Course of Temptation Update 0.2: "Seize the initiative!"
🕑 Added 2023-07-15 22:46:11 +0000 UTCThis update adds new options for interactions with NPCs and fleshes out the romantic relationship path.
It doesn't yet have everything I had planned for this update, but this build contains some important bugfixes so it's going out to replace the current public build. After releasing it I'm going to continue adding a few new NPC interaction features before moving on to different areas of the game.
Major features:
- The phone: You can now use your phone to text NPCs and arrange activities with them.
- Dates and hangouts: See a movie or just chill with your friends and crushes. Or keep things straightforward and arrange a booty call.
- Style: Your clothes and hair will gravitate you toward certain styles, from punky to preppy, which others will notice.
- Turn-ons/turn-offs: NPCs may be more or less attracted to you depending on your style choices, body shape, hair color, and so on.
- Romantically minded: Some NPCs would rather date you than have a one night stand and they now make this abundantly clear. They must be pursued through more romantic means.
Mechanics:
- New and altered events will have NPCs mentioning what turns them on or off about you.
- Because of the new turn-on system, NPCs who were previously attracted to you may no longer be as interested. Sorry!
- NPCs interested in dating you can no longer be persuaded to have meaningless casual sex in most cases
- At higher Disinhibition, you can now proposition NPCs at the River Rat bar and the quad party instead of waiting for them to proposition you.
- Pre-encounter scenes have been expanded a bit, in particular letting you shed some clothing before the encounter begins.
- Subtabs in the People dialog are now sorted by relevant attitudes and show up as separate pages instead of one giant scrollable box.
- Added extra quick quickstart option that will get people started in a couple clicks with default choices.
Bugfixing and polishing:
- Certain events that can occur in your best friend's dorm will now properly form memories.
- Fixed an issue that caused wearing any accessory to break your clothing list.
- The "Risktakter" inclination has been removed in favor of the "Risktaker" inclination, the main benefit being that it won't nuke the Inclinations dialog.
- Fixed an issue causing the Options dialog to not work as intended.
- Saves that have encountered either of the above two issues will repair themselves when played in the new version.
- Fixed an error that would occur if both you and an NPC removed the same item of clothing at the same time.
- Fixed a typo in one of the positions within the encounter system that would create a red error.
- Fixed not one but two events where your cleavage could be mentioned when you didn't have cleavage showing or even own breasts.
- Did some optimization for the algorithm that picks NPCs for events to improve performance when it has to pick from a large list of people.
