So, friends, another week and a half has passed since the last news from us. During this time, we have undoubtedly done quite a lot of work, done many different things, including both content updates and more systemic ones, but first of all... The voting results. Without further ado - a screenshot of the results.
Well, now that you understand what development vector the game will have by the release of update 949, let’s get down to what has already been done. We are sure you will like it.
So first, randomized NPCs. A new scene that has already been added to the game. You can watch it on our Twitter, since the platforms on which we publish news simply do not accept this kind of content, but in general - a complete redrawing of the 18+ scene with randomized NPCs in the “Doggystyle” position. Now this scene is completely ready, taking into account many different options for the appearance of your character/his partner.
In addition, some other work was also done. Among some updates to the modding framework and related refactorings, a fairly large system was made that greatly improves the overall variety of randomized NPCs in a game session - eye color shades. Right now, this mechanic assumes that the NPC/your character can, in addition to eye color, also have eye shades, which increases the number of possible colors from 16 to over a thousand units. Accordingly, this will significantly expand the overall generation pool.
Also, a new possible system/mechanics has been added for randomized NPCs: the ability to have sex on the street. Naturally, this mechanic is completely new; existing scenes had to be slightly reworked for it, but in general, this is available right now, right in update 948b.
Secondly, the plot. And... Here we can say with confidence that we have also done quite a lot of work. It concerns the story character - Suzuki Matsui, who, in addition to half a dozen new events with her, now has her own mechanics/systems related to cohabitation, which are completely unique. In addition to the fact that she has her own schedule and activities, she also has her own mood. Absolutely all parameters affect your possible dialogues, which can now be started with her in exactly the same way as with a randomized NPC - at any time when she is at home, and will not be busy with any specific things. The mechanics are quite large, so they will significantly diversify the gameplay when going through this particular storyline. In general, a lot of things have been done that relate to her storyline, but we won’t talk about them all here now.
Thirdly, a completely new modification menu. Honestly, you can talk about this for a long time, starting from the ability to update a modification, the ability to check when exactly this modification was updated, the ability to view screenshots of modifications in the game itself, a huge variety of other conveniences have appeared there. Of course, there is a video that shows how to use this menu, and we have already shown it.
Fourthly, the ability to customize your character in a very precise way. Now absolutely all the settings with which you could customize a randomized NPC have been added to your character editor: tattoos, scars, piercings, all sets of clothes, body shape - absolutely everything is now available for customizing your character’s appearance, which will add more choice and variety.
Fifth, refactoring and bug fixes. Here you can get by with the usual list of changes, current for version 0.948b.
New content:
- The 18+ scene was completely redrawn with randomized “doggy style” NPCs. Now, instead of the old scene, which did not look so good, a new one has appeared, which displays all the appearance features, tattoos, accessories, hair types and other elements of the appearance of the randomized NPCs. It is available from the new menu of sexual contacts with randomized NPCs.
- The interface for downloading modifications from our servers has been completely changed and improved: firstly, the interface itself has become much more beautiful and informative, less “wooden”, animations and other things pleasing to the eye with various details have appeared in it. In addition, it now has a huge variety of possible interactions with modifications, which will greatly simplify their downloading: pages with screenshots of modifications have appeared, dates of their last update have appeared, notifications that you can download a new modification update, a restart button, and much more , which will make it much easier for you to download and select modifications from the existing game library.
- A cohabitation system was created with Suzuki Matsui, which is absolutely unique in its own way for the game: it has a schedule, mood, employment, and you can now interact with it. Each interaction changes greatly depending on her mood, actions. In addition, she now has an "overall relationship level" system that shows her affection for your character. Overall, this will add a huge note of variety after cohabiting with Yuki and Ayano.
- More than 5 new possible events have been added with Suzuki Matsui, which are available when completing a new plot with her: they drop out completely randomly and give out various privileges to your character, which will significantly expand the overall pool of variety in your character’s life.
- A huge number of new settings have been added for your character to change his appearance: customization of accessories, tattoos, piercings, scars, many more settings for clothes, underwear and even body shape. At the moment, your character editor completely replicates the settings of the RNPS editor, which is why you even have the opportunity to use any of the modifications for your character.
- Added a new possible setting for changing eye color: Eye Tint. Due to this feature, a randomized NPC can now have around 1000 shades of eye colors, making the generation pool more diverse. In addition, using this setting you can also change the eye color of randomized NPCs in the editor or change the eye color for your character.
- Now, when starting a sexual encounter with a randomized female NPC, it is now possible to choose not only a hotel and your apartment as the location for the sexual encounter, but also a “right here” feature that allows your character to have a sexual encounter right on the street of the local city. The chance of agreement is affected by the level of courage of the randomized NPC - he must be very brave.
- Now absolutely all indicators in the RNPS editor are centered in the right corner, which will correct shortcomings when the values went beyond the interface.
- The function that downloads modifications has been improved and updated: it now offers the ability to “update” files without downloading unnecessary, already existing files. In addition, it takes into account the time of the last “changes” within the server, which will give more scope for information.
- There has been a significant refactoring of everything related to downloading modifications, as well as downloading in general: it now works faster, takes into account more factors, and in general there are far fewer reasons for the download to “stop” or abruptly “interrupt”.
- A “Check files” button has been added to the modification download menu, which, if the necessary files are missing, will simply download them.
- The function responsible for removing modifications has been improved: it now works as it should, removing not only initialization files from the game, but also directories with modifications if necessary.
- The system for downloading modifications using our servers has been improved: the connection is more stable, the progress bar showing the download progress, more accurately indicates the number of files for “additional download”.
- Changed and improved some animations in 18+ scenes when using the new sexual contact interface with randomized NPCs.
- In the framework for creating modifications, kwarg functions have been added to certain sections, with the help of which it will be possible to more deeply customize a possible modification, starting from the chances of generation and ending with some specific skin colors.
- The list of modifications in the menu for downloading them using the game itself has been slightly sorted: from largest to smallest.
- Modifications that could break the game by throwing exceptions immediately after downloading have been removed from the ability to download modifications online.
- Work with the Moscow game servers with redirection has been improved three times, which is why entering the game has become more stable, and loading has been accelerated exactly three times. In addition, the requirements for entering the game have also become much smaller than before, which is why there should be many fewer problems with entering the Patreon code.
- The script has been significantly improved, adding the ability to log into the game and the subscriber’s Patreon account into the game, which is why the speed of adding has increased, as has the number of possible platforms for this.
- Modifications that could break the game by throwing exceptions immediately after downloading have been removed from the ability to download modifications online.
- The interface for adding tattoos/piercings for your character has been completely changed to be more practical. In addition, this interface now displays tattoos added by modifications.
- Now the maximum debuff that can be placed on your character's attributes after a fight is 80 percent and cannot go higher than this value.
- Automatic initialization of names and paths to modifications has been added to the framework, which makes this feature more practical and ultimately modifiable.
- The ability to add your own tattoos/piercings for randomized NPCs has been added to the framework for creating modifications.
- A significant refactoring of the systems responsible for tattooing and piercing randomized NPCs has been carried out: now this system works more adequately and better.
- A new kwargs function has been added to the framework's function for adding accessories, due to which the hair of the character wearing this accessory may disappear if necessary.
- In the modification framework, in the function for creating a set of clothes, a new kwarg function was added that allows you to remove the front of the arms if the clothes had too long sleeves.
- Added more possible hairstyles for editing in the editor of randomized NPCs, for males.
- Now the auto-leveling of randomized NPC attributes only applies to the game difficulty "Hard". For other difficulties this mechanic is currently irrelevant.
- New dependencies have been added to the missionary position, which now causes its background to change depending on the location. When having sex in a hotel and your apartment, the background remains the same as it was before.
- The code has been refactored for 18+ scenes with randomized NPCs: now they cause much fewer errors and exceptions, and generally work more stable than before.
- The system for distributing the activity of randomized NPCs has been changed to a more arcade version, in which there will be at least a couple of people at the location who have absolutely no activity.
- A significant refactoring of the system that is responsible for the hair of randomized male NPCs was carried out: now the system completely replicates the female system, which is why it becomes fully modifiable and more functional. In addition, functions have been added to the framework that allow you to add men's hairstyles in your modifications. - The tutorial that occurs throughout the game has been slightly changed. With a guide, with everything you might need.
Fixed bugs:

In addition, a bug was fixed, due to which even on the map the mark of a tattoo parlor displayed an incorrect background of the location.
- Fixed a bug that could occur when the identifier of a randomized NPC was incorrectly transferred to the event tag, which resulted in an exception that did not allow further play.

A huge amount of content has been added that has been the most requested and we are excited to present it here. In addition, we can tell you with confidence that there will be many times more content for 949, which will be extremely unexpected and extremely pleasant. Not only in terms of modifications, but also expansion of systems/mechanics. Well, now that this update has been released, you can try a dozen modifications to diversify your gameplay, conveniently viewing them in the corresponding menu, which is automatically updated, and also expect a major update on the 27th, December 27th, which, again, will be the largest this year, and, indeed, in the entire history of game development.
