating the Compendium. You can preview the changes in a video attached to this post. My main goals in this redesign were:

• Preparing the Compendium for all new systems.
• Keeping it simple to use
• Making a Compendium visually represent a real book.

With that in mind, I've decided to leave the main page almost unchanged, with few exceptions to eliminate anything unimportant. I've completely changed the "Character" page - now it's structured to "parts" - zones that will only display all the aspects of the selected part and nothing unnecessary.

Additionally, with adding new, all old features became more accessible, e.g., a much bigger "Item Selection" screen, the ability to unlock vigors directly in the Compendium, and many more!

At the start of this update, I simply wanted to change the Attribute System a bit, but when I started implementing that, I realized I could add more content. This way, "Skill Points", "Infinite Points" and "Preferences" were added additionally to "Attribute Abilities". Let me quickly explain about those.

• Attribute Ability - a more powerful bonus than the regular ones. It can only be upgraded three times and requires two Attribute Points to unlock.
• Skill Points - new improvement points that will be granted upon leveling up and summoning a girl instead of Attribute Points. You can spend those points on various unlocks.
• Infinite Points - new small bonuses that will be unlocked after improving all Attributes and their Abilities to the maximum. It can be earned endlessly.
• Preferences - a love/dislike of a specific Service. Working at a preferred service can give one of the random. On the other hand, working at a disliked service will provide the opposite.

If this sounds too complex - don't worry. I've tried to split all new content across all "game phases"; that way, all the players, no matter whether starting a new game, playing from mid-completion, or continuing from a save file with a completed game, will benefit from this update.

Since the Character Poll ended this week and I've finished working on everything else, I've started adding characters to the game, including drawing animations and icons & adding an item for a Legendary girl.

After adding them to the game, all that is left to do is some polishing, and after that, I'll release the next version.

That's all for this week's WIP Log. Thank you for reading, and thank you so much for your support!
