Content Updates

John's Bathroom Oral scenes have been completely reworked
- New dialogue has been added to all variants of the scene
- Willingly submitting to John now requires being Bimbo, Sissy, or have a preference for giving Oral
- Now use the new Content Block system

Overhaul to John's dose scene structure
- Mostly backend, but you'll see some visual changes
- Much more organized, though functionally the same
- Will be applied to other characters moving forward
Implementation of John's Greeting content
- Effective replacement for Comment system
- John will greet you once a day the first time you interact with him directly
- He will comment on character traits and changes of interest to him
- Appealing to John's tastes can increase Relationship
- Applies to "Nice John" and Chanel as well
- Check out the associated DevBlog for more info!

Added new option to skip to Evening on Friday, September 1st
John and Chanel image handling have been completely converted to utilize Image Packs!
New images have been added for John and Chanel
UI updates applied to significant portion of the game
Check Mirror scene has been redesigned to be slightly less horrible
Penny's "Lab Release" scene now uses Content Blocks (Whore Route)
Napping in Room now always passes 2 time units
Using Phone in Room now has its own scene
Achievement reward improvements
- Achievements are still a huge work in progress
- They will be getting a proper once-over in the not too distant future

System Updates

Removed HUNDREDS of superfluous story variables from game
- You may need to clear your cache, but after doing so you should notice SIGNIFICANT performance improvements
- This is still an ongoing process and will be further improved moving forward
- I'm a bad... bad programmer
Preferences have been established for John and Chanel
Content Block infrastructure has been built for John's content
Update image handling to be more forgiving (not thoroughly crashing a scene) if an image is missing
Update Tracking functions to now adjust Preference updates
- When an action is Tracked, the "performer" will have their preference for the action increased by 1, and the "recipient" if any will have their preference increased by 2
- This is default behavior and can be overwritten where appropriate
- This is how it was working previously, but now saves me having to write 3+ lines of code for every single tracked action!
New functionality for tracking story flags in code
New functionality for tracking/manipulating time elements in code
New functionality for handling NPC memory, recall, and comparison of player traits
Several structural updates made to scenes
- Just getting old code up to date!
