Progress Report (Patreon)

Hey all.
TL;DR Progress report, some ideas/ramblings and new character poll.
1) Progress
Mostly I've been working on what community suggestions. Various quality of life changes and balance issues.
What's new? Skill system. In the next dev version it's probably going to be an optional choice between randomly allocating skills or doing it manually(like now).
I removed many of the skills since they are useless, but also adding new ones especially some which can boost likeness levels. I'm testing now how it feels if said skills would be obtained automatically.
For example if you're casting a girl in mostly lesbian scenes, after a while she'll become proficient in that category. Max likeness and some happiness boost...
Also there's now contract work available after you open a company. Which means randomly generated requests that you can fulfill for some extra cash and fans. For example:
X needs (Boy-Girl) scene with (MILF, Redhead) woman with minimum (1000) popularity till next week.
Other scenario is lending your contract models.
X needs (2) (Black Hair) ladies with minimum level (5) for (4) days.
Those 2 are in the game now. You can suggest more scenarios if you want.
After skills and contracts are mostly done I'll release a dev version and continue on managers and other company expansions.
2) Ideas (ramblings)
Changing the whole picking models up from the street. I've been thinking about it for months now.
The long awaited photo studio is coming and it's more "realistic" to convince a girl/guy to take a few naked pics rather than just going straight to hardcore porn.
So they'd start a career there and with time you could sway them into doing more and more stuff. Charisma and money will help with that. Perhaps also your employees(managers). Maybe see their potential only after the photoshoot?
There's also a thing if some models should be limited at just doing erotic photos. More realistic sure, but probably ending in micromanagement hell. At the start it was planned that girls would NOT shoot all scene types. I've omitted that idea and replaced it with likeness %.
Likeness is now randomized at creation which results with in distributed values, but I'm going to change it to something more believable. Should I set some values at 0% and with it forbid the model ever shooting that scene type?
3) Character poll
Long time without new comic-con character so I'm going to set up a poll in the next hour or so.
We all know best girls are from fighting games so we'll go with Street Fighter franchise. All the playable girls to choose from.
That's it for now. Thanks for the support.
