Overview:
High-Rise Climb is about Byron, a financial analyst who just recently started to struggle. Help Byron climb the corporate ladder to become the most powerful man in the world. What will you do with that power? Will you use it to help those around you, or will you like so many before you, get corrupted?
Important Notes:
Certain Backtracking quests were added to make sure everything transitions properly. It is recommended you restart a brand new game. If you do not it will not affect game play but there is some small changes to quests before when Grace is promoted.
A work around for those that do not want to start a new game is press "Shift O", type in "$grace_suggesion_steal = False", type in "$izumi_and_grace_done = False".
Ease of Life Changes:
Added Skip time feature Izumi House.
Added Various Opportunities steps to make it harder to get "lost".
Changed Some Opportunities description to make it easier to understand what to do next.
Add Opportunities for when Grace is promoted to make it more clear on what to do next.
Balance Changes:
All Izumi and Grace Conversations in the house no longer give REL or Fear.
If threatening Grace in her bathroom (Izumi Promoted) now gives Fear
New Content:
Note:
The game now works in a way where no matter what you do with Izumi and Grace, how you promote them, if they fear you or like you, they all lead to same base content. They are different as far as some of the content within them, but they all eventually lead to the same spot. This means you will no longer need to have multiple saves to play different parts of the game.
A lot of work was put in to making this work and work in a logical fashion. It took much more time than I thought was reasonable, but it is hopefully working as I intended it to.
A full Izumi Fear Route progression is also working both for if you choose to promote Izumi and if you choose to promote Grace. They have slightly different content but ultimately lead to the same thing.
