Daily Objectives Implemented

The Random Objectives we currently have are

Right now there's a total of Random Daily Objectives 5 that you start out with every day but that amount can change over time. There will be even more objectives and it will get more and more perverted, I'm just doing stuff that doesn't require much planning for now.

Future Objectives Could be things like: Cum in Ashley's Coffee in the Morning 3 Times, Spank Her Morning-Noon-Night to show her whose boss,  Empty 50mL's of cum in her etc...

Objective Awareness Dialogue                                                               

Depending on the Objective that's active, like say you need to do something sexual with her, when you ask to fuck the dialogue she says will be related to the current active Objective!!!

Chores

Certain Chores are ONLY available when there's an Objective Active

The chores aspect of the game is a way to gain my experience. BUT , it's also a way to see more sexual content that I will be workin on next. With chores content we later will experiment with very simplistic and satisfying "Quick Time Events" this way you can actually participate in whats goin on instead of sitting back grinding by just "Looking at the fuckin SCREEN" they will be sprinkled throughout as Doing Chores Normally rewards you with more Affections Points since Ashley doesn't have to do a god damn thing 

Current Chores                                                       

• Washing Dishes
• Sweeping
• Taking Out the Trash

There is text Displayed on Chores/Objectives Completed on certain ones along with fanfare music

Dialogue Related Additions                         

Alot of these additions are very nice polished QoL changes and emphasize what our dialogue engine can introduce to the gameplay you'll experience and will help you make better decisions on what you'd wanna pick

Dialogue Choice Subtexts                    

These can range from a wide array of little details for you to decide what each Dialogue Choice Can do

Dialogue EXP Color                         

We programmed the Subtext color to mimic the color of the stat you'll gain EXP from you choose to select it.

Unlockable Dialogue Choices

Alot of Dialogue Choices won't be available right of that bat you will get the same dialogue from Ashley BUT there will be choices you'd didn't have before that you can select as a regard for increasing that stat

Added Emotes too ALL of Ashley's Chit Chat Dialogue                            

All of Ash's Dialogue is now Accompanied with emotes for her to play as she reacts to your choices or just emotes as she's talking!

Revamped Ashley's Random Dialogue Pool

I reorganized how her Dialogue Pools work. I didn't want players to just stand there and spam it for now even though I'm sure that would be really fuckin possible in the future with more and more dialogue added but in the mean time I separated her dialogue into 4 seperate categories: Morning, Afternoon, Evening, & Night!

So you can deplete all the possible dialogue in each "Day State" and you'll start getting very very generic lines hinting at you to check back later

Adding Time to go by and EXP to be gained When Talking               

This is something I'm gonna have to be constantly balancing but I can't over balance it because not all the content is ready ya know? I do want the player to take into account their actions use up time so they should choose wisely. I might adjust the time functionality to scale it with each content update so as we keep releasing newer builds, actions will slowly take up more and more time

As it is right now, any action you do time goes by whether its talking to Ashley, doing chores, special interactions, or any specific cutscenes that happen.

^^^^ The Gif Above shows how Time Gets Added! ^^^^

Bust Related Additions

total of 12 variation of Busts Plus 8 New Bust Poses Altogether with Zack and Ashley

Updated Bust Placement

This I felt was very much needed to center the characters more, i want it to feel personal liek they are actually talking but still enough negative space for breathing room and whatever else needs to be on screen~! Also the UI for the busts is WAAAAAY less intrusive now!

Before

After

New Busts

Screen Animations

Find Panties Scattered!

Contains 1 Intro Sequence + 5  Different Panties in total + 1 Screen Animation + 3 Different Dialogues Depending on Ashley's Level (Reluctant, Passive, & Conquered Dialogue) Also things happen differently when you interact with them as she follows you!

That's right! A good old fashioned Panty Raid! But you call the shots! You decide when you wanna go hunting for panties!

Panties Constantly respawn around the house you can decide to collect em and interact with Ashley about em anytime. Go to her when you find them to unwind and unload B)

Plot B Side Story!!!!

Story Content Contains:

2 Screen Animations + 6 Overlay Comic Panels + 2 New CG's + 4 Cutscenes + 1 Objective

I'm sure you've seen concept of this girl flying around, thats right she's involved in the Plot B Side Story! This is the evolution of her style as it progressed. While Zack and Ashley have a more white person punk rock, grunge, dirty               A E S T H E T I C

I decided to go on the opposite side~

more Ebony

She is Ashley's Opposite small tits... But ALL   A S S.

1st Concept

2nd Concept

3rd Concept

How Does it Start?

The Plot itself you have to activate in the apartment without any hints. its an all you kind of plot. You want it? Go find it!

She's a ghost with some power to her. she doesn't talk much but she feels somethings off about Zack..... and decides to try and scare him off.....

Okay Holy shit I think that's everything????????? Like jesus christ I hope this game is good Im gonna be so embarassed if its shit lmao

Sorry for lack of stuff throughout the months again some shit happen during the summer and I'm getting over it now.  I wanna start the New Year right by you guys so I hope this was worth the wait! We're getting into gameplay territory so I gotta tread carefully to not fuck up!
