Well there's Pepper, who says that I can come and give a sample, whenever I want, but her lab is greyed out for me after the scene. Maybe that's a bug?
...
About calling this a story heavy update I'm not so sure. The hive was the only thing new really, but it only got introduced as a big mystery. If this was the story heavy introduction, how many story heavy updates will it take to flesh out the concept of the hive?
...
but I don't think there ever was a scene, where Zaton gave his master's map to Shani and explained what it was about.
Re: Pepper, that was the intent indeed, to be repeatable, but there were a few complications with the repeatable path (which will come shortly), we just failed to remove the line hinting at it for now.
Re: The map and Shani, there is a scene in the library. Maybe that specific part was not long and very expanded upon but it's there.
The story-heavy note was mostly in relation that the scenes were revolving around the story, and not Z going around sticking his penis in random women. It was done to allow for precisely that in future updates, but story-related scenes will also be there.
To be clear since I see many doubts regarding version 0.08b, there are only 4 scenes: sleeping with your wife, in the laboratory, with the mutants and with your daughter in the area.
And
Ivy visiting you at night, and the reworked Raider scene (which I'll concede is not a "new" scene).
Honestly, there are many comments about the shortness of the update and I can understand it may
feel like it because the renders are not dragged out, but it's rough to see an almost 800-render update with a lot of care put into it reduced to "That's it?! Short af".
Maybe it actually is if someone didn't save Ivy, because in that case you can't get most of those but still.
Now, if people generally expect a thousand renders per month, I can confidently say this will not happen. It's just not feasible unfortunately.
Eh, damn this reaaaaallllly needs a patch. Thinking Shani was adopted right before sex with her ruined the sex scene for me. Oh man. I really want to like this game but eh.
There is a bug related to this, will be fixed.
