House of Desires

HEADLINE: The Staffing Agency — hire your dream team Your girls are the stars, but a great house needs a great crew. v0.5 introduces a living staff job market with 6 roles to hire: - Barmaid — boosts your Bar's nightly income + lets you boost the whole team - Bouncer — fewer incidents, and acts as a content filter: turn away the clients you don't want to see (toggle off BBC, Gangbang, Lesbian or Threesome). Your house, your rules. - DJ — daily mood boost for the whole team + ambient music - Photographer — automatically shoots your girls every day - House Mother — keeps team morale up and auto-protects girls from burnout - ️ Coach — manages your girls' progression: auto level-ups, Gym training and skill growth, so your roster keeps improving on its ownEvery candidate is procedurally generated with a star rating, signature tags (Party girl, Ex-boxer, Yoga teacher, Frugal, Demanding…), and a salary that matches their worth. The market shifts every single day — new faces arrive, others leave. Hunt for hidden gems: a cheap 2★ with two great tags can outperform a pricey 4★. Free daily refresh, or reroll a single post on demand.Staff unlock through the rooms you own — buy the Bar to hire a Barmaid, the Security room for a Bouncer, the Gym for a Coach, the Photo Studio for a Photographer. Build the room, then bring in the right person for it. And who knows… with some of them, you might be able to take things a little further than a simple working relationship. --- NEW: Your phone (early version) You can now buy a personal phone in the Development Office — a movable, resizable little window with its own apps: - OnlyFaps — a relaxing infinite feed to unwind between nights - Calendar — rent, staff salaries and upcoming deadlines at a glance - Stats — reputation, money, team overview - ⚙ Settings — language, sound, video length… and set a custom wallpaper from your unlocked photoshoots ⚠ This is the first version of the phone — it's cheap on purpose and still light on gameplay for now. It's the foundation for much bigger things to come (Messages with the girls, and more). Consider it a sneak peek. --- Development Office — fully redesigned The whole Development Office got a clean, modern redesign: everything is now grouped logically (Expand / Special Rooms / Extras), with clear cards, costs and effects. Much easier to read and navigate. --- 15 NEW GIRLS The roster grows past 60 girls. Say hi to: Alexis Fawx · Aria Lee · Bonnie Rotten · Brandi Love · Cassidy Banks · Deauxma · Gina Valentina · Jade Kush · Julia Ann · Kenzie Reeves · Lulu Chu · Nicolette Shea · Payton Preslee · Skylar Vox · Sweetie Fox --- More big additions - Cinema Mode — hide the side panels and watch your rooms full-width, plus a "wall" mode that strips everything for a pure, edge-to-edge video grid. Perfect for late game when Reception runs everything and you just want to enjoy the show. - Save protection & sharing — your saves are now backed up automatically to your user folder (Windows: `%APPDATA%HouseOfDesiressaves`). A browser/cache wipe will no longer destroy your progress, and you can share your save files with other players. - UI scaling — an interface size slider (Options → Audio & Display), great for ultrawide and 4K screens. --- Quality of Life A big batch of comfort improvements, including: - One-click "Boost all" (handled by your Barmaid) - Drag & drop to reorder your special rooms - "Max" button on level-up to dump all points into one stat - Tier markers on the Mood & Reputation bars so you can see thresholds at a glance - Contract assignment shows each girl's success % + key stats - Hide or reject girls from the agency pool - Clearer night satisfaction tiers (cyan / gold / green) …and many more small touches throughout the game. --- 30+ Bug fixes & balance A massive cleanup and balance pass, including: - The "no rest" penalty now scales the longer a girl goes without rest (−5 / −8 / −12), so neglecting the Boudoir actually matters again - Fixed girls' stats inflating on every save/reload (KLEPTOMANIAC / VETERAN / PERFECTIONIST) - Threesome/Lesbian 2nd girl now gets full XP, pay, mood & tips - Gloryhole now correctly awards XP - Unified "mood" wording across the whole game …plus many more save, exploit and UI fixes under the hood. Available on Windows (portable .exe), macOS (.dmg, universal Intel + Apple Silicon) and Linux (.AppImage — new this time, for the few Linux folks out there).
