Brief Update on Build 0.5.0 (Update 2) (Patreon)

Hi everyone ^_^

Welcome to another weekly build update, covering what I have planned for the upcoming build. This is mostly an update on my work on the Apartment System Overhaul. So far I've added in the construction/furniture store (some parts are still in progress but it is generally complete), added in the new inventories and variables to cover the new apartment system, and have been working on overhauling older systems to work with the new apartment system. On top of that I have fully finished the initial implementation of the Trainer Help Desk location, which will allow players to opt into Trainer content in-game, and also customize those Trainer experiences a little (often at an in-game cost).  

Mostly I'll still be concentrating on the apartment system this week, however, if possible I still want to try and get some of the things I missed doing last build done. Therefore, I'll be continuing with Tilly and the Deg Brothel job encounters until they are both complete (or at least robust in terms of content for the Deg Brothel job). I'm not sure how far I'll be able to get with the extra content, but I could possibly get a little done.

As such, my major plans for this build are;

• Apartment System Overhaul (continue) - The long awaited apartment system will see the player being able to buy new rooms to expand their apartment. The costs of these rooms will vary, as will their usefulness, with the first rooms added to the game being; the living room, the bathroom, the kitchen, and the slave dungeon (though I won't be working on the slave system this update). Amongst other things NPC's who live with the player will take advantage of the new space to walk around (though won't move during a time slot) and have new interactions based on the room. I have a lot of plans here, so bear with me a little.
  
  So far I've managed to get some work done on converting matters over to the new system, along with coding the new inventories for storing furniture/decor/customizations. This has been a big task, but we're getting close to the new rooms being added.
• Apartment Image System - To go with the apartment system overhaul is a cool new image system to display what your room looks like. Certain room upgrades and pieces of furniture will be shown in the image, along with wall and floor customizations made by the player.
• Furniture & Carpentry Store (continue) - A new store will be added to the game to sell furniture and room expansions/upgrades. The store owner will be Piper, a friendly (if slightly crude) tom-boy.
  
  At the moment, I've added in the options for adding new rooms and upgrading them, and the general interactions. I'm still working on the furniture section of the store (partially complete), and on the customization purchases (will allow the player to swap between various appearance options for elements of your room e.g. walls, floor, etc.).
• Tilly Quest (part 1) - The first part of Tilly's personal quest will be tracking down someone who knows more about her past, and then convincing them to talk to you about it.
• Degradationist Brothel Watersports Encounter - Another new Deg Brothel job encounter, this scene will see the player used as a public urinal.
• 
  

The other things I'll be looking to work on potentially in this build are;

• Degredationist Brothel Encounters - An area of content I left unfinished, but always intended to expand on, I want to double back around and add more encounters to the Degredationist Brothel job. Eventually I want to have at least 5+ encounters on each branch of the Degredationist Brothel, potentially breaking the main path on the Degredationist Brothel further so that the player has more choice in what fetishes they encounter.
• Player Scene Images Overhaul - This one has been on the back burner for a while, but down various content paths I've saved up a selection of alternate images featuring the male and or female player stand-in. My hope is to change the code to allow players to select whether they see these images or not, but also select whether they only see one gender version of the images, and also be able to select whether it only shows the appropriate image to the player's current genital situation.
• Clothing System Edit - Something I've needed to get done for a while, the current clothing classification system has some real issues. I'll be reworking how various outfits are classified (so the game can better differentiate between them), going through the entire existing clothing list to reclassify them. This will also allow me to factor clothing (and accessories) into the style calculation, letting me calculate work payment bonuses with them.
• Add New Outfits & Underwear - I've got a few big batches of underwear and outfits still to add to the game. I've been putting them off mostly because I want to get the clothing reclassification done first, but if I can get that done I'll start adding these too. The clothing sets I have saved up include; Pet-Play themed outfits, Hucow themed outfits, degrading/prostitution outfits, some sexy outfits, clothing for the Fem/Sissy Trainer content, and some ABDL outfits. There is also a big batch of general underwear images.
• Underwear Store - Seeing as I've got a lot of new underwear images to add to the game, and so far only one real underwear store (that also sells other clothes), I've decided to create a second underwear store for the game. The new store and its owner are already featured in the Fem/Sissy Trainer content for those who are curious.
• ABDL Clothing/Accessories Store - Having never gotten around to adding in a specific ABDL clothing/accessories store, this too is something I want to get added into the game. The store owner for this one has already been polled, with the artwork ready, so hopefully it shouldn't take too much effort to add this location to the game.
• Fem/Sissy Trainer (Continue) - I'm not sure if I'll have much time to work on the Fem/Sissy Trainer this update. But if I do, then I'll be deciding on one of the stage 3 branch paths and working on that.

Things that have been completed so far;

• Trainer Consultant
• Fem/Sissy Trainer Experience Customizations
• Strap-on Impregnation

There were no art polls for last month, but I'll be doing my best to ensure that I get polls out soon. I'm also happy to announce that winning Patreon 4th Year Anniversary  poll result is for me to move the Slave School & Education System up  the schedule (and I saw the big interest in the Dairy too and will do  my best fitting it back into the schedule where I can). As for the  winning special room for the apartment expansion, people picked by a  large majority the Games Room (with the Garden, and the Library coming  in 2nd and 3rd place respectively - I'll see what I can do with both).

Hope you all are excited, and happy gaming ^_^
