Progress Report #114 - v32b is close (Patreon)

Hey lads!

Yep, delays are a part of this project, so I doubt that many people still get surprised at this point. Kidney stones got in my way (as usual), but also scope of the update. I was really thinking about not releasing v32b at all and move the stuff into v33, making it richer, but it felt bad, so I decided to keep my promise and try releasing v32b, since it has many crucial bug fixes, and I always feel bad when you encounter bugs, since I aim to make this game as bug-free as possible. Another important change is 3 guys being boyfriend material (Albert, Kevin & Rick), and here's where I underestimated the workload (and bugs), because it didn't go as smoothly as I anticipated. I wanted to add some sex scenes connected to being in a relationship with them, and, in addition to work, bugs started coming out, so testing & fixing, testing & fixing, testing & fixing... Another reason is not touching sexual features of the game for around 2 months, so I got a bit rusty and it shows now. Office helps me big time, since I can concentrate there (oh, the ultimate silence!), and almost got all the stuff I needed, but when shit hits the fan and my health drops suddenly, I'm forced to work from home.

The idea behind the BF events was as follows - Albert can go on a date to the Kevin's Diner, leading to sex scenes in the toilet cabin. Kevin will trigger his sex scenes as Jane works in the diner. Rick will "hunt" Jane across The City, doing it in random places. Ben already has drinking event that adds bonus choices while being Jane's BF. I created too many events and I won't have time to finish them all in v32b, but it's undecided which will make it to the v32b in the end, although each character with get at least one. And since it's RPG, each boyfriend will bring a small bonus to the table to sweeten the deal, so Albert means no rent, Kevin doubles salary, Rick has a bonus dialogue option that increases Lewdness, while Ben has its variant for Charm instead.

I'm also working on v33 & pregnancy feature simultaneously with v32b, and by looking at the amount of work left, I'm starting to get anxious that I won't be able to release v33 before Christmas... Anyway, I'll try to release v32b around Wednesday-Thursday, if possible. And I'll let you know later if v33 gets delayed until January.

It's a tradition now that each year I take the last week of the year off (December 24th - January 1st), since Christmas, family time and so on. This way I can also catch a breath, recharge my batteries and enter the new year with my mind being ready to work.

Cheers!

EDIT: Wednesday-Thursday release date is for Patreon/SubscribeStar only, of course. itch.io will get it few days later, and then public release will be on December 23rd.
