v1 is finally out!
The main changes inlude richer relationship development and the diary which reflects the game progression.
- New features:
- Interactions with other characters were extended to comprise several relationship stages, including new dating mini-games. Character-dependent Club actions will only be available when certain relationship stages are reached.
- The diary was added. The diary reflects decisions and impressions of Ryo's wanderings.
- The 'Restore' activity was replaced with three new 'Rest' (1, 3, and 7 days long) to allow skipping time for a small fee.
- Balancing:
- Experience requirements were increased so that level 100 is reached around the time when all the rooms are completed. Previously, after reaching level 100, the player had to complete several more rooms to be able to get 100% completion.
- Club Credits gain was re-balanced to be less at the beginning and increase as the level increases.
- Other updates:
- Experience will not be given when the player plays with the mask after the point in the game when it should be taken off.
- The game will not be auto-saved when the auto-save is on and the page is refreshed or closed - this caused bugs with an inconsistent game state.
- Some dialogs were swapped to make the story better.
- 'Club Currency' was renamed back to 'Club Credits'.
- The 'AI Camera' item (available from the previous game versions) was retired.
- Minor updates in icons and levels when certain items and activities become available.
- The dialogue options were replaced with a more common and simpler Protest / Ignore / Hesitate / Accept / Embrace set.
- Bug fixes:
- The experience shown when the top level was reached was incorrect.
- When using character zoom, scroll bars were not shown properly.
- It was possible to use vouchers during certain procedures on the same body parts - this resulted in weird behavior.
- The actions tooltip is now not clipped.
- Auto-save (when enabled) did not run after finishing Club sessions.
- Scar vouchers sometimes did not work properly.
- Side effects:
- Character-dependent Club actions will only be available when certain relationship stages are reached.
- The level will be reduced to accommodate the new experience requirements.
- A few new dialogues may pop up one after another on loading the previous version's game state.
- For existing game state, diary may have be incomplete / have incorrect record dates.
Any plans on publishing the game on Steam as a paid game?
ReplyDeleteNot really, I don't think its quality is good enough for that, and likely I won't be able to invest much in it.
