Build 0.15 of News desk (Patreon)

Hey everyone!

Delivering on the 5th!  (Give or take a month...)  It sucks to have had to skip a build but it will be nice to reset to the right date.  Since the date kept slipping in the past and I wanted to keep giving the same average amount of content each build, I kept being in a loop of lateness.  Hehe.

On top of having the first Cassandra/Tiffany scenes, this build will also have a good few tweeks to make it a better game.  Having the opportunity to have more “Generous” cards at the start should help you get a foothold against Cassandra and the inclusion of a new card that needs influence to be used will also help you finish the fights faster when you’re weak.

I also made some more changes to remove a bit of edge at the start and put some pressure on you as you advance.  I also made it so that when Chad blocks ambushes for you, it doesn’t kick you back into town.  It now goes right to an event, streamlining the game much better.

Lots of little things changed so if you spot a bug, please give me a head’s up as I checked as much as I could but one could have easily slipped through.  Because of the changes, it would probably be good to restart a game to have the full experience and evade weird situations.

Look in the OP for the free 0.13 build links. 

The deets:

- 3 of HER cards (intern, wallet and investigation) will start at their lowest level at the beginning of the game.

- Those same cards will become more powerful as you win glory.

- HER "reputation" card will drop in power as you continue to blackmail her.

- Switched the removal conditions for intern and appearance cards.  (This means that you only need to tap one ally to remove a card at the start of the game, allowing you to play more with your allies.)

- 3 new Cassandra/Tiffany scenes.  (Totally skippable if it's not your thing.)

- 1 new Cassandra scene.

- 1 new CG (Emily gets more work).

- 1 new CG (Be nice to Emily).

- re-added an event at the start of the game to be able to get more "Generous" cards.  It was removed by mistake at some point.

- added 7 new events.  Some for early and some for later gameplay.

- added a new card for you.

- streamlined the process when Chad blocks an ambush for you.  Instead of giving you a message and then making you reclick the button for another event, you now get the scene that Chad protected you and it goes immediately to another event.

So that’s a nice big update for you guys.  ^_^  Thanks so much for being patient as I dealt with my day job and navigated the holiday season!

I’m not going to do a build update next week as nothing much will have changed so I’ll write my plans here.  I’m going to write some more Cassandra scenes as to have them on the books for when I want to do more Cassandra/Tiffany scenes.  I’m also going to continue doing more planning for my next game.  It’s been too long since I had time to do that.

Have a great week!
