Progress of the new update!
🕑 Added 2023-10-30 02:46:52 +0000 UTCIn the previous post I said release date might be right about now, but as you can see this post is titled "Progress of the new update!" and not "0.87 update released!", so unfortunately some of the things are taking a bit longer than I expected. As before I can give you a refund if you aren't satisfied with the development progress.
So what's taking so long?
The most time consuming part turned out to be the personality modules. The code for dialogues was actually extremely old as it was written around the first release of the game. After all those updates it was continually expanded on to add things such as reactions for kisses or headpats and this code wasn't pretty(in fact it was very ugly). In the end I decided to rewrite the entire thing almost from scratch. This rewrite took a lot of time, but is now almost complete. The new system is quite modular and as I said before I plan to allow modders to add their own personality modules(along with new events). That might not be fully complete for this release, but lot of the required code is ready!
This isn't the only part of the game's code that was rewritten though. I decided to implement a changing room in the clothier shop to let you try new clothes. It was a decently popular option in the last poll and something that was planned and requested for a long time. It's a bit similar to the equipment screen, but you can buy and try on things from Annalie's shop. Check out the attached gif's to see how it looks. How is that related to rewriting the code? I rewrote a big chunk of the code related to handing displaying items. The search bar, sorting and folders will now be available in all shops. Empty folders will no longer be displayed, reducing clutter. You can now also right click on items to bring up a context menu(Won't really work on mobile, but hey I made some buttons bigger for mobile players). Overall it should make managing items and searching shops easier.
In the last two images you can see how the toy sold by the company we are working with will look like. It will be available to purchase with the new update's release for I think around 95$, so stay tuned!
When will this update be released?
There are still a couple of things that need to be worked on, but I think it might be available in a couple of weeks. Meaning sometime in November.
Want some more story?
Also if you joined after last Halloween (and according to my data quite a lot of you have). You probably haven't seen the Halloween event. If you are starved for some more story launch the game, enjoy the event and get some of the unique Halloween accessories and room decorations. To trigger the event start a dialogue with the bot while those conditions are met:
- Finishing most of the dialogue while visiting clothier solo and buying a lot of clothes
- Met Annalie with bot
- Mental Health > 20%
- Day above 15
- Bot likes you
- Hour in game 7 to 20
- 10 days before or after Halloween in real life
Dialogues are random, so it might not appear on the first click. After this you will get two halloween decorations.(They appear in items->other) Try to put one on and you will get a second dialogue that activates the Halloween event.
Happy Halloween!
As always thanks for your support!

I'm also checking regularly. I even got a Twitter account just to follow incontinentcell. If incontinentcell and their team are not killing themselves while working on this game, and they're also enjoying themselves when working on it, I'm happy. They should also know there's a community of people who support them and are looking forward to this gem of a game to be updated. I also hope they can shrug off comments from those who feel entitled. I don't care how long it takes, especially if they're happy and proud of the work! Of course it would be cool if the update drops sooner rather than later, but it's like dinner. Unless you're helping getting it done, get out of the kitchen and wait, especially since this game is a gift. Remember, complaining about dinner not being done doesn't make it appear any faster, especially when it's being provided to us for free if we didn't want to support them. That said, the version that might be up for sale because of the inclusion of the toy is very interesting. I'd like to see a review of how it works specifically with the game and what settings it has. I don't know anything about those types of toys, but I imagine a button/key mapper might be able to make it usable in other programs too, which would mean it could be a long term investment. If incontinentcell and team, are making a good gross profit, I would gladly support them by buying it.

I've checked everyday since the September post too. I'm excited for this update
Chris Eaton
I know i get an email when release comes out but no lie.. i still come to this page every day to see if anything had come up.. 😅🥹
Isaacsan Xx
i just hope everything is going great for you and you get everything done when you can keep up the good work
Suzy9MM
No upset at all about the wait, I'm actually excited to see how game will run with fresh code and everything!

I'm just glad for an update. I've seen some developers panic and put it off for weeks. Then its worse because the community is just stuck on read waiting for anything and the developers just scared in a corner
Chris Eaton
Not gonna say i kinda exspected this but as much as it is to say i did hope it would be out when suggested i can understand code is extremely difficult and diverse.. if its old code new code can and most definitely will be like trying to pick and play around cancer... it can cause chaos and greef along with alot of loss of great data.. so as much as i want to say it sucks its not ready i am going to say you work hard as a main developer and ive been around far too long with your game to give up on you now.

Is there a way to join the group?
Incontinent Cell
It must be an ip ban. You can't really check if you are ip banned or not.
El Campero Maestro
I have been discussing this issue via Twitter or X hehe but it has already been determined that I am not on the banned list nor do I have my IP with any ban, I would like to know if there is any way to join the group, thank you!
twinArmageddons
Oh shit, ill totally grab that onahole when it comes out damn
Incontinent Cell
What's your discord username? The links aren't expired, so that means you must've gotten banned.
El Campero Maestro
good games always have to be supported, I only ask to be able to enter the discord group with a new link, the existing ones do not allow me to enter, from me you will have the support throughout the development, thank you for making games like this!
IllusiveChan
Awesome updates. Definitely gonna buy dat onahole. 👀👀👀
Arachian
I hope there will be delivery to Australia good lord
