Devlog for all you wonderful readers:

• Removed the Constantin wait function as it is only going to cause problems.

• Added more ways for Zack to acknowledge your company, if you’re dating him, meaning less chance of him breaking up with you.

• The questDays variable should now start at one instead of 0 for returning players, immediately beginning the countdown to new quests.

• Socializing in the bar will now advance time every other time you socialize.

• Added a new interaction to socializing in the bar, before afternoon. This interaction comes with a fun scene.

• If you don’t have any working experience with the cafe, taking the bar job first now means you have to go through a small training period. This will last for a few shifts before Jason pulls you into his office to promote you to regular bartender.

• Added better tips to the bar job if you’ve been promoted.

• Shifted some exisiting scenes in the bar job, so that you can now only see these once you’ve been promoted.

• Added a new character: Tommy! He appears in the bar, where he will approach you. This is an extremely rare event, and requires you to have been promoted in the bar. After meeting tommy initially in the bar, he will give you his number from which you can call him to pick you up and take you to his apartment. His apartment features a bedroom, a kitchen, and two bathrooms. There’s fun scenes in his apartment.
