Version v0.4.9 Release

Now available for supporters: Debasing Grounds v0.4.9: "Massage Work, Salon Takeover and Group harassment". Here's the changelog:

Version 0.4.9: "Massage Work, Salon Takeover and Group harassment":

Massage work:

• New job at the hair salon as a massager

• To get this job, players must have a Precision Work skill > 30 or lie on a Social skill check.

• Relevant characters from each faction will request massage services.

• Players can choose to give therapeutic massages (Precision Work skill) or seductive massages (Seduction skill).

• A bad massage can be corrected by making a Seduction check to turn it into a sensual massage.

• Players can end a sensual massage with a happy ending (as long as the NPC is not agenital) or an edging (some NPCs will resist this).

• Ending the session while horny may cause the client to leave unsatisfied.

• At 0 trust, Avery will fire the player.

• Avery's confidence increases after each satisfied client and decreases after each dissatisfied client.

• New scenes: masturbation, edging and happy ending (penis and pussy), sensual riding (anal and vaginal variants), fucking (anal, vaginal and strap-on variants), face-sitting (anal and vaginal), face-fucking (penis and strap-on variants)

• Performing even more overt sexual acts will increase the trust of NPCs, but will be frowned upon by Avery (and will decrease his trust if he finds out).

• NPCs will tip players after successful performances (for both therapeutic and sensual massages)

• The higher the trust level of the NPC, the higher the tip.

• From trust > 20, players can start a chat with the customer after the massage

• From trust > 60, customers will start a chat with the player after the massage

Salon takeover:

• After Trust > 20, Avery reveals the precarious situation of the shops on North Street and information about Reign and Tanja.

• Players can bribe 100 silver or seduce Reign to get the shop for 20 e-coins per week.

• If seduced, Reign will visit the salon periodically and ask players to serve her.

• Players can try to convince Tanja to give them the salon by agreeing to pay 30 coins per week.

• Players can rename the salon after taking it over.

• The balance will be deducted from the player's wallet every week. If they don't have enough funds, they will lose access to the shop.

• After taking over the shop, Avery becomes a prostitute in Rats' Corner and moves to the slums.

• After taking over the shop, players will no longer be able to get hair treatments, but they'll receive 5 e-coins for each massage, in addition to tips as before.

• After taking over the shop, players can work in the shop at any time with no weekly commitment, but there will be no customers between 10 PM and 7 AM

• New scenes with Reign after taking over the hair salon

Group harassment:

• Groups have the potential to start harassing the player after a previous scene, including the Street Encounter, Bar Punishment, Nightclub Toilet Punishment, Cafe Customers and Thieves group scenes, Barbershop and Pillory group scenes.

• The likelihood of harassment encounters is based on the number of groups currently stalking the player, the location, and the factions to which they belong.

• Harassing groups will comment on previous encounters as they approach the player.

• Players have a chance to spot them early (Observation skill), allowing them to run away.

• If they fail to spot them early, players can still try to fight the attackers, make a scene, or comply.

• Ronda gang groups will try to kidnap players to the hostel.

• Other groups will try to lower the player's reputation through public scenes until they can be taken to the pillory (status < -75).

• Public sex scenes: group vaginal, anal, oral (+ strap-on variations)

Other stuff:

• Tanja is now renamed to Tanjan if male.

• Tanja now has two enforcers working for her: Reign and Sikke (new NPCs and changed faction hierarchy)

• Tanja's manor now has two floors, with her living upstairs and Reign and Sikka living downstairs.

• The Submissive Town reputation effect now doesn't make players as liked (+1 instead of +2)

• Minimap alt text no longer displays double quotes

• The gang will now comment on the player wearing a chastity device during the hostel capture scenes, and remove chastity belts for characters with pussy (chastity cages will remain in place).

• Save files are now exported with a .txt extension instead of copying the filename into it, making it easier to edit saves.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed a bug that prevented the town thugs street encounter from triggering.

• Fixed bug where players would get stuck in the electronics store after checking out items

• Fixed minor front page spacing issues

• Fixed typos in the brothel equipment 2, slave auction, and Hista encounter scenes

• Fixed a bug that was assigning the wrong NPCs to some group sex actions in the stats menu.

• Fixed bug where taking items from Olena's trunk could count as stealing

• Fixed a problem where the player would be in the East Passage after leaving a hotel room after a hookup.

Hope you all like it!
