Update on the Update

So, the the beta version (v0.3.4.95b) of the update was posted on Discord earlier this evening (If you're a $5 sub and you're not on Discord, you can DM me to ask for a download link). The plan was to release the update to subscribers this evening, but during beta, a few issues were found:

Showstopper Bugs [These MUST be fixed before release]
  • After Aunt Charlotte has her altercation with Brooke, the game gets stuck with the journal saying, "You suspect there's not much more progress you can make today."
  • After Aunt Charlotte arrives, the quest journal on that day will say "You thought you heard the shower running midday" however, if you go to the Bathroom, Meredith won't be showering unless you sleep until the next day to refresh her schedule.
  • With the pair of Musty Gym Shorts, if you click on Meredith in the Shower closeup (not clicking on her tits), two instances of them appear.
  • With the pair of Clean Gym Shorts, if you click on Meredith in the Shower closeup (not clicking on her tits), the gym shorts option doesn't appear.

Minor Bugs [These might get fixed before release if they're not too hard]
  • Found and fixed about 30 typos throughout the game found from spell check (out of 11,442 lines of dialogue). [Michelangelo, occurred, Antarctica, upset, ultimately, were among the words misspelled]
  • Using the Summon Nicole button in the upstairs bathroom does nothing.
  • During the shower scene, if you choose "Just put the tip in", Meredith gives a humorous "That's how Brooke was conceived" line, but the delays between each line are too long.

Nitpicks [These are unlikely to get fixed for the release, but might make it into a hotfix]
  • During the Meredith shower scene, if you put the thigh job at the fastest speed and then choose "Put It In", after restoring from the Sierra Death, the motion goes back to medium speed and the only available speed option is "Go Slower..."
  • When the cash register sound effect fires from Aunt Irene giving you money to avoid foreclosure, the subsequent quest advance sound completely blocks it, indicating the two sounds are on the same Sound object. [Not going to bother fixing this unless a hotfix is needed]
  • When hacking into the school computer, the STUDENT NAME: field is hardcoded to BROOKE, even if you've given the sister a different name.
  • The outdoor mattes outside Brooke's Window (the tree and building across the street) don't show snowfall during the Winter event.
  • Continuity Error: Family photo in upstairs hallway says Aunt Irene was added to the photo shoot six months ago, which contradicts what she says when we meet her.
  • Continuity Error: In the Meredith Tit job scene, there's a line where she says, "You little Devil!" when you ask her to go all the way. Referring to MC as a "Little Devil" is Aunt Charlotte's language and this line should be changed.
  • Diner outdoor matte does not show snowfall during the Winter Event.
  • After receiving a thigh job in the shower from Meredith, the time advances when you return to the upstairs bathroom, but the ambient shower SFX are still playing.

I will fix the showstoppers and whatever minor bugs and nitpicks can be done quickly, but the rest of it will have to wait until the next update. This should take about a day to complete. I apologize once again for the delay.


Update v0.3.5 Changelog 

Here is the stated changelog for the update:

Notes
  • This update advances Meredith's story by introducing a new character (Aunt Charlotte), presenting the problem of a nosy, religious aunt character moving into the house and imposing her morals on the house, ultimately resulting in your currently earned "privileges" with Meredith and Brooke to be taken away until you can find a way to deal with her.
  • This update is Part 1 (of 2) of the Aunt Charlotte arc and the content for her will be the first couple of quests and cut scenes to establish her character. There are no sex scenes (yet) with this character.
  • There is nothing in this update that should break your save games from previous saves (unless that save was from v0.2.x or prior).

New Content
  • After the mortgage is paid off, Meredith will be working less overtime and can be found showering around noon (Midday).
  • New Meredith Spank Bank Scene: ||Standing Shower Groping, & Thigh Job||
  • The first few quests of Aunt Charlotte's mini story.
  • New Location: Sloppy Seconds Diner (interior only, not much NPCs or activity in there yet)
  • Minor Scene: MC jerking off in Meredith's bed with her panties will now be depicted graphically instead of simply stated in a wall of text.

Gameplay Improvements
  • Meredith's assigned "Fan Service" time slot (Afternoon) will behave more like Brooke's where what she's doing will be random each day and will select among the Perks you've unlocked. This is being done mostly because that Afternoon timeslot is currently overloaded and to allow for future expansion.
  • Asking Meredith for repeating any of the Spank Bank scenes from the Kitchen will automatically cut to either MC's or Meredith's Bedroom rather than making you walk up there on your own to activate the event.
  • All indoor and outdoor locations have been tweaked to either show black bars on the sides or hide embarrassing stuff that was previously visible at the edges in ultra wide resolution.
  • Aunt Charlotte's journal page has moved to just after Brooke's page.
  • The Winter/Christmas Gem Use action in the inventory will no longer cause the Gem to disappear. Now you get a choice and if you want to get rid of it, there's a specific option to destroy it, which is of course the return to non-Christmas option. You can always get another Gem from Dzherkov in the arcade.
  • Using the Unzip (Summon Nicole) action in the upstairs bathroom and shower closeup now has more dynamic responses and uses than the default "I've had the best success summoning Nicole in my bedroom." response.
  • Milestone list now scrolls by a full page at a time instead of by five items at a time. With a full game, your Milestone list can be REALLY long.
  • Rewatching the Meredith vibrator scene will now prompt you if you want to watch the whole scene, so that you don't get locked into repeating the whole thing from simply peeking through the keyhole.

Changes
  • The trunk at the foot of MC's bed no longer contains the "future" items and now has an actual purpose.
  • Aunt Charlotte's theme changed from the harpsichord piece to a church organ piece (more appropriate).
  • Reworked Charlotte's introduction scene to incorporate the new quirk about her speaking entirely in bible verses when first meeting her.
  • Meredith sleeping pose when peeking through keyhole is now  properly randomized and will prevent the same pose twice.
  • Unlocking the Open Game Map from Bedroom Fast Travel Perk now also requires visiting the Diner, in addition to Irene's House and the Arcade.

Bug Fixes
  • Meredith no longer responds with "sweater and jeans" during Aunt Charlotte's intro scene if she's wearing the Santa Outfit.
  • Title, Options, and Pause menus will no longer cut off the bottom on ultrawide resolutions.
  • Meredith's sprite in the kitchen's hover-over label uses the custom name you provided, if not "Meredith."
