Glamour 0.6 change log (updated)

This time we spent a lot of time on gameplay mechanics, but we haven't forgotten about new content either.

Quest log

Many players were getting stuck every once in a while and were confused about where they were supposed to go. Last month we cobbled together a walkthroug...

Important things

0.6 release is getting close, we're working every day to finish everything we've planned. Today I'm going to tell you about upcoming update.

There are many different opinions about what's the most important part of any game. Most people will say gameplay, someone will say the story or graphics. And someone will say neither matters at all. We spend a lot of time on all of them. But for me it's pr...

Friendly conversation (0.6)

Can I copy your homework? (0.6)

0.6 parameters

Today I want to talk about RPG elements. All characters will have many parameters. This is what we're adding in 0.6, and many of them will already be working as intended, not just introduced.

After starting a new game or loading an old save file the game will generate parameters for all characters, including college grades, tastes and preferences, relationship with the main character, etc.

Marketing nightmare

We're joking, of course. Or are we..?

Homework (0.6)

Polls are back

We didn't have any polls for quite some time now. First of all, every time we have one someone complains I surrender to pressure. Second, minorities are always unhappy because they were hoping for their option to win. But I think sometimes they have overall positive effects, and today's poll is one of those. This is a poll about 0.7 content because 0.6 had a plan for quite some time now and is alr...

Progress report

I've been absent for the last couple of days, which is why there was no news. But the work on 0.6 kept going regardless. It's good to have several people working in parallel. Anyway, here's what was done:

All quest log texts are already written. From now on (as in, from 0.6 on) you'll be able to open a quest log at any point in the game and see your progress on any open storyline: basement, coll...

0.6 plans

I think I can safely say 0.5 release went well. Thanks to you we have found a couple dialog-related bugs, we'll patch them out along with a number of other small fixes soon.

It's time to talk about 0.6 plans. First of all, we're going to work on the content we didn't add in 0.5. Full list was in our previous post, but I'm going to talk about some parts today with more details.

We plan to f...

Full walkthrough (spoilers)

This walkthrough is written for Glamour 0.5. It's full of spoilers, so you should only read it if you're stuck or want to make sure you've already played through all of the content available.

0.6 will introduce a in-game quest log, which will guide players through events in the game, but we're going to keep updating this information by making a wiki.

F.A.Q.

• Do I need Patreon registration and what does it give me
  Technically, you don't need registration, but it's too useful to play without it. By logging in with your Patreon account you get ability to save your progress (the game autosaves at night when you go to sleep until tomorrow). Clicking on the Patreon button for the first time will open a Patreon web page ...

Glamour 0.5

This was a tough month. We wanted to make as much content as possible and might have spread ourselves too thin. Thankfully, we did most of the planned content.

• We didn't have the time to finish a storyline with the neighbor Maria and her son.
• We decided not to add several parameters like relationship level, attraction and such, since we have to balance them with some other things ...

Too hot! (0.5)

0.5 plans

Since August 5th is getting pretty close, we can already tell what content we're planning to release. We might not have enough time to implement everything on this list, but this is what we're aiming for:

• Cafe: dialogs with Alice, Lisa, Vicky and one more character.
• College: lesson structure, tests in some classes (for now it's going to be history, biology and chemistry. We might ...

In the classroom (0.5)

Familiar faces (0.5)

Massage (0.5)

Quality of life improvements

We're reading all your comments, even if we don't answer them right away.

Yesterday you brought up inability to skip through dialog with clicking left mouse button. We wanted to add this feature for a long time, but it was always a low priority and we kept doing something else instead. We finally added it in 0.5.

Also, we want to implement an option to return to all possible conversation t...

Flirting (0.5)

Today I want to talk about flirting mechanic we're planning for 0.5. For now it will only be available in college, but eventually it will work in other locations and situations.

So, flirting. Eventually Kate won't know how to do it and you'll need to unlock it by learning the skill from one of the characters. I want to avoid spoilers, so I'll only tell you it's going to be related to the main st...

Awkward situation (0.5)

College. Part II

Today I'm going to tell you about the bulk of the educational process, the lessons.

If Kate made her homework (either by herself of by copying someone else's homework), you can skip either the entire day or particular classes. This will mean skipping all possible events and it will give medium amount of knowledge. You shouldn't do it too often because a) you might skip interesting events, b) it'...

Glamour 0.4

Today is July 19th, which means $5+ Patrons get all premium content from 0.4!

As always, your client will update to version 0.4 automatically. If you don't have any client, you can download it from ...
