The Repurposing Center (patreon) 0.4.08(a) (Patreon)

Hey everyone, and welcome to a new Patreon build. This current build is currently at 1,203,561 words, and 1817 passages, so about 30k new words since the last update. Where even to start with this talking about this build, other than to thank you all for your patience and apologize for the delays. Still, it's not all bad news, as I think some of the new content should be really enjoyable and create some interesting opportunities for the future.

Between the complicated nature of adding in the new Jess quest, along with issues associated with the foundations of the roommate/room-management system, things went slower than hoped. In the end as I wanted to finally get a build out I had to cut some content from this build that was half-finished relating mostly to the new roommates content (it'll be in a later build when it's done). There were also a couple of elements within the Jess quest which I was unable to get done in time, which I'll cover in more details in a moment.

On a more positive note the Jess quest is now in the game, complete with 9 of the potential routes through it. This includes; a new bad ending, many interactions with various NPC's, options for all kinds of player to solve it, and lasting consequences from the players choice. There is also an option that involves some violence on the part of the player (as polled previously), to help players who really don't want to see that in any way I've included a new option to remove in-game violence. Finally, there are now some early in-game interactions between the player and both Jess and Alice, which are built onto the new room management framework (still in early development). 

Important News -> Due to important ongoing personal life matters I'll be away from regular contact until after the 10th of September. My apologies in advance for the inconvenience, however, after this there should be no foreseen delays for the foreseeable future. Thank you for your understanding ^_^

The main content is; The Jess quest, New interactions with Jess & Alice (robot), The start of the room management system, And the option to remove violent content from the game.

1/ The Jess Quest - You all asked for it, so now Jess is back! (Skip this section if you don't want any spoilers)

===

After a few in-game days upon settling into the facility, when the player leaves their room they will have a sudden encounter with Jess who will ask for their help, having been kidnapped by a facility guard. Worse still, before being snatched away, Jess will let the player know that the guard has a history of illegally smuggling and selling kidnapped trainees outside of the Center.

Players will be faced with a series of choices to solve their issue (or to completely ignore it), the whole matter having a ticking clock of 14 days until Jess disappears forever. Upon completion (at least if you save her), players will also have another serious decision, whether to enslave Jess themselves, take her in as a roommate, or generally leave her alone.

In total there are currently 9 paths through this quest, with 1 Bad Ending (unreachable currently if In-Game Violence is removed), these paths are;

1 - Ignore the quest: Players who wait too long will find that Jess has been removed from the Center with no available way to get her back.

2 - Gary Beaten: Players with an 80+ muscle score (and who don't have In-Game Violence removed) can confront the guard and take Jess from him. Having a lower muscle score will instead lead to the new ‘Bad End’, as their attack on the muscular man doesn’t go over well.

3 - Gary Bribed (Money): Players can pay the guard off to give them Jess, requiring they hand over 10k G.G.P. If they do not reach the amount by the two week deadline, then Jess will still be removed.

4 - Gary Bribed (Sex): Players can pay the guard off with sex to give them Jess, requiring them to service him 10 times, each time costing an energy point. As with the above, not reaching the amount by the two week deadline will still remove Jess. [Note: I still want to add additional content to this route]

5 - Gary Blackmailed: Players can acquire materials to blackmail the guard from either Mari the pickpocket (by completing her own quest favourably to her), or from Lianne the admin (by paying her 5k G.G.P). Confronting Gary with this information can lead to Jess being turned over to you. Both sources of the blackmail give you slightly different information on the quest/lore.

6 - Gary Removed By Davis: Players have one opportunity to bring the topic up with Davis, which will work successfully if they have 25+ relationship with him or are dating him. In this instance Gary will be removed from the Center by Davis.

7 - Gary Removed By Tony B: Players can pay Tony B 5k G.G.P to remove the guard, in the process letting them overhear some interesting conversation between the two.

8 - Gary Pays You Off: Players can instead take a bribe from the guard of 1k G.G.P just to ignore the situation and leave Jess to her fate. Doing so stops you from interacting with the quest further, as the player is now implicated financially in Gary’s business.

[Not Yet Implemented] 9 - Frame Gary: This not yet added path will see the player acquire illegal materials and plant them in the guards apartment. Players will be able to do so when he’s home, but will require the pickpocket trait to succeed without reaching the Bad End (giving players without violence in their game a way of reaching it still). Players will always succeed at planting the evidence during the night.

The Aftermath of this quest if Jess is saved sees the player having 4 choices;

1 - Take no reward: Increased relationship with Jess.

2 - Take a monetary reward: Lower relationship increase with Jess, 3k G.G.P.

3 - Ask Jess to move in with you: Increased relationship with Jess, Jess is now a roommate.

4 - Enslave Jess: Jess is now your slave.

Lots of spoilers above (sorry that Patreon lacks a spoiler tagging system), but hopefully a fun quest for you all too!

2/ Jess & Alice Roommate Scenes - New dorm room interactions with Jess (Roommate & Slave), along with Alice (Robot) have been added to the game. At the moment these options are limited as the full system for them has not been finished, but players can currently; hang out with the pair, see them moving around the room during the day, assign them tasks [unfinished], assign them sleeping locations [unfinished]. There’s still a lot to do here, but this is a taste of the fun features that are in the works.

3/ Room Management System Foundation - Only the foundations of this are currently in the game, but I wanted to explain what is there and what I’m currently working on. So, as of now players have an interface to select where themselves and any roommates/slaves sleep within their apartment. As part of this, each bed has an occupancy limit, so some beds are better than others if you’re trying to cram people in. Players will always be able to fit in their own bed (as the default sleeping location). Secondly, players now have an interface to assign any roommates/slaves they have tasks to undertake throughout the day, this is currently incomplete, but players can see the lists for characters they’ve unlocked, with some options only appearing when specific conditions have been met (such as high relationship levels).

My plans for the future here are to give the player a quick and easy way to interact with their room, which will over time grow into a larger home base location. This will include amassing roommates/lovers/slaves, but will also feature expanding the apartment into a complex of rooms, unlocking various benefits. The kind of rooms that will be unlockable will be such as; a private bathroom (no more paying for showers/tooth-brushing), a kitchen (prepare food or have roommates prepare it for you), a private bedroom (have more space for yourself), extra bedrooms (more space for roommates or slaves), a personal gym (for those who want to train their submissive’s/slaves), a sex dungeon (for training submissive’s/slaves), a prison (for holding untrained slaves), and much more. The hope is that by adding in these expansions the player will have more long term goals available to them to strive for, whilst offering interesting game-play choices on what to get or where to put furniture.

4/ No Violence Option - This was something I wanted to comment on directly after bringing up the topic in a poll recently. Basically, I've been torn between including options where players can achieve their goals through violence (in moderation) which has been requested by fans for years, while also keeping the game happy and upbeat for players who would prefer that. Whilst the majority of respondents didn't mind violence within the game, I've created an option to disable violent scenes/interactions for players, as I really do care about making everyone happy on this point.

I also want to reiterate/clarify a couple of points on my stance on in-game violence. Firstly, I will never include anything involving the player being killed, seriously injured, or tortured in any way, that's just not something I want to write (as can probably be guessed from my very tame 'Bad Ends'). Secondly, any violence towards the player will always be as a direct result of the player choosing a violent option, so you have no need to worry about random violence being directed towards the player within the game's story. Finally, any violence brought about by the player to NPC's will be limited in scope, and will never include killing, serious harm, or torture. I like to keep my content relatively upbeat, that's the tone I generally intend to set, but as I continue to write quests including 'dangerous' characters it does feel reasonable to offer options for the player to solve their problems aggressively. Hopefully that clarifies matters ^_^

Other additions include; A lot of fixes and edits have been included in this build, along with some additional art, and lots of more minor bug fixes too. There have been so many changes I've actually lost track of a few, but I'll do my best to credit every fan assisted bug fix in the change log below :) 

In terms of monthly polls; the winners were the Intensive Dairy ending from the general art poll, and Sonia the alternative little from the ABDL poll. However, due to high interest in Fem-boy content on the general poll and Faye the teachers pet on the ABDL poll I'll be considering both of them again when I have some more time ;)
