Progress of patch 0.40C2!
Added 2025-04-17 20:40:22 +0000 UTCš§ Style & UI Changes
Hereās a breakdown of the current style updates and what's in progress:
šØ Global Interface Changes
ā Sidebar style updated for all stats.
ā Replaced the old sidebar title with a new animated one (the previous one felt a bit too plain).
ā Changed the tab name for better consistency.
ā Font style adjusted globally to better match a penitentiary atmosphere.
ā Inmate dialogue font updated for a more immersive tone.
ā "Sissy" font style tweaked to appear more feminine.
ā Text formatting polished across various sections.
ā Added 9 semi-animated emojis.
š ļøā³Planning to include dynamic emojis on stat-altering hyperlinks using JavaScript (or manually if needed), to help build a visual guide alongside the patch.
š¬ Scene Development ā Black Gang Arc
š ļøOverall script for the new scenes is already outlined and partially written.
š ļøCurrently searching for the necessary video material to generate new GIFs.
ā The theme will resemble the Latin Gang arcābut with a unique twist to keep things fresh.
ā Two portrait animations have been created for a specific character (no spoilers!).
š ļøAdditional inmate portraits are being worked on as part of the visual overhaul.
šØāš³ Chef Section & Guard Expansion
š ļøWork is underway on new updates for the guards' section, with progress scheduled around Wednesdays and Saturdays.
š ļøEarly work has also begun on the visitation room ā laying the foundation for the next major patch.
Note: These updates are more about preparing future content than immediate changes, but progress is steady.
š¼ļø About the Portraits
I know I mentioned posting several portraitsābut Iāve held off because Iād rather avoid the risk of someone āconfiscatingā them.
Still, Iām tempted to reveal a new look for Jacob in an alternate outfitā¦ but the element of surprise might be winning this round šš¬ Community Idea
Iāve been thinking about creating a general chat for all Patreon supporters where I can post progress updates, behind-the-scenes details, or just hang out casually. Let me know if that sounds interesting!
Thank you all so much for your continued support. Iāll keep posting the most important updates here in the comments as well.
That's all for nowā¦ I think Iām not forgetting anything else šā Much love, and see you soon! š

Ah yes, some vital info now: on early Monday mornings, time doesnāt advance and you pay the debt. This is designed so you can go to the cafeteria to work for the chef and see the new scenes with the Black Gang. I'm currently reworking things even more because... Iām going to create a trigger scene so you can meet Tyron from there. This way, youāll have two possible scenes to meet Tyron ā one in the backyard during late afternoon if youāve interacted with the black guy in the showers and helped his brothers, and the other... this one, which would be direct. Iāll tweak the stats by reusing this scene, and in doing so, youāll also unlock Tyronās scene, which I think is a really good idea.

2025-04-23 11:58:01 +0000 UTCIāll tell you whatās coming after this patch because with the current Latin Gang update, the latest Patreon one, and this next one, the chef has an incredible cash flow... Jacob as well, and... the next patch would be to do a similar activity with the guards (if it gets voted on in the surveys, of course). But after this, the family of Jacob, the warden, and the Aryan clan leader with their faction will definitely be next. As for the release date of this patch, it will be either Saturday the 26th or the 3rd. The reason... Iām adjusting the codes because maybe... the famous guard day, if it gets voted on, could include all the scenes... I mean, Jacob could walk through 3 different locations and make bridges. I know itās ambitious, but this would put you guys in the early morning at the cafeteria with many options and replayability, reducing the feeling of being too linear... I donāt know if youāll think itās a good idea... The reason for doing this is that I want each 3rd patch from now on to be a before-and-after in the updates... not sure if youāll like the idea ^^
