v0.27.0 Game Status

Evening all, time for our first March update! This was a code-focused period for me, but I have two new sets of Director CGs for you all to enjoy, as promised. There was a decent amount of progress made in Exploration Mission functionality, mainly the the communication between the main level and the exploration level, but that doesn't offer much fun to show off (you can currently bounce into the Missions level, see an extremely plain UI, and bounce back out again). 

In less fun news, remember last release when I said there was a high chance of bugs with the new Options menu? Yeah, unfortunately there was a rather harsh one. In one of those mysteries of code, the 'gender preferences' settings functions which worked fine previously, decided to work entirely differently in the new scene. What this means is that if you opened the Options screen in v0.26.1 and closed it, your gender settings could be reset to the default values. This has been fixed in this release, and there is a workaround if you've been affected which is as follows:

1. Open the options screen in v0.26.1 or v0.27.0.

2. Enter the cheat code to bring up the gender preferences options.

3. Set the options as desired, close the options screen, and save the game (the settings are not reset until the next time the options menu is brought up again).

4. Reload the game in v0.27.0, if not already in v0.27.0.

If you were a Citizen and don't have the v0.26.1 cheat code, I'll be messaging it to you shortly. If you were a Citizen last month and aren't anymore, and would like to get fixed up, hit me up here or on the discord. Sorry for the hassle!

In forward-looking news, you can expect a new scene in the next release, either Encounter or Hellfire. Also, artists Suki and Vin have returned from recent convention adventures and are back to work. And of course, Exploration Mission work will continue, probably with me getting started on creating an actual mission. So something to look forward to! Enjoy!
