Weekly News #93


Another week and a half of our painstaking development has passed, which means that it's time for a new news release, as well as summing up some intermediate results of the development of the 932 version. Perhaps, as always, let us start in order.

First, randomized NPCs. Currently, we are actively replenishing the content base of this particular part of the game. The CG kissing scene has almost been completed, a new 18+ scene is being done and will soon be ready, the progress of which can be seen in the game's discord channel, in the news channel. In addition, many new events have been added; some changes have been made to the part of the game that is responsible for the relationship with these NPCs. More details about everything can be read a little lower in the list of changes, and now we will move on to other points, of course, attaching a screenshot of one of the CG.

Secondly, the appearance of your own character. We have already announced that it will be possible to create it in the past WN, but now we have supplemented this system. Presently, it will be able to change clothes right during the game session using the new interface, which can be seen below:

Thirdly, the plot. Due to some circumstances, we did not have time to insert it into the 931b version, but new events were written for it. For the romantic branch with Meiko. They continue her story further, gradually developing the relationship between your character and this girl. By update 932, as expected, this will be inserted into the game and ready.

Fourth, backgrounds. Here, perhaps, we will just leave what was drawn during this period in the form of screenshots:

Fifth, system changes. Some systems have undergone complete changes, like the grading system. Especially for her, even a new storyline was made, in which you can be expelled for too bad grades. Of course, this can be completely avoided and tips will even be given in the events themselves. Exceptions are easy to avoid, especially when going through storylines. In more detail about each change in the systems, you can read, again, just below...

Sixth, bug fixes. And... Here already there will be a list of changes, as always:

New content:

- Changed the flow of some story quests that involve Ayano Yoshida, Yuki Oota, and Meiko Tsukasa.

- Now the kissing scene is made as a separate screen, and not a regular PNG file, which is why it now considers all the hairstyles and hair colors on the randomized NPC that your character kisses. In addition, hairstyles and hair colors began to be considered also for your character, which you created at the very beginning of the game.

- A new icon has been added to the character control screen that redirects to your character's outfit change menu. In it, you can also go to the diary, to the leveling menu, achievements and other useful pages needed to understand the game progress.

- Randomized NPCs with high sociability will now try to get to know your character if they do not know him. A new full-fledged event with six choices has been made for this system, where you can treat the RNPC in different ways, ranging from friendliness to arrogance.

- Changed the success system for romantic and vulgar interactions from the Randomized NPC Interactions menu so that each vulgar and romantic action now has its own RNPC susceptibility to romance and vulgarity requirements. If these indicators are not enough, then the action will be unsuccessful, the player will receive hints on how to increase the necessary statistics of influence, and with some chance, if the RNPS sees interest in himself from your character, he will increase the necessary statistics for the success of the action.

- Now randomized NPCs of an aggressive nature, if they are crazy or love to fight, may try to fight you if your character has a high level of combat experience. In addition, those whose character is actively bullying and intimidating can also fight with your character if he has a high level of courage.

- Half a dozen new books have been added to the city and school libraries, with which you can develop your character and his skills: sexual skills, carding, combat and technical. Each of them gives a different amount of experience points, requires a different amount of energy and takes a different amount of time to master them.

- Now, if a randomized NPC has too low a level of depravity, he can refuse your character interactions that include 18+ scenes. In other words, different sexual positions now have different requirements for depravity, except for one - missionary. It is available anytime and under any circumstances..

- Some game files have been optimized, which is why the weight of the game itself has decreased by 20 percent, excluding the added new scenes with their new files.

- Any interactions your character makes are now divided into three categories: socially significant, aggressive, and neutral. For socially significant actions, your character's grades increase, which already affect the scholarship, and for aggressive ones, on the contrary, they decrease. However, not all of them may change these very estimates if there are no randomized NPCs at the location during their execution.

- A new perk has been added to the perk purchase per level menu - "Professional Hooligan". It makes it much easier to play the bully, while not losing so much in academic performance because of this.

- Added a new location interaction to the pool location - swim in the pool. It is unlocked by having your character follow the romance path with Meiko Tsukasa. Each use greatly improves all physical attributes.

- Now for victories in fights a little experience is given to your character.

- A new storyline has been added that is responsible for excluding your character in case of bad grades: initially he will be called for a warning, but if his grades continue to go down, your character may well be expelled, and it will be the end of the game. Of course, the storyline itself will describe how and what to do with the aggravated school situation. Plus, there are many ways to get out of it..

- Now your character can be bullied by randomized NPCs of a delinquent nature, if they see that your character is weaker than they are, you will have low relations, and many other factors affect this.

- Now randomized NPCs with whom you have a strained relationship can talk bad about you behind your characters back and spread bad rumors about him, which will have a bad effect on relations with other RNPCs.

- Location interactions in the "Residence" location have been sorted by need, with sleep and computer use ahead of all interactions, and everything else that is interactive or used once per game, like the same alarm clock, placed at the very bottom of the scrollable list.

- The background of the "Pool" and "Class" locations has been changed.

- Added tooltips when clicking on blocked interactions with Ayano Yoshida telling how to open these interactions.

- Activity menu now opens with randomized NPCs even if they are idle.

- Now, if someone lives with you, he will constantly clean, keeping your apartment clean.

- Added a new amulet for purchase - "Amulet of Permanence". By purchasing it, your character will receive one experience point every hour.

- A new cheat has been added to the cheat menu: increase academic performance.

- Added a new location interaction to the mall - rest. With it, your character can restore some of his energy.

- The speech synthesizer was cut due to frequent complaints about it.

- Added a new 18+ content event for randomized NPCs that have the "Stupid" trait.

- Now, if a randomized NPC loses in a fight, they have a decrease in the influence statistics "Courage" and "Criminality".

Fixes bugs:

- Fixed many problems regarding manual entry/auto entry into the game. Now everything works much more stable, faster and better.

- Fixed issues where the Randomized NPC editor might not count the appearance change if the edit was a male RNPC.

- Fixed a bug where there was no "Pray at the Altar" button in the location interactions menu.

- Fixed a bug where in the diary, in square brackets, the wrong numerical value of your character's academic grades was shown.

- Fixed a bug where the Genius Amulet in the Temple would also act as a Relationship Amulet.

- Fixed a bug where romantic interactions with randomized NPCs were incorrectly numbered in to interact with them menu.

- Fixed a bug due to which an exception could be thrown in the middle of a game session.

- Fixed a bug where character academic grades were calculated incorrectly.

As you can see, quite a lot has been done, especially for the content part with randomized NPCs. They now show more initiative in communication, their unique traits affect interactions, and a little more interactive detail has been added that affects your character. Soon, maybe even in this update, we will finish the romance branch with Meiko Tsukasa, and add even more content to the game. Even more scenes and variety. Now it remains to wait until July 27, exactly then the new update will be released. Well, until then, you can follow the development in the game's discord channel, in the news channel: screenshots of developments, developments and much more are constantly posted there.

Will appearance traits be accounted for in character creation (like scars, overweight, looks like a girl- etc.) ?

In the near future yes
