A quick update showing the new and improved character info layout.

The old one is very, as we say ‘placeholder’ or ‘programmer graphics’. There probably will be other spots we can touch up after the release, but the goal is to release. And then do minor touch-ups and add more characters, maps, and things afterward, with an ear to what you’d like to see most.

The past few days have been wild, but I have been able to make some progress with the level-up screen and will hopefully have something to show next week~

Did we mention there will be leveling up characters? In the context of this game, it’s a character’s reputation or “Rep”, which in the current design heavily influences a character’s general ability.

A quick run-down of the basic stats:

• Charm – sometimes customers will pay a lot more for more charming characters, and it affects how well they can interact with others
• Sex – should be self explanatory~
• Hustle – affects most every job a little bit, sometimes more
• Smarts – affects stat growth and how effective items are
• Toughness – a general strength stat, how able a character is in combat and building things
• Obedience – determines if a character will do an assigned task, important to house workers

The stats on the right are special skills that vary greatly between characters. You can gain and increase them when you level up. Basic stats on the left increase at random depending on how you use the character.
