Hey everyone!
In V0.27, not only is Nancy becoming a harem member with 2 new quests, but I'm also introducing a massive gameplay feature: the Clothing Customizer!
This new feature comes with the Closet, a brand-new room you can build in your basement. It allows you to freely mix and match each girl's outfits using all of her available clothing pieces. Additionally, every girl gets a third outfit to mix and match as well, and there are 3 universal items available for your women's heads! Also, new quality-of-life features and a massive rebalance are on the way!
V0.27 will be released on Friday, July 17th!
New Quests (possible spoilers)
Suppressed Traumas (Nancy – Quest 1)
In Nancy's first quest, you'll uncover exactly how she became the cold, hardened gym drill sergeant you know today. You'll find a way to peer beneath her tough exterior and devise a plan to finally break through her defenses.
Broken Walls (Nancy– Quest 2)
You'll confront her with her tragic past, helping her to finally let go and open herself up completely to something entirely new... you.
New harem member: Nancy
Nancy will become a regular member of your harem. This opens up new scenes in the player's bedroom as well as around the house, if you choose to let her move in.
You will also unlock two new scenes with her in the gym, with one of them being together with June. She can become pregnant, and you'll unlock a new wallpaper for your smartphone featuring her.
New gameplay element: The Clothing Customizer
From now on, you can mix and match the outfits of your harem members using all the clothes available to each individual girl! They will wear your chosen combinations around your house (yes, even in the garden now), when you summon them to your room, and while they are in their own rooms. You can even admire their new looks right in the Contacts App!
To unlock that feature, you have to build a brand-new room, the Closet, in your basement. You will also be able to purchase new clothes for your woman through the Nilery app. Each one of them receives a extra outfit, and on top of that, you can buy a set of glasses, collars, and animal ears that all your women can wear.
Inside the closet, you can choose between pre-made outfits or switch to "Custom" to build your very own look. Which top, which bottom, which headwear? All three, just one, or maybe none at all? Topless? Bottomless? The combination possibilities are huge!
In the future, I plan to add even more outfits for your women, giving you a massive wardrobe to mix and match.
Just a quick heads-up: Some outfits are designed as full-body pieces, like dresses or one-piece lingerie. In these cases, the item takes up both the top and bottom slots, meaning you can't combine them with other individual pieces, but you still can add some headwear.
This update turns your house into a real playground for customization. It's your harem, so you should be the one pulling the strings on how everyone looks!
Quality of Life Features:
Harem Overview:
I've added a new icon to the basement hallway. Clicking it gathers all your current harem girls there. Their positions are randomized every time, and as you can see in the screenshot, they will stand ready for inspection in whatever custom outfits you've put together for them!
Reworked Nilery App
The Nilery shopping app has been completely rebuilt from the ground up.
You can now make bulk purchases of stackable items and buy multiple different objects all at once. Items will accumulate in your cart, and you'll only proceed to the payment screen once you click the new "Checkout" button at the bottom.
Extensive Game Rebalancing
I've given the game a massive rebalance with the primary goal of making the early game much smoother. I felt that too many core gameplay elements, like expanding your house, having girls move in with you, buying property, or the new feature to buy them additional clothes/customizer their outfits, were locked too far into the mid-to-late game.
To fix this, I've made the following changes:
Higher Paying Jobs: Jobs now pay 2x to 3x more than before. This applies across the board, regardless of whether you play the minigame or skip it, you'll generate significantly more cash either way.
Cheaper Upgrades: Several properties and rooms inside the MC's house are now much cheaper to purchase. Additionally, the Basement Hallway will now unlock for free as soon as Sophia and Chloe join your harem (though you will still need to build it).
Better Income from Harem Members: The women in your harem now earn you significantly more daily passive income.
Better Progression: Certain skill requirements for various quests have been lowered to ensure a smoother gameplay flow.
Guided Main Story: You will now have a dedicated main quest in your log right from the very beginning. This will guide you step-by-step through the early stages of the game and show you exactly what needs to be done to advance the main storyline.
Mind Points from Casting Agency: As soon as you assign a woman from your Casting Agency to a location in Spring Hill, she will now generate 1 Mind Point for you daily. However, her daily cost will increase to $300 (up from the previous $200).
Reduced Income: The income generated by the College and Gym at the highest upgrade levels has been reduced.
I really hope these changes make the overall experience much more rewarding and fun without too much grind.
That's it for today! I hope you like this sneak peek of what's to come, and I'm sure you can't wait for the release on July 17th!
