Brief Update on Build 0.5.18 (Update 1)

Hi everyone ^_^

Welcome to another weekly build update, covering what I'm planning to work on this as part of the upcoming build. Computer issues aside, the previous build saw some decent progress, and allowed me to shake off the rust so to speak. I'm pleased with the Quick Wardrobe system, and the options it opens up for clothes changing in places like the school, and I also think the school interrupt system setup should be easily extensible in the future.

This time I'll mainly be concentrating on pushing the school closer towards a complete (base) state. To do this, I'll be finishing up the interrupt encounters started in the previous build, and working on the testing section of the school too. There may also be the need to do some alterations to the end of day scenes for the school, as currently they aren't set up in a way that allows me to add in the final interrupt scene call that should be there. I also have some fun scene plans for the school too.

If there's time, then I will also be working on the underwear system update, in which I'll be changing it so that it's more inline with the outfit system, having various 'underwear tags' that describe its function. When that's done, I'll also be well-placed to start adding in the underwear I've been saving up, with the collection of Adult clothing and accessories coming first. Finally, thanks to Joywoi in the Discord community (sorry I've taken so long on this), we have a new writing submission for Mei, an Asian cat-girl who works at the Degredationist Brothel, who I'll be adding in too.

P.S. Thank you for your continued patience with me.

My primary goal of this build is;

• School Interrupt Encounters - Started in the last build, I'll be continuing work on the School Interrupt System, which will include the following scenes; School Orgasm Addiction Interrupt, School Cum Addiction Interrupt, School Exhibitionist Prostitution Job Interrupt, School Watersports Accident Interrupt, School Adult Underwear Accidents Interrupts, and the School Fem Trainer Underwear Check Interrupt. There will also be reaction passages built into most of these, however, I'll likely wait until after I've added the remainder of the school characters (a few builds away) before I start on that. Finally, I'll likely be switching up how the end of the school day mechanically works so I can add in an interrupt call there too for those who stick around for after school activities.
• School Testing (And Qualifications System) - One of the aims of the school is to offer the player qualifications that require them to have learned multiple related skills to gain. These qualifications will add value to the player on the slave auction ending route, and will also be used to potentially gate progression on certain jobs, as well as offer new opportunities to the player in general.

As such, my other major plans for this build are;

• Classroom Encounter Answer Teacher's Question - A simple classroom encounter where the player has the opportunity to answer a question in class. Doing so will increase relationship with the teacher and give a small skill exp boost based on the lesson and decrease delinquency, responding with a joke will gain some school reputation, small relationship boosts, and delinquency, not doing anything will give nothing.
• [Polled] Baylee Phys Ed Class Sex Wrestling Encounter -  In this new Phys Ed classroom encounter, the player will be put against  Baylee the cheer team captain, with the class being focussed on sex wrestling. The player will be able to choose how hard they try, and will receive differing results depending on that (and Baylee's opinion of the player).
• [Submission] Mei The Deg Brothel Cat-Girl - Submitted to me kindly by Joiwoi, Mei is an Asian cat-girl the player will be able to meet when working at the Degredationist Brothel. So far there is one encounter with her, but in the future I'm hopeful we'll see more.
• School Detention - After getting given detention by one of their teachers, players will be able to attend after-school detention, which can be ran by a randomly selected teacher. Different teachers will have different punishments, with the punishment selected being randomly selected from a pool of them.

Low priority content that I might get around to (or at least that I'm keeping in the back of my mind) includes;

• Info Boxes - After having added in the basic options set for the info boxes and set up the exp portion of that info system for players to view, I still need to work on the quest information boxes and item gain information boxes.
• Underwear System Update - A more minor thing to mention, but much like the update to the outfit system last year that saw the addition of 'clothing tags', underwear needs to be updated in a very similar way to make sure that it is suitable for future updates.
• Adult Clothing & Accessories - Having built up over time, I have a decent selection of Adult clothing and accessory artwork saved up. All of these will be added to Princess Sylvia's store.
• Player Scene Images Overhaul - This one has been on the back burner for a while, but down various content paths I've saved up a selection of alternate images featuring the male and or female player stand-in. My hope is to change the code to allow players to select whether they see these images or not, but also select whether they only see one gender version of the images, and also be able to select whether it only shows the appropriate image to the player's current genital situation.
• Fem/Sissy Trainer Sweet Sissy Continuation - Currently there are three major narrative scenes left on the sweet sissy Fem/Sissy Trainer path,
• Sam (Fetish Slave) - Sam is a female Asian fetish-y character the player will be able to buy from Princess Sylvia's store. She's cute, but might need some training from a perspective owner. Sam will have various sexual and fetish related interactions.

As we're coming up to the end of the month, a new art poll will likely come soon. The current poll is still ongoing until the start of the new month, and currently Baylee's Oral Sex scene is in the lead, but it's still possible for another option to beat it. As for artwork, it's still slowly rolling in, with me currently writing up the commission sheet for the next big art batch from Silverjile, which will cover a number of scene images, and some new pieces for the room system, amongst other things.  

Hope you all are excited, and happy gaming ^_^
