🛠️ Upcoming Update! Changes, Progress, and a Question for You 📢

Hey everyone!
I’ve been working hard on the next patch, and while it's still a little bit before it's ready, I want to share what’s already been implemented and also discuss some important thoughts regarding the development and update frequency.

🎨 Global Interface Changes

In this patch, I’ve already made a bunch of visual and style updates to improve the immersion:

• ✅ Updated sidebar style for all stats.

• ✅ Sidebar title now features a new animated design (the previous one felt a bit too plain).

• ✅ Tab name changed for better consistency.

• ✅ Global font style adjusted to better match a penitentiary atmosphere.

• ✅ Inmate dialogue font updated for a more gritty and immersive tone.

• ✅ “Sissy” font style adjusted to look more feminine.

• ✅ Improved text formatting across various sections.

• ✅ Added 9 semi-animated emojis to enrich key scenes.

📚 New Scenes and Content

• 🍽️ The Blackgang kitchen scenes are now live (available in the early morning cafeteria on Mondays and Fridays).
  To view these, you need to have femininity 30+ and have fallen with a certain character in the showers... 😏

• ✅ I’ve created 2 portrait animations for a key character (no spoilers, but I’m sure you’ll love it).

• 🔁 Sasha now doesn’t progress time when paid on Mondays.
  However, I’m reworking some variables because for the next patch (not this one), I want to introduce new options on Wednesdays and Fridays depending on votes. (Work for the guards or.. scroll down ..)This will mean a lot of work, with many new paths and choices.

⚙️ Why is it Taking Me More Time?

A lot of you have asked if I’m going to space out updates more, and honestly:
I’m considering it.

The reason is simple: Even though it might seem like things are moving fast, on average I spend around 16-20 hours a month doing:

• Creating my own animated GIFs (I made over 50 in the last update!)

• Writing scripts and fixing bugs

• Programming scenes with button replace and branching paths

• Designing the interface and doing visual adjustments

I do all of this myself, and every new detail (like adding new guard routes in the future) takes extra logic, which takes time. Sometimes we underestimate how much effort goes into making sure everything works without breaking.
And adding to that the power outage this past Monday, which delayed things for several hours… well, you get the idea.

📊 Survey: Rework of the Library?

I’ve noticed something interesting recently:
📚 The nerd character is at a point in the story where a role change could make sense and we could give more depth to the library, which is currently abandoned.

(-cof cof- "Queen of the nerds.." )

I want to ask you if you’d be interested in me doing a rework of this area in the future(FUTURE NOT NOW!), adding new mechanics, scenes, and a narrative redesign to tie it more closely to character development. (Similar to the Black Gang / Latin Gang in the early morning, but with notable differences. It will be set in the library in the late afternoon, available every day except weekends, I believe.
Another thing this makes me think about is that this section could be a double patch. So, if in the Latin Gang you saw 3 tables with 4 possible outcomes each, plus the extra scenes for those tables… imagine doubling that workload (but as an idea, it's exciting for fans of hypnosis, humiliation, etc.).

And just in case, today I'll start posting updates here about how the scenes are progressing (you know how I always do). I'll also share some development screenshots in Discord just in case. Additionally, I'll try to release the update today, just in case... I'll TRY, emphasize on TRY (I'm a bit pressed for time).

❓ Would you like me to rework the library with a new purpose alongside the nerd character?
