This currently covers the first 3 parts of the Pawn Shop job, but not the last prommotions! They will have to be reworked at a later date.

Hello everyone, I hate to have a disclaimer like that at the beginning of the post, but I will go into what's been going on here in this post. However, first of all I will just mention what's new and that is the first three parts (all levels excluding the final promotion) of both Pawn Shop job paths have been reworked into multiple parts (similar to the cam show change), as well as had new scenes added, female PC scene variations for the feminine path added, and some general code rework and payout changes. Out side of that and other fixes, Chloe and the PC's mother have had their images updated, dildos are now usable freely once you own it and even masculine players can now use the dildo!

So, now on to why the update is incomplete. As some of you may have seen on Discord, a couple of weeks ago I ranted a bit about having issues with the update. What happened is that the idea I had for the rework changed and expanded as I was working on it. What this led to is, on top of actually trying to add a lot more scenes that I had realized/planned, after having already worked on parts of it for a while, I realized my new plan to make lower levels less of a grind and put more emphasis on the higher levels contradicted some of the work I was already doing on changing the lower level scenes and I actually had to go back and change the stuff I had already worked on up to that point. So ultimately, on top of taking on more than I had originally planned, my plan changed mid-work and I had to redo a lot of work.

I don't want to seem like I'm vying for sympathy, I just want to explain what happened and apologize that things have turned out rough again and that this patch cycle in general has been such a mess. However, I decided just getting to a decent point and releasing what is done would be better than continue going on with nothing out yet and give myself a little room to breathe as I try to get it finished as soon as possible. It is very frustrating to release something unfinished though and I do understand being disappointed with it, so I do want to reiterate that refunds are always available if you do feel disappointed with how my work is going.

Anyway, I want to try and move on from the difficulties here, I think things are mostly sorted now and I just have to focus on getting the other two levels of the jobs finished. Afterwards I will do a smaller update that is less focused and more about just adding more fun, new scenes before moving on to the Chloe story update and trying to get back on track again. Thank you all so much for your support, especially in times like this where things are a real struggle, I really do appreciate it and I sincerely hope that I can get to a more consistent place with my updates.

Patch Notes:

- Reworked the Pawn Shop jobs which involves changing/rewriting some of the code and passage links, splitting each shift into three parts (Beginning of shift, optional tasks, and end of shift), and adding some new scenes. (FINAL PROMOTION CURRENTLY EXCLUDED)

- Added masculine scenes for using the dildo in your room!

- Added your current job position and experience to show when visiting your workplace.

- Updated the feminine Pawn Shop job path to accommodate female PCs with appropriate clips. (FINAL PROMOTION CURRENTLY EXCLUDED)

- Updated all of Chloe's location images with a closer, higher-definition image.

- Updated all of the PC Mother's location images with a closer, higher definition image.

- Updated some of the Pawn Shop job scenes that previously only had location images and text to have new images or clips relevant to what is happening.

- Changed the Objectives button to open up a side panel to display information instead of changing passages. (Still in testing before making this change to other places like the Status page)

- Changed the Employee Uniform from being exclusive to the masculine path of the Pawn Shop job; you now get it when starting either path.

- Changed the choice when first meeting Alicia to make the options as clear as possible.

- Adjusted the cash payout for the Pawn Jobs to lean less on attractiveness and have a higher base pay. (This way there is a less drastic range of pay for each individual position and you have a higher payout earlier on in the game)

- Adjusted the energy cost for the camshow job to match the pawn job changes (from 60 energy down to 50).

- Adjusted meters (such as the job xp and femininity meters) to always try and fit on screen properly for smaller windows and displays (similar to images).

- Fixed the dildo being incorrectly tied to a story variable; it is now freely usable in the bedroom/apartment once you own it!

- Fixed the "Cum in your Mouth" option when masturbating only being possible in your apartment, not your starting bedroom.

- Fixed an issue in which Felix may still be in his dorm even after he's supposed to be gone.

- Fixed the Pawn jobs kicking you out to town when accepting them.

- Fixed some of the text for Alicia's storyline on the Objectives page not properly line-breaking.

- Fixed various statement and html errors in Felix and PC parent content.

- (Hopefully) Fixed the weed tolerance issue.

- Fixed an issue with buying Moondust and LSD where it was setting the ammount in your inventory to 2 instead of adding 2.
