A week and a half have passed since the last release of WN, which means only one thing - it's time for a new news release. It is difficult to say what we have done in this short time in a couple of words, and this, as always, will require several points at once, but if we talk quite generally, we have finally fulfilled the promise we made last month. We'll start with him... First, randomized NPCs... In the last update, we add an opportunity to have a relationship with them, and now there is an opportunity to go on dates with them! Naturally, our conscience would not allow us to do date like an ordinary static event, so it has a significant level of role-playing and replayability. At the moment, this system is not perfect and not fully completed, but the first successes in its development can be seen in the future updates, in micro-update 926b and version 927.   

We are preparing truly global innovations, which we will mention last of all in this paragraph... So, the sex scene. The new scene is almost ready: it remains to draw hair types, make a few edits and emotions. Of course, at the initial stage it is not perfect as the missionary pose, but it will improve over time, like a blowjob scene... And it is currently considered to be the fully completed second scene: finally, an unambiguous ending with a climax has appeared in it, and it is shown in-game and would not be replaced by a black screen... But scenes - of course, is a good thing, but you need a more... variety of content, right? And in this case, we have other innovations: we continued the storyline related to glasses and NPCs, which gives you this task. Now, you can upgrade glasses to the final level for a small fee. In the end, you will receive not only the item but the prospects...   

However, you can learn more about this if you start going through this storyline, by which innovations in this category do not end. A new event on the beach: as expected, it is 18+, and it can be seen only during the daytime... Now we can move on to the global - randomized male NPCs. They will be introduced in the 927 version in their beta version: they won't have a lot of clothes, emotions, or anything, but they will appear. You can see the initial sketch just below:  

As you can see, the work is underway and will continue. Well, and now to other points. Second, the plot NPCs. It is a rather complicated topic, but work is underway. The actions of Ayano Yoshida, who won the vote, are becoming more diverse, events with her are becoming more interactive, and she will influence almost all important in-game events. In the previous version, she could have completely abandoned you, and in this case, she will have even more reasons and reasons, so you should be careful or, in extreme cases, pump your eloquence well because you have to lie a lot... Well, how much this character will become more elaborated and more interesting, you can find out in the 927 updates because most everything related to it was not included in the 926b micro-update, unlike all the rest of the content... Third, the translation. As expected, it is constantly being corrected and improved. Now our translator's hands have reached the largest files - npc_main.rpy, which is responsible for the main interactions with randomized NPCs. Now, when communicating with them, you will see much less "bad" translation, and most importantly, the gender of the NPC in most cases will no longer change in text.  Fourth, perks. The winning choice in the voting, for which we are preparing, will be one of the strongest innovations of this plan, and it will be soon. Perhaps all this will be included in the 927 version, perhaps not - more information about this will be available only when the version is released. Now it remains to be content with what we have: a lot of perks have been redesigned for the better. Now they give much bigger bonuses and can affect your character's life... When they are selected, starting items are issued. Their price can reach 20,000 credits, or only small gameplay boosts. In version 927, you should read more about each perks. Perhaps something new will suit you, and you will try it out?   

Fifth, the technical part. And... To be honest, there is nothing much to say about this, but here, as always, there will be a list of changes to the 0.926b version:

New content: 

- A new mechanics of inviting randomized female NPCs to dates have been added. By calling the NPC, you can try out this function. It has more than 6000 words, which makes it quite replayable, and most importantly variable. 

- The blowjob scene with randomized NPCs has been completely refined from start to finish: now, instead of a dark background at the very end of the scene, you will cum inside the NPC's mouth, and it will be shown. In addition, the scene itself has been supplemented with some new details, and some flaws in the layers have also been fixed there. 

- Interactions with Ayano Yoshida have become even more interactive! She began to react to an even greater number of in-game plot events in her manner, as well as to your various actions, including both fights and smoking in the club room next to her.

- The storyline continues with a randomized NPC, which gives out a quest for glasses with which you can see through clothes. Now they can be upgraded for a special fee, making them better and more functional. Just call the randomized NPC who gave you this quest to the phone number... 

- Improved and adapted the translation into English of one of the largest files in the game - npc_main.rpy, responsible for randomized NPCs. Now there will be no confusion in the NPC gender in interactions and some events at all, and all the existing logical errors, the clumsy translation as a whole has been replaced with a new one made from scratch. 

- Added a new event for randomized NPCs. It is available on the beach at any time. In addition, there is a time interval of a week, which will not allow this event to appear too often.  

- Added a new mini-event, depending on the luck indicator. It falls out in any location with some chance... 

- At the beginning of the game, a certain number of products and food that appear in the refrigerator are now issued. In addition, also at the very beginning of the game, one recipe from the entire list is now permanently known. 

- Now, if your character has an attractiveness modifier above 330 units or has an - appearance feature "Looks like a girl", then you can safely walk around the women's locker room and even communicate with the NPCs present there of this type. For a new apartment, a good bed, a gaming keyboard, and a piggy bank. In addition, some perks have added a more detailed description of its operation, as well as some other advantages in its use.

- Now, if your character has an attractiveness modifier above 330 units or has an appearance feature "Looks like a girl", then you can safely walk around the women's locker room and even communicate with the NPCs present there. 

- A strike control function has been added to the fights menu, with which you can delay fights, minimizing the main damage from your strikes by a given percentage on the slider. - Now, if you are the actual leader of the club, with any victories in fights, the popularity of the club will increase. - Now randomized NPCs can give you only one blowjob per meeting at your home.  

- New random events have been added for fights, depending on your attributes, the vulgarity of the randomized NPC, and/or other factors. In addition, many bugs that were present in this mechanic have been fixed. 

- The old menu was completely cut out, and the interface change button was also removed.  

- Added a "Back" button to the election menu during a phone call with a randomized NPC. 

- Now, if your character's energy score is less than zero, he will not be able to run in the park as well as do push-ups at home. 

Bug fixed: 

- Fixed a bug in which, instead of displaying the indicator of predisposition to crime in the biography menu of a randomized NPC, the level of his sociability was shown. 

- Fixed a flaw in which the item "Form of the Occult Club" in the English translation went beyond the boundaries of other items in inventory. - Fixed a bug due to which the name Ayano Yoshida was not displayed in the dialog box with the narrative, in a place with the name. 

- Fixed a flaw in which, if you find out about the attitude of a randomized NPC, a hint was not displayed. 

- Fixed a bug where when distributing activity in the club menu, the text of the activities was on Russian. 

- Fixed a bug where glasses that could be used to see through clothes might not work under some circumstances. 

- Fixed a bug with an incorrect indentation in the diary in the category with perks. 

- Fixed a bug where an exception could occur during a call to a randomized NPC. 

- Fixed a flaw due to which, if you go into the women's locker room, there was a mismatch of emotions in the text and facial expressions of the NPCs.  

- Fixed a bug where randomized NPC guys could walk around the women's locker room, and they didn't get anything for it. 

- Fixed a flaw that caused the large breast size in the women's locker room to be "squeezed", even if the NPC was not wearing any clothes. - Fixed a bug that caused the Patreon code "money" to not work. 

- Fixed a bug due to which the hands up to the forearms could disappear from randomized NPCs if the interaction with them was on the beach.  

- Fixed a bug due to which forearms could be superimposed over the jacket of a randomized NPC on the beach.

So, this is the end of our WN. Naturally, we are silent about most of the innovations, and it will be possible to find out about them only by the next update, which, by the way, is scheduled to be released on the 24-25. This is an extremely short time... Well, as for the content part and its increase, we can say one thing - soon there will be even more content. We are preparing to expand the team and if the growth on our Patreon page continues to maintain positive trends, it will finally happen. What about micro-updates - the 926a version was released for subscribers of the Best Friend level ($10), well, the 926b version is open only to roles above Super Best Friend ($25). This is where we will finish our afterword and recall that the 927 update will be released on the 24th-25th, in February.
