Brief Update on Build 0.5.17 (Update 2)

Hi everyone ^_^

Welcome back to another weekly build update, covering what I've achieved so far in the upcoming build. As the say, when it rains it pours, and bad luck struck again with my work computer breaking two weeks ago. The process of getting the new computer ran into some issues, but has been solved now, and all the game files from the old computer have been transferred over with only some minor loss of progress.

Some progress has been made on Tom the Cat, an adoptable pet for the player's home (using a lot of the roommate framework), a new plan to add in a simplified quick wardrobe (which will let me throw up clothes changing options in other locations like the school more easily), and some bug fixes and other general work. 

In the meantime, due to the broken computer incident I've also been working on updating the game's wiki, which you can find here -> https://www.therepurposingcenterwiki.jpmaggersgames.com/index.php/Main_Page 

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

My primary goal of this build is;

• (In Progress) Tom The Cat - Tom will be a pet the player will be able to find and bring back to their home, after which he'll wander around their home and do cute cat things. So far I've worked on most of the background code, and some of his scenes, to the point where he walks around the home, confers his relationship bonus to housemates, but he's not yet finished.

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

• (In Progress) Quick Wardrobe - A simplified version of the wardrobe, which only contains lists of wearable clothing, underwear, accessory, options (rather than the full description and image). My hopes are that this will allow players to more easily/quickly navigate clothing changes in a rush, and will allow me to place this 'quick wardrobe' option in other locations like the school.
• School Interrupt Encounters - Much like all the other time passing instances, the school too needs interrupt encounters. These are usually attached to fetish content, and are things like; milk overspill (lactation), pregnancy progression (pregnancy), cum/sex addiction, wetting (watersports), etc. Most of these will be similar to previous versions, but I see others will likely differ significantly, likely also impacting the player's school reputation in the process.
• 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.
• Classroom Encounter Answer Teacher's Question - Another 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. 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.

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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Last month's art poll, when combined from Patreon and Subscribestar, saw the winner of the poll being 'Jenny Vs The Machine', with 'Miss Kimberly Maid Roleplay' coming in a close second, and 'Drama Princess Celeste' a close third . A new art poll for the month will probably land over the next, so keep an eye out for that. As for artwork, it's still slowly rolling in, with tattoo artwork having gotten to the stage where I think I'll likely add it in soon.

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