(Game)Day and Night cycle and alternate outfit

Hello everyone, this week's a bit less sex related than the recent updates but I still have to work on these things to make the game interesting ;p.

This week is about the day and night cycle. If you've played WhiteBlade already, you may have noticed that sleeping in Palestra triggers the day or night inside Palestra. This time around, this applies to the whole game but in a different way.

Unlike in WhiteBlade, where you could sleep during the day or night, you can only sleep at night. In Harem Builder, the activities you can do, the characters who appear and the appearance of a map will also vary depending on the time.

During the day you can:

- Progress with most of your quests
- Help out your harem members with their daily activities (more on this in a later update)
- Milk your harem members.
- Use the shops

During the night you can:

- Go to the contests
- Train your harem members (more on this in a later update)
- Do some bonding activities (more on this in a later update)
- Meet up with your harem members at your home (Mostly used to change your current party or simply talk to them)

To alternate between day and night some or one of these activities will have to be done. For example, shopping during the day or milking someone won't change the time of the day, but spending the day working with Souma in his restaurant will change the time from day to night.

Once night falls, the same rule applies, you can do a certain number of activites before the main character tires out and needs to go to sleep.

Also, you will be able to progress through most "quests" during the day, but since the maps are changing during the night or the day, you may only be able to talk to a certain character during the day or the night.

Map changes:

As for the nightly events, I will go into more details about them later, but these events are like dates where you take out some of your members for a fun time.

Nightly events:
During the night, the milk farm turns into a milk bar where you can enjoy a few drinks and some shows!

As I said in a previous update, I wanted to give the main character some costume options, here's the first one available in the cyber city, the pilot suit!

Things are coming along nicely. The night and day events still need a lot of work and in general, the eventing for this game is much much harder than WhiteBlade because of the amount of characters and different variables I need to take into account, but I like where its going at the moment! :p

    1. If you want to skip the day faster, there are some characters you can spend the day with and they won't ask you to do much (like Corrin). As for the night, you can go to sleep as soon as it falls if you want to.

      During the night, when you go to your home, you will normaly always be able to talk to all the characters you recruited so far.

    1. I'll talk more about this later, but the training is used to learn new "skills" not level up ;).
