Out of curiosity, I've put one of the girls to the new "House Pet" job. So far, I've had only two "report messages", and they both are missing line breaks before and after the wall of text. You know, between the report proper and the "otherwise, the shift passed uneventfully". One was where she "patiently waited in her kennel", I couldn't figure what it represents. The other one was for "the Head girl happened by", which, as I guessed, represents an increase in Oral skill. This latter one has another issue, the "you clip a leash" part repeats twice every time this report occurs.
Another issue. On the girl's status screen, the page with Fetish Categories and Job preferences, I've found something that looks like progress in the House Pet job. At the start, it looked like this: After a few turns, it changed to: I don't think it is supposed to look like this.
Also, some questions. The House Pet job does not decrease disposition, and doesn't seem to affect PCLove or PCFear; is that by design or an oversight? Does the training the girl gets depend on restrictions in the building setup?
These are known issues. We should have been a little more thorough in what we posted, but it was ~stupid~ late, and it was two or three days in a row of us staying up that late, me with testing the jobs, and Crazy trying not to pull out too much hair as he tried dozens of ways to fix issues, often only to have me say it didn't work or that it created a new problem, or something similar. So I guess I should explain a little more thoroughly what exactly was added, and what we know needs work, problems, etc. etc.
Strip Club waitress got an overhaul, I believe thanks to lyje1618. Lots of new lines an events, pretty much nothing in the way of bugs. There are a couple minor things that were left in from the previous text. lyje1618 really did a damn good job at a mix of trait and skill based lines. Ditto for Bar Waitress and the birthday event. I didn't test the birthday event, but it is something we want to do more of. Crazy has come up with a lot of triggers that weren't really used in the past like birthdays and holidays, so it'll be interesting to see what we can come up with. Expect more of that kind of thing at some point.
Bar Cook is another lyje1618 text run on, excellent work again. House Cook was added as well, though the lines are pretty much placeholders for now. I believe that one is intended to decrease harem tiredness and increase happiness.
Personal Bedwarmer was redone to have more random lines and outcomes, as well as trait based texts, by bsin. Same with girls getting milked. Really excited to see that he was able to keep it to one event, each girl mentioned by name, and then have each girl in her own message have her own bit added to the event. Building from that, we might be able to do multi-girl events, or events where an actual event is happening, and the event stays constant, but then multiple girls have updates on their part in the event. Really stellar work.
Matron now has some events like thieving, from Hanzo. I haven't really looked into the Matron job in a while, but I was going to soon since I've got my own side project. (Might release that today, actually) Also there were apparently multiple bugs and issues with pretty much all the matron/manager style jobs that were fixed.
Escort was about halfway redone by Crazy and lyje1618. I say halfway because I'm pretty sure they've only got 3 or 4 out of the nine possible clients written, each with different possible outcomes and events. Just as tough as writing all that, I'm pretty sure Crazy changed how the job actually functions from the ground up, to be kind of like the reworked strip club waitress only sequentially.
The puppy job (I know, it took a while to get to what you asked, sorry) is the toughest one, and probably the one that is least complete and most buggy. In all honesty, it received the bulk of our testing, because Crazy was adding a brand new training system to the game. The idea was that because the training was gradual, we didn't really want people to be able to skip it and miss the bulk of the scenes, so the training system was born. It's being adapted already for a job training pony girls (which will open up at least a couple other jobs for those girls who are trained), but I could see it being used for any number of jobs. There are formatting issues. We fixed a lot of them, considering that was done last minute at like 2am, but we knew we were releasing it not quite finished. More important than the formatting issues (which we will get to fix sometime) was getting the save and load training done, the ability to keep it sequential, and the ability to view the scenes. (For quite a while it was stuck where you could only see the lowest rung, no matter how far you got in training). The formatting fixes will be coming, but that's really mostly small fish for us at the moment, I think. There are other issues with the job to address. At the last second we got scenes based on owning other buildings working, but we still haven't figured out why scenes specific to having girls in other jobs won't play. I've got a temporary fix to that, but that fix removes the second/third/fourth/whatever girl's actual name from the scene text and instead just says their job title. There are other things missing too. Like you said, there are a number of things that it might be able to increase/decrease. That can be added in pretty easily now, I think, since the rest of the job is mostly built. The hard part will be finding time, and trying to decide what it's going to affect, and if that will be an overall effect or one that is scene specific. For example, I don't know if we want to have it affect disposition or not, because one of the triggers we're using in this job is disposition. At the very least for the refusal scenes (so far), we've got multiple outcomes based on disposition. We might not want to go the route of, "Hey, you're evil! Because you're evil, you get this scene, which makes you MORE evil!" Or we might. No idea. I appreciate the heads up on formatting man, and if you have any ideas, drop me a line. We'll get on it when we can, though that may not be until after the holidays. I don't know about Crazy, but this is my busiest time of year at work, and work has made Joey and lyje halfway disappear, as well as Hanzo and Bsin. I can't promise I'll get the formatting done soon, but I'll try to have a version up today or tomorrow where it's patched and you at least have ~access~ and the ~ability~ to see all the puppygirl scenes.
In the meantime, since I probably won't be likely to have as much time till after Christmas, possibly the new year, I've got a side writing project coming soon. It'll be one that won't be finished. Ever. I like to call it Whoremaster: Wherein Jonwich is a Very Bad Man.
