Good morning, and I've got some happy news for you. It's time for the newest version to go public! What's in the release, you ask? Well, there's a changelog at the end of the post, but you can also listen (read) me prattle on about it.

The majority of the new content is still invisible improvements and new mechanics that aren't really apparent to the player, but there's a lot of new stuff happening behind the scenes. And I did manage to squeeze in a short main story chapter and some club scenes for some girls!

So, as I said in my previous post, there will be five new rooms you can research. Sadly, the amount of events isn't super great, but the few personal events that I added were made with love and care. Natalie and Jennifer got a couple of events, Samantha kinda got two, Lilith got one and Hannah got a whopping three massage events.

All the new jobs are unlockable now! More advanced jobs will make you more money and the girls who are shared hostesses might do more lewd things during the night. The more experienced the girl is, the more experience she'll receive even in new jobs, so leveling all the jobs will become less bothersome after maxing out a few of them.

Changelog:
- 350+ renders
- A small new main story chapter with a lewd event
- Personal club events for Natalie, Hannah, Samantha, Jennifer and Lilith
- Five new rooms for the hostess club
- All hostess jobs are now available
- New option in the settings to enable/disable NTR content (hostesses will be stuck as private hostesses if disabled)
- A new research option that should reduce the annoyance of reassigning girls all the time
- New cheat code is required to access cheats
- Journal now has a small cheat menu that you can use to get money (it will be expanded in the next update) if you're a supporter on Patreon/SubscribeStar
- Fixed a bunch of corruption / girlfriend status checks (those girlfriend checks kinda do nothing right now since only Natalie can be girlfriended atm, but they're there waiting!)
- Remade the inventory, item and shop systems so that it should be less prone for bugging out due to rollbacking, I hope
- Amanda's dialogue will no longer boot you to main menu
- Added some skill check notifications to dialogues that were just silently checking them (there's still a lot of work to be done on this front)

Hotfix 1:
- Fixed crashes when visiting bookstore on new saves (maybe old saves as well)
- Hostess club tutorial should no longer throw you back into the main menu
- All implemented coffee dates should always use the correct name of the girl you're with
- Removed some lingering legacy code for old shops which might reduce errors related to items and shops
- Added a safeguard to Serena's storyline in case it might not progress on its own when it should
- Fixed one of Serena's hints
- School theater should again show the backdrop

Hotfix 2:
- Fixed Shirley's corruption check never passing after workout
- Fixed asking Shirley to train twice in one day throwing you back to main menu

It's been a while and thus it's time to give you guys an update on where I'm at with the next update!

The Club is expanding!

Since last update laid a lot of groundwork to build on, I've been hard at working putting some flesh on those bony parts of the game. The game has a new short main story chapter which will unlock new club research options. Mainly five new rooms for the club! Or, maybe it's four club rooms and one special room that's not used in the same fashion...

Also, all the previously locked career/job options are now unlocked. To tell you the truth, most of my time went into the club simulation for the new rooms and the jobs. Maybe excessively so and by the end of it I kinda questioned whether I should have taken some shortcuts with the simulation system. Alas, what is done is done. It might need some tweaking here and there, and I'm guessing there will be errors because there's thousands of lines of new code for the jobs and rooms.

I didn't want the new update to be completely void of actual content, so I'm currently working on adding some new events to the club. Most of them will have varying degrees of lewdness to boot! You will mostly see the usual suspects: Natalie, Hannah, Jennifer and Samantha - you (or the customer) will finally get that private dance you've been promised all this time. I thought it might be best to focus on them a bit more so that there's actually some corruption to be had. Though the corruption isn't really visible outside of the club events right now. Eventually, the corruption level will change the way the girls talk and what activities they will do on their free time. But that's probably far in the future...

Well, that depends. My real work's been busting my nuts, but I've been trying to dedicate a set amount of hours on the project each week. And I'd like to add more events to the club! More things for you to play through and discover! The current version already has about 200 renders to it, so I've been busy.

If I'll stick with only five or so rendered events, the beta version might be out in a week or two. If I were to go above and beyond with the content, it will take 1-2 more weeks still. Especially if I want to add some reactivity and causality to the events. It's something I'd very much like to do, but it might be best to save it for the updates that will focus purely on new events

After this update, I will work on reworking on the school mechanics. And some things need to happen or the players won't be able to fill the ever expanding club with hostesses... So, the school and grading system will be reworked, and there will be goals you will want to reach. Achieving the goals will net you special requests or privileges, such as choosing a new school uniform for the girls.

So, the yesterday's hotfix didn't work after all. Turns out a piece of code I used doesn't work once RenPy packs the game files into .rpa archives. The problem is now smoothed out and it's been tested by some kind volunteer patrons ♥ Thank you for that!

Changelog:
- Research screen is really fixed now (consider yesterday an April Fool's joke)
- Fixed a couple of wordings in the dialogues that rubbed me the wrong way
