0.6 Release Update

As was pointed out yesterday, it was release day. And (for the first time ever) all the writing was completed by the deadline!

The release will happen in the next couple days (assuredly before end of month) as we ensure that all the coding has been done properly and we don't have to rapid-fire send out hotfixes to make sure that you're able to play it.

To whet your whistle, the 0.6.1 (Sneak) release includes all the following:

• Clean up, proofing and expansion of the Gang HSV (one new sex scene)

• Clean up, proofing and expansion of the Popular HS Arc (two, smaller, new sex scenes) [and a new code to allow for more people to choose Popular if they want]

• Addition of a Pregnancy chance in HS and University. And then a full arc as Claire navigates the repercussions.

• Complete refactoring of stats in relation to the 'mind breaking' in the main game. It'll now be easier to gain Stability and keep it in the Prologue. And if you manage to get to the main game too low? There's an 'easy' button for a quick boost.

• Addition and repositioning of when you choose Claire's 'first' -- you pick who she's dating.

• Addition of fidelity - is Claire a cheater, cheated on? Committed or not really a relationship girly?

• A new sex scene as Claire experiments with her significant other

• A few new random hookups to our list from YOU the players (Gang and Popular arcs)

• 50 new pieces of passage art to enhance sections.

• New Hometown accessories -- your Claire is more unique based on where she grows up!

• Claire can now actually win the Prom Queen tiara!

• Including Piercings and Tattoos to University -- maybe it's time for Claire to adorn herself.

• Including a potential SexSkills and Kink choice during Gap Year -- unlikely, but possible.

• A new Bad End

• The shopping mall has gotten improvements in Act I!

• Innumerable fixes and improvements to the game. Including: fixes to Act I Job paths that used to dead-end; correction to choices with Act I Tara; correction to text re: hooking up with the Boys; correction if it's Claire's first trip alone or not; fix to who can hook up with Kate in Bangkok; a fix to lesbian and bi scenes that were reading wrong; the Lead Singer during College Commencement can now be a 'body; refactor and rework of how grades in University work -- you should now actually be able to pass!; addition of spy portions of the dossier so you can now see how your Claire is being evaluated; fixed an issue with Angelo's fight; fixes to coding that allow for flexibility sexskills to be granted; corrected how many people Claire hooked up with in college and allowing her to gain skills and kinks from it; the Seedy Casting Couch now works as intended and has no errors; cheering in HS should actually be easier to succeed at...and others I can't dig through our commits to find.
  
  So...there's a lot. I hope you're excited. We're excited to drop the release ASAP!
