Final update before v0.7's Patreon launch. New Mei art, and the outline.

Hey everyone! I'll share as much as I can with the current state of the game.

We'll start with everything in v0.7. Unfortunately the side quest took a bit more time than I was hoping, but I will still try to get as many of the previously mentioned QoL features in there as possible.  I'll start with the things that will for sure be in the build:

Major:

• New Character: Boba
• New Modifiers: Ghost, ???(The 2nd modifier will likely a 1 star(white) card.
• New Game Type(sort of): Boba's exhibition arc (will elaborate more later in the post)
• Pica Endurance mode
• A "secret" Hscene. (A variant of Boba's Hscene... except Samga may or may not be involved in some manner).

Minor:

• New Campsite Menu Layout
• Option to darken Hscenes for players who want to focus on the game easier.
• There are now notes on S and SS purchases stating coins will not be spent
• Platforming section's electric floor had it's final section removed.

Given pending time, I will still try to put some of these in:

• A more accurate default calibration offset for WebGL builds
• Glass modifier to display it's status/range during the game.
• Combo counter
• Auto mode for sandbox modes (this is will likely need to wait for v0.8, but we'll see)
• Certain minor bug fixes
• Configuring location/intensity of "Perfect/Hit/Overclick" effects.
• Timing lines/outlines on notes to give visual spacing clarity.
• Separation of "Quest" items and "Pin-ups" in the Reputation section of the shop.

Looking at that last list, it's pretty unlikely I get them all in. Traditionally I would have liked to start the bug testing phase today. There were some minor setbacks, but I'm going to try and wrap up all the essentials in the next 2 days here. While the main bug testing is happening I will see about adding some smaller features. There is a TON I want to do, but priority number 1 is getting the featured character's base content delivered every month.

Time to elaborate on some things that may have been quite vaguely touched upon:

Boba is a bit of a shut-in. She has a high ego, but doesn't associate much with the other characters from the camp aside from Ruth, who is considered a friend. She will also sometimes talk business with Samga. Upon completing Boba's base Hscene you will be given the first opportunity to give Boba a challenge. The player will put a vibrator on Boba, and have Toto invited over. Boba and Toto are quite unfamiliar with eachother, but the objective is to have Boba climax in front of Toto without negotiations falling apart or completing.

Completing this "tutorial" of sorts will unlock Boba's Endurance. When you complete her endurance the rest of the arc will open up. This includes conversations with Samga and Ruth, along with a secret scene with Samga and Boba (if you choose a certain dialogue route). 

Progression through this arc will open up options for Boba's base dialogue options with the player. Depending on how far you are, you can get her to flash you in various ways, or get her to strip specific pieces of clothing.

The game has quite complex dialogue trees, actually (this is what took a lot of the time ahah) I'll give you a sneak peak on what tree looks like between Toto and Boba.

This LOOKS like a lot, but I assure these are mostly just variations in dialogue. The amount of time you will be engaged in this conversation will actually be fairly short. Depending on how the characters act you will want to choose whether to boost, or let up on the vibrator. If you go too hard, the other party might begin to feel uncomfortable, or have another reason for leaving negotiations. If you go too light, the negotiations will likely complete without you fulfilling your objective.

That's about as in-depth as I can get for this section. You will have to play it to see the rest :P.

FINALLY:

With v0.8 just around the corner, we are finally focusing on the Shopkeeper who we have named Mei. Her current art was mostly to fill in the blank. Now that we are going to be focusing on her, AmHidden has whipped up new art for her with the attention she deserves.

This art won't be present until v0.8, however this art will be in the sneak peaks for v0.7 along with a Nude version for you SS folk.

With that, I need to get back to work. I have a ton of things I need to get done before the end of the month. This one was a long winded post, but I hope you guy's enjoyed the contents of it, and I hope you all enjoy Boba and v0.7. I will see you all on launch day! Have a good week until then!

Thanks everyone!
