Bug fixes & Optimizations

• Fixed continuity issues at the university.

• Fixed minor bugs.

• Fixed minor typos and other grammatical errors.

• Added missing punctuation.

• Changed $args to _args, effectively making it a temporary variable. This should help declutter some save files, and hopefully still feature the same effect. If something is broken, please report the bug to the discord server so I can assess and fix.

• Dating someone and showering at Tommy’s place will now no longer give them access to his place.

• Changed how some of the switch cases are randomly made by removing the _rng setter and adding the “random()” tag to the switch setter instead for ease of use.

• Changed some instances of if/else to switch case scenarios.

• Removed unnecessary linebreaks.

New Content

• Continued work on new location; Seaside, Docks and Modelling Studio. Also added more to story continuation so that we can soon add a lot to that. Finished some side story to Pierre and the docks as well as wrote out location text for Seaside.

• Added “Unstuck” button in Help menu for players getting stuck in playable endings.

• Added dialog variations for different upbringings in current events and random dialog with NPCs.

• Added a unique buzzword array set for each of the 7 upbringings in the game. Also shortened the individual buzzword array from 83 to 80 strict. The new arrays mimic something in the 7 upbringings, while keeping a professional tone.

• Added Caine to the dating system. He will have a cooldown of 6 days when breaking up. He will have a wait count of 3 days.

• Showering at Tommy’s place while dating him will yield a scene and the correct flavortext and dialog.

• If you do not have a phone while meeting with Tommy, Tommy will give one to you.

• Added a color to Tommy dialog. Let me know if there are somewhere I am missing.

• Changed the Tommy stats variable to include him into the dating system. This may or may not reset your love points with Tommy once.

• Increased chance to meet Tommy from 1/500 to 1/300. He is now almost as common as a cat.

• Chatting with Tommy now has 5 different chat-versions for more variability.

• When dating Zack, you now have the option to take him on day-long dates like you can with Lily, Noah and Otto.
