The Roommate [v0.11.02]

v0.11.02
This one covers Tuesday, July 21, 2020, which is Day 79 of the game. You can tell that’s the date if you look closely at the lock screen on Lois’s PC.

v0.11.01
Later than anticipated, but hopefully worth the wait!
This release rounds off the Sunday night with the promised action with Kari if she’s your girl.
Then we go to Monday of Week 12. It’s a VERY busy day for MC, so much so that I’ve had to move some stuff to the following day. On the plus side, that does mean some of the work for the next build is already done!
I’ve already summarized much of what you can expect in this release, so I will leave you to discover the rest for yourselves.
There is one possible issue I’m aware of. An event that kicks off Bree’s backstory (her “accountant” paying her a visit) didn’t get flagged properly in a much earlier build and effectively repeats itself in this build as I never figured out a way to detect it retrospectively.
If you were playing from scratch that wouldn’t occur, but it’s one of those things where the following events wouldn’t make sense if you hadn’t seen this. So apologies if this gives rise to a sense of deja vu!
Anyway, it’s a packed version, I hope you enjoy it. Let me know of any issues!

v0.10.08

Considerably later than anticipated but, as I said before, it grew!

There’s probably as much content in the two days of the weekend as there is in most full weeks, but it covers a number of different paths, so you would have to do play several iterations of the game to see it all right now!

As has been discussed before, there are certain types of content that aren’t to everyone’s taste and I’ve gone to great lengths to flag things. I’ll post a preview image later.

But I do think there’s something for everyone.

If you’re NOT dating Kari, she’ll propose moving out and that leads to a number of options. You can have her move to another apartment or remain as your roommate, either long term or just until you move to the new house (with or without her).

You meet Suzie for coffee. The question then becomes whether or not you want to kindle an old flame.

If you’re on the “making babies” path, you’ll take the girls to check out the new house and, if Lois is a girlfriend now, she’ll be invited to tag along. You’ll also get a glimpse of her new car!

You’ll meet Trevor for a drink on Sunday and talk about a double-date with him and his new girlfriend.

All this and more in this build and lots more to come in the days and weeks ahead!

v0.10.06
It covers Wednesday and Thursday of Week 11.
Aria, Cassie, Kari, Kayla and Lois are the ladies in focus in this release.

v0.10.05
This is corrects an omission that affects players whose MC is not involved with Kari.

The game jumped from the kitchen scene on Monday evening straight to the kitchen scene on Tuesday morning without the niceties of going to bed, resetting the calendar, etc.

v0.10.04
No new content. Just a fix for the problem with the (optional) call to Carolyn in Build 1003 and a couple of typos.

v0.10.03
This build takes us through Tuesday, 13 July – Day 72 of the game.
You’ll finish the events of the night before if you’re on the making babies with the sisters path!
Then it’s back to the office for more fun and games.
Trevor has some worrying news, but Maddie has happier tidings, with progress on the takeover of The Twisted Kilt.
Kari wants to go shopping after work and you’re making plans for a night out later in the week.

v0.9.12
This build takes you through the Saturday of Week 10.

v0.9.9 BETA

This is build 0909 which fixes an error that can occur when a spurious phone
bool entry from earlier saves causes a python exception.

v0.9.7
Considerably later than expected, but I hope you’ll find it worth the wait.
This build takes us through to (but not including) Wednesday evening of Week 10.
Because it includes some significant bug fixes, I’m making it public from the outset.
However I plan to make the next full build (assuming this one is free of any major errors) exclusive to patrons for the first week or so.

v0.9.6
This covers from Monday night to Wednesday morning.

v0.9.5
N/A

v0.8.5
Build 0805 incorporates various bug fixes, including the patches that had to be applied to 0804. There’s also some content with Ashley and Lois that wasn’t ready in time for the previous build. Also adds a preferences control for text box opacity and revised buttons for the calendar screen.

It does NOT extend the story beyond where 0804 left off.

v0.7.2
expanding the story to Week Seven of game time (and Week Eight, kind of)

v0.4
Lois will discourage you from offering Kari or Mallory receptionist jobs. You can ignore her objections, and you’ll be allowed to make the offers if you wish. You won’t get an answer from either until the next release anyway, so make your own call on that.

It occurred to me that they are both fuller-figured, so you also have the option of MC suggesting Lois is jealous. Take it from me that she won’t respond favorably to that, but I guess there must be someone out there that doesn’t care for her…

You also have the option to offer either Kayla or Rei an intern (trainee) postion within the Executive Suite staff.

I’m working on enhancements to the menu system, it’s not ready yet, which is a shame because it would have made life easier when it came to choosing who to offer the receptionist jobs to. As always, there are limits on what can get done in the time available.

Finally, there’s the night of Day 28 (for those of you who do wish to pursue a relationship with Kari). I had some technical issues, so it’s not as complete as I had hoped, but it’s a step in the right direction.

v0.2
While I originally thought this second build would have the second week of gameplay, it soon became obvious that I would need to expand on the mechanics of the base game in order to move forward.
So here it is, with a lot more going on “under the hood” than is seen during play, but there are a considerable number of visible changes that will be apparent.
