Release Day + Poll Results

0.8.4 for Handlers+

0.8.3 for Dossier

---------------

A surprising little factoid - our poll was exactly 69 (nice) % / 31% on both platforms. We will be creating upper-body assets to match the new-to-be-added cup-size for Claire. We'll be posting a poll with two options in the coming week.

------------

0.8.4

• The Gymnast arc has been expanded and improved -- It's hard to be one. Can she make it?

• Improvements to speech bubbles, dossier, and Pop-up notification UI!

• 'Bodycount' math has been readdressed. Numbers were occasionally broken and often unreasonably high.

• The Tattoo parlor has been fixed in University.

• A trait 'bonus' has been added to the Finishing School gap year for those that take all the options. Big downside, some upside!

• Skills and traits are now capped in the Prologue. Hitting the cap will add 'xp' to the Act I bank, but won't increase stats during the character creation. (They were too high and variable)

• Claire can now get breast augmentations if she wants at the end of High School. (There didn't seem to be a right timing for post-Gap Year or College, so we've left it as one opportunity).

Drumroll: The opening of the Prologue has been massively restructured. Claire's appearance is fully in your hands. The opening has been simplified and hopefully clarified.

This is a first step before implementing an 'RPG'-intro for those who don't want to move through the Prologue but also don't want to 'Quick-Start'. There will be three ways to 'build your Claire'.

What's up for 0.8.5?

• Enhancing and Expanding the Backpacking Gap Year Arc.

• Enhancing and Expanding High School dating.

• A new breast size for Claire.

• A tattoo parlor (and soon to be added piercing kiosk!) in Act I. This precedes us adding more of those assets to the game!

• Enhancing and Expanding the 'family' aspect of the Prologue to give more character and specificity.
