Here are the highlights of v0.320:
While I got sidetracked a bit thanks to the breakthrough I had with the willpower check system, I knew it was going to need more work before that can make it into the game, so I switched gears back to what I had originally planned, which was an overhaul of the bartenders.
Laila got most of the focus here, with a chain of little scenes available at the beach bar she works at. If you’ve had Dave’s special “not-a-Pina-Colada,” you can now get a few more of them when he’s tending bar.
A lot of Gabby’s stuff got a rework to match the new framework used for the other three bartenders. If it works properly, it shouldn’t be too noticeable, except that you’ll need to visit the bar to see some of her scenes. She’s also got a revamped background.
There’s some new TV programming: You can watch some short interviews with some of the ladies at the resort. Mostly “first gen” girls, with only Angel available so far to represent the ladies who started in the second year of the resort.
Phone system and haircut code got some reworks, and you should not be able to schedule a haircut with Cynthia even if you don’t have her helping you in the mornings.
