v. 0.3.37 There will be bugs (or not)
Here's a new update for you Guys. It's a bit different than the other ones, as it has very little new content. But at the same time - it's probably one of the most important updates since the beginning of the game. Help me bug test it.
And don't worry - the new content is also ready (two new quests - one for Karma and one for Amia). I just postponed it until I'll be sure that the changes made in this update are working, and we hope to release them in couple days.

Changelog:
1. An overhaul of a game engine
When I started BA I had little experience as a developer. Since that time, almost 3 years ago, I learned a lot, and the game grew into a big environment. But the problem was - I wrote most of it stoned, and it was kind of a mess. As a result, I was literally swamped with bug reports and problems, many of which I couldn't even fix. Like for example missing key to Daphne's house at the beginning of the game, missing Mia after Ash's dissapearence, missing cellar or Daphne's car during Different Kind of Meatbags and Daphne's Secrets quests. I was wasting time fixing those problems, and things were only getting worse... So I had to do something about it.
I decided that the only way out is to rewirte big part of the game engine, to make things simpler, better and faster. So I've spent last couple weeks working all days all nights, and... this update is a result of this work. I've completely remodelled some crucial elements, but for you - things should be more or less the same. At least if I didn't fuck it up. Me, locodahmerio and IAmSorry tested the shit out of this, but still - expect some problems.
If you encounter anything out of the ordinary - please shoot me a save game with description what's wrong on our Discord or F95Zone thread. Thanks in advance!
2. Less in game nagging about supporting
I decided to remove some of the reminders about supporting the game. The ad that showed up in locations "Sad Grave/Happy Grave" won't show up at all anymore. It was breaking immersion. Additionally, the "Incoming transmission" messages will appear far less frequently. I hope you guys appreciate this move.
3. Visual fixes for mobile players
I've rewrite some parts of the visual styling to make the game look better on mobile phones, especially with passage rendering, location display, main window, etc..
4. Clearly marked Early Access/Fap Mode features
I've marked everything that connects with Fap Mode and Early Access content with the same colored purple badge. Also quests that are Early Access will now be also marked on your quests list (this is especially important for Bad Karma quest, which starts at the end of Karma is a Bitch, but is still Early Access as for now).
5. Balance for random events
I've noticed that many of the random events have a very big chance for players to end up fucking the characters they meet, even if they don't know them at all. During my tests I literally managed to fuck Alexa, Daphne and Amia during first random events I had with them. So I've reworked those events, and now it will be less likely to get lucky if you don't know them that well. The change is only for lowest friendship statuses. If your friendship status is 3 or higher - there is no change.
6. New pics in the exams
I've added 80 new pics (20 per class) to the exams memory mini game. Some of which I got from you guys. If you want more pics there - send them over through Submissions channel on our Discord.
Minor changes
7. Sniff Rush effect that you get from sniffing panties, bras, etc., no longer will give you visual effects - that's reserved for drugs.
8. The same as above for Insomnia effect.
9. Superior focus effect will now remove all the visual effects from drugs and alcohol.
10. Passing through Bad Karma will be easier now (roll the dice tests had too low chance of success).
11. Changes in the structure of church/forest/cemetery locations, that players can discover during Halloween quest.
12. Rewritten the support page informations to make it more clear what could be wrong with player's supporter code.
Minor bug fixes
13. Hundreds of small bugs, typos, visual glitches and other problems - found and fixed.
14. Exams will now work better on Opera, and in general I've rewritten exams to work better.
15. Detention that players are sent to when they get Amia angry is now fixed for non supporters.
