Dev Update 24/2024: Additional features in V0.16 (Patreon)

Hey guys!

Here's the final dev update for this year and before the release of V0.16!

Speaking of V0.16, it's nearly complete! The last steps are all about finding and fixing bugs and giving everything a final polish. Over the past few weeks, I've added some more new features to this update, which I would like to show you today.

New Way to Earn Money

To make it more easily to get money early game, I've added a new job.You can now sort books at the college library! This job comes with a mini-game that lets you earn up to $100 per session, or you can skip the mini-game and earn $40 instead. I hope this makes it easier to earn some money early in the game!

Cheats App Added

For those who want to speed up their progress, I've implemented a "Cheats" app you can unlock on the MC's smartphone.To enable it, go to the game's options menu and activate the "Cheats" option. It’s disabled by default, so you'll need to turn it on yourself.While I personally believe cheats can detract from the intended experience of the game, I want to give you the flexibility to play the way you want. The app allows you to add money, mind points, and skill points as needed.

Improved Balancing

I've also made adjustments to improve the game's balancing:

Harem members sent to work now generate significantly more income.

The newsstand, when bought, earns a higher income at every upgrade level.

Balancing will continue to evolve as the game develops and your feedback on this is very helpful for me!
