House of Desires v0.5 is here! (Patreon)
Content
First things first: thank you. 🙏 This update took a while, and I really appreciate your patience. House of Desires is a one-person project, so every release means a lot of late nights — and honestly, it's your support and feedback that keep me going. I hope you enjoy what I've put together for you. Here's everything that's new.

HEADLINE: The Staffing Agency — hire your dream team
Your girls are the stars, but a great house needs a great crew. v0.5 introduces a living staff job market with 6 roles to hire:
- 🍸 Barmaid — boosts your Bar's nightly income + lets you boost the whole team
- 🥊 Bouncer — fewer incidents, and acts as a content filter: turn away the clients you don't want to see (toggle off BBC, Gangbang, Lesbian or Threesome). Your house, your rules.
- 🎧 DJ — daily mood boost for the whole team + ambient music
- 📷 Photographer — automatically shoots your girls every day
- 👵 House Mother — keeps team morale up and auto-protects girls from burnout
- 🏋️ Coach — manages your girls' progression: auto level-ups, Gym training and skill growth, so your roster keeps improving on its own
Every candidate is procedurally generated with a star rating, signature tags (Party girl, Ex-boxer, Yoga teacher, Frugal, Demanding…), and a salary that matches their worth. The market shifts every single day — new faces arrive, others leave. Hunt for hidden gems: a cheap 2★ with two great tags can outperform a pricey 4★. Free daily refresh, or reroll a single post on demand.
Staff unlock through the rooms you own — buy the Bar to hire a Barmaid, the Security room for a Bouncer, the Gym for a Coach, the Photo Studio for a Photographer. Build the room, then bring in the right person for it.
And who knows… with some of them, you might be able to take things a little further than a simple working relationship. 😏

NEW: Your phone (early version)
You can now buy a personal phone in the Development Office — a movable, resizable little window with its own apps:
- 😏 OnlyFaps — a relaxing infinite feed to unwind between nights
- 📅 Calendar — rent, staff salaries and upcoming deadlines at a glance
- 📊 Stats — reputation, money, team overview
- ⚙️ Settings — language, sound, video length… and set a custom wallpaper from your unlocked photoshoots
⚠️ This is the first version of the phone — it's cheap on purpose and still light on gameplay for now. It's the foundation for much bigger things to come (Messages with the girls, and more). Consider it a sneak peek. 😉

Development Office — fully redesigned
The whole Development Office got a clean, modern redesign: everything is now grouped logically (Expand / Special Rooms / Extras), with clear cards, costs and effects. Much easier to read and navigate.

More big additions
- Cinema Mode — hide the side panels and watch your rooms full-width, plus a "wall" mode that strips everything for a pure, edge-to-edge video grid. Perfect for late game when Reception runs everything and you just want to enjoy the show.
- Save protection & sharing — your saves are now backed up automatically to your user folder (Windows: `%APPDATA%\HouseOfDesires\saves\`). A browser/cache wipe will no longer destroy your progress, and you can share your save files with other players.
- UI scaling — an interface size slider (Options → Audio & Display), great for ultrawide and 4K screens.

Quality of Life
A big batch of comfort improvements, including:
- One-click "Boost all" (handled by your Barmaid)
- Drag & drop to reorder your special rooms
- "Max" button on level-up to dump all points into one stat
- Tier markers on the Mood & Reputation bars so you can see thresholds at a glance
- Contract assignment shows each girl's success % + key stats
- Hide or reject girls from the agency pool
- Clearer night satisfaction tiers (cyan / gold / green)
…and many more small touches throughout the game.

30+ Bug fixes & balance
A massive cleanup and balance pass, including:
- The "no rest" penalty now scales the longer a girl goes without rest (−5 / −8 / −12), so neglecting the Boudoir actually matters again
- Fixed girls' stats inflating on every save/reload (KLEPTOMANIAC / VETERAN / PERFECTIONIST)
- Threesome/Lesbian 2nd girl now gets full XP, pay, mood & tips
- Gloryhole now correctly awards XP
- Unified "mood" wording across the whole game
…plus many more save, exploit and UI fixes under the hood.
Available on Windows (portable .exe), macOS (.dmg, universal Intel + Apple Silicon) and Linux (.AppImage — new this time, for the few Linux folks out there).
