NPC mapping
Let's talk about NPC mapping system. Technically it was implemented in 0.18, but there was no actual dialogs/events that used it, so there was no point writing about it back then. But now is a good time to tell you about it since we had some time to start going over old texts and—more importantly—started using it in 0.19.
Now some of you might have looked into the settings menu and noticed the thing is, em, kind of massive. The good news is it's 100% optional, if you don't want to d...

Sorry about late posts, but the posts are the only things we delayed, the changes from this post were implemented back in 13th.
Anyway, here's the latest change log:
Fixed the bug where Kate's energy didn't recover properly if Kate was staying overnight at Veronica's.
Fixed the bug where the game lost skill caps. For example communication skill is capped at 100. We will increase the cap when we add more functionality to skills.
Fixed the bug where the ...

0.19 is focused on Max and villa in general. This time we've done almost everything we planned. We decided not to end dialogs between Ann and Kira on a cliffhanger so we pushed them in one of the future updates. We also didn't do everything we planned for sounds. But we also added some extra stuff we didn't plan on initially.
So, here's the change log:
0.20 content poll
We haven't had any news for a while, but as usual, it's because we are focused on the game itself. 0.19 is almost done, the only thing left is some small stuff with sounds and finishing touches on English translation. 0.19 should be out for our $40 Patrons tomorrow.
We're going to start working on 0.20 in a couple of days, which will be focused on Kate, but the specific theme is up to you. We have several different options for you to choose.
Opt...

Plans for 0.19
The last two updates were focused on Kate and college, which means 0.19 will be focused on Max. Here's our current plans:
- morning yoga with Ann
- hidden cameras around the house and the Big Brother show
- spider events at night in Alice's room
- punishments before breakfast and dinner
- certain series of events with Kira and Ann
- maybe some more stuff if we have the time
Just like last time, we're hoping 0.19 wi...
2019-09-20 12:17:43 +0000 UTC View PostGlamour 0.18
The latest update is all about college rules. Most of it is new mechanics, but there's some new content, too. We've already talked about most of the work on this update in previous posts, so parts of this post might sound familiar to you. Overall we've managed to do even more than we planned, at the cost of a slight delay and fewer posts. But just because we might be less active on Patreon or don't update our Trello page doesn't mean we're not working on the game. We hope you appreciate all t...

Time to talk about our current progress. Sorry for not making too many posts lately, but every minute spent on one of these is a minute taken from the game development. Anyway, let's talk about what we've already done and what we're going to do before release.
First, we reworked and vastly improved NPC behavior in college. Most of it is kind of hidden in the game engine, but you'll be able to see some nice quality of life changes too. For example, now teachers come in the class couple o...

Current progress
We haven't written many news lately, so I'll try to post them more often. As you probably know, we have a public project board on Trello. Unfortunately, the things we're working on now aren't easy to explain in half a sentence, so I've decided to write a post about our current work.
You might have noticed we spent a lot of time on sandbox elements in the last couple of updates. While 0.17 had some story events about Kate getting her access to committee initiatives, it was mostly about u...

Fixed several important bugs:
1. Sometimes the option to provoke Adam was unavailable when it wasn't supposed to be.
2. The game wasn't starting an important dialog with Sophie after a new rule announcement.
3. First uniform check could've happened at any day, even if Kate wasn't in college.
Fixes are already in the game and you don't have to do anything.
P.S.: In order to start events from...

It's time to release 0.17. Hard to say if we've managed to do all we planned. On one hand, we didn't have the time to implement some important events (medical exams and side effects), but we did implement all technical stuff, even the parts we were originally planning for 0.18.
Now, about 0.17:
It's all about the main story, more specifically, college, committee, and rules. A long series of events and over 40 dialogs.
Implemented college committee...

Villa related buxfix
We fixed a bug related to villa. Sometimes the game wouldn't start maid events or bug out when Kate was trying to talk to Ann. Everything should be fixed now. If you see this bug, leaving and returning to the villa should fix the issue.

0.16 for patrons $5+ and 0.15 (offline)
We unlocked 0.16 for our $5 Patrons yesterday, but we had to work on the offline version 0.15. We optimized some stuff in 0.16 and the old version wasn't compatible, but everything should work now.
Here's the link to the offline version (0.15).

Hairstyle poll
Some players miss Lisa's old hairstyle, so today we've decided to put this decision into your hands.
We had several reasons to change it. First, Lisa looks too young with it. Just saying all characters are 18+ isn't enough, we don't want our characters to look like kids. Second, old hairstyle wasn't as good from technical perspective. Turning her head always had a chance for the thin...

We finally got around hunting down obscure and rare bugs. If you know about a bug and can reliably recreate it, please let us know about it.
We already fixed a number of bugs that could create problems completing the game. For example, there was a rare bug during a dialog between Ann and Kira while playing as Kate, which was freezing the game. There were missing clothes on Veronica during a dialog in the pole room. We removed traces of Alex (previous male protagonist), etc.
Now if...
