Weekly News #89


Already the 15th May, which means that the required period has passed. It is time to post another batch of news with a story about what we have done, and, as always, we have something to show and talk about. Well, now in the usual way about everything in order.

Firstly, randomized NPCs will perform here in the usual way. And... There were numerous innovations here. Of course, mostly on the part with their character traits. Almost a half-dozen of them have been added, ranging from a stalker to a masochist! Each of them affects the gameplay in its own way, so getting to know randomized NPCs will be even more interesting. Here, some changes were made to the existing characters, which you can already read about in the list of changes below ... So, further - more because it is further that we have innovations regarding the abandoned plant, and now not only participants are in it "groupings", but also the quest character with whom you have an event! You can buy some services from him: protection from hooligans, as well as... Girls of easy virtue. This has been a common suggestion idea, and we have finally added it to the game! We also added many other things that were offered to us by the players in our official resources, but about them later


Secondly, the plot. More specifically, Meiko Tsukasa. We saw countless people dislike the plot with her. More precisely, many disliked its direction. Well, that's changed for now because she has a... New plot branch! Of course, you still have to resort to blackmail to ask her out, but there you can act like a good guy that the girl will not leave without attention.


Thirdly, backgrounds. Do you still remember the room we have redrawn in the last update? We decided to continue this small marathon and blitzed through the available locations for the same redrawing. Now two more backgrounds of our own production have been added to the game: the entrance to the shopping center, as well as a grocery store. You can see these backgrounds below:



Fourth, bug fixes. Well, from now on, we post here a list of changes, where you can read about everything in more detail:

New content:

- Added a new storyline with Meiko Tsukasa, involving romantic interactions without the use of blackmail. Currently, it contains two full-fledged events that can drop out throughout the game, as well as a new system of interactions with her. 

- The abandoned factory now has a bully leader that you can turn to for a favor. There are two of them currently: the first, in which hooligans completely lag you and do not even try to rob / mock / do anything else aggressive, and you can also order girls of easy virtue from the leader of this group with whom you can have sex for some amount of money. Presently, a bully leader is always in an office in an abandoned factory, next to his name is a tag that identifies him as a quest character. 

- A new event has been added to the game - an interschool festival. It happens every 15th day of the month. During it, randomized NPCs are especially active in interacting with each other, walking around the locations. If you are in school locations, you'll 20 percent better relationships with randomized NPCs, you can new festival-only exclusive items, cheap snacks, and to visited club activities. In addition, it will also be possible to buy certain expensive items from the online store at a low price.. 

- Now, by increasing your reputation in the grocery store, you can earn yourself a promotion that will increase your salary. There are five stages in total, and in the end, it will be possible to become a store manager at all. - The background of the mall and grocery store was completely redrawn from scratch by us.. 

- There is a new interaction for the moment when a randomized NPC is visiting you - make tea. Thanks to it, firstly, you can improve your relationship a little, and secondly, with a 100% chance to add caffeine, sleeping pills or an aphrodisiac to this tea. This option is available once while the selected RNPCs is visiting you. 

- Title system added. For each of your significant actions, new titles will be assigned to you: become the head of the club, participate in student council elections, get a job - you will be given new titles. The page with them is located on the page where the achievement award indicated, on the next page after it. 

- Statistics have been completely removed from the section with attributes, perks and skills. It has been moved to the new Achievement Rewards section on the next page. In addition, new statistics have been added to this category. 

- The "Remove underwear" selection when you drink alcohol to a randomized NPC at your home split in two: "Remove bra" and "Remove panties". 

- In the perk selection menu for leveling up, added numerical values of the required points for the level, as well as existing ones. In addition, two new perks have been added to the same menu, which affect the gameplay in their own way.. 

- Now, the more you interact with RNPCs who have the "Recluse" and "Weak" traits in one act from the interaction menu, the less relationship points you will receive/less chance of successful interaction. The same thing works with RNPCs, which have the "Sociable" character trait, but vice versa. The more you communicate with him, the more relationship points you will receive for communication/more chance of success for interaction. 

- Added a new character trait - "Stalker". It appears if the RNPCs gets more than 70 points of criminality and courage. In this case, if the RNPCs has this trait and is in love with your character, he will chase him around the locations with some chance. 

- Added a new character trait - "Coward". It appears if the RNPCs becomes less than 40 courage points. In this case, if the RNPCs has such a character trait, and he is afraid of your character, he will try to avoid contact with him as much as possible, leaving the location. 

- Added a new character trait - "Touch-me-not". RNPCs can get it if he has low courage and vulgarity. Because of her, he will refuse sex if you are not in a relationship with him. 

- Added a new character trait - "Masochist". RNPS can get it with high courage, criminality and low love for the sweetheart. Because of this trait, the more fear an RNPS has, the more relationship points you get with it. - With high sociability, a randomized NPCs can now gain the "Sociable" personality trait. 

- Added a notification about the closure of a cafe in a shopping center with a schedule for its work. Now you will not be silently throw out or not allowed into it. 

Fixed bugs: 

- Fixed a bug where emotes could overlap/miss if a randomized NPC was invited to their house. 

- Fixed a bug where instead of the name "Hitomi Watanabe" in the diary on the quest page, Yuki's name could continue to appear. 

- Fixed a bug that could exit because the desired variable could not be initialized when communicating with a randomized NPC and editing a standardized school uniform. 

- Fixed a bug where when entering the perk selection menu, an exception could go beyond the level. 

- Fixed a bug where you could call/write SMS to the wrong RNPS on your phone. - Fixed a bug where the aphrodisiac was not displayed in the inventory. 

- Fixed a bug where if a randomized NPC at a party was given sleeping pills, caffeine or an aphrodisiac, these items were added to the inventory instead of decreasing.


Well, this is where our WN will end. They have been a bit short lately, but they are informative enough nonetheless. Version 929a has already been released for subscribers with the role of Best Friend, and 929b for Super Best Friend. Well, we remind you that the next update, 0.930, will release, as always, on the 27th. There will be no interim news between these dates, so... It remains only to wait!
