Hello all, I would like to start by thanking everyone for participating in the poll, it has certainly provided important insight for the future of my projects here.

I would also like to talk about the coming update to Friends of Mine as there are some important changes coming to the PC parents that I just want to make sure are as clear as possible:

First of all, they will no longer be accessible immediately. As it is now, you can start the game and immediately start building a relationship with them. With this update, you will now need to have at least 5 Femininity/Masculinity before you can access any interactions with them. For the masculine options, that's basically all that you need, however for the Feminine options, once you are at least 5% feminine, the next time you encounter your mother, you will have a story event which goes up to meeting your father's co-worker and then confronting your father about it. This was part of the old parent content that has since been essentially replaced with the new system, but has just been sitting there at 25% femininity, so it was in a really weird place. Now it is being cut down a bit and made sort of the introduction to feminine interactions with your parents, so just keep this in mind if you go into a new game and can't interact with them yet!

The next thing is that the new content with them will see the stuff between them finally converge. However, since you increase your relation with them separately, there are three different outcomes to the new story with them based on that. If you have given all of your attention to one parent and mostly ignored the other, you will end up with scenes in which you primarily interact with one and the other is not so involved and mainly does a lot of just watching. However, having both parents with high relation will open up your relationship to bring all three of you together. This is important because depending on what happens, you may be locked out of interactions if you go with focusing on just one of them to prevent inconsistencies, so it's important that you know what you are getting into at that point! For full disclosure, it will be whether the other parent (the one you AREN'T continuing the story with at that point) is above or below 250 relation, basically where you start becoming sexually active with them. If you continue on with said parent below 250, you will be locked out of the interactions above this point! So make sure you have everyone where you want them before continuing on with the story (which takes place at 550 relation I believe). There will be a warning as well in game, but I just want to make sure everyone knows before going into it.

I hope that all makes sense, sorry its a huge wall of text, I just don't want anyone to be confused as they experience the new/updated parent stuff. Besides that, the update is coming along well and I hope you enjoy the new stuff with them, as well as the other stuff that's planned for it!
