Hi everyone! Big news this week! Moonflow is back to regular availability, which is frankly great news for future development of the game. How so? Well, Moonflow is the mastermind behind the whole avatar system, alongside pretty much every icon in the game and the vast majority of tattoos.

With them being more available, I can once again consider working on the avatar, but also to return to improving the UI in more significant manners. But the whole stuff doesn't stop there. Indeed, it also means, for the Subscribers, the return of the old monthly goals (Woohoo! FS-Chan is back on the menu!).

So yeah, welcome back Moonflow!

Now for the new content this week. I've added three new events to the Gas Station which expand on the storyline a little. For this week, I added a few events tied to sealing the gloryhole. However, those events are only tied with the Homekeeping branch!

I've also considered adding the sealing of the gloryhole as a random mishap, however, I think this will have to wait until I add an alternate location with a gloryhole before I get around to it.

Anyway, that's all for this week. I'll be adding new events next week too, but those will be for all branches!

Hello everyone, hope everyone is doing well. So this week I've been working on adding new interactions to the Gloryhole. 

Now, you may be wondering what I mean by that as there are already a lot of different possible interactions within that area, but there are two things I've addressed this time around.

First, there is now a special event for dominant players. That's right, there's dominant content in this update, something that happens like once a year! I'm really happy to have gotten something suitable and I will be trying to find some more for the gloryhole, but it's been few and far between for now.

Second is another event tied to the risk mechanic. For this one, I took inspiration of other events at the Gas Station whereas you have multiple option. However, they don't have multiple outcomes quite yet. I've put one per option for now and we'll see if I decide to thicken it or add more like it with different interaction sets instead.

Rest assured, I still have plenty of plans for the Gas Station, but I wanted to start with some of the more fun stuff before going with more trivial events. Rest assured that there will also be some more lewd events in the "work" storyline, still, but more on that next week!

Hey everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying the new content. The release has been surprisingly smooth, which I'm really happy with. Of course it means a little less eyes on the game, but the smoother experience does mean I end up with a little more time to work on the next update.

But before I talk about plans, I wanted to mention a pretty big fix that will have major repercussions for the gameplay in the future. As it turns out, I kinda messed up back when I created the crossdressing convincingness system and... Tops and Bottoms never added any score because outfits would overwrite the value to 0 whenever they weren't worn. To address this issue, I changed the checks for tops, bottoms and outfits and well, one of the oldest bugs in the code is now finally resolved! I'd like to thank plasma defender over on Discord for finding the issue. There's not a whole lot of code diggers as far as I'm aware, but it's always awesome to have someone proofreading everything and helping get those issues ironed out.

Anyway, what's the plan for this update. Well, as the roadmap indicates, it's going to be all about the Gas Station. I never really planned on adding any new content there as, to me, it was always meant to be the starter job where the Player would barely scrape by, but Players love it as a reliable income source and as a way to get some emergency money. Plus, the Gloryhole is located there and, with the new vehicles, the Gas Station is also a must go location to refuel the Player's car.

So what should you expect? Well, I'm not planning on overhauling the location, to be clear, however, I plan on adding whole new events, be they random ones or some made to give more depth to the story. At this point, it is overdue and as a central location to the main gameplay loop, I think it will have a positive impact for old and new players alike.

So that's it for this week. I'd love to hear your thoughts in the coming days and see you all next sunday!

Hey everybody! Shorter Dev Diary this week as the release is right around the corner. Instead of talking about the work of the week, I'll be talking about my plans for the upcoming month, alongside various news. Anyway, you'll get to see all of the new shiny stuff tomorrow!

So on the official channels front, the new Community Server is now up and running on Stoat ! So far, only a few of you have joined there and I,ll be happy to see those who want to move there. The Discord isn't going anywhere so far, but when/if global age verification becomes a thing on Discord, this is where the community will officially migrate, so might as well get in early!

For the SubscribeStar update now, I've decided to tweak the $500 reward goal to reflect Moonflow's unavailability to produce official FS-Chan art. Instead I will be hosting a monthly stream where I'll be working on the game live where I'll be polling on if I play another game or work on Fresh Starts live. I'm not quite sure how I'll work out dealing with chat. But I think like it could be something interesting for the community.

Who knows, maybe I'll be able to create some fun goals in the future as well with that!

Anyway, I'm going to get back to finalizing things for tomorrow's update. See you all then!

Hello everyone! Hope everyone's enjoying the relative warmth of late February. I've been pretty happy about it myself because of the rather early frigid cold we've had here over since November. I've been continuing the quest for a more stable schedule to no avail, but through sheer luck, my sundays remain fairly free with a lone exception for March.

As for the migration, I will be opening a Stoat server soon for the community in order to help deal with the whole Discord verification issue. Hopefully this will help most beleaguered users across the globe, but I have yet to find a good alternative for users in the UK and Australia to my chagrin. Do stay tuned for the official launch sometimes this week.

So what about the work for this week. Well, I've been working on adding another week of content to the cheerleading content, featuring a new optional event this time around. The backend changes I have made last week will actually come in handy this week too as the new bonus event happens during the week end too! This actually sums up the content done for this week.

I've also had the pleasure to interact with a few of you all this week when I was gathering some feedback on the plans to go content first for this year as much as possible. The general reception is super positive, which I am grateful for even if I am not exactly surprised. I heard some of the feedback from the community and plan on updating the roadmap this week to reflect some of the gathered comments. It's always a pleasure to interact with you all and I'm planning on working towards improving this too.

Speaking of, I'm in the final stages of planning for the reworked SubscribeStar goals. I do want to offer some cool new rewards to the community for their combined support, but as Moonflow remains fairly busy with other endeavors, I want to step up for all of you until their return!

See you all next week!
