PMW update for early January (Patreon)

Hi all, I hope you've all had a good start to the new year. I've been a bit under the weather so I'm just as behind on my posts and forum replies as I was in December. Still, the good news is that I've received the first commissioned scene: one based around the PC taking a cooking class.

This will of course need to be added alongside a new cooking skill. I also decided to do some rework of the cooking action at home, but on reflection I decided that this would be improved if the preceding town-date scene handled things a bit better.

After writing up a set of planned changes, I came to the conclusion that it could use a complete rewrite, so that's what I'm doing. The new towndate will have a ton of new content and much clearer game mechanics.

Specifically, it'll go through a series of specific steps instead of your date just tossing out seemingly-random actions. There'll be a main date activity (dinner, watching a film, visiting the porn cinema etc) sandwiched by "meeting your date" and "in town after the date" sections.

So, the next release will be quite a big one. There's the cooking class and also the new date which is essentially a large mostly-new scene - I'm actually writing it as a separate scene because the old one is very outdated and I'll copy the most interesting content from the old scene in at the end.

Progress has been going reasonably well - I've got a medium-sized scene's worth of content in there already and the new date isn't even close to being finished, so the final version will hopefully be nice and chunky - something people can replay and enjoy rather than being something they rush through on the way to make-outs at home.

I haven't forgotten about PMW - I want to get this new date scene done first though because I've a lot of ideas and I want to get them down before moving my focus onto something else. PMW will be coming up soon after that. I've actually just had a 2nd commissioned scene through, so I think I'll put that out by itself as a mini release as 0.4.28 quite quick after the big 0.4.27 and then do PMW as 0.4.29 in February.
