Suggestion for next update:
Since number of girls are expanding thanks to modders, maybe author would like to sort of 'formally' integrate this into the game. My idea would be that a "core" download of the game contains a smaller number of number of 'base' girls (e.g, like 5 only), but then others may be downloaded separately in single files, as released by both the author and external modders. At least two advantages is that integrating this approach makes it easy to add girls, and secondly that the download size of both the base game and other characters, become more manageable if they are split up.
That's not a bad idea at all, the only issue is the additional character mods have some code variance between them and I need to work on how the core game supports additional characters a bit better. Once it hits a critical mass I'll probably be "advertising" the available character mods and scene mods.
Right now I am trying to do everything I can to give my full support to the modding scene as I see moddability as a huge part of the game's future. My goal was to make the game a "platform" for roleplaying gender-swapping, and there will be a fully fleshed out main storyline in the game, but sometimes I feel that the true potential of this game is in how easy it is to write new stuff for it. Like, just passed 100 available mods, I don't know any adult game at this early stage in development that has this much modding activity and I really want to support that.
But at the same tiem I need to keep progressing the roadmap and ensuring the core game can support mods better. Right now a lot of the game's code is a little hacky because it was just written for my own use, I never thought anyone was going to see it. And now there are tons of people all up in the codebase and it feels weird!!
And in other news!
I can finally announce that the next release (0.18a) will be available to subscribers on September 12th! This is a BEEFY update but is mainly focused on gameplay loop improvements, an alcohol system, the introduction of the random female npc system, player dick, job interview improvements, and a bunch of other stuff. So don't expect a bunch of new sex scenes per se, but expect the overall gameplay experience to get deeper and better.
Also included will be a new location - a downtown club (only available on the weekends) where you can go dancing and bring other NPCs for unique interactions and stuff.
Also included will be a few mods that I am working with the modders on integrating directly: a potion shop where you can "sell your essence" (it basically gives you more freedom with your stats and stuff, but everything is a give and take).
The game is also going to get harder for the male main character - girls at the bar will no longer be so easy to pick up. You'll need to have enough "confidence" to even approach them, which will be based on your charm. If you play a loser or a nerd character, you have a fairly big confidence debuff and will need to drink alcohol to even work up the courage to say hi.
Anyhow there are lots of changes and updates to the gameplay loop to make it deeper this update - the focus being on giving the player more challenges and tools. That's what 0.18a will be about, whereas 1.18b will have a bunch of new sex scenes (and hopefully will be a lot faster to implement).
