Pearly Salon Major Reworks

This blog detail a lot of news regarding Pearly Salon that I've been working on, hence Concepts and WiPs here are for fans only (at least for now)

First of all, why am I taking so long to update Pearly Salon?

Two reasons:

- I hate the current version as of now, coz the events and assets are still too messy and prone to bugs.

- the current version also not flexible enough for future content I got in mind in the roadmap, so a simple fix will not do.

And so, I decided to take the longer route and redo some of the events from scratch again, but based on the same project file.

So it will be totally different from how I make the previous version and the content will follow mostly from the Roadmap I posted a while back, with some new twists.

Overview

- Game will be reworked

- New UI system

- Reworked "salon" gameplay

- Hair system overhaul

- Life sim adjustment

- Scripts changes

Base Gameplay

The main gameplay loop will start mostly the same: open shop, cut hair, get money, buy new stuffs.

and also previously I have added the Golden Ticket system to unlock the NSFW part of the gameplay.

The common event coding are sorta piled on as I make that and so it gets buggy at times whenever I try to make some minor adjustments, its like a butterfly effect of bugs sometimes, so I gonna try compile some with common events to make things easier, tho I hafta redo the whole thing kinda.

But I might as well change some things as well to make the wait worth it.

Some ideas I got in mind to add in while I work are:

- Optional Tutorial prologue

- New Karma and Reputation system

- Employee and Perks system (Nur-Ain role will be fleshed out)

- New Locations (shops and such)

- Upgrade progression

- NSFW gameplay will be spicier (refer to art assets)

Among other things, i also planning out the events coding to allow story progressions and quests as well.

Soon you not only buying salon supplies but perhaps something else as well, or even meet certain NPCs

Art assets and Story content

Taking my experience from [Spybreak], I decided to do what a certain friend have proposed me to do. The UI with tools (instead of text choices)

(rough concept, not final)

So instead of reading and choosing, you hafta click on the icons, and whether you have the tools available or not will be reflected as well.

Also note the new client concept. I have figured a way to minimize the redundant ones but it also allows me to add more,

The standing client will be how they appear before and after their haircut. it will mostly share some assets with the sitting ones.

Namely the hair assets

I decided to split the hair assets further to allow a more flexible haircut system, while adding another 2 levels of hair that reaches the ass, for long hair lovers out there

also I decided to forgo the back mirror and do a toggle to allow looking behind the client so you can see her back for all its glory, and for good reasons

But first, Imma show you some more outfit concept art Im planning for our two main characters:

Still rough, these are sooome of the clothings I planned to include the much later update, and some will have an event function rather than just looks.

I also wanna introduce more characters into the story as well, some who is technically in the game will finally have a face

Perhaps you wanna make speculations what will they be...

anyways finally, another thing I wanted to add into the NSFW segment

Yes, this is still a hentai game and I wanna make it the realeast I can do.

Altho these are animated in CSP, Im figuring out the way to make the character animated in the game as well.

And yes, there will be more options too in the planning.

So yeah, I hope you guys can be patient with me and I also thank you for supporting me trying my best making this Hair Fetish Hentai game.
