Upcoming plans for the next TH2 update

Hello everyone,

As I said, when releasing the v0.26 of TH2, I spent the past days writing SoV3. I have no idea when I'll have the time to release something. It's not a priority anyway and the first chapter is very small compared to the other two I wrote so it's more of a test (because I want to try a few things.)

Let's talk about the next TH2 update. I'll do like I did with v0.26. I'm first doing a recap post like this one to expose the big lines, and then during the dev, I'll post when I have enought stuff to show you.

As you can expect, the brothel is still at the center (and it will continue to be for this update and the next one.) Hopefully, v0.28 should be the very last one with core brothel integrations. The rest should be smoother.

Anyway, the brothel will see two major gameplay elements added: The recycling function as well as the leisure rooms. I will detail the later in a corresponding post even if I already mentioned them in the past. The recycling function is prioritary as it will void any problem in the future for new players when it comes to making too many beds or stuff like that. I was supposed to activate this feature later in the game but considering the amount of people building more than necessary at the beginning and me having to find countless workarounds to prevent all possibilities, this will be a good thing to breathe.

In terms of scenario, things will be light (since I'm focusing on polishing/corrections for now.) For the main scenario, you'll see the end of the Betty quest. In terms of side content, it should only be new H scenes and a couple more conversations with already present NPCs to prepare future stuff.

Then the biggest element I'd like to implement is the possibility for Kaya to buy her own appartment. After what you'll be able to decorate it like you're currently doing with the brothel. Giving an independant living place to Kaya (that isn't in Ominira anymore) will allow her to invite people at home and spend the night with them. It will either lead to a bit more lore about the character or to a H scene. Some H scenes will need requirements (nothing groundbreaking, it'll either be a specific element in the appartment like a sofa or whatever) or to have progressed enough in the story. While it's the biggest element, it's not prioritary and if for some reasons, the new additions to the brothel take too long, I might postpone that to the next update so I can release the v0.27 quickly.

So yeah, not tons of things to announce but at the same time, between the rendering and the polishing, if I want quick updates, I have to make them small. If everything works well, I'd like to release this update mid-June (so I can release the next one before the end of July (so before I leave in vacation during the first weeks of August.)

By the way, did you guys see how I handled smegma in that new update? I don't know if I already mentioned it in the past but I'm doing it differently than before and it looks much better (it's especially visible in the Kenzie scene with Conrad and the other homeless.) The downside is that if the original texture is badly cut (like it is for the scene I'm currently working in) I need 10 times the required time to make a proper smegma layer. It happened this afternoon so I spent a whole afternoon just for that. Hopefully you'll enjoy the result like I did :p

Anyway, I'll come back as soon as I have more to show you.

See ya o/
