It is a kind of rework for the steam edition, with additional content. So it will be a more completed edition
Ah, I hope the steam version will be available at other places too cause german steam for some reason just does not have porn games in it, and vpns don't work on steam for that

How do you get the last character? I tried every place at every hour and still nothing. The in game hint system is great but only starts to work once you find the character at the right time
Edit: Found her myself, idk why but the game did not let me enter the dorm but after I restarted it it worked.

Another great dev period – all of the character endings have been coded and thoroughly tested. Now, instead of the placeholder "You've completed all the events... SpoOoKy!" message, players will see an "ENDING" button activated for each character they complete. (Yes, I realize the SpoOoKy message is visible in the image above, I kept it in for this dev talk as a reminder). The PT RE refresh is now essentially playable and has entered the alpha phase. There's just one more story event for Mamma Maria needed to render in order to wrap up the core game. My focus for the next two weeks will be:
  • Finalizing the last event for Maria.
  • Adding small, repeatable interactions and short sequences that enhance the game's atmosphere.
  • Resolving a medium-sized backend coding issue related to random events. (I had an idea on how to make the random events also have a sense of natural progression which I think will be a vast improvement on the current state and worth looking into)
  • Conducting general testing.
Following this, I'll move into closed group testing in an alpha state. During this period, I'll be focusing on additional refinements and improving the overall presentation. After these steps, we'll be ready for the Patreon Beta release. From Patreon Beta until the Steam launch, I'll start ramping development back into In a Scent.

Thank you to everyone that's been sticking with me thus far,
Dom

Its a shame that its so rare to see a transparent dev that updates his supporters on a regular basis like this.

We got atmosphere, yo!

Last dev talk I mentioned a coding problem related to random events. Rather than the random events firing purely at random, I wanted to implement some sort of natural progression. We are infiltrating and corrupting the gym after all, so it would be nice to be able to visualize this progress. I'm happy to say that this was successfully coded and implemented.

There are two lists of random events for each location, one that's completely normal and one that's suitable for a degenerate. As the player progresses with any of the main girls, the probability of a degenerate event being picked increases.


The strength of this system is that it's very easy to add random events without dealing with too much coding backend. Additionally, the calculations take into account interactions with all of the main girls, so the player experiences the system regardless of who he chooses to pursue first.

The weakness is that the system is very broad and has an awkward "midpoint". It's possible for consistency issues with how the events fire. For example, a random interaction might have a character upset at you for spying on her and in the next time slot the very same character could be begging for you to lay fresh pipes in her sink. I could address this by adding additional complexity and tracking to the system, but don't think it's worth the additional two weeks of development.


Overall, these atmospheric changes feel great and breath new life into the game. In combination with the 24 hour clock shrunk into 8 time slots, the game should no longer feel like a typical empty sandbox.

I've also introduced some more UI changes like changing the interaction icon (!) and fixing it to a stationary part of the UI.

I should have the rest of the random interactions and general atmospheric implementations done by the next dev talk.

Cheers,

Dom

OK maybe I missed something here. It is marked COMPLETE and yet after the final scene with the women, it just ends?

I really liked PT and what I've seen of the rework makes me very curious.
I'm really excited and wish you all the best.

what's next for in a cent?

Personal Trainer 1.1 Beta Available

It's my pleasure to finally release the beta version of PT RE



There are too many things that were added or changed, so the changelog will be a general summary.



Changelog
Personal Trainer 1.1 Beta
Content:
1. All of the main girls now have at least one new ending that's accessible as a epilogue upon completion of their story.
2. New story events for Alex, Daisy, Mayan, and Maria.
3. Added Jenna's house as a separate location. College Dorms have been expanded to be more interesting than just a closed door when Alex & Daisy are unavailable.
4. Featuring 18 original songs

UI:
1. Completely revamped UI
2. Character Index: This screen now serves as an in-game hints and replay gallery.
3. Beautiful new map that also serves as a live character tracker
4. Music player

Sandbox Mechanics:

1. A new time system that shrinks time slots from 24 to 8.
2. Dynamic random events that change in frequency from innocent to naughty as the story progresses as well as not fixed to a schedule.
3. Character locations are tracked live on the map, reducing guesswork and 'empty clicking'.
-------------
Old save files will not work. This is essentially a new game with an entirely new code base. Although it's gone through closed testing, the alpha testing team is very small and the scale of the code rewrite may contain bugs we have missed. Please report any bugs on Discord or right here on Patreon.

There's probably tons of other stuff that I've forgotten to mention, but my brain cooked.

I hope you guys enjoy it!

Cheers,
Dom
