What's up, guys!
We're here to bring you another update: Living in a Brothel version 0.2.3 and Living in a Brothel version 0.1.3.

As usual, the improvements applied to version 0.2 also applies to the free version, 0.1.
This way, free version players can also enjoy a better experience.

This time, we were able to bring the update to all versions at once, so even though it took a little longer, everyone will be able to enjoy it at the same time.

Okay, but what exactly has changed in version 0.2.3?

This is that kind of update that seems small, but implementing it required a lot of work.

The new update brought the implementation of the Language Option in the Options menu.
This means that it's now possible to change the language of the game, both its texts and its images, on the fly.

Therefore, it's no longer necessary to install the Portuguese Patch for players who want to play in Portuguese.
It's a simple optimization, but one that is very welcome, as it makes it easier for anyone who was having trouble installing the language patch.

Furthermore, this makes it unnecessary to make 2 builds, one in English and one in Portuguese, for the Android version.
Another positive point is that this prepares the game to receive translations into other languages in the future.

A little more clarification:

We intend to release this game on Steam and we're studying what we need to do to achieve this goal.

Steam requires some adaptations, otherwise the game might not even be approved to be published there.

That's not the case with this update, as that wouldn't stop us from publishing it there, but the problem is that the way Steam works requires everything to be built in-game, and having the Portuguese Patch could end up causing that we lost support for the Portuguese language, which we definitely didn't want.

Honestly, the game's Language system should have been included as an in-game option from the beginning, but due to some limitations we had, in addition to the great workload we had to go through to implement it, made us take the "easier" path".

In addition to having to rewrite part of the code for the 4 builds: LiaB v0.2.3 PC, LiaB v0.2.3 Android, LiaB v0.1.3 PC and LiaB v0.1.3 Android, what gave us more work was having to recreate the Options Menu Tutorial to all these versions and variations.
As this tutorial is made with screenshots of the Options menu, so that was a lot of work, but finally this is properly implemented, besides the tutorial also gained a little extra part explaining about the Language option.

A bonus we got was that this improvement also applied to the version that is published here on Itch, so everyone can enjoy it right now.

So, another old problem from the initial versions is finally solved!

What else has been done?

In addition to work directly related to game builds, we also update our pages.

Our Patreon page received a reformat to better display the content in the About section, in addition to replacing some images with their respective updated versions.
For example: The Options menu images have been updated to include the Language option.

Our Itch page also received the same treatment, making these updates appear here as well.

Phew, that was a lot of work, but we finally made it!

We hope that with this update, the experience will become even better for our players.

The game will still go through some adaptations to Steam's criteria, but little remains to be done in this regard, so probably the next update will be the last related to corrections or adaptations to Steam's criteria.

We're finally close to completing the improvements of the current version and paving the way for future versions, which will bring a lot of new and cool content, and without having to worry about inheriting these problems from the initial version, since, although laborious, we're fixing all of them now so that it doesn't come back to haunt us in the future.

We hope that you enjoy this update!
See you in the next time!
