Matriarch 0.03 Update
CHANGELOG
1. Created self esteem system
2. You can now set the cost of your private dances! (Do this in the lounge)
3. When a customer requests a private dance they may decide if your cost isn't worth it and suggest a new price.
4. Running drinks increases popularity, but not by a lot. It's just a safe way to build popularity and money in small amounts.
5. Oceanlabs scientists have created a new product called "Speedrun"! Pick this up in the store to increase your current pregnancy by ten days.
6. You can now set how long a pregnancy lasts in the settings menu. Please note that this does not take effect until your next pregnancy.
7. Reworked the birth scene. You now put on a birthing show.
8. Cleaned up some errors with displaying improper pregnancy ranges.
9. Set a standard pregnancy length to be 90 days again (this can be changed in the settings).
10. Did a partial rework of size 2 (need to rework the rest of size two and all of size one)
NOTES: These are just my thoughts behind the changes and additions.
If you have a higher self esteem then you gain more from promotion. If you have a lower self esteem then you gain less from promotion.
If you set your cost higher than your perceived worth (this is made up from size, self esteem, and popularity) then a customer will not want to pay for the dance.
The self esteem system is the groundwork for some further plans. The idea is to have sort of a "bad end" route where if your self esteem becomes too low then you end up just being used for cheap. Then of the flip side you get bonuses for a high self esteem. Right now it doesn't do much other than give you bonuses/cuts depending on self esteem.
I like the idea of you deciding how much you make. You can charge $20 a dance or $200, although the customers might not agree with your perceived value. With that in mind you can now set how much you would like your dances to cost in the lounge. I'm planning on adding more management stuff down the line, just trying to think of good ways to integrate this.
User feedback requested a way to speed up pregnancies so I added a requested item, speed run! It jumps you forward ten days. I may make variants that just jump your size up, but at a higher cost. Still thinking that one through.
I got varying feedback on how long pregnancies should last, I do agree that at the moment the game is a little grindy so a long pregnancy is rough to go through. Surprisingly, a LOT of people wanted 180 day lengths, I personally still feel 90 is the best. But you can now set the length to be whatever you want it to be in the settings menu so everyone can have their way. Things may get weird if you set them to be extremely short. Didn't really test that, the option is there for those that want something different from the base experience though.
I wasn't a fan of the wall of text for a birth so I decided to create a birthing show scene. I know the white box is a little distracting but the UI is still placeholder assets so I'll eventually get something made that isn't... white box.
