Build a Brothel 0.2.0-jam patch notes

Just in the nick of time for the tail-end of Strawberry Jam 9, the first update for Build a Brothel aims to patch up the most pressing bugs from its initial release. Now everyone should be able to play without requiring a download, no matter their screen resolution - and also, major problems centered around Rooms View have been fixed!

While no new content has been added on this update, new additions will be available after all the edges of the Jam build are sanded off. Next up on the priority list is a fully-fledged tutorial to explain the more complicated parts of Build a Brothel, along with some balancing changes and new art assets for Backgrounds and the End of Night shop. Please keep an eye out, and consider following our Itch profile for updates!

Features

• A web build is now available! You can now play the game, no download required.
• Improvements on UI scaling across different resolutions. Players on Windows should now be able to use any resolution or aspect ratio.
• A fullscreen toggle is now included in settings. We strongly recommend you play in 1080p Fullscreen if you experience any issues, but it should no longer be necessary.
• You can check how to control the game in the new "Controls" option on the main menu! This is a hot-fix until a proper Tutorial can be implemented, but it also serves as a refresher!

Bug-fixes

Management View

• Shop icons are bigger and keep their aspect ratio, removing their "squashed" look.

Kinks View

• Text for the Kink you've selected no longer disappears on selection.

Rooms View

• Room drag-and-drop is no longer strangely specific on where a valid position is and isn't - now drag-and-dropping is more consistent across the board.
• Escorts in Kink View no longer leave their info box.
• Clients and Escorts in Rooms view now have their feet firmly planted on the ground.
• Escorts will properly show where they're at when a client isn't assigned to a room ("Hanging out in Room 3A", for example).
• Lauren now has a third Kink (Fetish) in his repertoire.

Other

• The "Start next day" button now reads "Start next night".
• Dynamic music tracks should now loop correctly if you stay in the same View for long enough.
• The Daytime music track will no longer play in the background once the player has started a next Night.

Known issues

Bugs that have been spotted on this patch, and that will be fixed in future updates.

• Some UI items, such as "Move to Rooms", behave weirdly outside of 16:9.
• Clients and Escorts aren't fully hidden when the curtains close. This is most noticeable with Honie.
• Guessing Kink animation plays, even if the line drawn can't reach the Kink being hovered.
• Minor stuttering on the initial "Start Next Night" button.
• Client's breast sizes will show up correctly in clothes, but will display incorrectly in their body.
• While Escorts will no longer disappear once "Collect tip" is pressed, they still remain in the room instead of returning to their info boxes.

Simple bugs that will be updated shortly after this devlog.

• The Daytime music track does not loop.
• The game starts at Day 2.
