Update 0.8.25 Progress Report & Change List (Patreon)
Content
For those who haven't noticed, our page was suspended by Patreon last week for reviewing. The next research pass will be Talon as we need to make sure Galatea and Yanshi meet the criteria of Patreon. Galatea is still in the queue, the problem was that we did not replace the screenshots of Galatea and Yanshi's old models on Patreon, which were dangerously petite for both Steam and Patreon. Now with the new models approved by Steam, we are confident they can be greenlit on Patreon as well.
In the upcoming update 0.8.25, we improved the rendering of socks, stockings and pantyhose, separated them into a new category, which means they can be mixed and matched with other costume pieces. All pantyhose and stockings now can be ripped and half dressed.
Physics effects have been added to necklaces, eardrops, nipple piercings and other costume parts that should be dynamic.
You can now select the point of view of any actor in the scene, either male or female, as the first person view camera.
High heels can now be equipped in most sex scenes, and the girls' ankles will now swing based on the speed and intensity of animations if their feet is in the air.
Facial expressions have been reworked, a new facial expression system will be implemented to generate real-time facial and mouth animations based on the investigator's mood and sexual status.
A new consecutive orgasm system has been implemented. If the same girl reaches climax within 5 minutes after the last one, the consecutive orgasm count will increase, gradually activating various effects such as urine leak, aheago, love juice splashing, sweating, squirting and flow of tears.
Please note that some of the functionalities are still in testing phase and may not be able to be shipped in the first version of 0.8.25. The update is scheduled to be shipped in a week.
Time to talk about the in-game economy. We've always planned to address the flaws in the current economic system, yet the importance of performance optimization and improving overall sex scene experience took precedence in previous updates. Now it is time to fix things.
Before the combat mode is implemented, all progress and resource gaining heavily relies on the length of time players spend online. For an adult game, the repetitive manual labor is both uninteresting and meaningless. The arbitrary Likes income exacerbates this issue: spending hours online only to receive a few likes is always frustrating.
Starting from version 0.8.25, completing daily tasks rewards an additional 30 research points (increased from 50 to 80). When players accumulate a total of 500 research points every week, they will be able to immediately claim 100 likes, enough to purchase almost all items in the weekly shop. The number of Likes earned in the rewards section of the research pass will also be increased from 20 to 30, and progress points can also be earned from simultaneous climax, having sex with other player's avatars in bondage.
Outfit pieces will no longer appear in the Peer Review Committee but will instead be sold at the Nemed Flagship Store. The shop offers 5 currently unowned pieces and refreshes weekly. These clothing items can be purchased using data fragments or NEP.
Gifts and repair gels can be purchased with Likes from Nemed Flagship Store and Peer Review Committee.
Starting from 0.8.25, new patrons who pledge 36 usd to acquire the closed beta key will only receive one free Advanced Research Pass instead of two. On the other hand, the price to purchase insights without the first time bonus will be cheaper.
