Preview Release - version 116

No update today.

Instead, we have a preview build. Version 116 is up for download.

Please keep in mind that this is a preview/indev build. Its main goal is testing the item system and item selection. There's are no important content extensions in this version. However, the next version I'm releasing will be a proper update to the narrative, focusing on sexually harassing your landlord, maybe.

Now, if you are interested in giving this a try, there are a few things I'd like to hear about!

Firstly, did any of the item descriptions come off as too vague for you? We are already aware that this is an issue with some of the more unusual items and we're planning to get that fixed ASAP.

Secondly, did you find the game lacking any specific items? This is only the first batch of clothing we're including, and we have plans for a lot more stuff. If you note something as missing, we'll see about adding it to the list (if it's not already there) and might reconsider the order in which items are added if a lot of people ask for something specific.

Thirdly, if you do happen to find a nice combination of items, show it off. We might take queues for starting outfits and outfit packs from what people post.

Now, the final question is how to get into testing the items?

Get home. If you've never played the game before, I suggest you import a character for the moment. If you're starting the game, you have a bit of an initial part to help you define your character and bootstrap some interactions with Cornelius. It only takes a moment before you end up alone in your new home.

From there, go to your bedroom and pick the debug wardrobe.

Now you'll have access to a list of items you can spawn. The sorting relies on three tiers: the slot, the item template and the items generated from that template. Currently, the Corset and Hand slot lack items; this was intentional. Corsets are definitely on the list for the next update though.

Once you select some items you want to throw on, you can do that from the menu here.

The items you are wearing are visible from the Check equipped option. You need to take items off before you put them on. Sometimes you might find yourself unable to put on or take off items, depending on the order you dress yourself in. Just try to be reasonable about the order of operations, and you'll get the hang of it.

So yeah, that's that. Enjoy the preview, hopefully.

As another announcement, I was at the doctor today, and I might have some stitches. It's hard for me to say if I'll be able to do the regular weekly update next money. If I can't, I'll do a double update in two weeks.
