first scene
Juliet: You're terrible, Heileen! Worst fighter ever!
2nd scene when you reach level 5 in Fencing:
Juliet: You're not half-bad.
Final scene when you reach level 10:
Juliet: I underestimated you. You are a wonderful fighter... BUT NOT AS GOOD AS ME.

So there's LESS scenes, but probably more important since it encourages people to use the +3 character and learn a bit about them.
Yes something like that is just what I meant :) and then you at least feel there is more point to picking someone to work with then just for the +3

There was already a short text on the right side of the screen, but surely a short scene is a bigger incentive :)

jack1974 wrote:Yes silly stuff will be there! I wrote that part myself, what did you find ?
Spoiler:
First off, Silly Stuff page itself. "The most obscene and silly things awaits you"
- "await"

"unless you want to lose your soul to the eternal damnation!"
- "to eternal damnation!"

Sloth points
"Heileen, are you planning to sleep the morning away?"
- "planning on sleeping" or "do you plan to sleep"

"I whimpered and shut my eyes, not wanting to deal the system."
- "deal with the system."

Lora's last dance
"Lora! She ate my specialty meal based on beans"
- maybe "She ate my super special bean casserole" or some other dish. Just not "specialty meal based on"

"Her farting was so loud that the bridge was wiped out with no trace of any living form."
- Hmm, maybe "Her farting was so excessive that all traces of life were wiped from the deck."

Hidden romance option
"You sure have many people to choose from romantically."
- "You sure have a lot of romantic options."

"Time to check the game directory and see if there's not a hidden image somewhere."
- strike "not".

A real pirate meeting
"Alright, we are all gathered here today to discuss a few issues and suggestions that have been brought up from the last pirate meeting."
- "brought up at"

"Heileen's persuasion skills specialize in guilt-tripping and manipulation,"
- uhm, maybe "Heileen's means of persuasion favor guilt trips and manipulation,"

"One pirate leader brought forward some holidays pirates can celebrate throughout the year."
- "brought forth"

"Anyway, what would Shark Week be about anyway?"
- Strike one "anyway"

Thanks. I've fixed the bugs reported but I also finished writing the profession endings so I'm waiting for Sarah to proofread them before doing the next 0.73 update!

Cool. I'm looking forward to the updated text scenes, since otherwise, this game feels sort of like two separate games that happened to be bundled together; the romance/dating 'visual novel' and the stat-raising little sim aspects. Currently at least, they do not seem to affect eachother at all, so that's a bit disappointing.

Okay, so a few scenes devoted to each profession with the +3 character is a go then. ^^v

Will help bridge the romance+stat raising so it doesn't feel too disconnected.

(As a small heads-up, since it's nearing Xmas, will be pretty busy at my other job until 18th, so we'll see what we can accomplish.)

Well the important is the profession job endings since I think the player should be rewarded for those. Then probably will officially release the game since want to have it ready for Christmas, but of course there can be future updates with extra stuff like that :)

Today I've uploaded version 1.0 with the separate installers. Unfortunately while testing the Mac version I discovered that there's still a fullscreen bug that makes the game unplayable :( so for the Mac only I had to recompile the game using the old libraries which are slower but still more reliable. For Windows and Linux users instead I was able to use the new version :)
Unless someone report a serious bug in the next days this will be the final release build!

Updated the game to version 1.0a which has only a replaced scene in the Sebastian route, and a few typos/fixes all around the script.
