12/2/17 and Update Schedule

Happy December everyone!

Since I've been making more and more progress with the game, the time for the next update is slowly approaching. I can't get an accurate date on when it will actually happen, but with finals coming around the end of the month, and the holidays happening right after, it can be either quite soon, or quite far away. But what I can give is a summary of what content to expect from the next updates, and how they will be formatted. 

The next update to come out will have all of the content that is currently in the game already, but doesn't function correctly. This will be an update on almost the system itself entirely. The next update I will be working on will focus more on the design aspect of the game. The biggest part of that update will be the dialogue system. I want to try and focus more on making each spanking memorable and unique rather than have a bunch of repeatable events with less character, so I will be brainstorming a better format for that. It will also involve me changing some graphics around, updating some of the pictures used, and other less important changes. There will be more functions and features I add to that update as well, such as a new way to handle the fishing mini-game and a plugin I found which I can use to make a higher quality shop interface. 

I'm also going to take the chance to say the next update will be patron only for a few days, since it has the most likely chance of having major errors and I'd like a controlled environment to experiment with that in. 

I reasoned that splitting these two aspects into two updates would not only get a newer version out sooner, but would also require less things to check for each update as well as a chance for me to focus on these things individually. It didn't help that a random shutdown made me lose whole characters worth of progress (about an evening of work on the game), but I'll reach my goal eventually.
