0.15 Progress Report — Week 4: Drawing Back the Curtain (Patreon)

v0.15 is the largest update we've shipped. Not by a small margin. Here's what's in it — some of this you've heard, some of it you haven't.

WHAT'LL BE IN v0.15

Super Senior — The full fifth-year arc for Claire's who failed their finals and didn't want to just give up. Fifteen passages, two full sex scenes, more depth about who Claire's mom is, long-distance relationship consequences, and an additional bodies picker (see Zachari's killer update below). This was your content poll winner and we feel we delivered.

Equipment Carry System — Before Claire leaves RedDoorz, can choose what to bring. Her Hellcat, a burner phone, condoms, Roofie...Each one has tradeoffs that surface across Act I content. Your Design Dilemma #3 feedback directly shaped how transparent the system is about those tradeoffs.

EROS HQ Bundling — One trip, one day — reports, training, directives, all handled. Saves a diligent player 8–11 days across Act I.

The Flirtation as Tradecraft Arc — The emotional spine of Act I. Nate's arc is implemented now, and it carries consequences across multiple releases. This is the one I'm most careful about spoiling, so I'll leave it there.

Another Day of Work at the Club — Three full tracks of new content for the whore, bar, and dancer paths. New characters surface. Old ones reveal new dimensions. Seeds get planted that won't pay off until much later.

Escort Arc: The Russians — Fourteen new passages closing out a major storyline thread. If you've been running the Russian line, this is where it lands — and where it forks.

Honeypot: Peaches — Your honeypot poll winner. Tao's first arc is being built for this release.

Retroactive Quality Pass — complete across all of Act I. Suspicion of Claire now colors NPC behavior at three distinct thresholds (thank you for your input!). Spy training produces visible payoffs across missions and operations. Roughly 600 lines of new reactive content woven into existing scenes.

Prologue Proof and Clean —Character Creation clusters reviewed, cleaned, and tightened. We've also done a full macro audit across all Prologue files — nearly 1,400 calls checked and standardized.

FROM THE TEAM

Zachari has been busy. Two major UI overhauls are landing in v0.15:

Crossroads V2 — the choice interface has been rebuilt.

Number-key navigation for keyboard players.

Hover text explaining what each option involves before you commit.

Bodies Selection V2 — the 'partner picker' has been redesigned with:

filtering by gender, ethnicity, age, and sorting options.

Reroll limit visibility.

Autofill for players who don't want to hand-pick. The whole thing is faster, cleaner, and more informative. Way easier to tell gender and ethnicity, etc.
