I hope Saddog and you can do a collab and make Tyrant perfect, though its unlikely i guess... :cry:
That would be perfect, but I still have my doubts about the game being updated after this time. The dev has said many times that he has a serious problem with depression, so I don't like to get my expectations high, although we can always hope for the best.

0.9.4 Mod Update - Development Progress Report:
  • Play through new content - In Progress
  • Go through new code and assets - In Progress
  • Convert new code to mod format - Not Started
  • Convert new scenes to mod versions - Not Started
  • Create Twisted versions for Love/Corruption scenes - Not Started
  • Convert NTR scenes to full Darker Path versions - Not Started
  • Add in any new personally created or Fan-Art content - Not Started
  • Playtest Mod - Not Started
I'm playing a bit through the new content and starting to do diff comparisons on all the coding files. There are a lot of them. Saddog has made little changes throughout most of the old files. I don't have a lot of time to play right now, but I wanted to get a jump on things while I could. :)

SAZ you are the best! I'm lobbing hard to get you a "Hero of the Soviet Union Medal" Take your time, I still refuse to play this game without your MOD...So thanks!
I'm in the same boat. The mod just improved too much across the board for me to go back to vanilla.

Super-excited to see that there was an update, but am also hesitant to get my hopes up too much because I've also grappled with clinical depression my whole life and I know how sporadic it can be. Coming out of a bad episode can either last for months, or just a couple of days. You can feel like you're on top of the world, and then relapse to where you're practically comatose, for no apparent reason. Obviously I hope he stays feeling better though, and wish him the best.

Random question: Are either, or both, of saddog and SAZ native English speakers? It's been a while since I played vanilla, but back when I played the mod for the first time I seem to remember thinking that the text was more readable. Less typos, grammatical errors, etc. and am just curious. It's just one of the things that make me feel like the mod is mandatory to me. Not to mention all of the QOL improvements for less grinding, repeatable scenes, added scenes, and the new optional dialogue for a lot of scenes is so good imo.

So I can only speak for myself, but I am indeed a native English speaker. :)

But when I first started, I wanted the changes made to the dialogue to be minimal as I didn't want to change the feel of the game too much. So I was very cautious at first. This was my first mod. I've done others since then, but I haven't shared them like this one. Those others have just been personal projects where I've made specific changes to fit my personal preferences.

Anyway, as I progressed, I started making more drastic changes as I was adding more paths and my own content with my renders and fan-art. I also got a boost from some kind users that submitted punctuation and spelling corrections that I had missed. I had done most of the work in my coding software, and I'm a bit embarrassed to say I hadn't even installed a proper spell check add-on. But with my larger script rewrites I had planned. I was doing so in my word processing software, which was much more processed, organized and clean. So I wasn't as worried about it as I maybe should have been. But I changed that a few updates ago and started cleaning up the dialogue a lot earlier, especially with Saddog leaving us for longer periods of time and my time for the big overhaul being reduced. I decided I could at least start cleaning up the current dialogue better than I had been. It's still a work in progress, but two large (script wise) Hot Fixes were released specifically about that for the mod earlier.

Is the last mod version compatible with 9.4?
So while the mod is techincially compatible with 0.9.4 update, you won't be able to access any of the new content yet with the mod. :( The way the mod works is that it links back to the assets available in the main game, but uses it's own coding pathway play it's own version of the scenes. That's how it enacts changes in the routes and a non-intrusive installation. And it hasn't been coded for the 0.9.4 content yet.

I've added a progress report on my update for the mod in-line on the thread and to the OP for the thread as well. My time for development is still limited so it may take a while, but I will keep updating the thread with my progress. :)

From the official update notes: " you won‘t lose relationship points any longer when NTR is off (that makes no sense then) "

Great call (y)

Does anyone know if saddog ever frequented F95zone? I went on his blog and wanted to send him a supportive DM but I think he has messages switched off (I can't blame him though).

I don't have enough words to descriptive how amazing SAZ mod is.technically is incomparable,So.. just liking the way the Mod and events are developing by SAZ so far. I already get used to his progress one word (Awesome).
There are also some inconsistencies but it does not matter at all, Thank you SAZ for all work you have done.

"Normally" i'm not the "Modtype" of Guy(general Gaming as well, except a few exceptions), most Mods when they land on my PC are small Gallery or Cheatmods. But SAZ mod is one of my absolute Favorites. The Tyrant is one of my absolute Favorite Porngames, idk why exactly, maybe it's due the sandboxy feel plus how "natural" the whole love, corruption and NTR paths feel, but overall saddog does a pretty great job(maybe a bit slow though). The thing is however, that Saz Mod enhance on that and add a level of polishing, add to the experience, QoL etc etc... it's like one of this Expansions like Lord of Destruction which makes a great Game amazing, so thank you S A Z for the work you put in. Can't wait to dig into 0.9.4 with your Mod.
