Progress towards 0.3.3

If anything, ya girl is consistent!
Development for the upcoming version of the game is in full swing, with 40k words written so far and more to come.

With multiple new friendship events written already (Jasmin has 2 so far while the rest have 1, yay polls!), more intermediate events added in the early game stuff, and balancing improved to minimize grinding (looking at you, hangout option with friends at school that counts as double now), the game is shaping up to be a very solid one for new and return players.

When it comes to the latest poll that you filled out, which favored our inaugural club over all others (we love you HRC!), you'll be happy to know that the club has seen an improvement in quality as a third line of content was added to it. When feminism comes on the line, will the MC's misguided ideologies change the impact the club has over women's freedoms? The HRC will also see its first storyline conclude, with a social media campaign aimed to incite any professor to join us as club advisor; which of your friends will you reach out to to help you create posts for the club?

On another end of development for the game, you'll be thrilled to find out that a lot of the stats in the game now have planned milestones at 5s instead of 10s, adding more content and more opportunities to impact your own character alongside your friends'. From physical improvements from working out, to creating your own social media posts and accepting sponsorship opportunities, passing through a more fleshed out background for Eric's acceptance and a more elaborate deterioration of Eva's values, the game is growing more impactful and naughty, while maintaining the slow-burn nature that you all love.

It is true that for some, it might feel like the game is stalling in its development as more early stuff are being fleshed out as opposed to the later stages of the game. But I do believe that this strategy is better for the long run as the game needs to manage its scaling correctly across time, and this can only come through adequate revisions (while we still can make them).
I am learning a lot, and I know by the time this 0.3.x version of the game is complete you'll have all you'd want out of a game of that scope and more.
The next one already brews in my head.

With all that being said, my one appreciation has been and always will be you fantastic people who support me and the game and keep me afloat. You allow me to breathe a bit easier every month, and for that I am extremely thankful <3
