Biweekly update #14

  Bugfixes/update
- Fixed a bug where random clients wouldn't complete because you had selected a colour or pattern for a category that was empty, and this would count as incorrect
- Fixed a bug where you couldn't play the other ending if you were taken back to chapter 25
- Added a checklist for clients

Game Progress
- Sketched out Nornus (character in James' route)
- Drew Joselina's dress for Caine's chapter 12
- Finished writing Caine's chapter 12

These were another 2 busy weeks where I couldn't work on Caine's route very much. I am sad to say that next month will only have 1 chapter for Caine's route. This month has been an extremely busy time for me and I've been working long hours every day to fix bugs and hand out support to new players. There simply wasn't any time for me to work on the story :(

Mostly the game has been polished with a new checklist for clients. You can now see what's missing from a design, or what you have correct.

I'm also brainstorming about a new idea to add to the game because some users have told me it's a little boring when you've got all the items already and there's nothing to buy. To copy and paste from the Discord, here's my new idea:

So there's another mode I'm planning on creating; Fashion Show. This is unrelated to the story.  Basically you enter the fashion show and you get a randomly generated judge. This judge has their own likes and dislikes, and will ask you to make a dress, skirt, or top, whatever - and they really like X, Y And Z colours, but really hate A, B and C colours etc. There may be more requirements once I get into the actual coding stuff (things like frills or patterns)  You then design something according to this list, which will give you points. 

To get more points for a better grade, you can eventually style your avatar to take part in the Fashion Show (with your newly designed item). You can style yourself, where hairstyle and accessories such as shoes and handbags, are taken into account for extra points.

Get a good enough grade and you win. Rewards for winning are pieces of an outfit (so you can enter multiple times to score the complete outfit), or things like more furniture for your boutique. The rewards do not offer gold.

To create a gold sink as well (because I need a way for the player to spend money instead of having 100k in the bank, doing nothing), each judge would cost X amount of gold to enter. So if you really want this particular clothing piece, you will have to pay gold for it to enter in the first place. Judges are each tied to a clothing piece, so you know what you're getting beforehand.  

I'm totally open for feedback! For example, the rewards I'm planning on giving the player can be a piece of a theme. Let's say its a Christmas theme, you could win the hat, a top, skirt, stockings, shoes, and even a background for your boutique.
