It's been a long time coming but I decided to release the 0.2 Demo

If you wish to download and play it now, link is right here

PearlySalon 0.2 ultrajanky macOS

However, big disclaimer, this build is still very unstable and janky coz there's so much bugs and fixes still need to be done and I figured I cannot do it alone.

So anyways, here are the updates that I have placed into the new 0.2 demo:

System

I had to overhaul the event programming and database to make way for the future updates, and this way I can add in more parts as well as integrating new content such as NPC stories

However all the changes have opened a whole can of new problems that needed to be ironed out so your feedbacks are very valuable at this stage.

(And if you're to dig into the RPGmaker project files, well, do let me know what I did so wrong too)

Art

I did a massive redo with the picture layering and variable system to create and even more varied looking clients, not just with their skin tones and hairlength, but also their eyes and hair color, eyebrows, body types and well.. boob sizes, dohoho.

Even the clothings are divided into top and bottom (tho connected by set for now) as well as an additional clothing pieces for the face and their underwear.

And I have also implemented a spreading a spreading pose (as previously teased), this is to showcase their glorious bodily hair under their clothes as well (and yes, they can be shaven off)

but only if they are unclothed (on certain times), mostly because Im lazy to redraw the outfits to accomodate that pose

For a time, the pubic/pits variation is simple but will be expanded upon eventually.

This renewed system gives foundation for more possible variations in the future

Disclaimer: As of this post, I had to disable this particular feature for now, due to how broken it is at the moment, I hope to fix and reintegrate this in a couple days

Gameplay

Of course, the game is still a haircutting game to its core, with the aforementioned new layer system, now its possbile to cut their hair into different styles, back and front, each length will have a different haircuts, so prolly even possible to do more hilarious haircuts.

Although I admit, it may not be 100% complete yet so do let me know what needs to be fixed coz with so many assets I had to do, I tend to lose track.

Anyways, I'm too tired, I'm sick, I got some inflammation in my ear that's torturing, I hope yo hear you guys feedback soon but for now I will rest a couple days

I will update this post again next time when I get well, byes
