Weekly News #96

So, a week and a half has passed. It's time for the release of new weekly news dedicated to the development of the game and, to be honest, during this time we have done quite a lot, especially regarding the technical part of the game. A huge amount of effort was spent on correcting existing errors, bugs and flaws. However, about everything in order. Initially - voting.

As you can see, the development of randomized NPCs has gone far ahead in vote. Already after them there is a plot and some other voting points. Naturally, we will follow a given vector, as we originally said about it, and not break away from it in a given update. Well, already here we can start a more detailed narration of what was done.

First, randomized NPCs. Naturally, they had many nice fixes for flaws and bugs. In addition, we have refined the rider pose scene, and now it considers hairstyles, eye colors and many other individual characteristics of randomized NPCs. New emotions were also made for this scene, the animation was improved and, theoretically, the scene was completely redesigned. Currently, it is more experimental scene because of its appearance, but in general, this does not prevent it from being completed at the initial stages. Further - more. Of course, we are preparing new scenes, and one of them is a scene for the interaction of "touch the chest" with a randomized NPCs. It is still being drawn, but the initial sketches can be seen now:

This update will again develop randomized NPCs in breadth: the number of scenes will increase, but future updates will refine these scenes to full-fledged and ready-made versions. In addition, we will attract more artists to create a diverse scene, to draw new sets of clothes, and in general, the development of randomized NPCs will be able to go more in depth due to increased budgets and the possibility of hiring new workers. In the upcoming updates, you, as players, will be waiting for a huge number of pleasures associated with this part of the game.

Secondly, the plot. Due to some workload during this period of time, we simply did not have time to insert all the plot events, however, be sure that we continue to work on them. By the next interval, the end of which is scheduled for September 15, we will insert new story events. However, even considering the fact that everything is written on paper, and not on the game, there is still content for the plot: for example, some edits were made to the plot events with Yuki Oota. Because of them, the events themselves had a lot more choices and opportunities to play the role of their character. We will continue to move in this direction along with the addition of new stories.

Thirdly, the technical part. Initially, the transition to Python 3.9 was quite difficult, but in general, most of the errors associated with the transition were fixed. Some game engine modules have been updated, which will fix a lot of problems related to Linux and MAC platforms. Android devices are also not forgotten. In addition, some functions have been added, with which you can avoid unnecessary clicks. For example, this:

Fourth, the backgrounds. Currently, one background has been made for the game - the background for the journalism club. However, already 95 percent of all the backgrounds of the locations have been replaced and made by us, from which we can say that there are some successes here. Then there will be the same replacement of intermediate locations, as well as the introduction of new locations and sub-locations:

Fifth, fixed bugs. And already here we can finally show a list of what has been done:

New content:  

— Completed the 18+ scene with randomized NPCs - cowgirl pose. Now it considers the RNPCs hairstyle, hair color, eyes and many other individual faces of your character's partner. In addition, the scene has a certain final appearance: instead of the same types of movements, the speed of animations, emotions, selections, as well as some other details in the scene are now changing, and at the end, as expected, there is a climax, which is now also fully displayed at the end.  

— Some events with Yuki Oota have been changed and redesigned to meet current standards: now you can be role-playing the character of your character thanks to numerous choices. If before that, you didn't like his character, spelled out at the very beginning, then now you can safely move away from him and role-playing something else. Currently, the structure of events with her is similar in terms of elections to the structure of the initial events with Ayano Yoshida.  

— Added new mini-events to some 18+ scenes with randomized NPCs. In addition, the appearance of the scene itself has been modified in some places, as well as the chances of premature ejaculation/some other mechanics.   

— Now, in fights with randomized female NPCs, your character will be able to cut their clothes if he uses a kitchen knife or a butterfly knife against them.   

— Now, to walk without clothes or in underwear, your character needs to have an "Exhibitionist" perk. It can be selected in the perks' menu per level.   

— Now, the amount of maximum experience needed to level up is also affected by the cunning attribute. The more of it, the less experience you will have to level up.  

— Adjusted the operation of the generator and test functions: now, instead of working strictly before clicking on randomized NPCs, the test functions will also work after generation, which will reduce the load during the game session, improving the performance of the game, and also fix some generation errors, if any.

— Now, to use the cowgirl pose with a randomized NPC, she must have more than 64 units of vulgarity.  

— More than half of the available perks that can be selected at the beginning of the game have been redesigned: debuffs have been added to some, buffs to some. In general, their appearance is designed to be useful for different styles of play, as well as to be harmful for opposite styles of play.  

— The luck attribute pumping system has been changed: now it is more difficult to pump it. Firstly, it had the maximum values, and secondly, to improve it, a certain chance was established, becoming less and less with large values of this attribute.  

— Reduced the chance of leveling an attribute while reading a book in the library.  

— In some moments, the card game with randomized NPCs has been redesigned: a minimum/maximum bet has been added, some rules of the game have been changed, and the number of relationships given for this interaction has been redesigned.   

— Improved artificial intelligence in fights for randomized NPCs: now they pick up much better tactics against your character. In addition, the body parts protection formula has been redesigned to a more accurate version.   

— The background of the "Journalism Club" location has been completely redrawn and redesigned.   

— Changed the schedule of changing backgrounds in the location "Student Council". Now it is the same as it is used throughout the academy, and it also now uses a night background.   

— Now you can go to classes at the academy and to work at the grocery store with a single button in the activity menu: they appear when there is activity, as well as when work has not been done in a day at the grocery store. They transfer your character immediately into activity.  

— Cut out the ability to set an alarm in the player's room using the interface interaction and the "Done" button. The button in the activity menu for setting the alarm is still working.   

— The save/download scrollbar has been moved to another corner of the interface for android devices.   

— Some modules of the game engine have been updated, which resolves many problems with it, such as, for example, an exception that came out when there was no sound card on the device. In addition, the situation with memory leakage after a long gaming session was slightly improved.   

— Now, if your character has not captured a video on the plot with Meiko Tsukasa, it will not be possible to view it, regardless of how far the plot was passed.   

— Now the RNPC, with whom your character communicates and interacts, cannot change their clothes at the end of the week.  

Fixed bugs:  

— Fixed a bug where premature ejaculation in the scene was not considered ejaculation in general, which is why the sex scene in the missionary and doggy style pose could go on indefinitely.   

— Fixed a bug that made it impossible to play cards against AI on the player's computer in his room.   

— Fixed a bug where during a card game against AI, it was possible to exit, and this exit was thrown into the interaction menu with randomized NPCs.   

— Fixed a bug in which the chance of premature ejaculation in an 18+ scene with RNPСs was too high, regardless of the indicator of sexual experience.

— Fixed a bug where after a fight with the head of hooligans at an event, your character's could be transferred to an event with a tournament in an abandoned factory.  

— Fixed a bug where in an event with a vocal club, during one of the elections, the plot could not go further, which is why the same event could be repeated many times.  

— Fixed a bug where a new branch with a vocal club could be passed, even if an option was selected with an independent newspaper in which your character is for it.  

— Fixed a bug that caused the desired CG not to be shown in the last event with a secret fan, but instead there was an empty background.  

— Fixed a bug in which Hitomi Watanabe could be displayed as the head of the student council in the diary with quests.  

— Fixed a bug in which when passing the branch of the journalism club for an independent newspaper, a whole small branch of events was skipped, jumping immediately to the management of the club. In addition, the diary has also been updated for lost events: now it displays all the necessary events without any problems.  

— Fixed a bug where an exception was thrown during a rider pose with randomized NPCs.

— Fixed a bug in which the "Show Yourself Naked" interaction only worked if the NPCs loved your character less than 300 units.   

— Fixed a bug due to which the conjuncture of the body could be made greater than 1.1 and less than 0.9. In addition, now the value of the conjuncture in the editor of randomized NPCs is displayed normally and does not go beyond the fields.

— Fixed a bug that caused hair replacement for male randomized NPCs to not work the first time. Had to change my hairstyle twice to make it work.

Naturally, all this would be impossible without you: those who support us financially and morally. That is why we thank everyone who believes in us and supports us! Thank you for that!
