Improving Player Feedback
There have been a number of comments asking about the exact mechanics behind Resistance and how it can be modified. Resistance is a relatively recent addition to the game (being added in v0.4), as a way of allowing repeated Major scenes while also encouraging exploration and discovery of new content. While the game design is sound, the way it is currently being presented to the player is severely lacking.
As a first step to fixing that I'm expanding the notebook to include a "Notes" tab. As the player learns more about the serum notes about it's functionality will be added here. Additionally, I've added each girls current resistance in brackets beside their influence score on the main HUD so you don't have to open the notebook to get this important information every time you go to trigger a major scene.
And since I was tinkering around in that part of the code I right justified the Serum Count information because it was bothering me. It looks much better now.

oh yeah also would it be possible to add some ways to reduce influence a bit faster than waiting around like 20 days before its low enough to increase influence by a noticable amount at first i thought the purple one was supposed to reduce it but its the same as the blue and its damn hard getting just one of them to 100 before the end since the last few days they are all at 100 resistance more or less so i cant get those last 10 lvls
so i was thinking i read something about a hub or what it was for lily should be in this update ? is that true or is it just something you cant use or dont notice or what is it ? also there should be something about a threesome with nora and your mom right ? how do i make that happen
Excellent! Adding resistance the the HUD is huge. The only other piece of info that isn't easily available that you really need for a serum action is some kind of indicator (counter?) that tells you which ones you've done before. That's important since you can accidentally skyrocket the resistance (and waste precious days) if you forget you've already done an action.
You're right. I'll do some thinking and see where I can fit that looks natural.
I love the game, even though the resistance does need tweeking, but then I recall the wise words of Locutus of Borg, "Resistance is futile. Your life as it has been is over. From this time forward, you will service us."
Bwahaha I am going to think of that every time the game tells me "she must have resisted the drug."
