A Very Full House Update - v0.39! 📝

Update Highlights

• New Chore Types - Chores now come in different types, giving some mechanical variety to the daily grind. The new 'Satisfaction' chore type enables chores that aren't ever really done, but are influenced by your long term behaviour. 'Quest', 'Timed', and 'Opportunity' chores all represent short term, one-off tasks with different triggers for succeeding or failing. And finally, 'Condition' chores aren't something you can interact with directly; they're more like a buff that will impact your other actions.
• New Events - Getting too worked up? Take a cold shower to try and get a handle on your libido. Or, embrace the feeling and pet your eager kitty while you've got the chance! Working out around the Jock has also gotten a little more exciting when he's taking his Brotein supplement.
• New Art - Placeholder art continues to be filled in, with improvements to some of the bedroom assets. UI elements and style have also been refined, with better text bubble positioning for NPCs based on their height, and better readability for the narration window.
• Goldkini Swimsuit Variants (Supporter Only) - The MCILF, Firebrand, and Cheerleader now have gold versions of their bikinis. These variants are currently only available to supporters and can be enabled/disabled from the supporter perk app. In the future they will be made available for everyone, along with a little bit of content for unlocking them.

• Added AbstractChore class to hold all of the information that is common to all chores.

• Refactored chore list app. Chore classes can now define a 'chore_display_applet' class variable, which should correspond to a screen that will be Used to display the chore info, with the chore handed as the only parameter.
