do you have any plans to add in milestone rewards? or roguelike aspects? make it far enough into a run, earn enough money, have enough extra cash, do enough missions, be harassed enough times, etc... and then you unlock some sort of permanent bonus that help in later runs, like starting off with certain clothes already gone/ "improved", more officers of a certain type, less missions needed for a rank up, etc.. I ask this because it takes hours to get deep enough into a run to start seeing end game clothing options (and events? although I haven't seen any)

That's a good idea. I was thinking about something like that. Back when the game was really hard, I was thinking about a system where, however many days have passed by when you finish the game (even by losing), they convert into bonus points. You could then use these bonus points to buy bonuses in the title screen, which boost all future playthroughs. But, it became too complicated, and it seemed to contradict some of the other design choices. For example, I didn't like that some games in the archive wouldn't look impressive just because they didn't benefit from future bonus purchases. Ultimately, I decided to go with the current bonus system, instead.
I did also think about having "feats", like if the main character gave X number of blowjobs, then she wouldn't take as much morale damage from giving blowjobs after that. But I kinda tabled that for now. I think the gameplay is complex enough as it is. I could try doing something like that in the future. But there's a lot of stuff I want to prioritize first. For example, I want to flesh out the evening events (pool, bar, etc) some more. I also definitely need to introduce more lewd scenes into the game, now!
Makes sense. I like the idea of "feats". The pilot becomes so use to harassments that she stops being affected by them as much. And hopefully somesort of meta progression will make its way in, in the far future once the game is much more complete.
Looking forward to any new events you'll be adding! Officers asking for different favors, and evening events will be great!
