Patch Notes
0.2.18
Major changes:
1. Changed the way you can sneak into the bathroom. Previously it always worked, now - Daphne or Alexa can catch you and there's a random event with some choices if they do.
1. Added ability for a player to take a shower. Also, if you take a shower, you have a chance that Daphne or Alexa will interrupt you. Obviously this also results in random event, with some choices that will help you shape the outcome.
Minor changes:
1. "Cleaning the pool" activity. So after you fix the pool, you now can clean it for additional money.
2. Insomnia. So I'm sure you noticed that after not sleeping for a night, you get a sleepless night effect which diminishes your yields. So what will happen if you still won't go to sleep for couple nights? I will reward you with another cool mechanic - insomnia! Obviously, it will further diminish your yields, hurray! And what will happen if you're stubborn and won't sleep even longer? Well, let's just say I only recommend it to super humans...
3. New descriptions and photos after you fix the garden. So now there's a different photo after you fix the garden (by doing "Versus the hoarders!" quest) and after you fix the pool ("Make the pool upper class again" quest). The description also changes accordingly. I know it's a detail, but it took a while to do, and I actually like little details like that to make the world more immersive
4. Garden deterioration. So now it's not enough you'll fix the garden by doing the two quests, you need to be attending it regularly or it will deteriorate. The pool will get dirty and the girls won't be able to use it, or the grass (and piles of trash) will grow and they won't be able to sunbath. It's best if you do at least one chore in the garden every week to avoid that.
5. Rewrite of the intro for the Dude. The Dude is an NPC that you can meet in the park. But so it happens that he's also one of the coolest dudes on the planet. So I decided to give a slight rewrite of his scene. Nothing fancy, but it flows nicer I think
6. Added persistent effects to the game. This means that to end some effects you need to do something (like for example - to end "Sleepless Night" you need to get some sleep).
7 . Added growing beard if you not shave. So from now on you can grow a viking beard, but obviously it will impact your multipliers, so watch out.
8. Added growing stench if you not shower. So from now on if you don't shower you will stink, and that will impact your multipliers.
Bug fixes:
1. Fixed a bug with domination route on "Daphne's secrets" quest. It made the quest restart in some cases.
2. Fixed a bug in the intro for the hags quest. The quest itself is still in development, as well as the entire Hags system, but you can start it in the park sometimes.
3. Fixed irritating error message when displaying characters in location. It didn't happen for everyone, but there was a small problem with it, that shouldn't appear anymore.
4. Fixed a bug in quests panel. You could basically open up a quest panel during quest, to forward the quest. This shouldn't happen now
5. Fixed the problem with effects not working properly or stuck. This happened only if you played on old saves. Effects usually go out automatically when the number of days left fall to 0, but in some cases they went past 0 and got stuck. It shouldn't happen anymore.
6. Fixed a problem with Daphne knocking to bathroom doors just a moment after she left the bathroom. This is a minor problem, but it was annoying me
7 . Fixed a problem with "Make the pool upper class again" quest starting up without Alexa in the garden. Now she has to be in the garden for player to kick off the quest.
