0.1.9 release (please read)
Hey! I am here to announce that today I'll be dropping 0.1.9. It's basically 0.2 but with a few missing elements. However, there is some caveats.
Caveat 1: New Tiers starting next month
From next month on, the 0.x.x builds will be for $10 patreons only. This is a transition period where I feel guilty for just dropping that on you all, so 0.1.9 will be public for the rest of this month. $5 patrons will still get to play the more complete 0.x builds and 0.2 should release before June, so if you don't want to spend any extra you can just continue playing the $5 build by then and have the same experience. I'm trying to do this transition gracefully.
Caveat 2: It's not finished
This new strategy is to seperate between finished and unfinished builds. 0.2 needs a lot of writing still and I'm just not getting it done in time. I feel you've all waited long enough, but that does mean that this build is slightly unfinished. The unfinished parts are mostly the new company events, like movie castings etc. I advice you to not do these, but you can have a look if you want to see what's there so far. Just expect lots of dead ends so perhaps save your game before you do so.
That's it
That's all! I just want you all to play this and see what I've done so far. I've made so many massive changes and it's becoming a little depressing not getting to share it with my community so instead of having to write for a few more weeks without that motivation, I'm hoping to get some positive feedback and get enthused again!
NEW LINK
The 0.x.x builds will be available at the following link:
https://verkniptegeest.itch.io/maih2dev
Password: LAplay
Once again for good measure: The password will be changed on the first of june and the 0.x.x builds will only be available to $10 and up patrons from then on. But I think 0.2 should definitely be done by then so it's not like you'll have to go back to the 0.1.4 build :)
Please do let me know what you think of the new features, story and company mechanics! I'm scared and excited to share this new direction with you all. I'm honestly really proud of it and I hope others like it just as much.
Thanks for the continued support and I'm hoping to talk to you all in the comments below.

Wondering the same thing. Is there any progress????
Is there still progress being made or is it abadoned now ? Since there is no news in 5 months.
A step in the right direction, great work
cheat is not working
Very good update (even if there's no redheads).
i have an issue where it doesnt register days worked it always says 0 even after choosing all options when at work
me too
For some reason i wasnt able to generate any status on the last update or this one. is it intented? cant even go above one start with using the cheats
There's not a lot of ways to generate status yet, but there isn't really a use for it yet either. The status mechanics are in place but right now the only way to generate it is through outfits which are a tiny drop in the bucket and it will take many many days to gain a star that way. This will obviously change as I add more ways to generate status through events and social mechanics, but that's all for a later update. I'm trying not to work on too many things at once this time around :)
Yay I'm so happy !
girls all say no to dates or bootycall after day 1. Other than that, really enjoying the update so far
Can you turn on dev stats in the options and see what the success chance is? If it's NaN I have something to look for. If it's not it's just because there's still a lack of ways to build relationships. That's on the list for 0.3 :) Glad to hear you're enjoying it regardless!
Same. The game just says you are too tired to continue, but the sleep button is not there.
Can I assume you explored a few options on the first day after meeting the friend and sister in the restaurant? That makes sense that the fatigue system kicks in but sleep is still locked because you're supposed to start the party quest before getting tired. I'll fix it ASAP. For now, after meeting with the friend and sister, just buy an outfit, put it on and go to the party after 20:00 without exploring too much and it should work :) This isn't an issue anymore after the party.
Loved to explore the new content. Are you planning on bringing the escort service back? Potentially with a new roster of women?
The club and the escort service are definitely coming back eventually and will feature all new stuff! Just takes a lot of time to code and write it all :)
can't went to sleep just keep powernap...
Wait, when is this? On the first day? I never encountered that in many hours of playtesting. I'll look into it asap.
