The Next Step || Beta 0.6 Update & More!

Hey everyone!

I want to start off by saying thank you all so much for a warm return to House Chores.  I received a lot of positive comments and a lot of players really seemed to enjoy the new update.  Thank you all for your support!

So now that Beta 0.5 is out, it's time to start looking forward to what's next- Beta 0.6.

== Beta 0.6 Content ==

This update is going to add new NSFW content, but the main focus is going to be on catching up with some of the small necessities.

Little details like having Linda appear at night, new house locations, etc.  These tiny details seem small in-game but still take time to make and are important to add.  Beta 0.5 was heavily focused on getting new NSFW content out so we didn't spend any time adding these new on-screen necessities (this is why you can't enter Linda's room at night quite yet).

As far as which characters get NSFW content in Beta 0.6, it's still up for debate.  It'll likely be Julie but I don't know quite yet.  Should know soon!

== Re-draw(s?) ==

With this next update, right now, the artist is actually working on a redraw of Emily which I hope to share soon.

Some may be concerned about this decision so let me go into details.

Emily's original bust, I never received proper emotions for her which is why she barely talks at the moment.  At this point, I just won't receive these so it's much easier for Mogucho (current artist) to re-draw Emily for ease of adding emotions and future costume support.

We opted to keep her original pose as I felt it nailed her personality.  So far, she seems very similar to the original design as we wanted to keep all of those character elements in tact.

Depending on how this re-draw goes and how players receive it, we may look at eventually redrawing Linda & Julie as well.  There are slight little tweaks/changes I wouldn't mind seeing and this may help keep more visual consistency with potential new characters moving forward.

== New House Locations ==

In addition, there are still 3/4 locations around the house that I really want to add.  So with Beta 0.6, my hope is to add at least one in this update.

Laundry Room
This location will be a second place to complete chores for Linda (her chore point requirements will go up slightly but her progression will feel slightly more varied).  There will also very likely be some funny interactions in this room.  Hope no one gets stuck anywhere here ;P  

Some other important locations that I will eventually add or am considering adding are: Emily's Room, basement, dining room area, backyard/pool, etc.  There's a ton of potential for various locations but we're starting with the Laundry Room so Mogucho can get some practice designing new house locations.  Afterwards, Emily's Room is very likely next.

That's everything for this update!  A bit of an info drop but I figure folks don't mind being in the know about what's going on and where things are headed.

Thank you all so much for your support.  I hope to see you very soon with some updates on that re-draw and eventually some more NSFW content!
