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.
