Update (09-Jul-2022)

Hi All,

Just want to give a quick update. This week was quite productive. There are two big things to note.

1. I've re-written the 3 scenes in the cargo bay and added them to the game. Two of them will come with new art, as well. I'm pretty happy with the new writing, but I'm keen to see what you all think.
2. I've added a new doll art to the game. It's not quite finished yet, but I'm sure it will be by the end of the month. The important thing is that the mechanics are working, and it's just a matter of sliding the remaining pieces into place. One thing new here is that there will be a button to show the main character with and without her outer clothing. But, her inner clothing will stay on, unless you are able to remove them via obligations. In next month's release, there will only be 1 view angle, but I plan to release 2 more view angles for the doll, in the follow 2 to 4 months.

I've also wrapped up a bunch of minor things.

1. I double checked that the miniskirt obligation can be offered. Looks like that's still okay, it's just that there are a lot of possible obligations at that point or later.
2. I reduced the impact officer personalities have on the station's harassment chance, down from a base of 3% to 2%. Let's see how this changes the feel of the game. Right now, it feels like harassment occurs a bit less early on, which is probably good.
3. I've added a confirmation step, if you choose to end the game early, from being able to pay off the debt. Now, if you accidentally click on "end game early", the game will ask you are you sure, with yes and no buttons.

Alright, the next steps are:

1. Do some polishing and testing. For example, I need to go back and update the obligation text, to reflect some of the new doll artwork.
2. Rewrite the scenes where the officers ask to inspect what underwear the main character is wearing. I think I can make the writing in these scenes better. But more importantly, these scenes currently don't really acknowledge what underwear she is wearing, if anything. That's the main part I want to change. Also, it doesn't make sense for this scene to trigger, if the main character isn't wearing a top in the first place.
3. Add scenes for when personnel or VIPs are loaded or unloaded onto the plane.

For 2 and 3, I've already begun planning and some writing. However, I don't think they will be included in the next release. Instead, they will probably be released in the end of August, possibly alongside another view angle for the doll.

Cheers!
