New location added: Tavern
Added 2021-11-16 18:15:50 +0000 UTCThe Hostess of Fertility is an actual location you can visit from the HUB now.
There are various options, and you can split them in two activities: Dining and playing minigames.
Dining
You can dine by having today's special + a few drinks for a total of 1000 valis, that will boost the the amount of excelia you gain.
Since the excelia's gain is already pretty high, I nerfed it down from *12 to *9, you can boost it back to 12 by eating everyday before heading to the dungeon.
Dining will be particularly useful for those who will play in a harder difficulty.
Alternatively you can keep playing with a slightly nerfed excelia gain without having to rely on a harder difficulty.
Minigames
The tavern is meant to have 4 minigames that will grant four types of excelia (Strength, Dexterity, Endurance and Magic), however as of now, only two have been added: Drinking game (Endurance) and Arm Wrestling (Strength).
The magic minigame will be a card game, however its scope is way too big for the current release, so that'll come in a future update.
The Dexterity minigame will be fairly simple, so that should come in either R9 or R10.
The currently added minigames are also really simple when compared to the Demeter Farm's one:
They are mostly textual and use your stats to compete against characters of around your same level.
In this example I have 602 strength, and the opponent around 800, so I'd probably lose unless I get lucky.
This is the "gameplay" part of the update I finished two days ago, in these past few days I have written (almost) all of the scenes, only a small one is left (+ a few edits to do).
This means there are only the CGs left to do before the update is ready.
Since (I hope) I will not take 10 days for all the CGs, rather than releasing earlier once I am done, I will focus on adding a few extra things related to gameplay (Mainly side quests).
Comments
A simple random roll, idle banter, and girls eating pancakes. I'm not sure how many would object to seeing cute girls eat pancakes or parfaits. Then again I would likely use it every in game day just for that lol Exp bonus? Nah, it's Lili's parfait time <3

2021-11-16 20:04:46 +0000 UTCYea I think the banter system would work just fine there, so nevermind about my first reply, I'll add that.

2021-11-16 20:01:26 +0000 UTCThen again the game already features a banter system, although only Lili is featured right now (with more women to come in future updates), however women like Hestia or Eina cannot enter the dungeon with you and therefore cannot take part on that. So I think I could simply include the banter system into the dining, but only limit it to Hestia and Eina (+ other women that cannot enter the dungeon with you).

2021-11-16 19:59:44 +0000 UTCNo, that will be part of story event dates (Such as Hestia's); The reason is that if I added such an option, a player could choose to dine with one of the women everyday, and that would mean either having to write dozen of different scenes for each woman, or simply having a repeatable few that would eventually grow weaker. I think it would be much more meaningful if during the storyline, Bell invites someone on a date to eat and something special happens either before or after.

2021-11-16 19:55:04 +0000 UTCHow about offering the girls to dine with you? It would be cute to have them eat together <3 Even more fun if you added different meal options with time.
