Quests
-After the Dream Home introduction, Kari, Yuri and Nanami will start appearing in the waking world on weekends.
-They disappear after you interact with them and leave the area. They also don't spawn after sunset.
-Talk to them to get a "quest".
-Yuri wants photos of cats.
-Nanami needs help finding "friends".
-Kari's quest is still in development. Ignore her for now.
-These are interaction points that spawn in various locations, randomly every day.
-Two cats spawn at a random location every day, and once one of them is interacted with, another one spawns in a different area. All cats despawn at the end of the day.
-Yuri will give you money for each cat.
-One "friend" spawns at a random location every day. If there's more than 4 a random one despawns.
-Nanami will give you her sleeping pills for each friend.
-There are further nuances (i.e Nanami's "friends" spawn at random coordinates, that don't touch any collision blocks, while Yuri's cats spawn in preset locations)
~400 dialogue lines total
Freeform Dialogue
-Added Yuri and Nanami beach specific dialogue.
~300 dialogue lines total
MC Appearance Commentary
-Yuri now tracks your breasts size and comments on changes. Hips sizes and other girls aren't implemented yet.
-When MC's size goes up, initiating freeform dialogue will trigger a one time conversation instead.
-If a size goes down, she acknowledges it, and tracking resets to current size.
-This happens only at the School, when the characters are free and no story event is happening.
~200 dialogue lines
Simple Conversations
-Added simple conversations to Kari.
-There are 28 conversations at ~7 lines each. Think of it as small talk.
-Accessed by picking the first dialogue option in freeform. Randomly picks one.I was planning to have 100 for each character, but it turns out writing generic, universally applicable dialogue in bulk is very hard.
I'd like some feedback to see if this is worth the effort.
Story
-Rewrote the conversation with Kari post Rika/Rin encounter. It now expedites some scenes. Don't miss it.
-Previous "awkward" Kari conversation will be moved to the male route, which isn't available yet.
-Unfortunately, it means you will have to redo the Manor event. The game will check if your save is from an older version and reset the necessary flags if it does.
-Finding Yuri now takes precedence over exploring with Kari, if you haven't found her yet.
Various
-The beach is now a re-visitable location, after the first trip.
-You can now place items on the floor at home and they won't disappear. Reminder that there is storage as well.
-Added one new eye shape variant. Can be selected at the haircut dream with Rin.
-Fixed squidrabbit ears in one of the dialogue portraits. Can't believe this was an issue for so long.
-Changed Rin's color shader at certain points in the story.
-Freeform dialogue lines that advance the plot now have a * next to them.
-Story dialogue that lock you out of other routes will warn you with ** next to them. (Currently only used once, as only Kari's route is accessible)
-Decisions that lock you out of freeform content permanently due to route specific content will be marked with *** (Currently not used at all)
-Updated the FAQ at the computer desk to reflect the above.
-Clicking interactable options won't send the PC to where the mouse was if the interaction ends. Also when loading game with a mouse.
-Freeplay starting money x10
-When you talk to Yuri, Kari or Nanami at school, the others don't disappear now, but their dialogue option is locked off.

New Encounter and Real World Expansion actually tied, so I am working on a new nightmare.
It takes a lot more time though, so I think that's gonna be a January update.
I wasn't planning on working on Kari's route but ended up doing it anyway. I remember thinking a while back that if I can't get a ending out before the end of the year then something's wrong. Well, it's the end of the year...
