Hot Coffee's April Build is out now! New Mechanics: Items, Phone Apps, Traits, Work, and more. Improvements for Navigation & visuals!
Changes based on player feedback:
- Player now walks faster.
- Removed the distance requirement when interacting with things, instead, the player will automatically move towards the object if it is too far.
Gameplay:
- Your phone is now fully functional, letting you use several apps, rather than just acting as a quest description.
- Started implementing the "Work" phase of the game. Instead of waiting for a period of time until your shift ends, you are now immediately presented with random events to complete throughout your shift.
- Major navigation changes. You no longer need to use your keyboard (WASD) to move your character, instead, you simply click on the object you want to interact with and the character will automatically walk towards it. Meaning now you only need one hand to play!
- Player can now access the main menu after starting the game.
- Added 1 new lewd scene.
Trait system:
- As you play, certain traits in your character will increase or decrease depending on your choices. For instance, making bold decisions will increase your confidence, but may bring other downsides.
- Added "Depravity" trait. Representing how lewd and corrupted your character is.
- Added "Confidence" trait. Representing how effective bold choices may be.
- Added "Reputation" trait. Represents how the people around will see you. Very high and very low values will bring you different types of content and choices.
Items:
- Added an Items system, allowing you to pick up, store, and eventually use/combine/examine them.
- Added "Napkin" Quest item.
- Added "Money" item. To be used later as currency.
Visual:
- Improved texture quality across the board.
- Improved post-processing, making colors pop out a lot more.
- New Inventory screen added. Allowing you see all items in your possession.
- New Todo List screen added. Allowing you to better see what your current "quest" is.
- New Statistics screen added. Allowing you to see the state of all your traits, more information will be added to this screen later on.
- Improved player animations.
- When hovering over objects, they will no longer change in color, instead, the cursor will change and a text description will appear on the screen. This makes your selection much clearer!
- The apps on your phone will now alert you when changes have occurred. For instance, if you picked up an item, then your inventory app will be alerted, etc.
