Update 23rd Feb '25

Back to it this week, sort of...

Work on updating the NPCs to add shop windows and autosave functionality has been a little sluggish. I normally give myself a designated slot in the day to work on it, but noticed I wasn't making much progress.

I want to get this done and out of the way so I have a stable core and can go back to porting the harlots over. So, to try and unjam it, I gave it full focus this week. Work was still fairly sluggish, but I've managed to get The Doctoress updated and you can see the results in the screenshot above.

It's still a bit rough and needs a fair bit of work, but everything is roughly in the right place. I think the underlying code is fine, so it's just a case of neatening up the display. Don't worry if you think it looks bad now. This is more placeholdery than the Buxom Lolibaba's shop. I'll come back to it and make it prettier later (or get someone in to make it prettier). For now I needed something in place that works. Which it does. I also had to redo The Doctoress's potion-selling section. I've tested that as well as her other code, so I'm mostly done with her.

I'm going to continue with giving the revamp full focus until I have the core updated. I'm currently tweaking the Elegant Woman to give her shop window and I want to add charm and ailment icons to the character sheet. While I'm at it, I think now might be a good time to add the title page as I have the art for it.

This has changed my plans somewhat as work on the slime nun had to go back on the backburner. My current aim will be to focus on the core improvements and get a new demo out sometime around the end of Feb start of Mar.

It's a bit chaotic, but I'd like to get the core HoHH code back to stable so I can start adding the harlots again.

Thanks for the patience and support.
