Version 0.2.4

0.2.4.0 was released on 9th October, 2019. It adds events to the orphanage, temple, and Domus Street skulduggery. It also adds a new location to Wolf Street, kindness fame, masochism, a clickable map, and a skulduggerous sequence that gives another way to dodge the law.

It saw two further updates, which fixes compatibility issues with older version saves, as well as further bug fixes.

Developer's Note

The orphanage is intended to be quite crowded, with numerous residents stuffed into its tiny rooms. It often doesn't feel that way though, as if you and Robin live alone with Bailey occasionally barging in. I'm hoping the new events add more life to the building. Some are short and simple, others more complex. Most are repeatable, and chosen from a pool influenced by decisions in previous events. Others are non-repeatable and occur in a sequence.

One benefit of recent code improvements is the ability for unnamed NPCs to make multiple appearances. This wasn't really viable before, which limited their role to a single event each. I intend to use this sparingly at first, but it will allow more creative freedom when designing events.

Apologies for the wait. I got a bit carried away. I intend to make a stronger effort in speeding things up, not least because I want the next update to be halloween-themed.

Lollipop Scythe has asked me to send his congratulations to those that found the anal pregnancy content, especially to those that found it before seeing a spoiler."

New Additions

• Events to the main hall of the Orphanage to make life within the building much more lively.
• Adds more events to the Temple.
• Improves Domus Street skulduggery.
• Adds a new location to Wolf Street, the Soup Kitchen. The location must be learned of before first.
• Adds kindness fame within Fame stats. It lowers allure, and increases when you do nice things for others.
