Life Sim Stamina Update (Patreon)

The 'location' system is functional - characters can split up and perform different actions on seperate timers and meet up later.

This functionality is already pretty nifty (you can level up a character waay faster while another works compared to the vanilla game), and will be necessary tech for later systems.  Within the next few updates, minutes will be added to the time system, and activities will have more realistic time costs - but will consume stamina to perform.

What's left for me to do in this update is finish implementing the artwork - which is fortunately linear work so It'll be finished soon (for real).

Oriander has created an incredibly generous amount of art, which I'm still implementing into the game.  We're up to over 75 images now combining his art and Ritualist's - so I can no longer simply put the pictures into the twine game itself, as the twine program can't handle that many...

As a result, I need to upload all of the artwork to my magnusmagneto server and link it all inside the game.  I'll also have a zip file version of the game with the art for playing it offline (you'll have to make sure the twine file is in the same directory as the image folder)

Once this is finished, I'll release the game to Early Access patrons.  Since the update is so light on new text content, I plan on adding to it during the EA period.  I'll hold some polls and see what you guys value most.

I'm also going to go ahead and release all of the art to all patrons in a post tonight - to give you all some content to enjoy in the interim.

Here's a rough development roadmap:

Location Update (Split Up system) - paid - release imminent

Stamina Update - paid - target release Aug/Sep

Job System Revamp

Focus System + Intelligence Revamp

Life Sim 4.0 (engine overhaul)

Character Creation + Perks/Traits

Other stuff I'd like to include someday...

- Girlfriend personalities

- Voice acting (optional)

- Expanded NPCs

- Magic / Transfer stuff

- Girlfriend AI

I'd like to thank everyone for continuing to help and follow me for so long.  I hope to continuously improve and create the best content possible for you all to enjoy.
