Inner Circle post for Newlife 0.3.26 (Patreon)

Hi all,

Just a short update for now as I'm quite tired today - sleeping badly again, I think. The next version will be a smaller one than the last two, with the new patreon milestone but also some new event chains that let the player make some female friends without relying on the nightclub.

I'm aiming to have 2 of these, but I'm still just partway through the first so I might switch things around depending on how that proceeds.

My current outline has 6 new events across two chains, but this is possible in a smallish update because the individual events are fairly simple. There'll probably be minimal sexual content in these event chains - possibly none.

Sexual content isn't really the direct aim of these new events although gaining those female friends will help with accessing some existing sexual content such as the new sex scene from last release. Adding sexual paths would likely bloat the scenes out a lot because erotic content has a lot more traits affecting it and is handled in more depth than non-sexual socialisation.

These event chains will focus on specific female colleagues. One will be a shy innocent NPC who's poorly suited to the job. This chain will only be available when you've had at least one promotion, as it involves the pc taking a new hire out to show her the ropes. I'm planning for this npc to end up at a decision point where she either stays in the job or leaves it.

The other is intended as a natural companion for Relaxed player-characters, and perhaps an antagonist for ambitious ones. She'll be a party-girl fond of slacking off and I'm intending to add a recurring event where she's late to work with a hangover and the pc might have to cover for her.
