Improvements to SoDV (Patreon)

Playing through a full game made me see some improvements I could add.

One change was I expanded the "Eating-Food-To-Prevent-Sleeping" action. Originally, the game just selected your best food item and you had to eat it or sleep... but now when you click, it opens this screen and you can choose which item to eat:

This allows you to save items for gifts, cooking, or sale... rather than eating all your best food!

Thanks to the poll, I've started on Suitor Interactions. So far I've just setup the layout. Nothing is coded yet, but here's an in-game image for reference:

There will be serious coding needed to get this working. I am planning to have certain events trigger the Suitor Interactions. (Meeting Haley will trigger Alex to introduce himself) then the suitor's image will appear beside the Journal. If you click it, a dialog appears. You can choose Bad, Neutral, or Good responses and each affects your Reputations with the suitor, changing future actions/dialogs. As seen in the image, some choices also affect your Time, Energy, Items, Farm, or even block access to women for a day or so... Originally, I wanted to code this similar to the women stories, but it's too complicated with the Rep system... so, I am still figuring that out. It is important to keep these interactions low-key and optional (in case players don't care about other suitors) so if you ignore the man image, it'll just choose the neutral option, causing no change to the game. Positive Rep will actually help you. If the suitor likes you enough, you can delay or even stop him pursuing the woman. He might give you gifts. Negative Rep will result in Fights, Farm Sabotage, or Item Theft... Haven't quite figured out WHY a player would want that... Haha.... but, one idea is the suitor would become more focused on the MAIN woman (to try and spite you) and stop dating the other two. So, the player would effectively block the secondary sex-acts, and only need to focus on getting vaginal sex first (which requires no special skills to unlock) That would work for Sam, Shane and Elliot but not Alex, Harvey, or Sebastian... I'll have to think more about it.

I also noticed the main menu images haven't been updated since before the hair was redone, so I re-did all those. I also changed when they show. Originally, it just showed them in order. So: Undress, Sex, Friendship, Perverted, Rebellion, Obedience... meaning if you unlocked the Male body first (RB), then made her your roommate (FR), it would continue to show the Male body. Now, I've setup a ranking system that changes the main-menu image based on your in-game actions. So, if you unlock the male body, it shows on the main screen, but if you turn it off in the settings, and put the bondage wear on, the bondage image would show up instead. If everything is off, then the undressed images shows... and so on.

The game will be updated for $5 patrons next weekend. I hope to have at least the main Suitor Interaction working for each woman. Alex for Haley, Sebastian for Abigail, and Sam for Penny.
