0.62 Progress and Mod Tools

As usual I have been quietly working on the next update. There has been some progress made but its not finished yet.

I have been working on the clothing sponsor which will take over the store in the mall as well as updating a modded sponsor which runs a tattoo and piercings parlor out the mall. These are both about half way done.

There has also been a few changes to "acceptance" calculations, they were mostly placeholders before and the new ones are a bit easier to work with. This should make acceptance i.e positive/negative about actions more consistent. They also take the girls current state into account more arousal/pressure etc. I think it will open up some new gameplay possibilities particularly in the early game.

Speaking of which there were also some changes to stat gains, making stat levels slower based on how many times it has leveled up that day/week. This can be toggled off but slow down girls becoming maxed out after a week.

There are also some balancing changes related to income, sponsors pay less now but you make much more from students graduating and meeting grade targets. So doing you job should be a higher priority than sponsors. I feel sponsors will still give enough income especially when more custom sponsors are added(won't be limited to X contracts).

As always there are a ton of bug fixes and code refactoring to try clean up some of hard to work with code, making it easier and faster to work on the game. Something else that has been requested a lot is night class specific uniforms, I am working on it and I hope to have it working for 0.62. The clothing system is one of the areas that is hard to work on, making sure they purchase for class, work and general locations and to follow the rules based on where they are getting dressed for.

Last but not least I need to mention the mod tools. The current tools are functional but not user friendly. They were created and released when the game first released so they are in need of an update. Good news is I have been working on that, it is a single tool which handles all the girl/mother creation progress with folder structure, config generation, image naming/resizing and the rest users would need.

I still need to work on the shoot and video part of the tool so this may change but I hope to have video editing and naming all done within this tool as well. Its not fully automated but it is a more visual tool and should mean making mods doesn't require working with any other applications.

Anyways back to it and thanks to everyone who still supports the project.
