Dev Diary: dev version 4.0 released

Added 2021-09-22 18:12:24 +0000 UTC

Hi. Development version with latest update is released for 10$+ patrons here at development area.

In case if you might want to volunteer doing the translation, please let me know - I'll provide you the app and dev version of the game to test it working.

In short about this update

This part of the update mostly finishes story development for Vault competitions for now.

Second part of v4 should implement fixes and more or less cover the side line for Casey & Dave, introducing new Casey & Dave scene. After that we'll have a public release of everything altogether.

What we aim next is adding more Vault patrons and more scenes to happen with patrons and girls in the Vault. Vault Special will be a rare and very profitable scene in terms of tips, so sooner or later Casey will want to get her tits into Tuna’s area. Though Tuna keeps her eye on Toby as well…

Development directions beyond v4

Adding visual of patrons to Vault before adding their stories (and their Vault Specials)
Gym area - training here will let girls buff their bodies with long-lasting perks
Casey’s non-working time (there’s basically nothing to do when Casey is not at work)
Lana's story (right now there's almost nothing to play with Lana)
Rex story of bribes and eviction. Introduction of this story will put additional stress on girl’s income, but should be balanced by adding extra tips for Casey’s attraction and productivity stats after Vault becomes a popular place (introduction of Vault Special)
Need some review of Tuna’s being that aggressive stealing customers.

What’s in this update (iteration from v3.1):

Shortly after Vault Competition is done, girls get an idea to rollout Vault Special and finally make Vault popular
Whole new Vault Special chain of events + two new scenes integrated with the story and are available after the story
After Vault Special event is done, Casey will get access to rare, but highly profitable Vault Special for Toby
After Vault Special event is done, Casey can trigger Tuna Threesome ‘spiced’ events without using Spice - threesome with half-price promotional drinks on Friday and spiced Pink Lady drink any time if Arnie has access to Vault Special (35+ points).
At the beginning of the game Casey gets 20 fitness stat, which decays 1 per week. This will let Casey have a ‘Good Shape’ buff for Attraction and Productivity for the first 10 weeks. Fixes added for old save games to add fitness stat there as well. The plan is that losing this buff will start the ‘Workout’ event in later versions.
Casey can get her free drink without ending the shift if she was harassed by Tuna or Arnie during her shift.
1 drunk stat now provides ‘Flirty’ buff, which adds +5 to Attraction.
Vault patrons are now visible in Vault and clickable (black boxes with names for Arnie and Toby right now, but we’re doing complete rework of the location)
Improper competition events and some other actions were changed from ‘happening after doing something in the Vault’ to ‘happening when you click on certain characters if conditions are met’ to make it clear how to trigger some events (for example catching Toby alone actually requires him sitting alone at the table. The other example - Lana triggers “Toby falls for Casey” event if you clickToby (playing as Lana) when Casey is working in the Vault and Toby is alone.).
After Vault Special all patrons now accumulate Vault Special points by default when they are at Vault (including days when Casey is not working) + they get bonus points for interactions with waitresses and participating in other events. Right now this is implemented for Arnie, Toby and Dough (no scene for Dough though). The plan is that everyone will eventually have this system and Casey or Tuna will be able to trigger their Vault Special events using those points (and deducting them).
Otto is now working from 6AM till 10AM (before Jackie gets to work). He was added mostly for quest-related reasons, so I’ll be expanding his character later on.
Tuna & Arnie (previous ‘Tuna stealing customers’) are now visually available in Vault near bar Friday and Sunday (we will be fixing their chairs to meet Vault look later on)
Leads for Arnie liking Tuna added for future development
3 music tracks are added: default theme, Vault (sad & decay) theme, light sex theme.
Voicing for many scenes, I don’t really remember how much. Probably all of them (some has voice too low, but I’ll be fixing this later on)
Tuna and Casey now have some phrases voiced in-game. We’ll see how this goes in future.
Controls 0-100 for Music, Voices, Sounds. Next update I’ll be making all voices way louder to a particularly similar level - so you can tune it down or up to mix with music nicely.
Also now it is more or less clear what cheats might be added later on and for what reason, so I plan to add some 10$+ cheats during further version dev development.
