Night Games - Cats, Escorts, and Grudges is now available to all patrons!
🕑 Added 2017-11-22 03:16:30 +0000 UTC Hi Everybody!The new major update for Night Games is ready for release, and it's an exciting one! We have the sprites for Kat and Samantha that were promised in our $400 goal. The sprites for Reyka and Eve will be next.
If you're supporting at the $5 or above tier, you should head to the premium release post to download the premium build.
If you're supporting at a lower tier, you can download the standard build from the post below.
If you aren't supporting at all, you have two options. First, it's not too late to become a patron. Just $1 a month will get you the early release. If you're not interested in that, the standard build will be available to the public in a week.
I want to take a moment to thank Veroen for the suggestions he posted in the forum. The two biggest mechanical additions, the Grudge System and Challenge Mode, were based on his suggestions.
For anyone with a passing familiarity with Shadow of Wardor, the Grudge System is like a light version of the Nemesis system. After you beat an NPC, she'll get a grudge buff the next time you fight her that night. These grudges are mostly unique to each character based on their fighting style and personality. This will give you something extra to deal with if you keep picking on the same NPC repeatedly.
The Challenge Mode makes use of the handicap system that was already in the game. Instead of being offered handicaps for bonus money, in Challenge Mode, you'll be automatically given a handicap each night. I've also added some more handicap types to make sure there's a variety. This will be great for players that find the vanilla game a bit too easy, but don't want to use the Hard AI.
Now I'm glad that the Hard AI is in the game, because I know some players are really fond of it. Thank you Jos for making it. However, I've never found it fun to play against. Optimized behavior is just too predictable for my taste. I'm glad that we have an alternative now.
The last addition I want to talk about is something that no one complained about, but bugged me during testing. NPCs that equip strap-on dildos now show them in their sprite. AimlessArt even went the extra mile to give each one a unique design.

OK, the art is definitely included now and I reuploaded the build in both release posts. If you downloaded the game previously, make sure you get a new copy.

It has come to my attention that some of the images, including Samantha's sprite did not export properly for either build. Usually when this happens, I just need to rebuild the project and it corrects it, but this time it doesn't appear to be helping. I'll reupload the builds as soon as I get it corrected.
