HoHH Release - Harlot Tester v0.001

End of the month and I do have a release, of sorts.

The past couple of months working on the notebook functionality has made me conscious I'm trying to work 2 jobs simultaneously. 3 if you count QA testing. Ideally a project like this would separate the roles of writer and programmer, but it is what it is. I just have to work harder. :D

Where I can find additional help is with the testing. The repeated cycles of having to go back and test everything again after a change in the notebook framework code ate up a lot of time. What I've decided to do is make my harlot tester program available for patrons/subscribers to play around with. This removes the overall game part and allows the player to select each harlot directly and run through their scenario. There is a fairly simple page beforehand that allows the player to directly set their character attributes before running the scenario. While this wasn't intended for public use, it should be reasonably straightforward to use. It's also really convenient if you just want to skip everything and go right to the harlot scenario of choice!

It does make some things a little spoilery, such as listing what each charm does. I was a little reluctant to release it, but I think the benefit I'll get from having additional eyes on each scenario is worth it. It's also a nice treat and thank you for the patrons/subscribers who are funding the project development. This does give a little peek inside what's going on with the game.

I've attached the program here as a .zip file. As with the other HoHH releases, PC users should unzip it and the .html file should play in their web browser of choice. This won't work on mobile so I've updated the houseofhellishharlots website to add a "Harlot Tester" button to the experimental section. Follow that to find the release.

I was hoping to release it with the notebook sections done for some addition harlots, but the week ended up being pretty hectic. I have 3 in progress (Friesya, Nicolette and Chen), but they're not quite ready and I didn't want to panic-rush given how many problems that's given me recently.

For now the only harlots with notebook functionality are Morticia, Bebi, Asphya and Sapoonis.

I will update it with more harlots as they're finished. I'm hoping to get 2-3 done a week until I'm caught up with the full low-tier roster.

It should be a fun tool to use. Let me know what you think below.
