Weekly News #122


So, another week and a half has passed since the release of the new version of the game. Time to sum up the voting results, talk about what has been done, and also generally talk about what will be done in general for version 0.946, in addition to what we have already talked about. For starters, voting.



As you can see, the clear winner here was the improvement of sexual systems with randomized NPCs: their refinement, the creation of new scenes and many other points. This week we have prepared some content for this, and it will already be inserted into the game by the release of update 0.946: new scenes, improvements to existing scenes, major improvements to existing scenes. Naturally, by 0.946 there will be quite a lot of “things” that will improve the overall condition of the existing new sex scene. So now that we've got that out of the way, it's time to move on to what's already been done.


First, randomized NPCs. Here we can divide the innovations: there are innovations concerning sexual scenes, there are innovations concerning general systems of interactions with them. Let's start with common interactions: conversations. They have been improved. When selecting interaction dialogues, the game now displays more than a dozen different dialogue options. At the moment, this is relevant for dialogue on romantic and everyday topics, but they do a good job of diversifying the very concept of “clicking.”



Sex system - there are many small innovations here, but the most important thing is that a new interaction is available from the sex interface - masturbation. At the moment, there are a dozen different scenes available for selection from there, and each of them is varied and different from the previous one.



Secondly, the interface. We have changed the interface for creating your character: now it is more beautiful, functional and convenient. It has animations, a little more tooltips and customization options, and is a little less busy than what came before. For now, the choice between the old and new interface will remain for a short time, so you can see the difference between them.



Thirdly, game settings and gameplay. Firstly, all game settings have become “permanent variables”, which is why they will not be reset after starting a new game session, and secondly, new settings have been added, created specifically to save the player from potential inconveniences. In addition, those settings that could break the game when changed from the main menu were hidden and work was done to stabilize these aspects of the game.


Fourth, bug fixes and refactorings. Here, as always, we will make do with a full list of changes for version 0.945b:




New content:

- The interface of your character editor has been completely modified: it has become much more detailed, began to fit the general style of the game interface, is much more convenient, and also has animations that make this interface much more lively than the example that was previously in the game.

- A new possible feature has been added to the main character editor - depravity. It can be changed directly in the editor, and its value directly affects the clothing of your character, if she is a girl.

- A new scene has been added to the new sex scene interface - a masturbation scene for your character/randomized NPC. With its own animations and in-game systems.

- For randomized NPCs, more than a dozen new possible dialogue developments have been added to the “Everyday Topics”, as well as to the “Romantic Themes”, which come out depending on the randomness and nature of the individual RNPC.

- Performance settings in the settings menu are now permanent variables that are not reset after each new gaming session.

- A new accessible feature has been added to the game settings menu - quick connection. Using it, you can avoid some individual and rare exceptions when connecting to a Patreon subscriber’s account.

- Now the performance setting “Adjust the number of active RNPCs” is available only after the start of the game session, since before it it simply did not work and there was simply no need for it.

- A significant refactoring of the systems responsible for the relationship stages system has been carried out: there are much fewer errors and shortcomings in it, the mistakes themselves have been improved and made more acceptable, and now they affect more things in relations with the RNPC.

- The systems responsible for the appearance of the RNPC were refactored. Now there are much fewer errors found there than there were before. In addition, the screen itself began to work many times faster than before.

- The system for calculating the orientation of randomized NPCs during communication with them has been improved.

- A significant refactoring of the randomized NPC editor was carried out: certain bugs and shortcomings associated with it were fixed. Including those that caused an exception to be thrown after the start of the gaming session with some chance of that happening, albeit a very small one. Some rudimentary things were removed, bugs with the generation of certain things were fixed, and a lot of other things, which is why it became more stable than it was before.

- There has been a significant refactoring of the code that relates to determining the appearance of randomized NPCs. Most of the bugs associated with this have been fixed, many definitions have been improved, old functions that do not affect anything else have been removed, and new ones have been added to improve and speed up the performance of this module.

- The beach marker has been moved a little lower to make it clear that the map can be moved.

- The martial arts hall was moved a little to the right on the map so that when hovering over it, the location icon would not overlap other markers.

- Now you can change the game language only in the main game menu to avoid possible exceptions after switching it.

- A minor refactoring of the code responsible for logging into your subscriber account was carried out - the first launch is faster and with much fewer errors.

- Now all the settings for blood, tattoos and NTR content in the corresponding context menu are permanent variables that are not reset when you restart the game.

Fixed bugs:

- The system for determining the appearance of RNPCs has been improved, which is why there should be several times fewer errors associated with this than there were before.

As you can see, we have devoted a sufficient amount of effort here to improve the stability of the game. Of course, we will continue to do this in the future, but until the release of update 0.946, we will still pay more attention to creating new content in accordance with the chosen development vector of Patreon subscribers. Therefore, dear friends, expect a significant improvement in the game in terms of “content”.
