GLAMOUR [V0.56] [DARK SILVER]

So here’s what you can expect in 0.55.2:

The yoga storyline picks up where we left it off. It is now 27 events long (0.55.1 already had 14). It is the longest chain of events in the game by a wide margin, both when it comes to the number of events and the image count.

Andrew gets his massage, seven events in the chain.

A new storyline dealing with unforeseen consequences of the previous story.

0.55.2 has three storylines. Two new ones (we count Andrew massage as a new one, even if it technically started in 0.55.1) and the second half of the yoga class storyline.

By the way, we haven’t mentioned it in our 0.55.1 post, but all adult content with all guys in 0.55 is entirely optional. Half of the events in the yoga class have two variants, the one where Kate agrees to do something, and the one where she turns them down. One event has over 80 steps if you count all variants of that event. Only Sophie and Alice are irresistible for Kate, since she likes them and has no reason to turn them down.

Kate hasn’t gotten as many updates as Max recently, so we’ve tried to make this update as good as we possibly could.

v0.55.1 is out. It’s all about Julia’s fitness club. There is a series of events in the yoga class, the locker room, the shower room, and Julia’s office.

v0.55 is a massive update. It has over 310 images, for example. We’ve already rendered and edited all of them, so the only thing left to do is text. We’ve decided not to cut anything out of 0.55, so we’ll just release the rest of it with a slight delay.

 

v0.54
Today we’re releasing 0.54. Let’s skip the long intro and jump right into the change log. Max will record a bunch of clips all over the house with all kinds of characters, including:

Lisa during breakfast

Lisa and Kira by the pool

Kira and Ann by the TV at night

Alice by the car before college

Lisa in the morning while she’s helping Ann to cook breakfast

Lisa and Olivia by the pool

Alice and Ann by the pool

Kate during dinner
Each one is a short series of events (between two and four), with the last one in the series always being periodic.

We tried to make events as varied as possible, so the update has over 220 images (which is well above average).

v0.53

We’ve been able to finish 0.53 this month without delays.
It is focused on Max and Lisa’s adventures in the medical office with Zoe.
Size-wise, it’s about the same as our usual update. Or 0.52.1 or 0.52.2.
The new events require certain progress in the Karen quest, after which Lisa will periodically ask Max if he wants to go to the medical office somewhere between 14:30 and 15:50. Every other day or so. If Max turns her down, she’ll leave him alone for several days. As usual, the invites will become less common once you go through the unique events and if Max turns her down, she’ll leave him alone for about two weeks.

New feature

As we’ve mentioned in one of our previous posts, we’ve implemented a quest log change. From now on, unlocking new steps in the quest log is marked with a small indicator on the quest log icon.

If you open the quest log, it will display which quests have unlocked new steps. The indicator goes away once you read the new quest log entry. This feature is especially useful at the start of a play through when you unlock a bunch of quests early on and for whenever you get stuck.

We’re also planning to implement a UI element that would tell you the percentage (including decimals) of your total progress. It will help the players to learn if they’ve unlocked all content or if there’s still something to do. It will also help new players with understanding the scope of the game.

v0.52.2

The second part of 0.52 is finally done. The amount of content is roughly the same as 0.52.1
This time, Max and Lisa get tutored by Veronica at her place. There shouldn’t be any conflict with Karen’s lessons, both should happen every other day, so there’s always a lesson every day.

v0.51
Karen visits Max’s house to discuss important future developments. Things will escalate from just talking.

Max will meet Candy. This story will be very different from Kate’s.

Karen will invite Max in her office to show him the ropes. This event will have three options. They won’t branch the main story and will only affect a small self-contained storyline. For now, the choice has no consequences, you can talk to Karen and replay the event as many times as you want in order to see all three options.

v 0.50
We can finally say the work on 0.50 is done and you can play the update. If you don’t already have the game on your device, the download link will be available in the next post. Kate updates keep taking a lot of our time and this one is not an exception.
You won’t need to finish everything from the previous update, but you will still need certain progress with Max. You can check the quest log for more details.
So, about 0.50. The entire update is revolving around the cheerleading squad, in one way or another. Now that Kate has proven herself, it’s time for other characters to show their resolve and willingness to do what it takes to join the squad. But don’t worry, Kate won’t be left behind. She’ll be able to watch, and optionally join in on the fun.
This is one of the longest chains of events we’ve done in one update. There are four periodic events at the end.
We will try to release the next update in August, it will be about Max. We will give you more details in our next post

v0.49

0.49 is focused on Kira teaching Max and Alice the tricks of the trade. There are two series of events, Kira will be switching between the lessons. One for Alice and one for Max, back and forth, back and forth.

This will also lead to a new punishment for Max and Alice before going to sleep.

v0.48

• The first event in the story that kicks off the whole thing
• Late night movies with Lisa after midnight (3 new events)
• Kira sunbathing between 12 and 13 when Ann’s home (3 new events)
• Kira sunbathing between 12 and 13 when Ann’s isn’t home (3 new events)
• A random event during the day when Alice is punishing Lisa (3 new events)
• Alice sunbathing when Ann is around (2 new events)
• Ann smoking after midnight (2 new events)
• Ann cooking breakfast (2 new events)
• Ann taking a bath after 20:00 (3 new events)
• Ann doing yoga after 17:20 (3 new events)
• Kira watching TV after 1:00 in the living room (2 new events)
• Max sleeping in Ann’s room (3 new events)
• Max sleeping in Alice’s room (2 new events)
• Alice smoking by the pool when Ann’s not at home (3 new events)
• A new punishment event

36 new events in total, most are pretty long. As we’ve mentioned above, if there’s more than one event, the last one is always periodic.

Starting with 0.49, we will try to make smaller, but more frequent updates. The poll about 0.49’s focus should be up soon. Since 0.48 changes so many things around the villa, we recommend you playing through it before you vote on 0.49.

We’ve changed the game’s UI for importing and exporting save files. Not only you can migrate your progress without having to move individual save files manually, there’s now an option to move all of your save files at once.

v0.47
We’ve said enough about developing 0.47 in our previous posts, so let’s just skip to the things we’ve added in our latest patch.

There’s a short series of events in the college swimming class, after which Max unlocks the option to visit Julia and Kate’s house.

Once unlocked, Max will be able to visit them every day between 15:30 and 16:00. You can go to their house from Max’s villa, or you can stay in college until it’s time to go to Julia and Kate’s.

A series of events on the couch in the living room.

A series of events in the backyard.

A series of events in the basement.

Max will also get to meet Maria, Julia and Kate’s neighbor. She doesn’t have any content in 0.47, but we can develop this story if you vote for it.

Fixed bugs:
Fixed a bug where Kate could’ve asked Julia to punish her outside the house.
The New world order quest log has been expanded to be more descriptive.

0.46, Kate is the protagonist.
– The new update is all about Max joining college and Nicolas implementing new rules, related to this event.
– There’s an alternative punishment system. A big series of events, involving Kate, Max, Karen, and Sophie.
– Julia is now teaching the swimming class. Most of the events will happen in the shower after the class. We’ve reused the images from 0.45, but from Kate’s perspective. As usual, since we didn’t have to render and edit new images, it only took us a couple of days to implement these.
– Kate can now stay after the swimming class and have fun with Max in the shower.
– A teaser about Angela, Oscar, and Max for future updates.

v0.45.1
Part one of 0.45 is ready and out. This is the technical part of the update, so it doesn’t have a lot of events. Before we could do those, first we had to implement basic college functionality like getting to college and back, attending classes, etc.

The game does have introductions with college characters like classmates and teachers. Max’s college has some crucial differences compared to Kate’s college, so we recommend you read it carefully instead of skipping it, it’s not just a repeat of the old information.

We’ve already rendered over 150 images for 0.45, so we’re still working on the content part of the update. We’ll release it as soon as possible. If you want, you can wait until we release the rest of 0.45 to play the whole thing at once.

v0.43
New yoga events. Alice will finally stop ruining everything.
The same applies to the events when Ann is cooking breakfast.
New events in the evenings when Ann is taking a bath.
New events by the pool with Alice is sunbathing next to Ann.
New events with Alice and Lisa.
New events with Alice in her room.
New dress-code by the pool.

v0.42
Veronica. Kate and Veronica annul their previous agreement where they play cards and Kate wishes for Veronica to vote yes in the committee. Their relationship gets on a new level, and there’s no gambling element anymore.

Adam. Next Kate needs to find a way to make Adam always vote for the new rules.

Anatomy. Meat of the update, various new events in the anatomy class.

New dress code in the anatomy class.

A special anatomy lesson for guys.

A special anatomy lesson for ladies.

v0.41

v0.40

• Today is a good day to release 0.40. Not only it took us less than a month to make, it’s our biggest update yet! It has 30% more text than our previous record, and it has about one and a half, maybe even two times more images than our average update.We’ve managed to do everything we planned for this version. The only content we didn’t do on time is editing some of the images (there are just too many of them this time). We’ll finish them up in a couple of days and it won’t affect the release date of our next update. Once they’re done, the game should update and download new images automatically as long as you’re logged in.So, here’s what we added in 0.40 (spoilers, obviously):
• Private punishments in Ann’s room go out with an explosive finale, new punishments are in the house!
• Now that Alice gets to punish Max, the rule of equivalent exchange dictates Max gets to punish Alice in a new and exciting way for smoking!
• Late night show with Lisa and Alice gets even more fun! No spoilers here, go look it up in the game.
• Surprise, surprise turns out Alice isn’t the only smoker in the house.
• Karen’s visit to the villa will snowball into all kinds of events all over the house.
• Max will finally see college, but not in the capacity you might expect.
• What could be better than the late night events with Kira? That’s right, the same events, but with Kira and Ann!
• Deepening relationships with Ann leads to newer and even more exciting yoga events!
• Ann’s change in attitude will be clearly shown in her new early morning cooking attire.A lot of fun content. We hope you like our update.We’ve decided to make the next update for Max again. Making updates so close to the end of the month is too stressful, so we’ve decided to make a shorter update to give us some breathing room. Giving Kate a smaller update wouldn’t be fair for her, so Max gets the short end of the stick. Also Kate already has much more content than Max, so he gets to have more fun with Ann, Alice, a bit of Lisa and Kira in 0.41. In the future we want to give Max the same freedom to move around the map. It will take a lot of time, though, so it will be some time away from now.Another reason we want to make another update for Max is… well, a muse, I guess? For some reason making new content for Max has been a lot easier lately. You get more images and more text in the same amount of time whenever we’re making an update for Max. We’re not doing this on purpose and we like Kate, but it is what it is. We will come back to an even split between Kate and Max as early as we can.

v0.39

Now here are the events we’ve added in 0.39:

New pool events when Ann and Lisa are sunbathing nearby. Alice will come up to Kate and offer to have some fun.

In the evenings, when no one is watching TV, Alice will offer to watch something.

Kate can now do yoga with Ann.

Playing as Max, you’re seen a series of events during Alice’s show. Now these events exist from Kate’s perspective. This whole series of events only took us one day to implement from Kate’s perspective, by the way.

Kate can give Ann massages in the evenings.

In all of these events, Kate will have a choice between encouraging or punishing Max’s behavior. Once Max’s authority goes up or down enough, it will unlock new punishment events. You won’t get locked in your initial choice, at any point you can change your mind and influence Max’s authority in the other way to trigger events you haven’t seen.

You can check Max’s authority parameter in the Villa quest, which will also track progress with every series of events of this update.

If Max unlocks the right to punish others

And this is what happens if he gets reprimanded all the time

v0.38

v0.37

• A long series of events in Karen’s classes. Kate will have to face a series of challenges like never before.
• A series of events with Nicolas in his office, tête-à-tête. This one gets unlocked after a couple of events with Karen.
• Optional events with Oscar. Turning him down won’t have any consequences, but saying yes might lead to future events.

Another series of events with Karen, unlocks after a number of events with Nicolas.

And at the very end, an important event with Candy, who will finally get answers for many of her questions.

All events with Karen, Nicolas, and Oscar have periodic events at the end.

We tried to write down an informative quest log so no one gets lost. Every series of events (except Oscar’s, but you definitely won’t miss that one) shows you in percentages how much you’ve done so you know if you’ve completed the update.

0.37 has around 30 events and 20 dialogs, so it’s about as big as some of our latest updates.

0.37 also has some bug fixes:

• Sometimes Julia would ignore Kate turning her down and would visit her at night multiple times.
• Nick had a similar problem where he would pester Kate too often. These are bugs and weren’t intended.
• Sometimes Kate saw Nick with Julia and the basement, and Nick would come back after leaving when he wasn’t supposed to.

v0.36

People have been waiting for Lisa to lose her v-card for multiple years. Since this is a monumental occasion for both her and Max, we’ve decided to make this update extra special.
As we’ve already mentioned it in the previous post, 0.36 is our biggest update yet. It’s about 50% bigger than usual, which of course took some extra time to develop.
We don’t want to spoil too much in the change log, so just jump into the game and see everything for yourselves!

v0.35

As promised, here’s the last third of the 0.35 update. This time the events will be about Kate, Karen, and Nicolas.
Overall, 0.35 turned out to be about 50% bigger than our usual updates.
0.36 should come out on schedule, at the end of March. As a reminder, it will be focused on Lisa, Ann, and a bit of Alice.
The game should update itself automatically. Turns out we missed a couple of images in 0.35, so the game should download these correctly.
The link for the update version will be in the next post.
In 0.35 we switched the format of all jpg images to webp, so the offline PC version should lose about 770 megabytes without losing any of the image quality. But for that to come into effect, you’ll have to redownload the game.

We have two things to tell you about 0.35. First, despite February being the shortest month of the year, 0.35 has a larger size than our usual update. The second is we couldn’t finish all of it on time. 0.35 has three series of events. We’re releasing two of them today, and the last third of the update should be available in a couple of days. The two thirds of an update already in the game are roughly the same size as our usual update, and the third one will add another 50%, which will probably make 0.35 one of our biggest updates ever.

So, here’s what we’ve done for 0.35:
The update is all about Karen. One series of events is about extra lessons with Andrew while all the other classmates are busy with P.E. The other one is all Kate being punished in her basement. The third one isn’t done yet.

The last series of events will be in the principal’s office. Obviously, Karen and Nicolas will be involved. We’ll show you some images tomorrow so you know what to expect.

0.35 will eat up a couple of days in March, but we’ll try to release 0.36 without delays, at the end of the month. 0.36 will be all about Lisa losing her V card, plus some events with Alice and Lisa. We’ll write more about 0.36 in the future.

v0.34
Without too many spoilers, here’s the list of new events in 0.34:

• Kate and Julia update their home clothes.
• Julia gets a new toy
• New punishments in the basement.
• New late night events in the living room.
• New TV events in the living room.
• Julia gets a new alarm clock.
• Sunbathing in the backyard has new events.
• Joining Julia in the shower has never been more exciting.
• Since the update is focused on Julia and Kate relationship, Kate caught Julia up to speed on the newest developments in her life, along with dialogs setting up future events with various characters.

For the offline version:

• Fixed the game freezing after clicking on some sprites.
• Changed line spacing for some events.
• Improved text animation in dialogs.
• Adjusted text layout in the voting screen (laptop).

v0.32
0.32 is focused on Max, Lisa, and Olivia by the pool.
Along with new content, we’ve also made a lot of changes to the offline version.

• Various interface improvements.
• Dialogs options from the online client have been ported to the offline version.
• Fixed a bug with a stuck sound playing on a loop.
• Settings should properly work in the android version now.
• Fixed a bug where the android version would sometimes not display new images after updating.

V0.29 Part 2 Offline (fixed)
Bug fixes

v0.28 offline

Kate can finally earn money on the villa
New events with Nick and Julia in the basement
Kate can now tan topless
Extra scenes with sophie
Reduced waiting time between implementing optional and the mandatory medical exams. People had nothing to do but wait, and it wasn’t super obvious, so we’ve decided to cut it down.
Removed an outdated line in of the old quests.
Fixed a bug where sometimes Julia would bug Kate every night, even if Kate turns her down. The game was mistakenly updating the wrong cooldown, specifically one for the events with Nick and Julia. Now, when turned down, Julia will leave Kate alone for 7 to 14 days. Same goes to Julia and Nick inviting Kate to have fun together.
Increased cooldowns for the side effects from the Zoe’s pills. It used to have basically no cooldown and could possibly happen every day. Now if Kate turns someone down, the next event will have a 10-16 days cooldown (every character has their own cooldown, too). Now if Kate agrees to do stuff with Oscar, the next event will happen in 3 to 5 days.
Fixed a bug when a certain step in the massage office (in Julia’s fitness club) would display the wrong step and make things confusing.
Added a line in the Special chemistry quest when Kate would need to take the pill, and she needed more Nick and Julia progress but the game didn’t tell about that requirement.
Now Max is more than a background decoration in the villa and Kate can now talk to him.
The College committee quest becomes inactive once players complete all available content in it.
Same goes to the Cheerleading squad quest.
Now the game correctly shows Kate now wearing any underwear when she’s changing in the college medical office.
Fixed many various bugs in the offline version of the game, as well as countless typos.

v0.24 offline
The last poll showed you guys, eh, wanted 0.24 to be focused on Max, so we, eh, complied. Originally we were aiming for several smaller storylines, but then we’ve decided to focus on one specific story so it can progress further and pause it at the right time.

We don’t want to spoil the update in this post, so we’re going to be vague. After content from 0.22 (Max and Lisa watching porn together), Lisa asks about sex ed lessons with Ann. These lessons is what this update is all about. The last event is going to be long and periodic, with several choices.

At the end of the update Max is going to make an important decision which will affect future content.

v0.23 offline
The locker room
There’s a new regular event for changing into the sports uniform and swimming suit before PE and swimming classes. These two mini events check what characters are present in the locker room, their stage of undressing, and has different angles. It took plenty of sprites and some new code, but it looks really nice. We also used this new code for other events, too.

Cheerleading squad trials
So, this is where the new events start. First you need to finish the old content related to the cheerleading squad. The last step was Karen catching Kate without wearing any underwear during the uniform checkup.
Once that’s done, the next step is to ask Angela about the cheerleading squad. She’ll tell Kate to wait for the next PE class (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays). The quest log will have the hints to guide you along the way if you get lost. There are several unique new PE lessons where Angela will be talking about the new trials and earning points. You can see the number of earned points in the change log, by the way.
We don’t want to spoil too much about the trials, so we’re going to be vague here. Go and check it out yourselves.
All trials are completely optional. You can skip any of them or decide to do them at a later date.
Every trial gives Kate an opportunity to earn points. The number will vary on her behavior. Some of them are periodic and can be repeated as much as possible. Here’s a small spoiler: slapping Oscar will result in a longer cooldown, but he will be back eventually.
One of the trials involves a sex shop. For now it only sells one item, but it will increase its stock in the future.
Doing the trials will lead to various people wanting to discuss them with Kate, so there are plenty of new dialogs, too.

The final trial
The ultimate trial will let Kate earn a whole bunch of points, it is the longest event we’ve ever made. Including choices, it has 122 steps.

You can repeat the last trial to see the alternative option. We didn’t want to make a periodic version of the event with the same images but new text, so we’re going to expand it in the future. But for now, you can ask Angela and make everyone forget the final trial so you can do it again. Canonically, the event only happens once, so everyone is going to act like it’s happening for the first time and Kate won’t be earning any extra points. Or you can just save before asking Angela to set up the trial for the first time, if you want. That’s basically how it works, but you can still replay even if you forgot to make a save point.

v0.22 offline
As always, our desire to add more and more content got the better of us and we had to delay the update again. But it’s finally ready and we’re happy to present 0.22 to you. This time we’ve focused on Lisa and Max relationships.

Here’s what we’ve done (heavy spoilers ahead, skip to the the end of the post to see some extra news if you want to go into the update completely blind):

v0.21 Offline

Usually we try to release updates closer to the start of every month, but we had to delay this one for a bit since I had a mini vacation. Which is also the reason why this month didn’t have many news, we focused all our work on 0.21 so it will be released in December for every Patron tier. Thankfully, the update itself wasn’t hurt by the vacation.
0.21 is a story heavy update. It’s really hard to describe without spoiling anything, so that was pretty much the change log 🙂 Skip the rest of the paragraph if you want to avoid spoilers. We mapped this story over a year ago, and we’re excited to finally share it with all of you. It’s related to Julia’s fitness club, college, and Candy. The hotel got a new resident Neil. Unlike most characters in the game, Neil is an episodic character and his entire storyline starts and ends in 0.21. At some point in the story players will have an option to choose a long and pretty intense sex scene (periodic, too), which will also allow Kate to earn some money.
Most of the new images are 18+, so we can’t show any of them without marking the post Patrons only. We realize this post might look like we’ve just released the smallest update ever, but this post’s length is not indicative of the update’s size 🙂
As you might remember, 0.20 had a hint system, helping players to meet requirements to unlock new content. We have a similar system for 0.21, too.
Now, about 0.22. It’s going to be focused on Max. This time we’re aiming for two smaller storylines: mostly around Lisa, Kira, and Ann. A good chunk of the story beats will be really different from BB, hopefully for the better. We’re not going to set any strict deadlines, but we’ll try to release it as early as possible. Definitely sooner than this one. We will also try to post a lot more new images and news.

v0.20 offline
Every time we release a new update, we get questions about prerequirements to unlock new content. In order to make this process less convoluted, we’ve decided to make a “smart” quest in the quest log. It’s called “0.20 (spoilers)”, and it will tell you what requirements you’ve met, and what things still need to be done. Once you meet all requirements, the game will replace it with a traditional quest telling you about the next step.
Home punishment system. If Kate doesn’t do her homework or talk during class, she will be sent to the principal’s office. If she skips that, she will have to be punished at home, and Julia will be happy to help Kate out. Most of the update is related to the punishments, so this storyline has many steps and at some point will unlock the option for Kate to submit to Julia, Nick, or both. For now once Kate submits it can’t be undone because there’s no point to go back. But when we add new events where Kate decides to change the rules of the game and try something else, we will add an option to undo the submission without having to replay the whole game.
Random events in the basement. If Kate submits to Nick, once every couple of days Nick and Julia will start having fun in the basement. This is a series of events with the periodic event at the end. These new events will replace Nick and Julia events on the sofa watching TV when Kate returns from college.
In order to see new events, Kate should stay in college until at least 11:00 (or, better yet, until 14:00-15:00), and then go home right away.
New events with Sophie and Alice (as long as Kate had sex with Alice at least once). Alice can now visit Kate’s house. In the future we will add an option to invite some characters to stay overnight.
Added sounds to all locations. There might be some issues because we just added it into the game and there are 3455 steps for various events and it’s hard to test every last one of them. Please let us know if you find any issues.
You can now name your save files. If you have multiple save files, keeping track on them should be much easier. We also increased the maximum saves number from 10 to 20.
The main menu now displays information about the current version of the game on the server and your current access. Hopefully, this will make more clear if you have the access to the latest version of the game.
From now on you can close some interface menus like profile, inventory, and quest log by pressing ESC. We will add this functionality for some other situations like canceling zooming in (the pool in the villa), in some events, etc. We will be adding them in individual situations to make sure it makes sense and makes UI more accessible and intuitive.
There was a lot of work put into October update so we could release it early. But it’s time to take a little break. I’ve been working on Glamour and Big Brother for three years without any breaks and never took more than one day off in a row. It’s time to have a small vacation, I’ll be gone for the next 10 days. I’ll recharge my batteries and return to developing Glamour with a newfound energy. The rest of the team will keep working on the game, so the development as a whole will still keep going.

v0.19
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:

Cameras. Now Max has a quest that will unlock an option to install hidden cameras all over house. For now they don’t earn any money since Max doesn’t really have many ways to spend it. Max will start earning money once he’ll start buying presents, inviting people to expensive dates, etc.
For now you can just buy first three cameras on a sale and install them in the three rooms with most action. Spying through cameras is already implemented, even in the bathroom.

Online shop is now working. You can order a couple of new things (like cameras) once you unlock them. Max will be able to order sunscreen if he didn’t get one for free in 0.16.

In house delivery. New character Sarah (you’ve already heard about her). Funny girl with her own story, there will be more content with her both with Max and with Kate in the future. For now she’ll only be delivering stuff for Max.

Telescope. Max can order one on Epay and Sarah will deliver it. Since the cameras don’t earn anything yet, the telescope is on a huge sale so you don’t have to grind ridiculous amount of time. If you haven’t seen our previous posts, we’ll let you figure out how Max will use it for yourselves.

Peeking in the shower. Now Max can peek on Alice, Lisa, and Ann through the window. Sometimes he’ll get caught. At some point Ann will decide she’s had enough and Max will have to face consequences.

Punishments. Eventually Ann will announce the new punishment system. Lisa will be punished for failing grades, Alice for smoking, and Max for peeking. Max has an exception with two warning system. Once there’s been 5 punishments before breakfast/dinner, Ann will make punishments more severe, and she’ll do it once more after 10.
From now on Max can make mistakes in Lisa’s homework and look for Alice’s cigarettes so she gets caught by Ann.

Spiders and Alice. Max can now throw spiders in Alice’s room. She will run to Max for help. There’s a series of events, keep throwing new spiders until the quest log tells you there’s no more content.

Yoga. Ann had a change in schedule so now she does yoga about an hour before dinner. Max can join and have lots of fun. For now this storyline doesn’t have a lot of content, but there will be much more in the future.

Sounds. We’ve done a lot of work implementing sounds into the game. They help with living up the game and adding atmosphere. It’s also completely optional and you can turn it off, if you want. Unfortunately, we’ve hit a small snag and decided not to delay the whole update just for sounds since they’re not absolutely necessary. For now all sounds are turned off, but we will turn them on in a couple of days.
NPC mapping. Technically, it was added in 0.18, but now you can actually see it in new dialogs and events. There will be a dedicated post going into more details about it soon.

As you can see, we’ve done a lot of work. The poll is still open, but it looks like the next update will be focused on the basement, Julia, and home punishments (new college rule). If we have enough time, Kate will be able to invite Alice or Sophie to her house.

Today is October 11th and we are releasing 0.19 for our $40 Patrons. Next week on October 18th, it will be released for our $20 Patrons. Four days later on October 22nd, 0.19 will be released for our $10 Patrons. And three days after that, on October 25th, it will become available for our $5 Patrons. October 25th will also be the release day for an offline version of 0.18.
