Dev Blog: The Senior

[p]Howdy![/p][p]Three blogs? In one week? Is this some sort of ablogalypse? No! We're just excited to tell you what's coming up! Today we'll be revealing the next role you'll be getting your hands on:[/p][h3]The Senior![/h3][p][/p][p]Out of the first five roles that were visible within the game, we've received the most requests from people that just can't wait to get their grubby hands all over the senior. This wrinkly old maverick may be a bit past the primetime of life, but they've still got some tricks up their sleeves. [/p][p]The senior is the first role in the game that sports a notable downside. The senior moves slow. Real slow. Choosing your pathing for each round is going to require some planning, or you'll end up finding yourself running out the clock without having eaten for the round. The senior is also not much for working, as work takes a lot more time than it does for the young whippersnappers.[/p][h3]Pension Checks[/h3][p][/p][p]Thankfully, the Senior has a rather enormous ace up their sleeve in the form of Pension Checks, which will arrive every two rounds. These checks are absolutely huge and will feel like you're practically winning the lottery on a regular basis. Since working is not a great use of your time, these huge pension checks can help you interact with systems such as education, pets, the stock market and buying furniture without having to spend time working.[/p][h3]Complaining[/h3][p]The Senior also has access to a new action called Complain, which has unique effects based on where its used. If you complain at the Landlady, you will reduce your next rent payment, but if you complain at the job office, you'll permanently increase the cash granted from your pension checks! The senior can only complain once per round, and can't complain in the some location two rounds in a row. Try to find the best places to complain each round to get the most out of the role![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The senior is being released with an experimental stamp as we think it's a little undercooked compared to the other roles, but we hope you have fun with it regardless. There are some wrinkles we won't be ironing out, as the senior would cease to be a senior if we did, but let us know what you think when the patch drops, which will be any day now![/p][p]Until next time![/p]
