🌟 Development Update: Progress, Improvements, and New Content 🌟

Dear Player's,

Thank you for your continued support and belief in Out of Puberty. Over the past few weeks, I’ve made significant progress in refining the game, addressing feedback, and expanding content. Below is a detailed overview of the updates, improvements, and new additions to the project.

🐛 Bug Fixes & Technical Improvements

Ensuring a smooth and polished experience for players has been a top priority. Here’s a summary of the key fixes and improvements:

• Fairy in the Mountains Glitch: Resolved a missing label error caused by leftover files in Ren’Py, ensuring seamless access to the Fairy.
• Gallery Glitch: Fixed an issue where the Gallery would glitch over scenes after being visited. It now functions seamlessly.
• Walkthrough Accuracy: Updated the Walkthrough to reflect accurate corruption points, ensuring players have the correct information to progress.
• Valentine’s Special Glitch: Fixed a grammatical error in the code, allowing the Step-Father’s Valentine’s Special scene to work perfectly.
• Wallet Save Issue: Actively working on a persistent issue where money reverts after saving and reloading. While the money isn’t lost, this fix remains a priority.
• Shop Glitch: Fixed an issue where skipping time in the Shop would cause the store to disappear, leaving only the clerk visible and breaking the game.
• Café Glitch: Resolved a bug where skipping time in Luca’s Café would unexpectedly send players back to Pearl’s room.
• AutoSave Feature: Added AutoSave functionality when Pearl sleeps or takes a nap, with notifications to inform players when the game saves.
• Mica Scene Fix: Fixed an issue where finishing the last Mica scene in V0.35 would send players back to the last scene they played.

✨ Quality Improvements

Several quality-of-life (QoL) updates have been implemented to enhance the player experience:

• Wallet Clarity: The Wallet now accurately reflects actions, clearly stating “withdraw” or “deposit” instead of incorrect labels.
• Step-Father Level 1 Scene: A previously prepared but unimplemented scene has been coded and will be available in the next update.
• Map Access: Added buttons to return to the map from job locations (Café, Store, Model), giving players more control over their actions.
• Job Map Updates: The top-right corner in job maps now includes access to the World Map and Wallet. Skipping time is temporarily disabled in job maps to prevent issues until night cycles are unlocked.
• Corruption Notifications: Changed from “Corruption +1” to “Corruption +” to accommodate larger numbers and multi-person scenarios.

🎬 New Scenes & Content

Significant progress has been made in expanding the game’s content, with a focus on introducing new characters and storylines:

Photo Studio & Troy

• Photo Studio Intro: The introduction to the Photo Studio is complete, featuring a new character, Troy. He and Eric know each other… but they’re not exactly friends.
• Modelling Job: The first introduction scene for the Modelling job is implemented, along with 10 new scenes featuring Troy. These include alternative versions of photoshoots, adding variety and replayability.

Mica’s Storyline

• 2 New Scenes: Added to continue Mica’s questline, featuring 19 new animations.
• Level 1 Content: Introduced a new relationship step with Mica, including a Level Up scene with 16 animations.
• Repeatable Content: Added repeatable interactions with Mica at home, featuring 23 animations.
• Watersport Options: Added new options for players who enjoy additional variety.
• Total Animations: Mica’s storyline now includes 58 new animations.

Mia’s Storyline

• 2 New Scenes: Added to Mia’s storyline, featuring 4 animations. These scenes are tied to leveling up and will unlock additional content.

🚀 Future Plans

Looking ahead, the focus will be on:

• Expanding public shenanigans and outdoor adventures.
• Developing more scenes for the Step-Father and Step-Mother storylines.
• Wrapping up Mica’s Level 0 content and introducing hints of Level 1 to maintain timeline consistency.
