interested in seeing this develop further, hooked on whats here so far. currently in 0.3.19, what are the NPC archetypes that the PC can interact with? As a male PC, I've found the Best Friend, QuickieBurger Organizer (really want to see the pay off to their questline), Awkward QuickieBurger Coworker, Roommate's Partner, Classroom Admirer, Classroom Harasser, Resident Advisor, and Arcade Denizen, wanna know if there are others I might be missing.

It seems so far that working at Summit Market seems to be an afterthought, with PCs encouraged to work at QuickieBurger, which I'm alright with, altho I thought there might also have been an NPC archetype working there.

Also, any plans to expand NPC customization to allow changing their traits and/or name in mid-game? I'd be a fan of such a feature.

Glad you're enjoying it! 0.4 will be out on Friday, including some new characters and a Story Hints function to give you a better idea how to proceed with their plotlines. There will also be a tab for them in the People dialog so you can see all the ones you've met in one place.

Summit Market mostly suffers from being the first entire event set I ever wrote for this project... and yeah, it's a bit lacking! But there's a contributor working on expanding that job.

NPC customization is something I'll look into. Changing their gender should probably mostly not cause problems... changing their name has some pitfalls, since it's also their data key and generation seed, but those things can be overcome.

oooh that sounds useful! nice to hear about these updates. For NPC customization, im more thinking of applying say the appearance changing to the randomly generated NPCs, since NPC archetypes can already be customized, but ig that can also be fixed by having more NPCs be added.

Question about some of the current NPCs: is getting with the Awkward Coworker locked behind further quest or scene progression? their lust and romance stats are above halfway rn, but I haven't been getting any prompts to take it further after dates, unlike with the Classroom Admirer. Also, only stumbled into the RA completely by chance while playing games in the lounge, are there plans to open them up to interaction atm?

I think they might be locked until after the QuickieBurger plotline plays out? I've been moving away from locking off interactions (it mostly just confuses and annoys people) so I'll take another look at that after 0.4 is out.

The RA doesn't currently have any content but will definitely show up more when I do the crime and punishment update, if not before.
