Weekly News #114

Another week and a half has passed since the last update - the time for the release of a new issue of the weekly news. Naturally, during this time we did a lot of things, but the basis of our work was for this period - improving the stability of the game. We've gone through all the bug reports over the past year and highlighted what wasn't fixed, so this update includes fixes for old bugs as well. However, first things first. To start voting.

As you can see, the voting results this time are not much different from the previous one. Our main goal for these updates is to make more content with randomized NPCs, as well as fix bugs and shortcomings. Of course, not forgetting about other elements of the game. Well, now that we have dealt with this, we will proceed to what has already been done.

First, randomized NPCs. Of course, here is a new scene in the first place. It's not currently in the game, but by the next weekly news it will be there. Also, work is underway to increase the diversity of these very RNPCs, events with them and some other points related to this part of the game.

Secondly, events of a plot nature. We are also working on them, so you don't have to worry about it. From what has already been done, joke content events available in your character's room.

Thirdly, a new background for a new location. Here, perhaps, we’ll just get by with the background itself:

Fourth, code refactoring and bug fixes. Well, here, as always, we will get by with a list of changes:

New content:

— The event where Barneybald's Preachers sings now plays a song made specially for this event.

— Added new story events that are available to drop for the story character "God Barneybald". In order to open them, it is enough to give the preachers in your apartment the necessary amount of money.

— Added new events related to the story character Robert The Cockroach.

— Added text to 18+ scene with randomized male NPCs.

— Minor refactoring of the code that is responsible for interactions with randomized NPCs was carried out: existing formulas were slightly edited, the code itself was improved, and some new functions were made that improve the performance of this section of code.

— Minor refactoring of the code responsible for the modifications was carried out: some bugs and shortcomings of this system were fixed, the performance of some points was improved, and the situation with this system was slightly improved in general.

— A minor refactoring of the code responsible for the efficiency of the fight system was carried out: the code responsible for this system was improved, some bugs and shortcomings were fixed, and the miscalculation formulas were updated to the current game standards.

— A minor refactoring of the code was carried out, which concerns the system for determining the appearance of randomized NPCs: the look of the code itself has been improved, some bugs / shortcomings associated with this identifier have been fixed.

— Minor code refactoring was carried out, which is responsible for generating randomized NPCs: some bugs and flaws were fixed, rudimentary code sections were removed, and in general, work was carried out on the appearance of the code itself.

— A new background has been added to the game - the background of the church. This is currently available only in some in-game events.

— Now, if your character finds a randomized NPC using the Find Character feature in an abandoned factory, he will automatically open this location on the map.

— The function of taking photos/using the album was cut from the game for a while.

— A new tab has been added to the biography menu of randomized NPCs - skills. It shows cooking skills, gambler, experience in fights and other indicators of randomized NPCs.

— Dialogues that improve your character's skills now require that your character have that skill lower than the randomized NPC they're talking to.

— A new tattoo has been added for female randomized NPCs - Barneybald's tattoo. It can be done in the randomized NPC editor.

— The conditions for the completion/drop of some events with the story character Ayano Yoshida have been edited: there should now be much fewer errors associated with this moment of the game, as well as with the passage of the story of Ayano Yoshida.

— Minor refactoring of systems related to tattoos/scars in randomized NPCs was carried out: datasets were edited, methods for obtaining this data, and the system for recognizing these elements was slightly revised in general, which will slightly improve the situation associated with exceptions due to this system.

Fixed bugs:

— Fixed some typos in the translation of the game into Russian, and also fixed some moments when the text / translation was not displayed in the English version of the game.

As you can see, during this period, the work was actually done mostly on the stability of the game, however, we also tried to make some new content. However, the main innovations in this regard will be carried out by the next news release, so we have what we have. Now it remains to wait for these same weekly news to come out - June 15th.
