🎉 MindWare 0.2.2 (Supporters-Only Beta 1)

This update is smaller than the last media-heavy drop, but it finishes the “post-incident” story and creates the foundation for a new sidequest involving latex-clad maids!

About the New Content:

The HiveClean quest begins with a free promotional apartment cleaning. Regardless of whether you accept or refuse, you will gain the ability to order a cleaning service once a week via the HiveProperties website for $500.

Right now, only the introductory cleaning is implemented, with more content coming soon. The future cleaning sessions will revolve around extra services the maids offer to tenants who are in good standing in order to keep them satisfied - because satisfied tenants pay on time as HiveProperties research indicates.

These sessions will deeply resonate with AVA, who will (eventually) make the MC wonder what it feels like to be an obedient latex doll.

Coming Next Week:

I would like to significantly improve S.I.M.S., which totally fails to live up to their potential in my opinion since they're currently just videos, so they're not special at all. Instead, I would like them to be full-fledged interactive experiences. For the next update, I want to rework the first S.I.M.S. in the game (the one you deliver to Xavier) and, while doing so, create the framework for other S.I.M.S. to follow. I have already prepared a ton of media assets for this, so it should go smoothly.
