Build 02.24.22 release notes
🕑 Added 2022-02-24 20:44:16 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
Finally another Patreon build is out for you to try.
Sorry it took so long but this was quite a big release with a bunch of new features/content.
Some of the highlights are the new Professions system which will now govern each specialty under certain professions. For example, the farming specialty is now part of the Agriculture profession.
Professions level can be increased by using their corresponding specialties, and as you level up each profession, you can unlock new traits that gives you new advantages/abilities/more specialties, etc.
The other focus of this build was the dating system. HTopia is a dating sim and I've had that system quite abandoned for a while, so I've been iterating over how to make it better. Right now I've defined a process for the dates into two levels.
Level 1 is dating in certain locations to raise a character's friendship level further.
Dates Level 2 are focused on more intimate moments with characters in order tto raise a character's lust and get them some hot moments with them ;)
Right now the dating system has been enhanced with a few new UI changes to know how good you did in a Date level 1. There is still just one date in the Theme Park but you can now see how each character behaves differently depending on their personality.
I'll continue enhancing the dating system in future builds.
Other big features are the ability to lockpick and break into houses/businesses to steal stuff and an improved real estate system to manage properties/housing of the game.
