The Roommate [v.0.6.5 Public] (2021) (Eng) [Ren'Py] [Linux] [Android]

Build 0603 is about ready
Some further bug fixes, and clarifications. Hoping this is the last bug fix build and then I can move on to the rest of the new content.

Just a quick aside - please don't post comments to the posts with the links because I would like to removed those (the links) as new versions are ready.

v0.5.2
Fixes:

- Temporary workaround for if you didn't hire Tilly as your flight attendant

- Fixed an error if you go to the bathroom to relieve your lust and Kari walks in (or not)

- Added a variable to count incidences of unprotected sex with any given partner

- Fixed an error with pet names



Known Issues:

- If MC wakes up with an erection it interferes with the timing of the start of day text,
for example, he wakes up with an erection, you get the menu choice of whether to
ignore it, THEN it will say "You wake up refreshed" or whatever.

there's a LOT of content in our fifth week. I'm hoping to have it ready before the end of the month.

MC (you) is officially in place as the new CEO, and the new receptionists will be starting work.

You and Lois go to check out your new Executive Jet and talk to Tilly about the "Uniform" your Great Uncle had come up with. I'm still open to suggestions for a new uniform...

You'll have to deal with the young women Randy victimized.

There are opportunities to see more of Ashley and Mallory too.

The plot is thickening with regard to Greenfield Genetics and LactoMax.

You'll be meeting Jed, the construction foreman, to talk about getting the housing development back on track, and improvements to the Executive Suite.

And if Kari's now your girlfriend, you can expect some fun and games with her too!

Finally, there's a genuine "blooper" video coming for Patrons - a small matter of me forgetting to put Lois's underwear back on after running a cloth simulation on her skirt.*

She really does have a very cute bum...

*Putting the underwear back on Lois, I mean, not ME. When I said I'd like to get into her panties, I didn't mean in the sense of wearing them myself...

v0.4.7
0.4.7:
Added to the fatigue mechanic - if you reach the point of exhaustion (black on the energy bar) you can suffer from blackouts.

Fixed a bug that could result in the date being incorrect at the beginning of the month.

One bug fix for an uninitialized variable in the previous build, that would result in incorrect dates for new games.

Changed the timeframe so that the game begins in May, rather than February, thereby avoiding Valentine's Day, and cold weather!
0.4.5:
This is build 0405 of The Roommate - Released 17 October, 2021

If you're continuing a previous game, I would recommend you roll back to at least Day 25 (the day of the interviews). If you intend to have a relationship with Kari, it's essential you go back to at least Day 27.

What's new?

Further refinements to the recruiting process for the Exec Suite receptionists, especially important if you plan to bring one of the "youngsters" (Kayla or Rei) in as an intern.

Fixed it so the reception staff side images show when they're talking.

Clarification of the ground rules if you intend to have a relationship with Kari (in particular whether you'll commit to a monogamous relationship or not).

Numbered days replaced with dates. I arbitrarily changed things so that the game begins at the end of January/beginning of February of an unspecified year, just because it made the changeover easier! The new content for the next version will therefore begin March 1.

These builds are exclusive to patrons for the first three days, after which they'll be available to anyone.

Several minor tweaks to non-essential dialogue, mainly so that characters don't use too similar language to each other in one conversation, .e.g.:

Player: Thank you, Kari, this really helps.
Kari: I'm happy to help.

got changed to Kari saying "You're welcome"
0.4.4:

From build 0403 to 0404 was just a quick fix for if you hadn't gone with one of the youngsters for an intern.

No need, I think, to start over if you're coming from the previous build 0402 (or probably 0401).
0.4.3:

Build 0.4.3 is uploaded to my itch page - I have to get to work so I will upload to mega this evening.

The primary focus was on the menu system for the hiring process. I've included the events of Monday morning after your first night with Kari -- this should be regarded as unfinished, but wanted to help fill in some gaps and let you know where we're going...
0.4.2:

I may be repeating myself somewhat, but here's what I posted to itch about the new build...

I uploaded a new build in the early hours of this morning (September 8) which fixes a few bugs and makes some changes to the gameplay.

Among the most notable changes:

Lois will discourage you from offering Kari or Mallory receptionist jobs. You can ignore her objections, and you'll be allowed to make the offers if you wish. You won't get an answer from either until the next release anyway, so make your own call on that.

It occurred to me that they are both fuller-figured, so you also have the option of MC suggesting Lois is jealous. Take it from me that she won't respond favorably to that, but I guess there must be someone out there that doesn't care for her...

You also have the option to offer either Kayla or Rei an intern (trainee) postion within the Executive Suite staff.

I'm working on enhancements to the menu system, it's not ready yet, which is a shame because it would have made life easier when it came to choosing who to offer the receptionist jobs to. As always, there are limits on what can get done in the time available.

Finally, there's the night of Day 28 (for those of you who do wish to pursue a relationship with Kari). I had some technical issues, so it's not as complete as I had hoped, but it's a step in the right direction.

v0.2
While I originally thought this second build would have the second week of gameplay, it soon became obvious that I would need to expand on the mechanics of the base game in order to move forward.
So here it is, with a lot more going on "under the hood" than is seen during play, but there are a considerable number of visible changes that will be apparent.

v0.1 Preview
Initial Release

This update (version 0.2) entailed more work than the entire original build, although much of that is hidden from the player. However, it does provide a number of improved and new graphics and expands on the backstory considerably.
