So, another week and a half has passed since the last update, which means it's time for us to release a new issue of weekly news and tell you what has been done in such a short period of time. Well, we clearly have a lot to tell. As was said in the last issue of weekly news, there is a lot of information, and it will be quite interesting, especially in terms of some insider information. Well, we will start with the most powerful innovation for this period.
First, the randomized NPCs. Despite their constant development, they still felt a bit bland and perhaps lifeless. And we understand that there is a lot that can be done about this - the replayability will increase, but the feeling itself will not go away. So what did we do to fix this situation? New interactions:
A new rather global interaction with systems was added to the interaction menu with randomized NPCs: talk about something. When you click it, you get the opportunity to write absolutely any text to you in this field - whatever you want. The RNPC will respond in accordance with its character, mood and other details of its character - all this is done by artificial intelligence. He / she has his / her memory, you will be able to find out his / her opinion on any event in the game or in general - do whatever you want with him / her, and in return you will receive relationship points. Interactive and pleasant interaction that will complement the character and make it more alive. At the moment, this function is available to subscriptions of the Super Best Friend level ($ 25) and higher. In the near future, it will be available to Best Friend subscribers ($ 10), but with some restrictions, which are below:
There are no restrictions, Llama3 is currently running on our local server, and these will be the first adequate tests of this innovation. Over time, we will refine and improve it, do more to implement all of this. In addition, it is obvious that in the future, if our subscribers appreciate all of this, we will introduce more different neural network features: the ability to write messages to RNPC, social networks in the game with them and much more. In addition, it should be said that these features will not cancel the development and improvement of the game in the “offline plan”. We will conduct exactly the same development, but make such “online features” a pleasant addition for those who support us with a subscription, for which we are grateful to everyone. Well, now that we have figured out the most global added feature - it's time to tell you about other details.
So, speaking of other details and innovations, it is necessary to mention initially 5 new sets of clothes for female RNPC. They can be seen below, or rather some of them.
6 new hairstyles for male RNPC:
This will be a very pleasant addition for each player and will improve their gaming experience. Regarding the RNPC - that's all. Let's move on to other points.
Secondly, system innovations and changes. The first thing worth mentioning here is the improvement of asynchronous translation, its logging, its multithreading and other details. The logging itself looks like this:
Also, asynchronous translation can now be enabled from the main interface of interaction with the game. Right from here:
There were also some minor improvements in this system, but they are not worth mentioning at the moment. Let's move on to another - the interface of new skirmishes with randomized NPCs. They now look like this:
The interface thus fits the existing design better, the information has been improved, as well as the stability of the code itself here. In addition, it has become a little clearer than before.
Here is also a new interface and a reference system. In it, you can reread the game tutorial. Each item is divided into categories, and the interface itself is available in the phone, the “Help with a guide” button. In addition, there is also a “Talk to a guide” button to get old instructions about an abandoned factory, etc.
Thirdly, the plot. Some changes have come here too, specifically the 18+ scene with the plot character Ayano Yoshida has been redrawn. You can already see it on our Twitter (we can't post the original here): https://x.com/kaitosi11
Well, and fourth - fixed bugs and errors. A huge amount of work was done here, probably even the largest part. You can read more about it here, in the list of changes:
New content:
A new, rather global interaction with systems has been added to the interaction menu with randomized NPCs: talk about something. When you click it, you get the opportunity to write absolutely any text to you in this field - whatever you want. The RNPC will respond in accordance with its character, mood and other details of its character - all this is done by artificial intelligence. He / she has his / her own memory, you can find out his / her opinion on any event in the game or in general - do whatever you want with him / her, and in return you will receive relationship points. Interactive and pleasant interaction that will complement the character and make it more alive. At the moment, this function is available to subscriptions at the Super Best Friend level ($ 25) and higher.
The interface for fights with randomized NPCs has been completely changed and redesigned to a more suitable style, as well as generally more pleasant to look at, without incomprehensible inscriptions, with understandable fonts and improved internal systems and modules for the sake of stability.
Now, when you press the “Help with a guide” button in your character’s phone, the game displays a new reference interface, where all the tips available in the game are displayed and where you can review them. In addition, there is also a “Talk to the guide” button to get old instructions about the abandoned factory, etc.
For the story character Ayano Yoshida, the erotic scene was redrawn: it now has more emotions, better detail, support for breast sizes for Ayano, and much more that players have been waiting for a long time.
The asynchronous translation function of the game was improved: more general information and logging were added, the system itself was improved due to the work of caching and some other things, and in general about 30 percent of the existing script was reworked to please the stability of this system.
For female RNPC, five new sets of clothes were added, available for generation/in the RNPC editor/your character.
For male RNPC/your character, if male, 6 new hairstyles have been added, accessible from editors or generation at the beginning of the game session.
More information tabs and buttons have been added for the asynchronous translation function: if this function is enabled, the game informs about the queue size and the language into which the game itself is being translated. In addition, this interface can now be accessed directly from the main menu for interacting with the game, and not only through the text display menu.
The work of the luck attribute and its influence on the gameplay has been slightly improved: it began to work more logically, and there are simply fewer problems with this attribute than before.
The randomization script in the game has been improved: it causes fewer potential bugs and problems, and in general has become more stable and predictable in performance.
The Chinese translation of the game has been updated: some untranslated parts of the game have been translated, the translation in other places has been improved, and in general it has become better.
The overall size of the game was reduced by 200 megabytes by compressing existing files, removing rudimentary ones, and working on the game's weight in general.
The font for the text in the RNPC activity menu was changed to one that is more suitable for the existing main new interface.
The code for displaying randomized NPC sprites was significantly improved, due to which the image itself and the RNPC display became more stable, and there were simply fewer problems associated with this system.
Fixed bugs:
Fixed a bug due to which the game could not save randomized NPCs to the character library on Android devices/devices other than Windows/Mac.
Fixed a bug due to which the game could throw exceptions when entering the sexual contact interface with randomized female NPCs without any reason.
Fixed a bug due to which the sexual contact interface with randomized female NPCs could work incorrectly without any reason and instead of text on the buttons, the text itself could be repeated from button to button.
Fixed a bug due to which the auto-correction function for text on the screen did not work at all in the randomized NPC activity display interface.
Fixed a defect due to which the translation of content from the randomized NPC activity display interface into English did not work correctly and instead of translation there could be simply nothing.
