Hi all!
Just a quick heads up. One more (mostly bugfixes) DEV version is coming tomorrow.
Stable version will follow soon after, most likely on Monday. No timer countdowns, sorry.

Yacht is finally in the game after years of being there as an icon. Time for boat parties. I'll add other events as we go on.
BTW, look at the smirk on the right girl. I've added some new mouths and this particular one was meant for a special character. It does fit on everyone, although it leaves them with that smug look. I'm not even fixing it, just gonna leave as is.

Reputation play much bigger role now.
It affects the chance of casting interviews, marketing scores, points for agency models, number of work contracts and more.
You can raise it by being a "good" boss, bailing out your stars, paying for staff vacation and whatnot. There's also (expensive) marketing campaigns, but you already knew that.
High staff happiness, low std epidemic threat and completing work contracts also nets you some reputation.
It will only get more important as we go on. When rival companies are implemented, you better keep the rep high.

Photo studio is completed. I did advertise it as a passive income building, but after testing it just doesn't work well. It's great for camshows, but not this. I don't know, you'll tell me when you get the chance to play it.
So I've made that you can assign ONLY contracted photomodels. You can then start completing the work contracts, which now spawn more often.
I've buffed photoshoot contracts so they give a lot more money and reputation.
You could potentially play through without shooting porn, just having a photo studio.
I'll add more functionality when i figure out what.

This next thing is just a taste of things to come. I've been "pressured" to add girlfriends back.
Why did I do this now you may ask?
Players wanted to fuck staff members for a long time, I just didn't want to make it free use. So now you can.
It wasn't possible to fuck camgirls and photomodels. Now there is.
Also for roleplaying purposes coz some like to pimp their girlfriends.
Right click on the girl, call her to the office, got through date (which is one click) and you're together. It's that easy.
I'll make something more complete when we get there (v0.8). Relationships, jealousy, dates and all that. Currently there's no downside, no bonuses, nothing special.
You can have your charisma/20 GFs. So 5 at max charisma.
You can now ONLY fuck staff who you're in a relationship with.

That's it for now.
Thanks for the support and stay safe.
