Preview, plans and release date

Hey! Thank you for being here!

Now let's get first thing out of the way. I've reserved an opportunity for myself to move deadline one time. I'm using it now to move deadline to October 15. I will not use it after that. Release date change has nothing to do with anything bad happening, I just want to add a few things here and there and not rush myself to the point of being burnt by the development.

Next update will contain:

Fully completed "Sexual Education Quest" with Nina, which also means handjob from her! Being able to work for Nina for additional cash by being her model for her photosets and a few story scenes for Jessica and Sasha and also solo MC scenes. No Lisa for now.

Also it will include a pretty decent amount QOL changes that should in a theory smooth gameplay out:
1. Being able to play after game over (highly requested).
2. Achievements screen which will serve as your indicator of amount of content you've completed.
3. You would be able to see indicators on location buttons what characters are where (generally, not exactly).
4. NTR score changes will be visible with a popup, also every other change to stats will be more clearly indicated.
5. If you can't get more affection/desire from character for now it will also be indicated.

I've also pondered the idea of adding save complatibility, but there is one big problem associated with it.
As you know Red Room is a story driven game with limited amount of days for a player to engage in. Let's take a hypothetical situation where you saved on 7th day of a game, when next update I want to add a major story event in 5th day of the game. That's a problem.
There are definitely some workarounds for this issue but they all are not ideal. I can, for example, ask players to not save after certain point of the game, but many players would just ignore this warning or I may have a change of heart and make this planned event happen even earlier. Or I can just reduce the day count of players who saved later in the game, but it can lead to some unexpected results.

And with the amount of little things I change every update in code here and there it also really greatens the amount of code I must do and most importantly a possibility of making a mistake in save-complatibility feature.

That's why I'm swaying to not adding save-complatibility feature for now, at least for the time of me not doing a smooth release schedule. But if you have your take on the issue that differs from mine I would like to hear it on my discord.

Oh yeah, the preview picture above is MC working for Nina's photoshoot <3
