With the endgame behind us, it is time to briefly polish things up and get the long-awaited NG+ feature going. Let's set expectations right away: You won't find much new content in this update. This is a Quality of Life and polish update for the most part. It makes improvements to the experience that I didn't have the time to deal with until now. However, that doesn't make these any less important.
Many of the oldest sex scenes see massive overhauls in version 0.35, bringing them to a level similar to that of the game's later scenes. We're talking about scenes that used to be 2-3 frames of "animation" that were poorly posed and executed. These scenes now look and feel a lot better. All the old scenes will eventually be updated, but this takes care of the majority of the most blatantly outdated ones.
You will also find a couple of new icons in the top-right corner in this update. These icons add a to-do list that helps point you in the right direction when you get stuck, as well as a spellbook that lists your available spells at any given time.
Perhaps most importantly, New Game Plus (NG+) is now available. This feature does not activate until you finish the game for the first time and choose to preserve your game state. This will unlock the NG+ option whenever you start a new game in the future. For the time being, the differences between NG and NG+ are not particularly significant, but NG+ will be made more unique as we move forward.
The underlying engine has received an update too. With this new version of Ren'py powering the game, there should now be native 64-bit support for LLtP. There are a couple of quirks in Ren'py that changed with this update, which means that you might stumble across bugs or issues caused by it. If this happens, please let me know.
With NG+ out of the way, it is time for me to move on to Callie's romance update for the next version.
Enjoy!
Changelog 0.35.0 - New Game Plus:
- New Game Plus is now available. Unlock it by reaching one of the game's many endings. NG+ will be expanded in later updates.
- The optional ability checks in the tutorial are now fully implemented.
- Completely rebuilt the masturbation scene in the tutorial to make it at least somewhat appealing. This scene changes in NG+.
- Complete overhaul of several sex scenes with new poses and improved visuals and animation. These scenes are:
- Evelyn's goodbye
- Belle wakes you up
- Belle while spying on mystery woman
- Samarra's first training session
- Callie's nude fashion show
- Erato's pathfinding training.
- Minor visual and animation upgrades in Evelyn's boobjob scene and the Fairy Queen's BJ training. Minor visual update to Primrose's boobjob scene.
- Various other visual improvements.
- Added a spellbook that shows learned spells and your remaining daily attempts at Invade Mind.
- Added a to-do list that will help remind you of things you might want to do.
- It is now possible to obtain a point of Charisma from Samarra even if you choose not to claim your just rewards after defeating her.
- Most of the UI is now hidden during sex scenes. Please report any bugs you find that are caused by this change.
- Fixed a bug that made one of Callie's potential epilogues not appear. This fix might not work if you are already in the endgame.
- Added progressive hints to the town hall puzzle. These hints appear after comparing the wrong facts too many times.
- The Fairy Queen's vision quest now allows you to ask Belle for hints as many times as you like. This is a temporary fix until I can rework the quest.
- The first night scene with Evelyn is now optional.
- Removed silver and gold pieces from the game. They still exist in the game world, but not as a game mechanic.
- Remade and repositioned the button for toggling camera perspectives. It should now be easier to spot.
- Updated to the latest version of Ren'py (7.4.4). You should not notice any differences. However, Windows XP is no longer supported and LLtP is now 64-bit. There is still a 32-bit executable included.
- Various tweaks and fixes.
