Let's talk about the future of The Fixer pt2

Part 1 can be found here.

With Education pt3 almost out the door, it is almost time to start working on what was discussed in the post above which I am currently calling "boobs and events update". But before that, there are a few bits I want to do first.

The boobs and events update will be quite a large one and depending on how things go, may end up taking a bit of time before a public release is seen. Of course patreon releases will still be regular. Due to this, I want to add in a fair amount of smaller features and events I have been holding off. I expect this smaller update to take a month, so we will be seeing Education pt3 in a week or so and this mini update towards the end of April. From there, I will be calling an end to the 0.2.x updates and the boobs and events update will start new with a 0.3.x numbering.

So, what will I be adding? First off, I have had many comments about "The Fixer" being impossible to search for online. The name brings up so many unrelated results so I have been meaning for a while to think up something more searchable. But I quite like the name as it is, so I am almost settled on the new name being "Life as The Fixer". I am still open to suggestions but I feel this name keeps it close to the original while adding a few new keywords to make it more searchable.

Other aspects include the much requested birth control. I have mostly decided that there will be two variants of birth control. 

One will be the more "as the game intends" version where you take a pill/medicine after sex and not any preventative measures. I believe this way can lead to interesting events where Sammy may trigger events to try and track down the pills if she has none on her person. But if Sammy has a trait such as "baby crazy", the player may struggle to get her to take them or find the pills suddenly missing from her inventory. On the flip side, a Sammy that does not want a child may bully the player into getting her the medicine after having risky sex.

The other version will be more for players that have little interest in the pregnancy aspect. Pay the doctor a bunch of cash and she will be sterile for a period of time.

Body writing. It's about time Sammy can buy herself some pens and write things on herself. I am currently thinking two types of pens where one will be washed away after a shower while the other will remain after quite a few showers. This will also play a part with the "counter" body writing that keeps a tally of all the people you have had sex with. One shower wont wash it off so you can keep a running count almost indefinitely if you want.

The Simon mission. This desperately needs updating. The art is old and doesn't factor in customisation options and the story of it is heavily written under the assumption Sammy is a virgin. With the school stuff in, she can be quite promiscuous already so this needs to be taken into account.

Masturbation scenes. There are quite a lot of new sex events added with the Education update, so makes sense for there to be new night time masturbation scenes. 

I also want to add in a few other smaller bits such as stat numbers on the main HUD, balancing stat degradation, and some other minor elements, but they are probably not worth talking about in depth here.

And once this mini update is out in April, v0.3 will start!
