Hello!
Today's news post contains multiple big changes that have been done to the game since the last two weeks. Let's begin:
- Shower and Shame image sets have been merged and expanded into an active Shame system(In game it will have a more fancy name, right now it's just named after the image folder :P). It covers all available outfit combinations, and Serena's image changes if the outfit is embarrassing to wear outside. The system is tied to Depravity level, but there might be additional hidden stats tied to it(requires some testing before finalizing)
- NPC count across all maps has been reduced, but they now have more events and unique lines/actions depending on Serena's state(different reactions to lust meter, state of Serena's wardrobe, or during the rain).
Note: This system might be added for Serena's tenants only in the upcoming release. Then it will be expanded to all NPC's in the 0.65 update.
- Additionally, new experimental Recognition system has been added. This allows for having unique comments from other characters, when it's not the first time they spot Serena wearing something embarrassing.
Also as Serena's job level will rise, more people will recognize her in general.
- Big map changes: I finally got tired of the "skipping" that happens between leaving the apartment complex yard and going to Desire Shop. Since those two areas are directly on-top of one another, it makes sense to add two areas to connect them. So I did. Also all maps in general now have multiple secret paths and areas to explore.
- Serena's standing images got slightly changed to improve lighting and shadows. These are subtle changes that are only visible when doing side by side comparisons though, so it's a minute change and doesn't really count.
And that's about it. There's still lots of work with Fight System and TV job and channel ratings, so there are many busy days waiting ahead.
More info will be posted on Sunday, along with one more big change to outfit system that I'm currently fleshing out.
Until then.
Cheers!
