It has been a little more than a week, exactly 8 days, since the previous WN was released. So this means only one thing - the time of the release of a new post with weekly news, as well as a new micro-update. Fortunately, a lot of things have been done during this time, and, of course, about everything in order. This week was spent working on randomized NPCs. Undoubtedly, we remember that there were also quite a lot of votes in the voting for the plot part of the game, but this will all be done in the coming weeks. And now, perhaps, let's go through the innovations. The existing mechanics with improving relationships with randomized NPCs were completely redesigned, starting from the issuance of relationship points for interaction and ending with the chance of success of the interaction itself. Everything is now affected by everything, no matter how strange it may sound: time, the parameters of the influence in the biography menu, your attributes and the current level of relations. Undoubtedly, for some players this may sound a little confusing, but, to put it more clearly, the more you communicate with the NPC, the more eagerly he agrees to new interactions in your relationship. This is influenced by both relationship points and increasing influence points for your interaction with him: thus, you can not only increase his romance, sociability and other parameters, but also vulgarity. In addition, it is affected in exactly the same way by the appearance of your character: the more intimidating and ugly it is, the more fear NPCs around him will get. If he is beautiful, of course, they will be more likely to agree to your proposal, and if action was successful, they will also thank you with a large amount of relationship points. In other words, all this is now updated for the current version of the game and does not look like an outdated vestige. Well, to improve the situation even more, we have added more than a hundred new reactions, which now also completely depend on those parameters. Of course, we still need to work with them, but at this stage of development, this whole system has begun to look many times better than it was before, and, undoubtedly, it will be further refined. Well, to make all these innovations more noticeable, we also added a new perk to the main character creation menu. Its name and characteristics can be seen in the screenshot:

Well, now that we have sorted out the main innovation of this week, let's start with others. Of course, the first thing worth mentioning is that the vagina was redrawn for female randomized NPCs. Now she is drawn in a more detailed and aesthetic version, which means that it will be even more pleasant to look at naked NPCs. Not only because of the redrawing, but also because of the new interaction: now you can ask the NPCs in a skirt or dress to show their panties! Especially for this, a new position of hands, clothes was drawn, and even some systems were redesigned for more flexible options. A screenshot of this feature can be seen below:  

And even that's not all - a new system for the appearance of blood and bruises was added specifically for fights and aggressive interactions. Where you hit, there may be blood and a bruise, and there are 20 such variations in total. This is affected by both the strength of your blow and the randomness. Your fights will become more bloody, and the blows will become felt! The blood itself deleting from the NPC after an hour, and bruises after a week. Well, if you don't like this, you can always disable it in the settings.  

Are there still not enough innovations for this week? Don't worry! In addition to all this, more minor but pleasant changes were added: first, a new set of clothes appeared, and secondly, the NPCs had a press! More precisely, it appears depending on the strength indicator. The more power, the more prominent the cubes on the girl's stomach will be. The last of this list is a special position of the hands for girls with a weak and reclusive character. For most characters, the same thing will be done, so that there is a stronger and brighter gradation, well, now everything is only for two. You can see all this below, in the screenshots:  

Undoubtedly, there are also corrections, changes and innovations, but it is not worth delaying these news even more. It is better to read all about it in the list of changes for the 0.921b version: 

New content: 

- Added unique poses for randomized female NPCs with the "Weak" feature. 

- Added three types of abdominal press in randomized female NPCs. Its relief directly depends on the strength indicator. 

- In randomized female NPCs, the vagina was completely redrawn to a more aesthetic and better-looking version. - Added a new set of clothes for randomized female NPCs. 

- Added blood and bruises (more than 20 different types) during fights and other aggressive interactions. The blood subsides either after a fight, or after an hour of playing time, and the bruises subside after a week. In addition, the place of impact and the force of the impact depend on where these physical injuries appear. The possibility of their appearance on the body can be disabled in the game settings, if there is such a desire. 

- Added more than a hundred new reactions of randomized female NPCs to your character. In addition, the reaction system itself has been changed and now many of them change depending on the relationship, time of day, attributes of your character and even the character of the NPC. 

- Added a new interaction with randomized female NPCs-show your panties. Especially for this, a new position of hands/clothes was drawn, and the outcome of this interaction itself changes depending on your relationship with the NPC, as well as on the presence of these panties. 

- The system of interaction with randomized NPCs has been completely changed: interactions/conversations with them are now not only checked for achieving the desired number of relationship points, but also a certain chance of success. This success is influenced by many factors, ranging from the NPC's predisposition to sociability, crime, romance, and even ending with the time of day. All the individual features of a randomized NPC, as well as your character, are taken into account. In addition, depending on all these factors, there is also a calculation of the relationship points received for the action. - Now the «Eloquence» attribute is added when interacting with a randomized NPC not only during any joint walks, but also during any dialogue. In addition, the improving system of this attribute itself has been corrected and changed.

 - Now, with any interactions with a randomized NPC, you can increase his sociability, predisposition to romantic actions, vulgarity points, as well as other parameters that are in the «Influence» category. In addition, fear points are now reduced if you interact with NPCs without using aggressive actions. 

- The work of appearance features has been changed: now, instead of the initial points of relations with NPCs, they give a constant increase to the chance of success of dialogue/interaction, and also give significant bonuses to the accrual of these points, depending on the selected features of appearance. 

- Added a new perk when creating the main character - "Ladies' Man". With this, your dialogues and interactions with the female sex will become 30 percent more effective.

Bug Fixes: 

- Fixed a bug where if an NPC with a large/medium chest is wearing a sundress with something, there could be white spots and lines on the upper part of the clothes. 

- Fixed a bug where an exception was thrown when you mocked/humiliated a randomized NPC, and someone came to his defense. 

- Fixed a bug where if you try to change the general standardized school uniform of randomized NPCs, an exception about a lack of files came out. 

- Fixed a problem with saving on some android devices/PC devices. Now everything works as it should. 

- Fixed a bug where a black stripe could appear on the hands hiding the chest.

Well, and this is where we will finish our WN. We will continue to work further, so wait for new news from us. We will release the following news, as always, in a week or a little more. For example, in a week and a half, so don't lose us!

Well, in order for our loyal subscribers not to be so bored waiting, we opened access to the 0.921a version two days earlier for subscribers of the Best Friend level ($10).
