Status Update - Systematic Approach to Difficult Corrections

Working on the current version of the game has been quite the challenge, in not only the game itself, but also in finding the time for development in an ever-demanding life schedule; with my masters and university classes come some unstable mental calibrations that need my constant attention.

I continuously try to carve out time for the coming update, but it remains a true challenge to find the time - and the right coding systems - to implement the changes I want to see from the coming update.

In other terms, what is being worked on for the coming update, and why it is taking so long.
Other than the different scenes leading up to Spring Break and following it with new classes and important story beats, there are multiple systems that need to be implemented in the game for its final version:

1. An improved Clothing System - with countless small "easter egg" scenes across the entire world based on what you're wearing.

2. A brand new Tattoo/Piercing System - with the same unique scenes promised across the world, and unique dialogue based on your looks.

3. A revamped Masturbation System - filled with rewarding visuals and sort of an "easter hunt" for particular footage based on different stats and ways to masturbate.

4. Dealer Work/Gloryhole System fixes - Which switches automatically at spring break and holds more scenes for more regular visits across the week.

5. Relationship System Fix following Spring Break - With main romances and side relationships, accounting for every combination (and adding a Mya/Jerome Harem alongside other background relationships).

All those fixes take time, and each needs its own unique level of inspiration and mental affinity. I am working constantly on staying on top of things, but some days are spent simply looking at other systems for inspiration on how to do things. Or for actual inspiration to write scenes that feel less "exciting" to someone who's way more interested in the story than how someone looks like.

But then again, that had long been a plight of the game, and will stop being so.
After this update, everything is story.

And while there is yet to be a final date, I have made a personal promise that I will not take longer than November for this update; even if that means that some new clothing or piercing options will not have their unique scenes, or if that means that the MC will not be able to sell nudes online.

You give me strength, thank you for your trust, and I promise to keep you updated more often as development goes. As always, I'm available for any conversation across the game channels; I love these talks.
