So, it's been another week and a half since the last news release, so the new one, 113 weekly news, is coming out right now. Naturally, during this time you slowly began to fulfill some of your promises that we made in previous news releases, but more on that one by one.
First, randomized NPCs. Oddly enough, enough things were done to diversify the gameplay for a bully - the fear mechanic was taken as the basis. Certain improvements, removal of the all-consuming randomness from this mechanic, as well as small innovations will do the trick. In addition, some work has been done on the relationship between your character and male randomized NPCs - new functions and features have been introduced there that will definitely appeal to a certain layer of players.
Secondly, the game for a female character. This is definitely a feature that excites many, so we will immediately mention it - it is being done, everything is being prepared for this innovation, so it remains to be seen. We made this point so that you know that we remember this promise and are working on it.
Thirdly, the plot. Here, as expected, came the least number of innovations. One event with Ayano, and even that one will not drop out in all game sessions, however, it still exists, so we are talking about it.
Fourth, backgrounds made by us. Well, here we just provide the backgrounds themselves:
Fifth, the translation of the game into English. During this time, we have made some progress in this and at the moment one of the largest files is ready, which has more than half of the content with randomized NPCs, so we will be waiting for your opinion on this entire translation in the discord channel.
Sixth, of course, fixing bugs and refactoring the code. Well, here, as always, the usual list of changes to the new version:
New content:
- The fear system has been reworked: now, at a certain level of relations, the character you are trying to intimidate/force to do something will still do it if the fear is above 900 or 1500 units. This includes intimidation, robbery and threats.
- Added new event scenarios when a randomized NPC is feared high during some interactions. Including, if the RNPS has a high fear, and you invite him to meet, now he will agree to this with one hundred percent probability.
- Added a new possible interaction with randomized male NPCs - suggest dating.
- Added text to 18+ scenes with randomized NPCs to describe the process.
- Now, in sex scenes with randomized male NPCs, you have the choice of who you will be in this sexual relationship: active or passive.
- Added a new storyline related to randomized NPCs. To get it, you need to go to the beach, and it may fall out with some chance.
- Added new events with randomized female NPCs.
- Added new events related to the story character Yoshida Ayano. Those become available under certain conditions, as well as cohabitation with her.
- Now the black color with RGB 000 and 000000 is not completely displayed on the clothes of randomized NPCs in case of changing the color of this very clothes.
- The branch with Robert the Cockroach has been replenished with new events that will drop out depending on the progress of your character in the story / his choices.
- Now, if your character has the maximum amount of reputation points in the grocery store, the window with the points needed for promotion will not be shown.
- Now 18+ scenes that don't have any text in any case give a positive increase in relationship points with the randomized NPC that the scene happens to.
- Increased the amount of fear points required to leave the academy from 1000 to 3000.
- The English translation of the npc_main.rpy file, which contained over 120,000 characters, as well as almost everything related to interactions and the interaction interface with randomized NPCs, has been improved.
- Now, if a randomized NPC has low courage, he will not come up with a jealousy scene towards your character if he and your character are in a relationship.
- Intimidation now, as well as a lot more aggressive interactions in general, reduces the amount of courage in the randomized NPC it was applied to.
- The background of the location "Beauty Salon" in the shopping center was completely changed and redrawn. In addition, now it has 3 options: day, night and morning.
- The background of the "Kitchen" location was completely changed and redrawn, which was positioned in some events with Ayano, as well as Yuki Oota.
- Minor refactoring of the code that was responsible for the generation of randomized NPCs was carried out: the generation of the NPCs themselves was improved, and some points that required some attention were fixed and finalized.
- Minor refactoring of the code that was responsible for sex scenes with randomized NPCs was carried out: some ejaculation formulas were improved, CG miscalculations of the scene were edited and certain points that required attention were edited.
- The code that is responsible for defining scenes with randomized NPCs has been refactored: new details have been added, and layers that overlap each other have been edited to create an overall picture.
- The code that is responsible for managing the occult club has been refactored: certain formulas have been edited and tweaked, the mechanics themselves have been improved.
- There was a minor refactoring of the code that is responsible for the management of the journalism club: some flaws in training, some poorly working mechanics and systems, as well as other things that required attention were fixed.
-The code of the relationship system with randomized NPCs was refactored: the functions responsible for issuing relationship points for interactions were taken into account, some formulas for the success of these very interactions.
Fixed bugs:
- Fixed an issue that could cause the textures of the Jacket and Skirt Outfit Set to work incorrectly. In addition, now any texture/color overlay does not work at all on this set of clothes due to incorrect performance.
- Fixed a bug due to which the third basic hairstyle in the editor of the main character could not be displayed correctly when changing the hairstyle.
- Fixed a bug that could cause an exception to occur when having sex with randomized female NPCs.
- Fixed a bug due to which the location interaction buttons in the Gym location were simultaneously highlighted when they were hovered over.
- Fixed a bug due to which some events with randomized NPCs could be played with a male NPC and not a female one, even if the original event suggested otherwise.
- Fixed a bug that could cause some editing options for randomized NPCs to disappear in the editor after some preliminary interactions with it.
- Fixed a bug related to incorrect display of the appearance of some randomized NPCs in a game session.
- Fixed a bug that could cause events with Robert the Cockroach to drop even if your character wasn't friendly with him to begin with.
- Fixed a bug due to which in the scenes of pawing the chest / buttocks of randomized female NPCs, they could have clothes in moments when they should not.
- Fixed an issue where a randomized NPC could have clothes in the activity menu when they should not.
- Fixed a bug that could cause an exception to be thrown due to some Occult Club management systems during game sessions.
- Fixed a bug due to which extra files could be in the list of academies that could be imported.
- Fixed some typos made in the opening story.
- Fixed a bug that could cause some UIs to display features of already removed mechanics/systems.
- Fixed a bug that could cause an exception when trying to donate money to the academy budget.
- Fixed a bug that could cause an exception in the player's room under certain in-game conditions.
- Fixed a bug that could cause your character to be nude if you previously edited randomized NPCs and clicked on the "Clear All" button.
- Fixed a bug due to which events with randomized NPCs could drop in the wrong locations in which they should drop.
- Fixed a bug where if your character broke a male character, the text would still refer to him as a girl.
- Fixed a bug due to which after pressing Shift+Alt+F12/F9/F10 the indicators of attachment/love/fear of randomized NPCs to your character did not increase.
As you can see, we continue to work on the game. More updates, stability improvements and even more in-game content and features await us in the near future, but for now, all that remains to be done is to wait. Wait until the new version is released, and that should be released on May 27, without any transfers and delays.
