Maria won the vote.

The poll of which character in the evening events should get special treatment was won by Maria, with Lauren coming second and Patricia third.

The scene with Maria will take place at her house, in the kitchen. Maria has asked that you stop by to see her after college. If you played the entire spy scene the previous evening, ending with Maria looking at you through the window. Max will think she wants to see him because of that.

There will also be a slight change to the outfits Lauren and Patricia will wear in their respective scenes since they came second and third in the poll.

Some people asked why Jennifer wasn't in the poll, considering she has an evening scene. Since she's a newish character Max hasn't properly met yet, and her scene takes place in the open part of the shopping mall, her scene wouldn't naturally suit a special treatment. But don't worry, she'll get something special when the time is right.

Progress-wise, three out of the four college lecture scenes and the morning mom scenes are complete, with some post-work required. Renders often need a denoise pass and other issues such as poke-through fixing. The poke-through doesn't just apply to clothes; hair can be a big issue, with some characters' foreheads getting poke-through from the skull cap. Other post-work can include enhancing certain features that either didn't come through in the render or were washed out with the denoise.

I am also exploring options for Steam Achievements to complement the in-game trophies. Currently, the same trophy can be awarded for different characters if you replay the game or enable the multiple trophy option in easy mode.

The achievements in Steam don't work that way. This means I will either need to create a lot of achievements to cover each character or just award it once on the first play-through. More on this to come.
