Brief Update on Build 0.4.22 (Update 1)

Hi everyone ^_^

Welcome to another weekly build update, a little delayed so that it went out after the new game build. We're getting very close to the 4th anniversary of the game being in development, so I wanted to do something a little special with this build. For that reason, I'm aiming to work on the long-awaited Fem/Sissy Trainer content!

Before we get too ahead on that topic though, I want to explain my plans for both the Trainer content in general, and in particular for the Fem/Sissy Trainer content.

Plans For General Trainer Content

The in-game trainers have for a good while been something that I've not been 100% happy with. I think they are a good idea, meant to give players a more focused play through, but as they currently are they just aren't developed enough. That's why I've devised this list of changes I plan to make to the trainer content.

My first plan for the various trainer options is to make them have more tiers. As it stands currently, there just aren't that many stages of the trainer paths, causing them to lack any real feeling of progression. To counter this I hope to have more stages, with branching paths on the trainer content, increasing replay value, and giving the player some important decisions to make.

The second part of my plan is to add in more unmissable encounters within the various stages. The intention here is that by adding in smaller one-time interactions with the trainers, that the player will again feel a better sense of progression, and can have more naturally pick which branch of the trainer path they'll follow through multiple decisions.

Next, as the third part of my plan I want to add more requirements placed on the player by their trainers. Whether these are one-time requirements to wear certain types of clothing, general life-style habits, sexual objectives, or being told to go to a specific job or training, these requirements would put an active decision in front of the player whether they were going to comply or not. Further, depending on the trainer and requirement, the consequences might vary too, from one-time punishments, to increasing your punishment score, and potentially more severe consequences (such as chastity).  

Finally, I want to make it so that trainer encounters don't happen every night. Nightly visits with every single trainer is just too much, especially for players who pick multiple trainers. I don't want to make the visits too infrequent so they become a grind, but I think them not necessarily happening every day would feel more organic.

Plans For Fem/Sissy Trainer Content

More specifically, for the Fem/Sissy Trainer content, I want to break it down into the following branches.

Stage 1 = Basic Feminization (girly hairstyles, a little makeup, some lessons on how to be girly/feminine)

Stage 2 = Basic Sissy (teasing, feminine behaviour and appearance training, potentially chastity), or Advanced Feminization (feminine transformations, feminine behaviour training, more regular makeup and hairstyling style visits)

Stage 3 (Previously Sissy Branch) =  Girly Sissy (teasing, chastity, sweet girly behaviour and appearance training), or Slutty Sissy (teasing, chastity, sexual punishments and requirements, slutty appearance and behaviour training) 

Stage 3 (Previously Feminization Branch) =  Bimbo (extreme feminine transformations, bimbo behaviour and appearance training, sex training requirements, potentially sexual requirements, potentially bimbo hypnosis requirements), or Slut (slutty and degrading behaviour and appearance training, sex training requirements, sexual requirements), or Housewife (sweet behaviour and appearance training, training in traditionally feminine matters, potentially submissiveness training)

Laura will remain the trainer throughout this entire section of content. Her intentions will be to earnestly train the player to be a good woman. However, if she gets the sense they want to remain (or become) a man, then she'll instead convert them into a sissy, though this will be well signposted so players don't end up accidentally having it happen. She generally won't engage in direct sexual contact with players, though might in certain specific paths. 

More generally, unlike what is currently in place, there will be more one-time encounters with the player where she asks about what they are interested in. I also know that I want to have optional endings for the player at the end of each path as a reward for going through all of that training.

Additionally, there are a few smaller things that I want to get done too. I'm behind on commissioned content, so if possible I'd like to work on a commissioned scene where the player sells the cat-girls at Pussy Lickers their breast milk, and Allie's next task in her quest-line. I've also put off adding in permanent piercings for a while, which not only is something I have later plans for, but they might also feature in the Fem/Sissy Trainer content.

As such, my major plans for this build are;

• Fem/Sissy Trainer Overhaul - This goal is to take the existing Fem/Sissy Trainer content, and configure it around to my new vision of the trainer content. I'll be updating the code, adding in more minor one-off encounters, and generally trying to make it feel more substantial and interesting.
• Fem/Sissy Trainer Core Feminization Path - One of the two core branch splits, the feminization path on the Fem/Sissy Trainer content will see Laura train the player to be more feminine. She'll engage in various dress-up, makeup, and styling sessions, with a little actual transformation along with it. If the player still has a penis at this stage she will ensure they now have a vagina.
• Fem/Sissy Trainer Core Sissy Path - The second of the two core branch splits, the sissy path on the Fem/Sissy Trainer content will see Laura tease and humiliate the player as she makes them dress and behave in a more feminine manner. If the player doesn't have a penis she will ensure they do, however, it might also end up in a chastity cage.
• (Commissioned) Allie Task - The next task for the Allie quest-line, involving more public sexual humiliation in return for some extra facility points.
• (Commissioned) Cat-Girl Maids Milking Mini-Job - Commissioned by a fan of hucow content, this new mini-job will allow lactating players to spend energy at the cat-girl maid cafe Pussy Lickers in exchange for extra G.G.P. Doing so will use up some milk within the player, and will have a scene where the cat-girls drink from the player, before bottling some up for later.
• Permanent piercings - Part of my initial set up for piercings was coding in that they could be locked onto you. This is more for people who want that forced feminization or sex slavery feel to their play-through, but I want to implement ways in which the player can be pierced and unable to remove those piercings (without paying a large fine). For the time being this will take the form of a Chess Man forfeit, an Alice's Experimentation Lab experiment, and an experimental countermeasure to undo the issue.

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

• Degredationist Brothel Encounters - An area of content I left unfinished, but always intended to expand on, I want to double back around and add more encounters to the Degredationist Brothel job. Eventually I want to have at least 5+ encounters on each branch of the Degredationist Brothel, potentially breaking the main path on the Degredationist Brothel further so the player has more choice in what fetishes they encounter.
• 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 players current genital situation.
• Fem/Sissy Trainer Sissy Tasks - As part of the Sissy side of the Fem/Sissy Trainer content, I also want to add in some randomized tasks. These tasks will mainly be to do with learning skills, wearing feminine clothing (or makeup), or doing minor feminine tasks. Failure will result in punishments, success will give rewards.
• Fem/Sissy Trainer Feminization Tasks - As part of the Feminization side of the Fem/Sissy Trainer content, I also want to add in some randomized tasks. These tasks will mainly be to do with learning skills, wearing feminine clothing (or makeup), or doing minor feminine tasks. Failure will result in punishments, success will give rewards.
• Fem/Sissy Trainer ‘Slut Sissy’ Advanced Path - This advanced path from the stage 2 Sissy branch will see Laura pressure the player towards being an exhibitionist slut. Tasks that she gives will now be much more sexual, and the player will most certainly be put in a chastity cage. Players might also end up with some piercings too.
• Fem/Sissy Trainer ‘Good-Girl Sissy’ Advanced Path -  This advanced path from the stage 2 Sissy branch will see Laura treating the player like a good-girl sissy. This will involve her dressing the player up, and taking her on girly excursions. The player will also most certainly be put in a chastity cage, as good-girl's don't need to think of that.
• Fem/Sissy Trainer ‘Bimbo’ Advanced Path - This advanced path from the stage 2 Feminization branch will see Laura making the player hyper feminine. This will involve continuous transformations, lots of bimbo-ish styling, and bimbo-ish excursions. There might also be some sexual requirements.
• Fem/Sissy Trainer ‘Housewife’ Advanced Path - This advanced path from the stage 2 Feminization branch will see Laura teach the player to be sweet, prim, and submissive. This will involve her teaching the player useful home skills, the importance of being nice and sweet, and how to properly style herself, with some nice girly excursions along the way. There might be some minor sexual requirements, usually linked to learning the relevant skills for her future partner.
• Fem/Sissy Trainer 'Slut' Advanced Path - This advanced path from the stage 2 Feminization branch will see Laura treat the player like a total slut. The player will be tasked to engage in large amounts of sex, wear slutty and degrading outfits, and to get slutty piercings, with an occassional slutty excursion. There will be a lot of sexual requirements.
• More Chastity Integration - As the Sissy side of the Fem/Sissy Trainer content will feature chastity content, I'll also need to finish off the general chastity integreation into the game. This will mean going through various scenes, jobs, and training, and making alterations to them to either support or be avoided by players in chastity.
• Maid Job First Time - Something else I have on my mind is the creation of a traditional maid job for the player. This job will not be neccessarily sexual, but will have ways to improve your job prospects by giving in to increasingly sexual scenario's. On the first visit the player will meet her superior within the maid organisation, Grace, and do some general cleaning. The player might also meet an important NPC for later in the maid content as the clean his/her home.
• Maid Job Core Framework - This task means the general core content of the maid job so that it mechanically works. That would include the job list entry for the job, the general start scene when going to the job, the general end scene when going to the job, and the finances section of the job.

The winning monthly polls for May were; the degradationist outfit and accessories set for the outfits/appearance poll, and for the ABDL poll Sylvia the ex-princess won. In other news, the community Discord is now fully up and running with Patreon & SubscribeStar integration, and custom roles. We also have an online hosted version of the public build over on TFGames, so if that interests you then feel free to check it out. Monthly polls for this month are also out, so if you haven't voted in them yet then please check them out.

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