Life Choices [Ongoing] - Version: 0.8.8.0

Version 0.8.8.0 – Work Sucks – part 1 – changelog – 12/07/2020
New Features/Updates
”-The Library has been revamped. What has changed?”
1) The library is now an actual place to visit. Lizzy can read a book, go to the toilets, ask for a job, or quit your job etc.
2) The Library is now open from 08:00h to 21:00h (mon-sat).
3) Studying takes a little less time now (45min less)
4) The Library work and its paths have been changed/reworked slightly as well:
A) Work now always starts between 08:00 and 09:00. If Lizzy arrives after that she is late and Patricia or Willem will tell Lizzy off. Additionally, Lizzy will not be allowed to start working after 10:00h at all. Don’t be too late too often Lizzy!
B) If Lizzy doesn’t meet particular study requirements (Intel or Library Science or Computer skills), she can keep working and earn money. The progress of the library path however, is put on hold. Don’t let it be on hold indefinitely Lizzy!
C) Requirements of all three paths have been adjusted and are generally easier/lower.
D) Zack is now an actual nerd. He hasn’t got the balls to force Lizzy, instead he tries to coax her into the webcamming by offering payment if needed depending on Lizzy’s choices. This route now is completely voluntary and Lizzy actually likes this route as it is exciting and gets rid of the boring drag in the library! Several parts in this part of the job have been rewritten/adjusted to accomplish this. The story still ends the same though. Also, several (about 9 or so) new events were written for this storyline to make it flow a little better and make it a little less repetitive… a little.
E) Willem events have been reworked and spiced up/rewritten a little here and there throughout the scenario as well -to a lesser extend then the Zack path- just to make it a little less monotone. Occasionally Willem now also allows 2 customers at the same time into the archive. Willem now also wants Lizzy to doll up when working in the archive. Better look like a proper whore Lizzy!
5) A new course is available at the library; Computer Skills. Lizzy needs this skill to be able to progress the later stages of the good path in the Library job and in the future in other jobs possibly as well.
6) A new ending added if Lizzy decides to quit her library job once far enough into the Willem storyline. Willem will not let Lizzy go so easily! This brings the total number of endings to 11.
7) Many (around 12) small events added to the library ‘good path’, to ‘break up’ the normal routine a little and make it feel a little less repetitive. But… work is boring so can’t do too much to help that.
8) Lizzy can now quit her job and re-apply at the library if she so wishes (The success of this depends on how good her relationship with Patricia is and how much experience she had – generally this should only work when on the good path).
9) Menstruation is taken into account during the progression of the library job. In certain cases, it could stop the progression (Lizzy can still go to work and earn money) until Lizzy’s period is over and in other cases it is just mentioned in the story, or commented on by characters.
– New minor event at the beach; You can now encounter some girls giving you a flyer that lets you know the address of the club in the Bijlmer. (provided enough ingame days have passed).
– Madiba can now be encountered when sleeping on the beach as well. He is still only at the beach on Saturday’s. Text and images/vids have been updated to show if Madiba was met during a walk or during a nap. The repeating (good)part has now been finished, so Lizzy can go back to Madiba’s house every Saturday to earn some extra cash.
– Number of save-slots increased to 25.
”- The way Lizzy uses makeup has changed! Oh no u kidding meh?!!!!!”
1) You can no longer apply makeup more than once after showering. So, no more makeup stacking! Finally!
2) You can only touch up your makeup or freshen up in the toilets once every hour.
3) Sleeping (not napping) & showering now always removes any makeup, lipstick or perfume.
4) Perfume is now a consumable and last around 3 months in game if used once a day. It can now be toggled like Lipstick and Makeup.
5) The Makeup skill has been introduced. This skill is slowly increased over time by using makeup and the higher it gets, the more looks Lizzy gets from applying makeup, lipstick and nail polish and the longer nail polish lasts. How fast it increases depends on your difficulty setting. Even though the skill increases automatically over time, Lizzy can also actively pursue ways to increase it; watching TV, online tutorials and more in the future. – ty subli!
6) Makeup now starts with only +15 per application, but this can grow to 25 depending on your skill. This may change in the future depending on balance etc.
7) Nail polish now deteriorates over time like Shaving. It now lasts 4 – 7 days, depending on you Makeup skill. It will automatically be used once makeup is applied – removed the toggle for this.
8) Lizzy can now buy a comb to increase her looks after having a shower. There are 2 different ones. The more expensive one increases looks and morale if used. Morale is increased if Morale is below 70.
9) Fitness now increases looks with a maximum of 8 (as of 10 fitness Lizzy will gain looks; 10 fitness is 1+ extra looks, 55 fitness is 8 looks in total and that is the max number of looks Lizzy can get from fitness. High level Fitness now does deteriorate a little faster than it did before.
10) Looks is a combination of 2 parts; Daily makeup stuff & (semi-)permanent stuff like a tan and a watch. The total is shown in the stat page as usual. If, however, you want to see a more in-depth view of how your total looks is calculated, you can now do so by pressing the looks stat.
Overall, the above changes should make Looks more ‘fun’, ‘real’, ‘understandable’ and more ‘important’ to the game, while at the same time not make it ‘harder’ or ‘grindy’ for you or increase the number of clicks.
– Changed the Park passages a little and merged a few. They work the same as the Beach now, with one Menu for all different options but you should not notice this. Should work a lot better. Additionally, removed several double image entries in the folder. So, a general tidy up which I should have done properly when I redid the park. All events and options now properly check the time of day and show videos/pictures accordingly. So no more daylight pictures when it is nighttime and vice versa.
– Several (small) events added to the park (some are good and some are bad).
– Naked and topless Yoga is now possible in the park. – ty forgot who mentioned it to me sorry!
– Removed the double / / in front of all videos.
– Easy difficulty now slightly easier with more starting money and slightly higher payouts then previously. Laughable difficulty starting money and payouts increased by a lot… *cough* have fun *cough*. – ty Highland_Hunter & Armelle69
– Added a supermarket to the mall. – ty Armelle69
– Forgetting to do the dishes now only increases rent with 5 EUR per instance.
