X-Change™ Life 0.19 - After Hours

Version 0.18a - Smooth Operator

0.18a is mainly a gameplay loop improvement release, that makes the entire gameplay loop of XCL deeper and more interesting. There are quite a few new scenes and content, but in general the focus of this release is an overall quality improvement of the game, especially from the male character perspective.

• Two new locations! A disco club called "The Electric Pickle", which is a new evening activity available on Friday and Saturday (with different music and things happening on those two nights). You can go and dance alone and get an XP boost that lasts the week, or you can invite Alexia along, as well as any of the bar girl NPCs! All of the NPCs have unique text and dialogue. You can affect your relationships with them and stuff. You can bring girls home, or you can just suck guys off in the club bathroom, up to you! You can also dance with guys who approach you (choosing to dance sluttily or normally), as well as explore the backrooms (and who knows who you might find back there???) - the club has a cover charge but legent has it, you can use various forms of "convincing" to get in for free. 
• Close to 100k words of new writing and descriptions spread throughout the game. 
• A brand new female character with an extremely involved sex scene that is hard to find - but you'd better 
• The Potion Shop from maxahoy's amazing mod has been added to the game and expanded upon! I wrote flavor text and a background story for the shopkeeper, Nyx, and have actually begun incorporating her in my plans for the main story. You can use it to sacrifice stats for rewards like increased dick size!! 
• Alcohol system. Gone are the days of endless bar girl drinking!!! Now you get to drink as well, and alcohol will affect you in TONS of ways. It will make it easier to approach girls, and temporarily buff your charm, but be careful, the more you drink, the more the chance you could get spiked... I'll let you discover this system for yourself! Basically there are 4 levels of drunkenness, and there are pros and cons to them. Get too drunk, and you'll wake up the next day with a major hangover. 
• Curiosity quests. I have incorporated Ebiora's amazing mod, and integrated it into the action points system. Now, action points will regen at a lower rate, and all regen will be blocked if there is something your character is curious about doing, such as visiting a specific location or taking a pill - curiosities are triggered by what you do!  Ebiora and I are going to continue working on expanding this functionality, to act as a guide for what your character feels curious about doing. Complete a curiosity, and you will be rewarded with little things such as additional action points!
• Player dick! You now have a dick. Yes. Sorry. You do. When you're a guy, you have dick stats just like other NPCs. The dick is dynamically generated based off your character when you create it, and can be improved at the potion shop if you sell your stats. Your dick affects how quickly girls you have sex with will orgasm, and your ball size even dictates how much you cum (AND YES I KNOW THAT'S UNREALISTIC!) You actually gain more pleasure in the masturbation minigame by cumming with larger balls, and thus clear more arousal... if you have a tiny dick, girls will balk when they see it (depending on their personality), and might even kick you out. 
• Office enhancements (courtesy of maxahoy) - low-stat players will now experience an alternate interview process, which if you fail, will put you firmly in the secretary job, you won't have the option to even be a salesperson. If you want to get out of just getting groped, fucked and doing admin work, you need to work hard! Eventually, you'll be able to earn a promotion out of it... additionally, the "notice board" section of the DynaPill break room includes demos you can complete at any time on behalf of your coworkers. You will only earn 100% of your commission instead of 125%, but better leads will be available sooner than would otherwise be possible. Also, if you don't want to complete a demo for a company, you can post one demo at a time on the notice board. Every night your demo has a chance of being attempted, at which point it might be a success or failure. Successful demos of yours will still earn you 25% of your commission percentage. Overall, the office enhancements are designed to both improve Quality Of Life, while also creating a loop that increases the chances reluctant characters will take pills and gain sexual reputation.
• Major enhancements to the performance of the wardrobe and the trading card inventory - you can now browse your trading cards as if in a binder! 
• Female NPC system with 100 NEW SMOKING HOT NPCS! (read that in a 90s style ad voice) FIFTY smoking hot Female NPCs have been added to the mall, and FIFTY to the club. You will be able to spot them, and sometimes gain arousal. They might make comments about you when you're a girl, and they might trigger curiosities as well. This NPC system is a precursor to the general female NPC sex scenes coming in 0.18b! 
• You can get spiked by X-Change at the bar!
• 1000+ new arousal descriptions. Your arousal at different things in the game world will now more heavily depend on your current gender and masculinity level, with tons of unique descriptions depending on your current situation and things you've done. 
• Male clothes are now an actual visible outfit! When you're a girl. 
• The bartender stops you from buying too many drinks for bar girls, and they will get weirded out if you're not drinking with them as well.
• Bar girl relationship integration - girls are now much harder to pick up. You need to work up "courage" to even talk to them. And they are just now way harder to woo as a loser/nerd type character. There is lots of new dialogue, and lots of new sex descriptions for sex with them!
• You can now play blackjack as a woman!
• Bar girls talk about their sex preferences if you're a girl! Chatting with them as a girl is a sneaky way to get the inside scoop
• You can now look at yourself in the mirror in your bedroom!
