Update 26th Sep '21
Added 2021-09-26 23:06:29 +0000 UTCStill working away on the v0.24 release. Not as much progress this week as I was away for most of the weekend.
New Harlot: Pêl-V Gnoi
Implementation is in progress.
New Harlot: Boobfairy
About halfway through typing up.
New Harlot (Repeat Scenario): Osculia Suffocati
Her repeat scene is written and about half is typed up.
Selection Algorithm
This is where the bulk of the work was spent this week. I tested the tweaks to make sure they worked and fixed a bunch of bugs in the process. This should give me some versatility in having some harlots force repeat appearances (Osculia is the example and you should see what I mean with the next release).
The next big step was to have a slightly different algorithm for the mini-boss round 5. I don't have any mini-boss harlot scenarios yet, but I do have some late-round harlots I could do with moving back a few rounds. As part of this change I re-organised the harlots into different factions (essentially, a couple of loosely connected groupings to fit alongside the smotherers and artificial beings) and set some as temporary mini-bosses. This allows me to test the changes as well as reducing the chances of new players getting 3 'killers' as their 1st round choice.
Next week I'll focus on getting v0.24 out. It will be tight. I had a lot to do this month and wanted to make sure I also had a couple of new harlots as well. At the moment I'm aiming for all the changes needed for the new public demo + 2 new harlots + additional scene for Osculia.
Thanks for the interest and support!

Comments
Still in progress. I didn't like how the draft was turning out, so I put it on the side to come back to later. Even though I've shifted focus back to filling out factions equally rather than concentrating on one, I still want to get her done as a test case for a conditional scenario where two harlots will team up on a player (her and Mamilla).
