Development Update (Patreon)

Hi guys,
Now that version 0.3 is out of the way I’d like to let you guys know our plans for the coming month.
In version 0.1 I introduced the concept of the punishment system and showed a brief tutorial with Debbie. Now that I have the base game built and functioning it’s finally time to properly implement that mechanic. As with the demo I shall be starting off making it for Debbie. Partly because I have some of the code already made but mostly because I’ve got some fun stuff written for her and the the sports teacher, Sally, that I’ve been looking forward to putting together.
How many of the other girls I am able to implement the system for in the next version depends on how much time I have left afterwards. Rachel was our first poll winner so she will be the next up. Followed by Amy and then Cassandra. Then it will be time to start catching other girls getting into trouble. I will be holding another poll shortly on people's favourite students which I will use to decide the order they end up in the headmasters office (amongst other things).
Some abilities in the punishment system will need to be unlocked through changes to the school rules at the school board. This is to ensure that you are only able to level up the girls so far without competing the various side quests and gaining influence with the staff. I'm hoping to implement a number of new rules at the school board in the next update (including a very important one which you have all been waiting patiently for). This also means it's finally time for us to advance the storyline for Ruth, otherwise she will try to block your proposed rule changes.
I know a lot of you want to see certain side stories continued as well, especially for the English teacher and the Nurse. I should really try to get the alternative route to earn influence with Mr Wilson complete too. I will do my best to further these these storylines if I have the time. However, my focus for the next update will be the punishment system and the major storylines with Ruth, Sally and the school board. I've set a provisional release date for the beta version as June 15th but I may have to revise that closer to the time. The next update is going to be a big one and I don’t want to rush it.
