Course of Temptation Update 0.2.17

As you can see, we've gone through a few revisions since the last update, mostly bugfixes but some minor content additions too.

Unless I discover any especially annoying bugs still lingering, this one is probably going to be the public build for the next little while as I work on the next major update: adding the streamer career.

Mechanics:

• Added a department store at Riverside Plaza where you can buy things like upgraded beds, a minifridge, and things to prepare food with.
• Implemented early levels of the Cooking skill, used to prepare food in your dorm (nothing fancy, think instant ramen and stir fry).
• Added difficulty options to let you adjust skill gain rate, need decay rate, and debt payments.
• Added a few more options in post-encounter events so you're not always kicked straight out of the house.
• Added some useful indicators to the minimized sidebar, which should help mobile users a bit.
• Added the ability to customize your best friend's appearance during character generation.
• Additional world generation options: student gender distribution, bits sizes.
• A few new events here and there.

Bugfixing and polishing:

• Rebalanced money and income, particularly from the arcade, since players were ending up with unspent thousands. Will reevaluate now that there are dorm things to buy.
• Boosted the attitude changes that occur at the end of a date or hangout.
• Eliminated duplicate items appearing in your wardrobe.
• Shop items with color options will now require you to make a selection instead of defaulting to indigo.
• As a failsafe, encounters that go on for a lot of rounds for whatever reason can now be aborted.
• Clothing is no longer immediately restored if you're required to strip during an exhibitionist sneaking event.
• Fixed a loophole where if you passed out while sneaking around naked, you'd wake up in the clinic still naked and now able to walk around freely.
• Fixed an issue where NPCs could perform "top" actions from the bottom in several cases, making them appear to be extremely flexible.
• Lots of other misc things.
