Quick Update (Patreon)

Hello everyone ^_^

Just wanted to drop a quick status update about the week because there hasn't been an Alpha build out yet. The short version of this update is that so far this week's schedule is going fine, and that I'm likely heading towards a Saturday night upload of the new build.

The longer version of this status update is that my original plans for adding in a gym to the game finally have sprawled a little (a bad habit of mine). Now, I've wanted to add in a gym for a long time, with the muscles and weight stats being added to the game around a year back, but set backs at the time threw the plans way off and led to me stopping that area of content until now.

When sitting down to add in the new gym, whilst originally I was planning on adding in a more simplified version of it, in the end I decided that it would just take more time for me in the future to deal with refitting the gym into what I really wanted (experience with the makeup system and a few others has driven that home clearly enough). 

What I've been adding instead is on top of basic exercises, the player will be able to set up exercises that they'll undertake at the beginning of each day (like the makeup routine or the hygiene routine). These morning exercises will still take up the players first action 'points' up like they normally will, but the benefit is that the player doesn't have to micromanage their routine as much and the morning shower routine option will be played out after it for convenience.

There's also two new NPC's being added in to man the gym, which made sense to me after my recent forays into doing that with the maid store. One handles the mornings, one handles the evenings, pretty simple time division to keep the environment slightly less static. There's also an in-game charge for buying membership or exercising without a membership to the gym, which should add another small money sink to the game.

Overall, I'm happy with how it's progressing, but seeing as how I've been a little quiet the last few days (not to mention not having put out an Alpha - the reason being that the content is unfinished and I don't like putting Alpha's out with bugs that harm the general play-through) I thought it was important to just let you all in on exactly what I'm working on ^_^

Other than a few more commissioned art pieces coming back to me in various states of completion, I think that's basically everything going on at the moment. 

Thanks for reading, and happy gaming ^_^
