So, another week and a half has passed since the release of the new version - the time for the release of a new edition of the weekly news, as well as micro-updates. It is natural that during this time we have put a lot of effort to improve the game, but from now on, everything is in order. Well, let's start with the results of the vote, which should have just ended today.
Oddly enough, but first of all, fixing bugs and refactoring the code won this vote - this is all we, in fact, did these two weeks basically. During this time, more than a hundred bugs and fifty common flaws have been fixed, however, this does not mean that we will finish working on this in this half-week period - we will also work on the stability of the game. However, we will also follow the given vector of the game's development: randomized NPCs, a little plot with Yuki and Azumi, new perks and character development opportunities. During this week and a half, we will make a lot of content related to this direction, and after that we will release a full-fledged update, version 945, on August 27, as it should be in the schedule. Of course, if something changes in the schedule, we will let you know, but now everything is as it is, so you will need to wait a bit. Well, now let's get down to what has already been done.
First, randomized NPCs. And... In fact, everything is very simple here. We have significantly improved the existing artificial intelligence of the game, added a new scene, new RNPС activities, new events and much more. However, let's start with the biggest innovation: the new stage. It opens when your character enters the women's restroom location - a new location - and the corresponding scene is displayed there. Hence the new activities, new interactions and various other things that can now be done with the RNPС - for example, the possibility of friendly sparring has appeared, which is available in a new location - the martial arts hall. There are a lot of all these small changes and innovations, so listing them will take a long time - it's easier to read everything a little lower, and now let's move on to other points.
New locations. In total, about 6 pieces were added in total. Each of them is responsible for its own direction: basically, these are toilets, academy locations and a martial arts hall. In the toilets, as expected, new events and activities, in the locations of the academy, the habitation of one's own "living creatures" in the form of randomized NPCs is a secret corner. Hooligans gather there and study with you. Well, in the martial arts hall you can spar with randomized NPCs, box. In principle, this greatly diversifies the local variety of locations. Not to mention the fact that we have improved the diversity in existing locations, but more on that in the next paragraph…
Thirdly, the plot. We are not talking about story NPCs at the moment, however, we are talking about randomized ones - a new storyline has been added regarding RNPCs and the location of the forest. It has a lot of choices and outcomes, so it will be a nice addition for the player, not to mention its overall replay value. Also, work is underway on some plot characters.
Fourth, the interface. Well, here we will just report that work is underway on the interface. So that it is easier to play on android devices. The work is active, some mechanics and systems have already been completed, however, we will show all the screenshots and source codes when all this is inserted into the game: everything is rapidly changing and being finalized, and we see no point in misleading you. Just know that this is a work in progress.
Fifth, bug fixes and refactorings. Undoubtedly, we could do many more points with innovations, but this does not make much sense - we'd rather just lay out a list of changes for this period of time. Everything is already there and it can be tested in version 0.944b:
New content:
Added a new storyline with a randomized NPC, which is knocked out in the forest location with some chance. It can give out ingredients and some potions.
Added a new 18+ scene that is displayed during some events with randomized NPCs.
Now, if you talk to a female character who is in the toilet, your character will be shown a new separately drawn scene where she is doing her business in the toilet stall. This scene takes into account all the features of the appearance, the clothes worn on the RNPC, underwear, and even moles with skin color.
Added new possible activities for randomized NPCs that your character can interfere with, while having events on the screen that decide the fate of your character and randomized NPC.
Now, the formula for calculating the success of answering a call also takes into account the level of fear of a randomized NPC: the higher it is, the more likely this very randomized NPC will answer.
A new location for a possible transition has been added to the city map - a martial arts hall. In it, your character will be able to box and increase combat experience, while not participating in fights.
A new sub-location has been added for the academy location - a secret corner. Your character's classmates gather there for certain interactions.
New sub-locations have been added to the «academy» location: men's and women's toilets.
New sub-locations have been added to the «mall» location: men's and women's toilets.
A minor refactoring of the systems responsible for moving through locations using the map interface has been carried out: the academy location identifiers have been improved, the transition itself is carried out with a large number of conditions, which will fix errors associated with this very transition, and the number of RNPC shown in the interface, their the score becomes much more accurate.
Added new settings for editing accessories on randomized NPCs: settings for hairpins, chains and bracelets on the left/right hand.
It's now a little easier to level the physical stamina attribute of your character: every interaction that reduces limb health by a significant amount in any way has a small chance to increase that attribute.
Added more locations that require time for your character to navigate through.
Now in the field for entering paths for downloading online modifications/cross-save, the ability to insert text is available.
Meiko is no longer displayed in the occult club interface during «uprising» events.
Now the phone number of a randomized NPC can be taken under «threats», and not just having a good level of relations with him.
Improved the health formulas for the fear mechanic on randomized male and female NPCs. Fear now has a much greater impact on interactions that it previously had less of an impact on. In addition, the randomized NPC's courage score now has a greater influence on this.
Added a new location that can be visited during street 18+ scenes - forest.
Added a new possible interaction with randomized NPCs - friendly sparring. In it, you will be able to fight safely without losing any relationships with randomized NPCs, but only in the locations of an abandoned factory, forest, alley, and some others.
Added new possible locations for movement in the «Walk to...« interaction: forest, martial arts hall, lane.
The consequences for your character entering the women's locker room, while learning about it, are now much higher: firstly, his academic performance decreases, and secondly, the indicator of relations with all the RNPs that were in the locker room at that time decreases. In addition, entering the women's locker room itself has become much less critical than before, and relations with the RNPS are not declining as much.
Now, when opening a map of the in-game world, the focus is transferred to the middle of this very map, where there are most locations, and not the beginning, where there is one beach.
Now, instead of the swipe control setting on PC devices, the discord integration control setting is displayed in the game settings interface, on the first page.
A map icon has been added when opening the city map interface, with which it is possible to close this interface in the old way.
Removed some old rudimentary functions/sections of code.
A new editing feature has been added to the point generation interface: skin color. With it, you can edit the generator so that the skin colors you need are simply not generated.
In the fight menu after defeating a randomized NPC, an explanation of what gives this or that interaction, such as threats/beating, etc., now appears.
The artificial intelligence of randomized NPCs has been significantly improved: the determinant of their current activity, changing their taste preferences in clothes has been improved. Now they change their taste preferences not right on the street, but at home, at the same time. Changing clothes. The activities themselves now depend on the number of NPCs in the locations, who they communicate with, and other factors that depend on each other.
Improved the dialogue system with randomized NPCs: new reactions were added when one is your guest, more conditions were generally added for the manifestation of these same reactions to improve the effect of immersion in the game.
Fixed certain inconsistencies in the story with Ayano Yoshida: removed certain events, redid some old ones that did not fit her character, cut out certain interactions that negatively affect the game experience.
Ayano Yoshida from the interaction menu now has a 95 percent maximum chance of agreeing to any interaction, and a 5 percent minimum chance of rejection. There will be no more such problems with exorbitant interest.
Any fights on Easy difficulty no longer apply debuffs to your character's attributes.
Added more validation functions to fix some data generation/initialization errors.
A minor code refactoring was carried out regarding the display of male randomized NPCs: unnecessary code sections were removed, new ones were added that calculate high probabilities, many bugs were fixed with their display.
Improved data transfer to the group activity interface: now there should not be such that the data did not have time to calculate, because of which sometimes the text could be traced «Conversing with No No», etc.
Fixed bugs:
Fixed a bug that could cause an exception to occur in some individual events with randomized female NPCs.

As you could understand, we are working, and we are working very actively on the game. This period of time, although it was basically allocated for revision and correction, however, this did not stop us from significantly improving a huge number of mechanics and systems, adding something new and making the game better. Well, now all that remains to be done is to wait. Wait until we do a lot of new things, and you will receive the closest understanding of our work for this month on August 27!
