All That Glitters [v0.1.5] By Neph93

v0.1.5

Highlights

• The Lily route in Sunset Park has been expanded, adding a new quest flow from jogging to Iron Works Gym.
• Iron Works Gym is now discoverable. The route that starts with Lily opens the door to new faces and more personal moments that may become more important later in Maplewood.
• The work system received a major update: trust, boss decisions, promotion, and weekly payment flows are now clearer.
• Critical health and hospital flow has been strengthened; the process from collapse to recovery is now more consistent and meaningful.
• Journal, Work, and quest guidance were improved; it is now easier to track the next step.
• The Brother’s PC route has been restructured. An innocent browser-history check can slowly turn into a more personal and more dangerous curiosity.
• Post-shower mirror moments were refreshed. Sometimes a brief glance caught through the steam is enough for the character to notice their own body in a different way.
• The Arousal system is now active; some intimate, risky, and more personal scenes can now leave an emotional mark on the character.

Work System

• The work system has been comprehensively rebalanced: discipline, promotion, salary, and boss meetings now function more consistently.
• The strike system was removed; your performance at work now reflects more clearly on workplace trust.
• Warning and termination processes are now more tied to events, reducing sudden and unexplained breaks.
• Promotion and weekly payment flow were renewed; deductions and boss decisions are now easier to read.
• Work-based skill gains now progress more smoothly in early game and more controlled in later stages.

Interface and Navigation

• Settings and core UI flow were simplified.
• The mirror and makeup screens were redesigned; information density was reduced and usability was improved.
• Quest/status notifications were added to the Journal and Work tabs.
• Short guidance lines were added to Journal quest details; it is now clearer where quests are pointing.
• Ruby’s Diner internal transitions were made more consistent.
• New options were added to both phone and face-to-face dialogue flows for boss communication.
• A new location card display option was added: in “Settings > Gameplay > Navigation”, you can switch cards to horizontal or vertical layout.
• A Tips panel was added to the top bar. Important gameplay steps in the story now appear here as the next things to do: meeting Lily and exploring the mall, jogging and the Iron Works Gym route, your sibling’s computer, pre-sleep relaxation and shower moments, all gathered in one place.
• Each tip card shows required conditions for that step (friendship level, energy, corruption, character lust thresholds, etc.) with live values and green/yellow indicators, so players can see at a glance which conditions are met.
• Completed tips are moved to a separate “Completed” section, and the panel updates itself in the background as the game progresses.
• Inside The Daily Grind in Old Town, there are now two separate coffee options: drink on-site or take it to go.
• The Relations panel now shows the schedules of characters you know: where they are during weekday and weekend time ranges is summarized on one screen.
• Short videos shown in story text now start automatically when they enter the viewport, if autoplay is enabled in settings; they pause when you scroll away. Some browsers may start muted at first; in that case, tap once to enable audio.

Gameplay and Life

• While exploring Old Town, you can now sometimes discover the bookstore.
• The energy/hunger effects of eating food and drinking coffee were rebalanced.
• The sleep system was improved; the flow after waking up early now feels more natural.
• When arousal rises, you can now use a new relaxation option in bed to lower it.
• Unnecessary notifications shown while need simulation is disabled were cleaned up.
• Makeup degradation was aligned to an hourly system; face cleaning now gives clearer results.
• Practice Makeup gains and mirror-side progress feedback were adjusted.
• Jogging content with Lily in Sunset Park was expanded.
• While jogging with Lily, a short first-meeting scene with Maplewood neighbor Mia can trigger under suitable conditions. For now, it may seem like a small encounter, but this is a face worth remembering.
• Iron Works Gym was added; the new route can be discovered naturally through the Lily line.
• A “See Doctor” action was added to St. Luke’s Hospital. After this short once-per-day checkup scene, health recovers, stress decreases, and mood improves.
• A new “What He Watches” quest line was added on Brother’s PC. What starts as simple curiosity can gradually lead the character to ask more disturbing questions about both their sibling and themselves.
• After progressing in this route, you can access the same watching flow from both your room computer and the PC in your sibling’s room; the “watch porn” option becomes available on both sides.
• You can now buy a laptop and use it in your own room.
• Post-shower mirror moments were converted into short, more personal moments that can now appear organically inside the shower scene when conditions are met.
• Mirror moments now vary based on fitness, confidence, and body-development thresholds; first-notice scenes and later random variations were made more erotic and character-focused.
• The Daily Grind was added. It has entered the game in a basic form for now, with infrastructure prepared for future expansions.
• Small adjustments were made to overall gameplay flow.

Arousal System

• The Arousal system was activated and made visible in the interface.
• Some intimate, risky, or more private scenes can now increase arousal.
• Arousal is capped at 100 and naturally decreases over time.
• When the value reaches 70 or higher, a high-arousal notification appears in the top bar.
• Post-shower mirror moments, Brother’s PC content, secret peeking scenes in the shower, and some park encounters now operate in connection with this system.
• For now, this system establishes a foundation; in the future, more scenes and character routes may connect to the consequences of this feeling.

Interactions and Conversations

• Back behavior on conversation screens can now be selected in settings.
• Marcus conversations were adjusted by time of day; 15 new variations were added.
• Lily conversations were adjusted by time of day; 16 new variations were added.
• Brother’s PC content was made more gradual and character-focused; first discovery, revisiting, digging into history, and the later private watching flow are now connected more consistently.

Fainting and Collapse Improvements

• After Energy
