New people for Sammy to meet.
We have the addition of a few new minor factions in the game that will come with it's own mini quests as well as tying into the main story. From left to right we have Dez and Ali from the Mech faction, Jaylee and her brother Ashon from the Scavvers and Saskia and Frida from the Needle girls (formerly named cosplay club).
Gloryholes
Nate finally asks Sammy to help him out with making a gloryhole at school and Sammy agrees. So off she goes to find out how you would even make one. This will lead her to Dez and Ali who tell her what she needs, but wont help since it's not an Institute mission. Either solve the problem they are having or find another way to get the gear you need.
However you choose to go about it, return to Nate once you have everything and he will make one in the school. But now nothing is stopping you from making more of your own all over Blaston now that you have the tools.
Girl love
With Dani having a larger role with the pub job along with the introduction of Ali and Jaylee, there is starting to build a bit of girl love. Dani events is mostly involving men in the pub along with Sammy/Trixie just having a bit of fun.
But with Jaylee a full blown romance is possible. She will even eventually open her home (a trailer in the junkyard) to Sammy. The player can then use it as a home base if they want to. Though Sammy should expect to be woken up by Jaylee sitting on her face.
Scavving
Work has begun on scavenging around town for stuff to sell off. This job is meant as an alternative to some of the more seedy jobs. Hard and dirty work, but doesn't involve selling yourself. Traveling all around town and into the more dangerous areas looking for stuff though does mean Sammy might encounter some shady people along the way.
In the early game this will be mostly for some extra cash. But as you sell junk to the vendors, they will start selling unique items they made from the junk you sold. Needle girls for example will have special outfits for sale while the beach girls will have jewellery and trinkets to sell.
Release when?
Quick answer, probably first half of November. There are still some large elements planned for v.3.0 that I haven't even started yet, but I don't want to hold up the release for too much longer. So now that all the heavy code stuff has been done, I will be taking what's currently in, bringing it up to a final state and push the rest back into a part2 update. Fortunately, all the elements that made this release take longer have been done, so we should see more regular updates as before.
