Glamour - Version 0.11

Main character Kate lived her whole life in a small rural town with her older sister, brother, father and her strict Christian mother. But one day her family falls apart, her father leaves, and her older sister moves out to the big city. Kate is 18, she recently graduated high school and it's time to look for a higher education. Her older sister Julia invites her to move in with her and apply to the same experimental college she's attending herself. The college is free, but it has very, em, unique take on education. Kate accepts Julia's offer and is hoping to start a better life in a new place. But maybe her life won't be as glamourous as she hopes it to be…

0.11 is all about characters you might already know from BB. We also decided to reboot their stories. If you missed the news, here's a recap: Glamour doesn't start one year after BB anymore, Max doesn't get sent into the military camp, now his story starts at the same time as Kate's and two storylines go in parallel. We hope the new story will be interesting for both new and recurring players. One of the future posts (marked as a spoiler) will have more details about what parts of the old story has changed.

If you use an old save from 0.10 or earlier, then the game will delete all your progress with Alice, Lisa and Vicky as if you've never met any of them. You'll get a new quest (Reboot), which will give you a hint of what to do. You'll need to talk with Alice so she can invite Kate in the cafe. Functionally it will all work just like before, but the dialogs will be new. After Alice invites Kate in the cafe, she'll have to go there to talk with Lisa three times, which will rename the quest into "Alice". After that Alice will invite Kate into her home. Don't worry, if you get lost, you'll have a quest log to fall back on along every step of the way. New save files will start the Alice quest without having to go through the reboot.

Two days after you go to Alice's house for the first time, there will be a new icon on the map. You'll be able to visit at any weekday from 14:00 to 17:30, as often as any other day.

This will unlock a series of long events in Alice's house. Kate will meet Ann, Kira and, of course, Max. For now Alice won't be paying anything despite her promises. We're still tweaking the balance and don't want to shower players in money. The events themselves are worth going through them.

We also buffed the chance of Nick barging in the bathroom when Kate is taking a shower or a bath. They also depend on how many events you've already seen, which should speed up seeing all unique events with Nick and Julia. Currently game has a bug where Nick can barge into the bathroom before he and Kate even meet each other. We'll fix it tomorrow. 

Another good news: we now have two separate servers for graphics and logic, so the game shouldn't lag as much, especially at release.
