So, another week and a half has passed since the release of the new version of the game. It's time to talk about what has been done and prepared. And we assure you: among the innovations made, there is much that you, dear subscribers and those simply following the game, have been waiting for. However, first, let's summarize the results of the vote, which took place quite recently.
So... The development of the game for a girl won, which in these conditions implies, instead of reworking, the creation of new content specifically for this direction, as well as new content with randomized NPCs. Of course, in addition to this, there are people who want to see other developments, and they will be, but for the near future, the development vector has been set, and you can expect content specifically for the winning directions. Now... More details about what has been done.
So... Randomized NPCs. And here everything is quite simple - a dozen new hairstyles that you can choose in the editor, which will be generated for them. This is relevant only for the female RNPC, and you can see some of them below.
They will complement your gaming session nicely with a large number of diverse and individual characters, but… There were some other parts of the game that were lagging behind, right? So… A global rework of the emotional part in sex scenes with randomized NPCs. Didn't you think that the emotions of the RNPCs were too dry during intercourse with them? Everything has been changed and reworked. In addition, a smaller but pleasant innovation - makeup is now displayed in these scenes. Moreover, if the RNPC is a virgin, then in all scenes with penetration there will be blood. This particular feature was requested many times, so we added it… In order to see it, just have sex with a female RNPC who will have zero sexual experience. We cannot attach screenshots for obvious reasons, but for now... To other points.
So... During this update, a huge number of clothing sets were added, a lot of work was done that concerns specifically the content part of this direction. Well, and accordingly, you need something that saves all your developments on a permanent basis, right? So... Meet the character library.
You will be able to export and then import characters made by you/the script from there. Transfer them to each other, simplify interaction with these systems. Moreover, we are returning a function that was a long time ago and was cut for certain reasons... Now you can import not only the RNPC, but also the entire academy.
As you can see, this is the same system that was once, but now all the characters are a JSON file. They can still be transferred between each other, used, exported. In principle, it is a clear system. All your saved characters are in the game/character/json/ folder.
In the nearest future, this system will be supplemented with export and import of your entire library to our servers, something like the existing cloud saves for our Patreon subscribers. This system will work in a similar way. Your data will not be deleted and will be present on our servers until you decide to delete it, and import your favorite NPCs at any time, on any version, as well as with the ability to save the progress of relations with them. Without this function, any deletion of the game and its files will lead to the loss of exported RNPCs, since they are in the game files and there is simply no other way, however, they can be “dragged” manually, transferred between each other and do whatever you want with them.
Secondly, some system updates to simplify interaction with the game. Obviously, in addition to some obvious buttons with the ability to “export” a character in the conditional menu for interacting with them...
We have added the same to the biography menu so that you can export a character from anywhere on the map, and you can still access it through the "acquaintances" menu in the diary, where a new button has already been added. The button for searching for a randomized NPC.
In general, a lot has been done regarding "small but pleasant" convenience. However, you can read more about the content of this kind below, so as not to drag out the weekly news too much.
Thirdly, bug fixes and code refactoring. Well, here, as always, we will get by with a list of changes:
New content:
A new possible tab has been added that can be opened via the RNPC editor - import and export of randomized NPCs. This is a fairly large game system, with which you can save game characters generated from a game session / created by you, to the character library, and then import them into any other session after the created one. A lot of work has been done specifically for this system on game directories, improving their performance and many other things. In addition, a separate interface was made in the form of cards of randomized NPCs with their appearance and minimal information about them to simplify interaction with this interface. All imported characters are a JSON file that can be transferred to other players / to your other devices and, in principle, these files are quite simple in terms of their use and editing.
A new tab with an interface for improving interaction with the game has been added to the game - import and export of academies. In addition, all characters from there can also be exported to the character library. It is available in the same character library, on a new tab. (When updating the game, exported and imported data is not transferred to the new version. You can do it manually, all data is located in the game/character/json path).
A dozen new hairstyles have been added, which are displayed in the RNPC editor, and are also generated on them during the creation of a new game session.
A significant and huge amount of work has been done on the emotional part during sex scenes with randomized female NPCs: now they are more elaborate, change much more often, are improved, and in general work much better for the entire atmosphere of the game and its "work" on the player.
Blood has been added to all 18+ character scenes with randomized NPCs, where there is penetration, if the female RNPC was a virgin at that time.
New system events have been added to the game, as well as events with randomized NPCs, which will increase the possible pool and their variety, falling out during the gameplay.
A new button has been added to the game in the character information field interface - "Biography". With it, you can open more detailed information about the character, from his influence statistics to information about whether he smokes or not.
A new button has been added to the "Acquaintances" category in the diary interface, which allows you to search for RNPC by quickly clicking on it. This button is literally a repeat of the button from the location interface "Find a character", but there you do not need to enter the ID or the name of the character - the game will find him itself.
Now changing the color of the name of the RNPC also works on the interface of the phone, phone book, biography menu and a certain information field for a better understanding of who is who and to simplify interaction with the game interfaces.
When fighting with randomized male NPCs, a more suitable emotion and hand position were selected, more aimed at fighting, and not at bewilderment, as before.
A minor refactoring of the "Acquaintances" tab from the diary was carried out. Now this module is more dynamic, the interface adapts to the number of buttons and in general it has become more pleasant to use.
The script associated with entering the game after purchasing a Patreon subscription has been completely redesigned. If earlier mail and user data could be added for too long, the server could work incorrectly and in general the user could wait too long after purchasing the game, now this problem has been solved, and this system has begun to work completely stably, unlike what it was before.
The "Body conjuncture" setting in the RNPC editor has been moved to the "Body settings" category, on the next page. In addition, it is now available to everyone, and not just to subscribers of the Best Friend level and above.
A huge number of systems and mechanics of the game, although small, were related between modules, were refactored. There should now be fewer errors associated with them, and the performance of some specific interfaces/systems and mechanics should be significantly better than before.
The function responsible for initializing the appearance of the RNPC was slightly improved, due to which it is now easier to interact with, it has more input data for this very simplification, and in general there are fewer problem areas that could cause exceptions or other problems.
Now, in the interaction of the 18+ character "Masturbate me" with a randomized female NPC, the makeup that is present on the NPC sprite is displayed.
Now, in the scene of the 18+ in the "Missionary" position with a randomized NPC, the makeup that is present on the NPC sprite is displayed.
Now, in the scene with a kiss with a randomized NPC, the makeup that is present on the NPC sprite is displayed.
The random NPC hug scene now displays the makeup that is present on the NPC sprite.
The random NPC breast groping scene now displays the makeup that is present on the NPC sprite.
The "Makeup" tab has been moved to the "Face Settings" category in the female NPC editor.
A button for exporting a character to the character library has been added to the interaction with a random NPC menu.
A new button has been added to the biography menu - export, with which you can export an NPC to the character library.
A minor refactoring of the systems responsible for initializing the NPC appearance has been carried out, due to which the code itself has become less loaded, more efficient and easier to understand.
Now randomized NPCs visit the "Shopping Center" location much more often than before, as it was originally supposed to be. The frequency of visiting this location has been increased fourfold.
Improved AI of the aggressive type: now, if the RNPC fight among themselves, extort money and do other things, the success of this action depends primarily on their courage, because of which the downtrodden characters will no longer fight back, and if they do, their character trait will simply change.
The 18+ character interaction "Give me a blowjob" with a randomized female NPC now displays the makeup that is present on the NPC sprite.
The 18+ scene in the "69" position with a randomized NPC now displays the makeup that is present on the NPC sprite.
The 18+ scene in the "Doggystyle" position with a randomized NPC now displays the makeup that is present on the NPC sprite.
The 18+ scene in the "Side" position with a randomized NPC now displays the makeup that is present on the NPC sprite.
The 18+ scene in the "Rider" position with a randomized NPC now displays the makeup that is present on the NPC sprite.
The randomization system for randomized type story characters has been greatly improved, as well as the randomization of your character. All this was done for one type, and not through different systems, as before, which reduces the number of errors and shortcomings in all these systems to zero, and also generally improves the overall readability of the code.
Now clothes are not repainted in the color of the RNPC skin, as before, but remain as they should be.
Fixed Bugs:
Fixed a bug due to which a tattoo could spawn on a female RNPC that did not exist for this gender, thereby causing a script error during its initialization.
Fixed a bug due to which the female RNPC editor, when editing a swimsuit for the RNPC, could throw an exception that would not allow you to continue playing and reset all settings made in this interface.
Fixed a bug due to which the female RNPC editor, when editing underwear, a bra for the RNPC, could throw an exception that would not allow you to continue playing and reset all settings made in this interface.
Fixed a bug due to which in some very rare outfits of clothing for female RNPC, their sleeves and the clothing itself could differ in color.
Fixed a bug due to which the game could throw exceptions when trying to get a part-time job at a grocery store/change your hairstyle at a barbershop due to the lack of data on the necessary characters.
Fixed a bug due to which randomization of characters/change of gender in the RNPC editor/in the editor of your character reset the gender ratio in the game session, which could lead to undesirable consequences when generating a game session/regenerating it already in the game session itself.
Fixed a bug due to which when generating some specific story characters the gender ratio in the game session could be reset.
Fixed a bug due to which an exception could occur when trying to open the menu for changing standardized clothing on randomized female NPCs.
Fixed a bug due to which when customizing the bra and panties of randomized female NPCs the outerwear on the sprite was not hidden, which interfered with the general customization of this case.
Fixed a bug due to which changing the standardized uniform in the academy did not change the internal data of the RNPC, which could cause certain problems with this.
Fixed a bug due to which changing the clothes of the RNPC in the interface for changing the standardized uniform in the academy did not actually change anything in the sprite, and the clothes on it remained the same as they were.
Fixed a bug due to which in the 18+ character scene of the "69" pose, the glasses on the female RNPC were displayed on top of it, thereby creating a graphical bug.
Fixed a bug due to which the abs shape indicator in the RNPC editor could go below zero or equal to zero in some very rare cases.
Fixed a bug due to which changing the makeup of randomized NPCs applied this same makeup to all RNPC in the editor and its list.
Fixed a bug due to which some specific RNPC settings in the editor could be reset when hovering over a button / when saving changes.
Fixed a bug due to which the RNPC ID was reset when the script was restarted, which could cause exceptions/change the RNPC in the dialog and there could be other problems associated with this.
Fixed a bug due to which the female RNPC editor, when editing a swimsuit for the RNPC, could throw an exception that would not allow you to continue playing and reset all settings made in this interface.

Fixed a bug due to which changing the clothes of the RNPС in the interface for changing the standardized uniform in the academy did not actually change anything in the sprite, and the clothes on it remained the same as they were.
Fixed a bug due to which in the 18+ character scene of the "69" pose, the glasses on the female RNPC were displayed on top of it, thereby creating a graphical bug.

Fixed a bug due to which the RNPC ID was reset when the script was restarted, which could cause exceptions/change the RNPC in the dialog and there could be other problems associated with this.
Fixed a bug due to which the sleeves of clothes could be shown on a randomized NPC when he has modified outerwear, from his old clothes that come with his set. Now everything should be displayed as it should: in the case of wearing outerwear from some set, the game will try to find it, and if it does not find it, it will completely remove the sleeves.
Fixed a bug due to which the game could throw an exception during an attempt to initialize the color of the upper and / or lower part of the clothes, no matter what.
Fixed a bug due to which the color of the lower / upper part of the clothes could work incorrectly, ignoring this setting in the game session itself and / or recoloring only the sleeves of the female RNPC. Also fixed a bug when the game puts skin color above the color of clothes, recoloring this very clothes in rare moments in the skin color itself instead of recoloring it in the desired color for the clothes.
Fixed a bug where randomized female NPCs could have accessories that couldn't be removed in the RNPC editor.
Fixed a bug where the "Accessory Customization 2" tab would be completely empty and only have a blank space when editing a female RNPC.
Fixed a bug where the variable change function for certain interfaces could be overwritten when starting a game session, causing exceptions and generally preventing the game session progress from being saved at some point.
Fixed a bug where some persistent game settings such as font, volume, and others could reset after a certain amount of time in a game session.
Fixed a bug where the game would throw an exception after reloading a game script with a huge chance of doing so.
Fixed a bug where the game could throw an exception after trying to save.
Fixed a bug due to which the menu in the RNPC editor had too many settings, due to which these very buttons could go beyond the interface.
Fixed a bug due to which all female RNPC clothes could be black or colorless, discolored due to certain problems in the color calculation module of such.
Fixed a bug due to which in a game session some RNPC could be generated incorrectly, causing exceptions and some other problems. Although this happened rarely, it still happened at least sometimes.
Fixed a flaw due to which the RNPC that sells x-ray glasses to your character could remain on the location with access to communication with him, which was not originally intended.
Now opening any interface within interactions with locations closes the phone interface, which fixes a bug with incorrectly working animations due to the constantly updating screen.
Fixed a bug due to which the sleeves of some clothes could be completely black, despite the original color or its absence in real clothes.
Fixed a bug due to which the contact of randomized story NPCs (including the NPC who gives your character x-ray glasses) could disappear from the contact list after restarting the game/loading a save or simply after some in-game time.
Fixed a bug due to which the inventory interface could freeze and not open in one of the game sessions. This happened rarely, but if it did, the player had no way to fix it.
Fixed a bug due to which, when the hands of a randomized male NPC were in the fifth position, his palm could fall through the texture of the lower part of the clothes, creating a graphical bug.
Fixed a bug due to which the subposition of the hands was knocked down to the first position for randomized male NPCs, due to which the hands themselves were in a subposition, and clothes and some accessories could take the standard position of the hands.
Fixed a bug due to which the "Take off the top" and "Take off the bottom" buttons did not work in the interface for changing the standardized uniform of the academy for female RNPCs in the clothing and underwear tabs. Despite clicking on them, nothing happened.
Fixed a bug due to which the emotions in the RNPC photo card in the occult club management interface, in the phone interface and in some other places could constantly change and be different. Now they are tied to the RNPC character trait, as well as in the activity menu with them.
Fixed a bug due to which a randomized NPC could smoke, while having a character trait that did not allow him to do so. Now if the RNPСdoes not smoke, he will not stand with a cigarette and prove the opposite to your character.
Fixed a bug due to which the RNPC with an accessory that was supposed to hide hair did not do this due to certain errors in the script and ignored these requirements.
Fixed a bug due to which undressing underwear and outerwear did not work correctly, due to which even in case of winning in cards, the RNPC did not undress as your character wanted. (Only relevant for the card game interface)
Fixed a bug due to which saving data about the RNPC when generating one could incorrectly work with fatigue data, which at the beginning of a game session could generally have a rather bad effect on the gameplay and communication with them.
Fixed a bug due to which when RNPC fought with each other, they did not increase their experience in fights, which in the end could look not very logical.
Fixed a bug due to which the grocery store was considered a sublocation of city locations, which is currently incorrect and in the patch.
Fixed a bug where if your character was being a voyeur, the relationship would not change correctly.
Fixed a bug where some 18+ character scenes with randomized female NPCs could have issues with their emotions not changing properly.
Fixed a bug where the movements in the 18+ character scene of the "Doggy Style" position on your character's part would work completely incorrectly, causing them to just stand there and do nothing.
Fixed a bug where the cum on a randomized female NPC during a blowjob from her would not follow her as she moved, but would remain in the air no matter what.
Fixed a bug where the skirt length of a randomized female NPC in the RNPC editor interface could change without attempting to change the dirty level, and no longer take the dirty level of that NPC into account.
Fixed a bug where re-randomizing an NPC in the RNPC editor could completely ignore its gender and change it, even though it should not have.
As you can see, a lot of work has been done in terms of features that make life easier for the player. In principle, you will be able to try all of this already in version 0.956b, while others will just have to wait for the update, which will be released soon - on August 27.

Btw, are you sure, that didn't download anything from pirate sites and puts it in folder? It can be reason your error in save/load menu.
KaitoSi
Hm... We will release new BugFix today for this version. Thanks for the report about bugs. Except it, if you have problems, try clear persistent file in settings of game.
Eric L Haugen
Whatever the case with the 0.956 on the mega upload is, it's almost literally unplayable for me. Can't save, can hardly successfully create a character... it was the latest bugfix version.
Alexander Freeman
Glad to hear about the H-scene updates!
