A polishing day is a day I spend improving an existing part of the game, instead of always just working on the next sprint. The current polishing task is: add mom and dad jobs to the Lifepath.
I finished adding the starting mom and dad jobs today. Some of them are conditional (e.g. stockbrokers can only spawn in certain hometowns), so we’re repurposing part of the relatio...

I'm not sure about the boobs. <:-/ Now I can see it working on randomised body types, I think the E size might be too big. Putting this out there for feedback – what do you guys think?

I just had a crash and lost a lot of the work I've been doing in Illustrator over the past few days. Illustrator has an auto-recovery feature, but it didn't kick in this time for some reason.

This is annoying, but not a huge setback – I already exported a lot...
