This week I made a minor overhaul on the skill mechanics. As such, Athletics now have a much bigger impact in vore scenarios. The only downside is that if your Athletics skill is too low (like in the beginning of the game), forcing your way out of a pred is going to be pretty much impossible.
Because the Intelligence attribute has up until now done nothing, I decided to add a few things that utilize it. The player now has a new skill called "Investing", and you can improve it by studying at the library (which I also added). Unlike with Athletics or Fitness, the amount of skill xp you gain while improving Investing is based on your Intelligence attribute.
So what is the Investing skill used for? Well, if you ask Jasmine to give you some advice on investing, she'll give you the phone number to her stockbroker, through whom you will gain access to an in-game stock market. The price of each stock changes on a day-to-day basis. This price change is random for stocks you don't own, but for the ones you do own the change depends on your Luck, Intelligence, and Investing skill level.
Whether or not the price of a stock goes up or down depends entirely on your Luck as well as random chance. The amount by which a stock goes up or down depends on your Intelligence and Investing skill. As such, the stock market is best suited for someone with an average to above average Luck.
If you don't want to go into the stock market, you can instead ask the stockbroker to manage a fund for you. Like before, whether her investments go up or down in value depends on your Luck, but the stockbroker uses her own Intelligence and Investing skill while managing your fund. The only thing you need to keep in mind, though, is that she'll take 10% of your fund every day as payment for managing it.
I know this isn't a very sexy aspect of the game, but I thought it would be a fun side thing that the player can get into. :3
