As the end of the month draws near, so does the release date of 0.1.6. But perhaps most importantly for the game, September's fat, region hopping update of 0.1.7 (described below) is up next. I am aligning the release date for 0.1.6 with September 1st so that it's compatible with trickling down the previous Platinum progression of Soumya (required, as 0.1.6 brings an additional one).
So, what's in Gold 0.1.6 since 0.1.5:
Trickled down August Platinum progression with Soumya [For patrons]
An additional Soumya progression furthering the bonding (or unbonding :P) [For patrons]
Another cute date of getting closer with Elizabeth
A fresh encounter with Rebecca
An expansion of the Jessica-Leia sub path
Futuristic Hong Yeo-Bin fantasy
Ability to rename your MC
Improvements and preparations for 0.1.7, mostly backend (different regions will show different girls in the stack)
As usual, Farah will be trickling down to Public 0.1.6.
Soumya is going to be getting a lot more comfortable, soon she'll be inviting herself over and eating your food. Elizabeth's going to show you around her place of work and Rebecca... Rebecca is going to do Rebecca things. But if things go well, things will get a lot warmer between you next time, even an actual date. And if you're impatient for that, she has metal restraints for such MCs.
0.1.6.1
I am planning on delivering a James Bond-like fantasy for 0.1.6.1 following 0.1.6, but this time I will be leaving it up to a vote who should be the Bond girl. But in the interest of diversity, I am still considering who should be eligible. Obviously, if I put up Soumya, she'll win. And at that point we can rename the game to Soumya. :D I'll try to put up a cast of less prominent characters. I'll be also switching up the hairstyle to maybe breathe life into the unrepresented characters.
0.1.7 "Region hopping"
As I've already been mentioning for a while, this will be the much needed overhaul of the game where I'll be taking more time + days off from day job to work on it as of September 1st. We'll be introducing a whole new region the MC can visit, Korea, as well as encounters there.
Feature set of 0.1.7
Further encounter with Neha
Further encounter with Hong Yeo-Bin
Encounter with Ji-Eun (and other girls present in Korea)
Further encounter with Soumya
Further encounter with the voted Gold progression girl
Further encounter with the voted Platinum progression girl
Encounters with girls I decide need more love
Additional fantasies
Revamped UI, menus, locations over different times (both domestic and Korean place MC buys)
Region-sensitive stack of girls, unmatched girls from Seattle won't appear in the stack in Seoul, changing locations by booking flights etc.
I have many more plans, but there are just so many days, so I'll leave it
Basically, my goal is to make 0.1.7 feel like 0.2.0, but not quite... So I have something higher to aim for still.
