Update v0.5.7 (Patreon)

Hello friends! Yet another update! This one brings a really interesting addition to your cheat menu - under the dev tools section, you'll now be able to manipulate the variables directly from your game! Please only do so if you know what you're doing, or with explicit help from me. This update also includes a new job - the library job :) Check it out.

If this shows up with a 404 error when you click the button, please try again, try in an incognito window or clear your browser cookies (note; this may remove your save game - only use as absolute last resort) Otherwise wait a bit for the website server to update - that should also work.

• Added more places you can find a cat.

• Hold on to your cat! Reduced the chance of finding a cat while resting from 1/1 to 1/250.

• Showering the first time in a day will not advance the time. Showering any time after that in a single day will advance the time by one block for each shower. This means you get one “time-free” shower a day.

• You can now shower at night ONLY if it is your first time showering that day. It will not advance a time block

• You can now shower at Ottos apartment after unlocking it.

• You can now put your cat up for adoption at the animal shelter in the Outskirts

• Changed structural code in the showers to widgets instead.

• Fixed a bug that would set corruption to [number not a number] if you quit the bar job.

• Changed stat increase in the club from old to new metrics

• If you reside in Zacks apartment while discovering the mansion, Zacks apartment will now no longer become jealous and unavailable.

• If the cat bug persists, please sleep once and check again. Sleeping once should set some missing variables in your save, thus fixing this.

• Rent with Zack will now increase periodically. It will cap at 1800, but until then you better find a way to increase your money!

• Added a new job! The librarian! Help people around the library, sort books and help with reservations. Perhaps you’ll meet someone interesting?

• Restructured the passage list for easier improvement and overview (This is backend only and will not affect the game in any way but positive improvement)

• You can no longer invite people you haven’t met to live with you in the luxury apartment. Chloe now also requires a significant amount of RP to be invited to the luxury apartment.

• If your loaded game doesn’t allow you to find anywhere to sleep, go to the town street and scroll down to the bottom - then click “Fix apartment bug”. It will fix the bug and reset the time block to allow you time to find an apartment.

• Added a bug squasher input bar to the dev tools section for Patrons. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. This tool will allow you to dynamically change stats. It will also (likely) allow you to fix your save if you’ve encountered a game-breaking bug. Wrongful use may break your game, so please be careful when using it, and always consult on discord first, unless you’re absolutely sure you know what you’re doing.

• Nerdy specs

  • As a special “spec” for this update, I’ve decided to include the character count too: 631.120 characters written for the game so far. Yowza!

  • 86.270 words! (Patron version)

  • 2.229 words added!

  • 747 passages (Patron version)

  • 28 passages added

  • Special thanks to Taulion for playtesting and helping with this update!
