1.0 Release Notes

I was pretty out of it earlier, but after a nap I feel better. So I'll better explain the latest release.

Most notably:

The intimacy system has been revamped and added back into the game. Essentially, how it works is that you bond with / chat with a person and unlock the ability to have fun with them. Foreplay, Sex and Kink related sex.

Currently Mai and Yenay are the only two people you can do this with, with Yenay's two foreplay scenes not being present (I forgot to add them prior to releasing 1.0,).

Using a sex option will decrease affection and raise bond according to the type of action, Foreplay uses the least affection while Kinks (not currently active) use the most and reward the most bond.

Next we have Guobei's Shop. In the future this will be important for Bai Huan to acquire new esoteric arts, spirit arts and more -- but for now you can only purchase and view past events (usually lewd ones).

Next, I added the Gallery (it's currently unfinished, WIP).

Bathing has been added and it restores a small percentage of sustenance and boosts fitness. Baths can only be done daily , and though I didn't get around to it this update there will also be bathing scenes with each person. (And some temporary perks in the future).

Syphii and Guobei make their appearance as NPCs as well, though neither of them currently have any events for raising their bond level. (Also something I was aiming to do towards the end).

There is also a significant amount of new story content related to Mai and overcoming some of her issues. By my estimate about 2 hours of gameplay has been added for players who are current to the game, while newer players may experience double that. Those are also conservative estimates so nothing is written in stone. If you're curious how I came to these estimates, I sort of have my own system.

Assuming:

Each image in the gallery has 5 seconds of time devoted to viewing it.

Each new video added to the game has 10-30 seconds devoted to watching it.

Each new event requires 1-5 minutes to play through.

And each in-game day takes anywhere from 2-5 minutes to play through. 

Using those estimates, I think the game currently has about 12-15 hours of gameplay. Though in reality it could be more or less and obviously this changes based on the user and their pace.

Summary:

These are the major things I added, there are numerous other miscellaneous changes or additions in the background.

Due to the looming new year and also this annoying stomach injury, I plan to release 1.01 on 1/7th, and then 1.02 at the end of next month 1/31. 1.01 will address the things I didn't get to finish up with this update (namely adding some events for Syphii, Guobei, Bathing) and I will attempt to fix up as many other loose ends as possible.
