v.0.9 is such a massive change that I've decided to release it as a public version. v.0.8 would have reached the same point in the story but just... been a worse game
v.0.9
tl;dr:
- Mechanically, the daily loop is almost completely different
- Content ends at about the same point
- Something like 30% of the dialogue until end-of-content is rewritten to some extent
- I recommend playing through the intro again - it has fewer changes than elsewhere, but still
(Renpy's skipping system *should* be working fine during the intro so you can skip the stuff you've seen)
Content:
- All of the content is now accessible through all paths.
- The ⛓ and ♥ paths are now trying to move towards slightly different goals - ♥ is about Ari being pleasured, ⛓ is about Ari pleasuring Frim
- the different paths are now also trying to give Ari *slightly* different motivations so
- There are a few extra Temperaments (eg. - Ari is horny af) and a bunch of places where that causes a variation in the scene
- There's some completely new dialogue scenes added inbetween existing stuff, eg:
- The pacing of how Ari becomes friendly is a lot smoother (but not actually slower, just... I wrote it better this time)
- Frim is less *unnecessarily* mean - I feel like I really wasn't considering sub-y players enough and failed to make Frim an attractive dom (tho I guess tastes vary)
- Some new rules and repeatable daily actions (demanding Ari show her panties is now a daily event)
- Tiny tutorial animations for the tools in interactive h-scenes! *Way* too many people were having trouble with them to not fix this.
Changes:
- *HEAVILY* changed how the mechanics of the daily loop work:
- It's more-or-less rebuilt from the ground up. Any similarities with v.0.8 are more happenstance than things purposefully left in.
- Explaining all of the changes is basically like trying to form an exhaustive feature list, which is nah dawg, I'm not doing that
- Heavily changed the basic progress path (including quests) that the player goes through and how all of the scenes are accessed.
- The number of quests changed from 3 to 7, of which only the intro remains with the same name and progression as before
- Cut *a lot* of existing dialogue/text, focusing on two areas:
- Any text that's repeated a lot is shorter (eg. paperwork infraction dialogue went from 14 lines to 8)
- What used to be the quest A Gentle Touch was heavily gutted because:
- it was a severe problem with the pacing of how Ari becomes friendly
- the ⛓ path was giving Ari the same reasons to give in as the ♥ path, this was replaced for v.0.9 so the paths work better in parallel
internal:
- removed a lot of spaghetti code
- added a lot of spaghetti code
known issues:
- there's a small visual glitch when rubbing areas that have been spanked red
- sometimes there's a visual glitch that leaves the ruler visible when the ruler tool is disabled
- rollback and rollforward during interactive h-scenes can cause issues (I'm having a devil of a time fighting this)
- the backend has a massive amount of dead code that was left in due to crunch. I absolutely do not recommend looking at it.
