Weekly News #126

So, friends, it's time to release new weekly news. A week and a half has passed since the last update was released, which means it’s also time to sum up the voting results. Naturally, we have already gradually begun to move in the direction you set for us, so you can see some of the points added to the game a little lower, in what has been done. Well, now... Let's get down to more detail about what was actually done.

First, randomized NPCs. There were a lot of small changes here, which would seem insignificant, however, their share is still quite large and large - we have improved everything regarding the randomized futanari NPCs. Now, if the randomized NPC is a futanari, he will appear as such in all scenes. Before this innovation, it was displayed in only one - missionary, and in general we have about 17 scenes, so the amount of work was significant. In addition, we have made a new randomized NPC editor: it contains some animations, some new settings and other things that can improve your gaming experience. You can see it just below:

In addition, there are many more small changes for randomized NPCs, which you can read about below in the list of changes, but now... Now we will move on to some other points.

Secondly, optimization. Normally there would have been a plot point here, but that will be the next item. What have we done with optimization? We rewrote about 30 percent of the fundamental code in order to improve performance, removed a lot of rudimentary code, improved the situation with memory loss during gameplay, and also did a lot more so that, firstly, the game crashes less, and secondly, freezes less after fast forwarding time/communicating with randomized NPCs, and in some places it even worked more logically. However, you can read more about all the reworkings of existing modules below...

Thirdly, the plot. Yes, we haven’t forgotten about him: new story events with Suzuki Matsui are proof of this. We continued her storyline. In addition, a story thread is currently being written that concerns the story character Yuki Oota. Well, and also, accordingly, some continuations of story branches with randomized NPCs, as well as just events.

Fourth, code refactoring and bug fixes. Well, here, as always, we’ll get by with the list of changes relevant for version 0.947b.

New content:

- The storyline with Suzuki Matsui was continued: new events were added, one new bad ending was added, and in general some details were made to explain her motivation and behavior.

- Added a new randomized NPC editor based on the prototype of your character creation interface. Absolutely all the features of the old editor were transferred to it. In addition, new ones have been added that improve the variability of creating this very character. The interface itself has minimal animation that does not hurt the eyes.

- The situation related to the overall performance of the game has been significantly improved, due to which there are much fewer “stutters”, “freezes” and other moments when rewinding time, entering the menu for interacting with randomized NPCs and other moments of this type than before.

- The situation with memory leaks in the game has been significantly improved: now there are much fewer problems associated with it. The game crashes much less when there is a lack of RAM, and has also generally become less demanding on the amount of RAM and its speed.

- Some conditions for dropping events with story NPCs have been changed, which is why, firstly, it is now easier to drop and more intuitive, and secondly, it works with fewer problems.

- Now in the masturbation scene, if the randomized NPC was set to be a futanari, he will now appear there as a futanari. New moments were also added there, such as the “ending” of the futanari, the movement of the futanari, as well as some other details that improve the overall look of the scene.

- Now in the scene that is displayed when entering the women's restroom and attempting to dialogue with a girl, if the randomized NPC as a futanari setting was chosen, he will now be displayed there as a futanari. New moments were also added there, such as the “ending” of the futanari, the movement of the futanari, as well as some other details that improve the overall look of the scene.

- Now in the side sex scene, if the randomized NPC was chosen to be a futanari, he will now appear there as a futanari. New moments were also added there, such as the “ending” of the futanari, the movement of the futanari, as well as some other details that improve the overall look of the scene.

- Now in the Cowgirl pose scene, if the randomized NPC was set to be a futanari, he will now appear there as a futanari. New moments were also added there, such as the “ending” of the futanari, the movement of the futanari, as well as some other details that improve the overall look of the scene.

- Now in the "69" pose scene, if the randomized NPC was set to be a futanari, he will now appear there as a futanari. New moments were also added there, such as the “ending” of the futanari, the movement of the futanari, as well as some other details that improve the overall look of the scene.

- The system for creating randomized futanari NPCs has been improved. Additionally, if the randomized NPC is a Futanari, it will now appear as normal in all scenes available in the game as it should.

- A significant refactoring of the fundamental module for moving randomized NPCs across locations has been carried out: now it works much better, faster, it is combined with some other modules and, in general, because of this there are much fewer problems with memory leaks and performance at certain points in the game and on certain devices.

- The module responsible for calculating in-game time has been optimized - the most massive and difficult module to calculate. At the moment, it loads the system half as much: the entire load is now distributed more evenly, which is why the game results in far fewer crashes and other problems related to game performance.

- The module responsible for distributing RNPC across locations has been optimized, which is why it has generally become faster, more understandable and more efficient. The module itself now produces much fewer errors than before.

- Some specific modules have been optimized, which previously were just a pile of older modules, which is why the game has become more performant and problems with memory leaks have become significantly less.

- A more rudimentary module was removed that regulated the vulgarity of randomized NPCs, which unnecessarily loaded the game, but is no longer relevant due to the creation of new modules that work more logically and put less strain on the system itself.

- The code responsible for the “smoking” activity was refactored and, in general, has the following role: firstly, there are more locations where RNPCs can smoke, and secondly, in undesirable locations (academy locations) they will stop smoking, but with a certain high chance, which depends on their level of courage.

- A significant refactoring of the systems responsible for switching systems between your character editor and the RNPC editor was carried out, because of which, firstly, there are much fewer miscalculations there, and secondly, this function itself began to work many times better and stopped generating rare exceptions .

- A significant refactoring of the systems responsible for determining and displaying the appearance of randomized NPCs has been carried out: firstly, it now works much faster, secondly, it is now more structured and understandable, thirdly, it has been divided into some other submodules in order to correctly distribute the load throughout the gaming session. Overall, it's been completely redesigned from the ground up, making it less cluttered and more intuitive.

- Now the submodule responsible for checking the correctness of the generation works only once after the generation itself, which will reduce the load on the system during the gameplay. In addition, the module itself now removes certain unnecessary internal data that the game did not use, which will reduce the game's RAM requirements.

- A minor refactoring was carried out on the generator of randomized NPCs and the appearance determiner module, due to which both, firstly, became more productive, and secondly, they began to produce fewer errors, incorrect calculations and other problems that had previously been generally encountered relevant for these two modules at once.

- Added new relationship presets in the randomized NPC editor after generating a game session: enemy and afraid. Accordingly, each name speaks for itself.

- The sprite of your character in the creation interface has been moved so that it “fits” a little better into this very interface

- Now the module responsible for increasing attributes for RNPC activity does not work when entering the menu for interacting with it, but after distributing this very activity.

- The maximum luck attribute for randomized NPCs has been increased to 420 units, and for cunning and authority to 220 units.

- The module for causing bruises/abrasions on RNPC after fights between them has been improved.

- Many modules that affect the game have been refactored, which will improve overall game performance and reduce memory leaks. In addition, the code itself now looks more structured at certain points.

- A minor refactoring of the code was carried out regarding saving changes in the editor of randomized NPCs: now the code is a little more understandable, faster and generally structured.

- A minor refactoring of the systems responsible for recognizing the username after entering the Patreon code was carried out: the system now works more adequately, does not work on an ongoing basis, but only once, after entering the Patreon code itself, which will reduce the load on the system during the game.

- The loading of the game was accelerated upon first launch, as well as on subsequent loads for a significant amount of time.

- The system responsible for the initial data initialization has been improved, which is why the load on the first launch is distributed more evenly when the game is first launched.

- A “Back” button was added to the old version of sex so that if something happens, the player does not end up in an endless loop with a certain type of scenes of the old type of sexual contact with randomized NPCs.

- A notification has been added about the success of saving data in cases where it was saved in the editor of randomized NPCs.

- Now, after entering any cheats into the appropriate console, they will be saved in it, and you will be able to use them in the future without unnecessary input.

- In the editor of randomized NPCs, now when editing attributes, not 1 point is added or subtracted, but 2, which will reduce the amount of time if these parameters are changed.

As you can see, we not only added new content, but also made a lot of changes towards the performance of the game and what does not concern bugs. Right now, from the code side, the game is much more stable than before, its architecture is less chaotic, and in general it all looks much more logical than before, which in general will give a certain pleasant feeling when playing. Right now we are finishing these weekly news, and also notifying you: the full version of the game will be released on November 27th. Naturally, there will be a lot more that has been done, especially in terms of plot and content, so for now we can just wait and see.
