It's time for the weekly dev blog update! Time is a really fluid concept right now, so it's good to have a regularly scheduled thing to at least mark the passage of another week. In one more week, it'll be time to release version 0.34. We've been making steady progress on the relationship expansion front, possibly even getting a little ahead of schedule.

We now track when the player cheats on an NPC (or multiple NPCs at once, if they have multiple relationships going on, lol). We've got better code for NPCs contacting the player, and better code for how interested they are in you. NPC's relationship to the player's pregnancy is now tracked, as well as proper tracking of sexual activity with specific NPCs (which is somewhat relevant if you tell an NPC that they're the daddy, amongst other things). I've improved and condensed part of the NPC data relating to all that, condensing it a bit and making it more usable. That, combined with autosaves now being fixed, means saves from older versions won't work in 0.34.

Now we're going to be working on adding "serious topics" to talk about with a romantic partner, such as admitting cheating, them accusing you, you suspecting them of cheating, telling them you're pregnant, breaking up, and things like that. All of it should be rather fun, but I'll caution you that we won't have time to write all that dialog for 0.34, so it'll mostly be placeholder text to go along with the mechanics. We'll also be adding rejection into interactions with NPCs. Up to now, they've basically automatically said yes to suggested dates or exchanging contact info, which isn't exactly realistic.

That's really all I've got for you that's of any importance, so I'll leave you with a fun Institute advertisement. Thanks as always for your support!

Giving A Helping Hand

Hello everyone, it's that time of the week again. We've been hard at work adding to AW, and we've been making good progress on the relationship expansion. You can now poison your date with home cooking, and pester your friends and lovers in their home. We've also done a lot of bug fixing courtesy of thorough reports, and we've fixed the autosave system so that it now works as intended. We've even added a couple helpful items to the game like cleaning robots and milk savers.

As everyone is undoubtedly aware, covid-19 hasn't been making life easy for anyone. I'd like to thank everyone for continuing to support AW despite the craziness. We know that a lot of people out there have lost their jobs and have other struggles, whether it's a pay cut or trying to get unemployment benefits from overwhelmed government systems. We thought this might be a good opportunity to help out where we can, while still helping to develop Accidental Woman. 

We've been offering freelance writing opportunities (non-smut) to people in need of income, that also happen to have extra time thanks to the lockdowns. It's a sort-of win-win situation. People who need extra money can do some straight-forward work to earn it at their own pace for a fair rate. We get extra writing for AW in the less erotic areas like background stories and conversations. We've already got a couple writers, so we should have some extra content in the next release.

If you'd like to do some freelance writing yourself, get ahold of us on Discord. Obviously, we can't offer amazing rates, but we can offer fair US freelance writing rates based on your writing ability. Because the rates are by character count, the effective hourly rate really depends on your writing speed. If you're interested in writing naughty or more creative content, of course, we can do that too. We just don't want to force people to write erotic things if they didn't want to.

Now for a few image previews!

Bathroom 4 of 7

Kitchen 5 of 7

The lover/friend homes have four main rooms, and each room has 7 variations on a quality scale from low to high. Based on the NPC's wealth and job, as well as a few other factors, the NPCs have different quality apartments. This will affect how happy you are to stay there overnight, and the range of actions you can take part in.

A bathroom cleaning robot.

The cleaning robots range from a simple Roomba-like floor cleaner to a full cleaning robot. 

We've have updated the maps for the player homes, in order to make them more user-friendly. The clean and wardrobe links now have obvious icons with larger click areas. 

A solution to help prevent breast leakage, particularly if you want your milk production to be reduced.

That's all for now folks. Thanks for your support, and stay safe!

Ceremony

It's time for the weekly update on AW development. We've been working on the relationship expansion as planned, as well as ironing out a few bugs here and there. We're starting out with the ability to have home dates and visit friends and lovers at their homes. Besty confirms that you can currently serve food you've cooked to your lover. Next, we'll be moving on to more aspects of relationships such as cheating. (Check out the previous post for more info on the relationship expansion and plans for v34.)

Unfortunately, there isn't much to actually show you with all this yet (outside of code or strings of text). We do have a couple items of good news though! First is that we think we have finally found the cause of the autosave issues, so they should be fixed for the v34 release. The second is that we are supposed to have art delivered (finally) by Ganassa for the title screen. We've also made some changes to the appearance of the title screen to give it a more polished and professional look.

The background image here is, for now, a placeholder. Basically, in case Ganassa doesn't deliver or if the art doesn't turn out as expected. As you may know, we haven't had the best luck with artists in the past. This is a one time commission though, so I do have a certain amount of hope. :D

That's all for this update. As always, thanks for your support!

Seriously?

So this weekend, being the nerd I am, I decided to make my own SIR model (Susceptible, Infected, Recovered) for disease spread. I've seen a few different versions in news articles and youtube videos, but I wanted to have one where I could play with the values to see what happens. 

Since I put time and effort into making it, I figured I'd share it with all of you. I'll include the archive in my Patreon and SubscribeStar posts, just extract the .zip and run the Html file. 

It's time to cover what we'll be working on for the version 0.34 release!

The main focus of this release is going to be the start of the relationship expansion. Because the relationship expansion is fairly large, it's going to be spread out over about three months, though we hope to have the majority of it done by the release of version 0.35 at the beginning of June, with June consisting mostly of relationship content wrapup. It's gonna be a lot of work...

This first month is going to focus on some of the aspects of more serious relationships, like visiting your partner's home, "stay at home" type evenings, and feeding your partner. There should be new stuff to do in this release, but it'll probably feel a bit hollow until we get things like cheating and talking about various relationship things such as pregnancies into the game for v35.

There will likely be a small amount of the usual extra small content items, just because they make a nice break from grinding away at something bigger. :D

That's about it for now, but I'll try to include some previews of what we've been working on into the weekly blog posts. 

Thanks for your support, stay safe out there!

The Mask Release - v0.33 Change Log

Hello everyone,

I'm happy to be able to present the Mask Release, version 0.33.0 of Accidental Woman. It's been a pretty crazy month, with SARS-CoV2 spreading all over the place. As I'm writing this, the number of confirmed cases just hit 1.1 million. This release focused pretty heavily on new content, so hopefully, it'll give you another thing to do while you're stuck at home practicing social distancing. I hope that you're all safe and not having too hard a time of it, I know financially it could be pretty rough for some.

As I mentioned earlier, this release really focused on content. This time the focus was on the sex scene system. We added a LOT of new content there, with multiple kinky variations for most of the sex system, and some new code to display it appropriately.  There's now nearly 40,000 words of sex scene content! We've also got a lot of new dialog with Lily, Kim, and Sara in the main story quest, as well as some other miscellaneous content in the game.

We hope you enjoy it!
