I'm aware, the title of this post is gibberish. And that's okay.

First, Visual Stuffs

(People seem to appreciate the visual things more, so here you go.)

Note: This is all still very much W.I.P. but I've made some significant visual progress.

There are also a lot of new faces:

The full cast is up to about 32, though only 28 of them will be included in Chapter 1 when all is said and done.

Since there were a lot of new characters, I had to make some changes to the code in order to better manage it all. I also handled some things repetitively in the past due to inexperience with Ren'py and Python. That's been fixed (or is in the process of being fixed).

Boring Code Stuff

-Removed animated backgrounds.
-Streamlined gameplay.
-Can now view past story events for each vixen.
-Dual Cultivation added.
-Several new shops added.
-I am nearly done with the new user interface.
-Interactions with Vixens have been revamped. Mostly simplified for me code-wise.
-Finally got around to fully setting up the event handling. I had to make some changes since the game is now chapter-based. I still need to port over all the old and new events into the new system (basically just lots of typing, but what's new).
-Added Chapter skipping, but honestly, still working out the kinks on this one. Ren'py makes it difficult to load a game file, but not load "the game" until you're ready. So I have been trying to find some work-arounds. For now, you need to load a save file then choose to go to another chapter from the hub (bedroom or quarters).
-Updated some outfits and appearances for some characters.
-Removed the meditation loop completely.
-Removed the training loop completely.
-Cleaned up the Lessons / Lecture portion of the game. Less images, improved visuals.
- In place of those two removals, you can adjust how much time you want to spend according to the training you have selected (some take more than 1 block of time), and the stamina (sustenance) you have to spend. This applies to all types of training, but the benefits of them differ obviously.
- Slight re-work to acquiring training methods, they can be learned from instructors and used at any place where you can train - provided the terrain is appropriate. There are also some training methods specific to certain areas. -Guobei Shop has been redone and some aspects of it fixed/improved. Most notably you can unlock benefits for storing qi with her. You can also now directly feed her qi, which has an effect I won't discuss - yet.
- Decided on mini-games for the jobs you can take on. Haven't been implemented yet, depends on how long they might take, so they may be in a future release. It's a little difficult for me to categorize what else needs to be done, because basically, I'm just doing "everything that needs to be done, still" at this point.

I feel like there are some things that need to be connected and will only become apparent once I continue my playthrough prior to testing. It's getting there.
