Sorry, and hello, that's an honor to have you answering me :)
Mod are not working since a long time, at least this one, because you and your team revamped variables couple month ago and it's not loading.

That's why i'm sad, because game was wild and original, and got less and less surprising now ...

Still merging your master git weekly ;) tho, and thanks for the hard and long work
I see, the mods do typically get upated to work with latest version a few weeks after its out. It takes one of our coders to go through and fix things then update the repo where the mod is backed up. I can't say for sure ho long it'll be as it depends when one of them has teh spare time but it will get done.

I'm doing the following:

Natasha Questline refactoring to set up her two paths in a more consistent and clearer manner for future content (edit: This will break saves).
Additional migration of the payment systems/employment jobs.
Quality of life improvements to the UX/UI and low hanging fruit to make playing the game more pleasant. If you have suggestions or quirks you want me to look at for the UX/UI let me know.

That's my priorities in rough order.

As a side note: Ballet mod will be released publicly around this time, which will give the virgin run players some content and a new storyline which will tie into new events I will be adding to Sankt Petersburg and Pushkin.

Think that covers most things.
Will there be threesomes with Kolka on love path as well? I definitely hope so.

No idea, I'm just the coder not the writer. I'm still stuck trying to unpick the code and figuring out what's going on and then reorganise everything associated. There's going to be bugs, probably lots of bugs associated with the quest next dev cycle and it'll break saves, so I'm looking at having a 'reset' button to mitigate that.

The City nightclub needs music. My suggestion:

Since the text is in German and Russian here a translation of the first verse (which should explain my idea):

This city is a prostitute,
has red spots on her forehead.
Her teeth are made of gold,
she's fat and yet so lovely
Her mouth goes down on me,
when I pay her for it.
She strips, but only for money.
The city that keeps me on edge.

Moscow!
Raz Dwa Tri!

Oh no.... Will resetting her quest progress factor (via cheat) be useful to avoid save breaking?
At this present time, no idea. With Natasha's quest there's so many wheels in motion it's often hard to determine what's going on. What I'm looking at is a full reset, reset to corruption or reset to love starts, then let the player progress from there avoiding the month daily of debt countdowns but I'm more concerned about it getting back to a playable state before worrying about integrating cheats.

I know Natasha's quest is one of the more popular but it desperately needed revamping to accommodate the new path without causing bugs or conflicts.

Its not really dance music though. Not sure teh Moscow parts would go down great with St Pete's club scene either. :ROFLMAO:

I can only imagine that all that hole stuffing we've done for real has something to do with it :)
there is three version
1) if she likes you
2) she is different
3) she actively disliked you

each one has different set of text and interactions.

I tried the photography work available at the city mall. If i remember correctly, accepting work used to send MC on the job right away, now it sends the job in to the next year, literally. It's early December in game time, but jobs (that btw i can schedule seemingly limitless amount) get dates in January, April or even October next year. Is this intentional? I think a job within next 7 days is good, 14 seems like a bit of a stretch, but 315... i can appreciate the job stability and all, but Sveta needs a new pair of shoes.

I tried looking if that's just a WIP, but couldn't find anything. Ignore me, if i just suck at searching.

Just tried with the latest build and confirmed that the regular modelling jobs (located at "Aphrodite Photography" in city center) still send Sveta right to shooting site and she gets instantly paid after 2 hrs of work. The reservation system is for porn shooting located in RLD.

I do wish there were a reservation option available for the special photography jobs though.

It's work in progress as it's part of the new event system being implemented. I'll explain what's going on. It's part of the event and zero hour job overhaul system and pay scales with photography skill (as it did before). Wages are bracketed random but I'll change that in the next dev cycle to be more consistent along with restricting the hours. All jobs are booked on a monthly basis, usually a month in advance at the weekend currently at least for the shop.

I was going for a semi-realistic approach instead of being a high paid hot shot which means you'll have to work your way up as this is a multi-year game. I'll also be looking at expanding the photography career down the line as these are simple tasks and generally low paid jobs. It's mostly a straight port of the existing system before shoe horned into the new events system. There will be a punishment system in place as well if Sveta fails tasks but that's not implemented at this time.

The events system was created for writers to book events or ad hoc jobs in the future without knowing the exact day/dates will fall on and allow the player to manage their own tasks/events. It was ported across from the mod I'm creating to create events around being a ballerina and shows. It's also part of a larger project that's still being planned which will affect the City in uni years.

As to booking a year in advance if you're in late December it should be booking for January if it's not let me know.
