Noemi’s Toscana Rebirth (NTR) v0.17.1 – “Business Affairs” (Daring Release)
🕑 Added 2022-02-01 05:21:12 +0000 UTCLe Gasp! Can it be? At last beWilder’s white whale by way of Italy! Yes, it’s time for a Noemi release, at last, at last! We’ve got a whole new stay in our Philly to please, as Noe tackles both Sal and main Story coming at her from both sides of Easy Street. Some big decisions lay at Noemi’s feet and it’s up to her to decide just how much Sal she wants in her life and just how close she’s willing to get to him in order to stab at his heart, if that chance ever comes that is. It’s also about time that Team Noe did some quality bonding, lest trouble find it’s way to their door. Who doesn’t enjoy some girl friendships growing deeper, huh? Well let’s find out. Let’s get in there and visit Little Toscana once again! Have at it!
“This release, dubbed “Business Affairs” marks the seventeenth full game release in the NTR branch of the beWilderverse. It’s the second focused character release for Sal, split with Main Story as a close but still secondary focus. It continues the building on our fourth arc to get a shot at deep development. Sal and Noe’s temporary partnership reaches it’s finale but it’s up to Noe just how beneficial all her efforts will be, and just how much more of Sal’s closeness she can bear in her pursuit of the biggest gut punch she can manage. Meanwhile, other schemes go down on Easy Street, and leaving Noe with too many to watch over at once. It’s time she start to build on her recent boons and make a real team out of Team Noe! It’s time to see it all yourselves, so…”
… Enjoy our main course of Noemi’s Toscana Rebirth!”

Our latest additions to Noe’s world include a fresh set of 14 full days in her shoes, that’s 14 more shots at taking back Easy Street and pushing back Sal. We’ve bumped up the Sal arcto 9 scenes now, adding the new longest scene in the game by far, as he and Noe redraw the lines between themselves again. Meanwhile, the Main Storygets a double scoop forward on the heels of it’s last version renewed kick-off. Forward then, unto the breach!

⦁Sound! We’ve overhauled our entire engine and every scene in it to bring a better experience to you overall. We’ve added our first background music release, thanks to a dedicated and generous fan, and now our first beWilderversecontributor, MaffinMusicMan. It’s our first attempt at sound in a professional capacity, but not our last, as in future versions we will be continuing to refine and add music to further improve the game. Feedback is appreciated, as is patience. Thank you.
⦁New UI features, including a Settings Menu and an interim Credits page (which will likely be finalized when the game is complete with proper acknowledgements and special thanks). As of now the Settings Menu is focused on audio and text matters, but may well be expanded in the future.
- Community Feedback
⦁ In including a new Setting Menu to go with the important need for volume control with the new sound system, we we’re certain to also include an expansion for the text sections to address peoples’ desire to also set their own Typewriter effect speed. This has been asked for a lot and for a while, so we took the first chance to do it for the community.
⦁ As usual we have playtested and rebalanced the game for this version, fixing and improving values and rewards as we build up and roll on. Highlights of this testing and players’ feedback include a 66% boost to the range of Tip Boosting values for Entertainment Lv2’s, making them more powerful and increasing potential tips earned substantially when paired high cooking and rep bonuses. Enjoy!
⦁ We’ve taken further passed on some a number of scenes, updating and fixing some typos send in by various players. We’ve also fixed a handful of mismatched portraits, including Noe’s tank top vs bolero on outfits, and also Asana in a particular case. Lastly we’ve fixed 2 instances of flickering CGs caused by incorrect changed in the CGs on single nodes in scenes. Thanks for the notice to a number guys and gals!
- Known Issues
⦁ There is an issue with Mac OS's Catalina which is not addressable by us on the developer side, but can be worked around on the user's end. "Problem is specifically with the guardian system that won't let un-noterized applications run on Catalina. The solution is to chmod -R 777 "/appdirectory/" from the terminal as the application did not have the executable flag set. (Example: chmod -R 777 ~/Desktop/NoemisToscanaRebirth_v0_17_Mac). After this guardian catches it and control clicking on the app lets it be opened." Repeat: Then you've got to CONTROL+Click (not double click like normal). That should allow the app package to run, if not, please tell us!
⦁ A few versions ago, we altered the way in which Repeat scenes are found and loaded in the Downtime section, as we eliminated a bug that allowed the game to skip over the next outcome in the activity chain if you already met the conditions for later ones. This means now players will see them in order as they should, however it may also mean that occasionally you will see the current repeatable 1 extra time more than needed if you increase the corresponding stats via scenes. It is a minor nuisance, but one we will look to correct in the future. For now, you may see a handful of repeatable 2-3 times instead of 1-2, rather than skip any.
Noemi’s Toscana Rebirth v0.17.1
Small bug fix.
- Community Feedback
⦁ Fixed a bug wherein if players had one of 3 Damon Arc scenes or the singular Asana arc scene that are triggered by staying home on Noemi’s day off cued to play but instead the player chose to Self-Improve at home instead, the database calls would exit with no found repeatable scene and strand the player on a blank white VN screen. Now things should correctly play in all situations. Thanks to WuzzyFuzzy for reporting this bug!
We are thrilled to report that there are no other known issues at this time. Please do inform us via message or our Discord server if you do come across any, we sincerely mean that.

Thank you, thank you muchly. We did think despite it's development hurdles, this one was to be one of our better release todate and we're glad it's landing that way. The Main Story should have some delight to it ahead certainly (when we have the time to lay into it more), and you can see now why we want to keep pressing the Sal arc while it's hot! Noemi's been a bad, bad girl, hasn't she...?

Congrats on the release! Really enjoyed the future implications of the main story scenes. And the main event was delightful, one of your best scenes for sure ☺️
