Full Change-log:
- New day of the week system. One week consists of five days. The first four days are school days. The fifth day is not a school day.
- Added a day of the week check to various locations around campus. Interacting with the "sparkling" calendars will remind you what day of the week it is.
- New saves now start on the fifth day of the week. Existing saves will be on the fifth day of the week, regardless of how many days have passed. You do not need to start a new game. Days of the week will advance on old saves the same as they do on new saves.
- You are now expected to attend class on days of the week 1-4 during morning and noon periods. You can choose to skip class with any interaction that would advance time. You will be prompted with a confirmation so that it shouldn't ever happen by accident.
- Skipping class now increases a hidden counter based on your current General Magic level. The higher your level, the less punishing. At the max GM level of 5 (currently not available), you will no longer be punished for skipping class. You're basically a master wizard at that point anyways, right?
- New map for principal's office.
- Detention map reusing GM classroom. There are currently 4 possible events for detention, 1 with a mini-scene if your inhibition is low enough. The events cycle instead of being random so you can see them all without complication.
- You will now be taken to the principal's office at the start of a school day if your class skip counter goes over a threshold(15). If it is the fifth day of the week or you manage to end the day in a location other than your dorm room, this event will be delayed until the next school day.
- A new spanking scene is available during the event of reaching too many skipped classes. This comes with an immediate -5 to your counter as well.
- Detention is now an option during the event of reaching too many skipped classes. Your class skip counter will reset to 0 and you will be expected to attend detention during evening of the same day.
- Added a game over (expelled) for skipping detention 3 times.
- The placeholder level options for the Ruins of Caprice should now show properly for level 26+. There are no actual new levels. There isn't any reason to level grind to 26+. I added the class skipping mechanics to the ruins and quickly fixed the placeholder options from not showing while I was at it.
- Minotaur functions are now available. Some have requirements. Needs to be summoned and in dorm room before you can talk to him.
- New side-quest from Minotaur's Event button.
- New "hotdogging" scene with Minotaur.
- New masterbate to porn option via laptop. It's basically the same as the watch porn scene but with an extra image and text. (The main purpose here was to fix the 90 to 80 inhibition issue that I addressed in the last update.) Buy the laptop at the bazaar, install it in your dorm room, then interact with the laptop to access the scene.
- New bit of dialog with Vivi about the Minotaur scene. After viewing the scene, use the "confess cheating" option with Vivi. This feature will continue to grow as new scenes are added. It will be used for the other datable NPCs in future also. They will have different reactions, of course.
- Added a save update NPC by the "!" sign next to the main door to the school. This is for anyone using a save from one of the early versions. If you see no images on the new spanking scene, talk to this NPC. It will also update your save for some future content.
Regarding spa scenes not advancing time: I intended for the spa to be a quick heal spot to be used in between ruins runs. With no time advance, it lets you do more runs before having to sleep. Plus, you're paying for it, it should be the "better" type of heal.
