Note 1: Apologies for my long absence. For those not in the know, in early November I had the Shingles, followed by a series of bad flu's through to mid-February. That lead into a health scare (thankfully ended up being fine), and finally issues with one of my fingers. Long story short, I'm back and raring to get some developing done. Thank you everyone for your support and patience during an incredibly long string of bad luck, I deeply appreciate it ^_^

Hey everyone, and welcome to a new premium build. This current build is currently at 2,388,582 words, and 3002 passages, about 7k new words since the last build (though a lot of coding). This has been a challenging build, mostly for external reasons, though I'm happy to be back at it. In terms of the build's contents, it's a bit of a mix, with some well needed more general aspects, and a new story scene for the hucow dairy.
The biggest aspect is probably the rework of the travel encounter system, which has merged the 'travel to' and 'travel back' encounters into one general pool, with some extra work put in to ensure one-off encounters are more common (but not too common). Outside of that, the school schedule is finally viewable from the in-room tablet, and the hucow dairy job has a new narrative scene setting up where that story is going next whilst providing a cool new poster for the player's home.
The main content is; Travel Encounter System Update, Hucow Dairy Job Scene, School Schedule, Shower Hair Un-Styling.
1/ Travel Encounter System Update - The existing travel encounter systems have been merged, so there should no longer be specific 'travel to', and 'travel back', encounters (with some exceptions). The new system pools all of the encounters, separating them between 'general' and 'special' encounters, with 'special' encounters generally being one-off or limited viewing scenes. Under the new system the 'special' encounters should occur about 25% of the time when an encounter happens.
2/ Hucow Dairy Job Scene - A new narrative scene for the hucow dairy has been added, which sets up the next encounter in the narrative, lets the player get to know Betsy and Robyn slightly better, and nets the player a brand-new poster for their in-game home.
3/ School Schedule - Viewable from the player's in-room tablet when looking at the 'Training' options, players can now see the school schedule. The schedule is coded to show you the current day, and then chronologically the rest of the schedule for the cycle.
4/ Shower Hair Un-Styling - Something that escaped my notice, but it seems that it was basically impossible to get rid of a professionally styled hair style previously. Now players can pay when showering to remove 'professionally styled hair styles', with players who have the utilities cost reduction background only having to pay half price (200 G.G.P/100 G.G.P).
Other additions included; A big fix to the morning outfit/underwear pool showing incorrect images on waking up (a separate bug with the outfit list for APK players not showing unless you click on it is known and being investigated), an update to the in-game gallery for the new poster image, updates to the thank you list for the past few months, and some more minor fixes.
Art work commissions and monthly polling continues. The winning March art poll was, Starting Outfit Image Parts for the avatar system (though chastity parts came close in the polls and I'll probably prioritise too). The winning February art poll was, Skyler Snacking On Pet-Slave Food. The Winning January art poll was, the Felicity pin-up. The winning December art poll was, the Anna pin-up. I'll hopefully have a new art poll up sometime over the next few days.
