Brief Update on Build 0.5.3 (Update 1)

Hi everyone ^_^

Welcome to another weekly build update, covering what I have planned for the upcoming build. The last build got a bit bogged down in the Tilly quest, but it was nice to give her some love and attention after all these years. As mentioned in the last update, with any big project lots of smaller misc tasks build up, and getting them done can be tough. With that thought in mind, I still have a few minor Apartment System pieces of content left to finish up, and I really want to do the clothing category classification update soon.

In terms of other content I want to get worked on this build, I want to continue work on the Fem/Sissy Trainer content now that I've had a short break from it. As has been polled, we're going with the Sweet Sissy path first, and this will take us all the way to the end of that content path. I will also continue work on the Tilly dating content. I'd also like to get some writing done on the Industrial Dairy job, continuing on with the main plot-line for the job, and potentially write a little extra content for Mae.

As such, my major plans for this build are;

• Fem/Sissy Trainer (Continue) - This build I'll be back to work on the Fem/Sissy Trainer content. This will be me focussing firstly on the Sweet Sissy path as a priority, with me going through to the end of that path before continuing onto the next path (likely Debutante/Housewife path). This will be comprised of another 6 narrative encounters, and will end with a choice of either a special 'Good Ending', the end of the Fem/Sissy Trainer content (as the player graduates from it), or the player choosing to continue with the content (so still getting tasks and random Fem/Sissy night visits).
• Apartment System Overhaul Minor Additions - There are still a couple of minor apartment system aspects left to finish. These are primarily the Transformation Pod room upgrade for the player, and NPC movement and interaction around your apartment. With those in place, I'll then be able to start thinking about additional roommates/slaves for the player to live with.
• Tilly Quest Reward - A bit of a more minor addition to the schedule, but I want to give the players a good reward for going through the Tilly quest, which will arrive the morning after the player finishes helping her (only for the good endings to the quest though where they fully help her). 
• Tilly Dates + Dating Path Ending - There are two dates left to write on the Tilly dating path, one which wraps up the quest (and offers a little fun/levity with the character), and the final date where the player will get to decide if they are in love with Tilly. Players will be able to be in love with multiple NPC's, and this will determine who can try and purchase the player during the auction ending. There will also be an immediate 'Good Ending' with Tilly that players can choose.
• Clothing System Edit - Something I've needed to get done for a while, the current clothing classification system has some real issues. I'll be reworking how various outfits are classified (so the game can better differentiate between them), going through the entire existing clothing list to reclassify them. This will also allow me to factor clothing (and accessories) into the style calculation, letting me calculate work payment bonuses with them.
• Writing More Hucow Dairy Content - A long-time favourite area of content, I want to return to the Hucow Dairy and write up the next major set of encounters for it, continuing the narrative I started a few years back. The first of these plot encounters will see the player talking to both Betsy and Robyn.
• Mae Interactions - Mae was a new character added in the Tilly quest who I really enjoyed writing. I specifically wrote her store to work in such a way that it's not just attached to the Tilly quest, so I want to add in a new way to find her (talking to Felicity to start with but likely more in the future), and potentially a few new general interactions with her.

The other things I'll be looking to work on potentially in this build are;

• 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.
• Add New Outfits & Underwear - I've got a few big batches of underwear and outfits still to add to the game. I've been putting them off mostly because I want to get the clothing reclassification done first, but if I can get that done I'll start adding these too. The clothing sets I have saved up include; Pet-Play themed outfits, Hucow themed outfits, degrading/prostitution outfits, some sexy outfits, clothing for the Fem/Sissy Trainer content, and some ABDL outfits. There is also a big batch of general underwear images.
• Underwear Store - Seeing as I've got a lot of new underwear images to add to the game, and so far only one real underwear store (that also sells other clothes), I've decided to create a second underwear store for the game. The new store and its owner are already featured in the Fem/Sissy Trainer content for those who are curious.
• ABDL Clothing/Accessories Store - Having never gotten around to adding in a specific ABDL clothing/accessories store, this too is something I want to get added into the game. The store owner for this one has already been polled, with the artwork ready, so hopefully it shouldn't take too much effort to add this location to the game.
• Maid Job Start - The next major job I want to work on is a traditional maid job, which will have a narrative set of encounters within it. This job will see the player being recruited by one of a couple of NPC's, with one NPC being much more sexually focused, whilst the other will be more normal (with a few sexual opportunities). I'm not sure how far I'll get with this during the rest of this year, but I'd like to at least get it started.

There were no art polls for last month, but I'll be doing my best to ensure that I get polls out soon. I'm also happy to announce that the Christmas poll is now up on Patreon and covers what will be the first hobby/club activity I write for the upcoming major Slave School location. There is also a smaller poll over in the announcement's section of the Discord, covering which character you'd like to see more interactions and a new sexual encounter with (if appropriate), so check that out too!

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