System Updates

• Character preferences have been added to the game
  • Characters now have preferences for different actions, ranging from Hating something to Loving it
  • Preferences have an impact on how scenes play out, and what options are available to the player
  • You will get to choose your character preferences during a dream sequence with Saya, or during chapter select
  • Preferences can also be randomized, if you’re feeling adventurous!
• Character Traits have been added to the game
  • Traits are passive abilities that can alter actions throughout the game
  • These will be primarily used in Interactive Scenes
  • Traits can be earned through achievements
• New Scene Repository System
  • Each character, starting with Penny, is having their repeatable content consolidated to a Scene Repository
  • Actions from the Repository can be called when needed, as either a one-off action, or a complete Interactive Event
  • New Interactive Events now use the Scene Repository
  • This allows them to be generated on the fly, and much more quickly than the old Interactive Events
  • If a scene allows for selecting more than one action, it is an Interactive Event
• New Interactive Event System
  • Taking actions in Interactive Events no longer uses Stamina
  • Instead, these events have a set number of turns, ending when no turns remain
  • Both the player and their partner have an Arousal gauge, fill (or depleting) after every action
  • In order for an option to be available for the player to take, the MC must have at least a Neutral preference towards that action
  • Additionally, you can choose to let your partner take one of their preferred actions instead
  • The ending received is based on whose Arousal gauges were filled by the end of the event
  • This system is currently only applied to Penny’s Lab Sex scene and Penny’s Bedroom scene. It is also used in other scenarios to call linear, single-action scenes
  • Ava, Dakota, Diana, and Penny’s Bedroom events are still using the old system
• All of Penny’s image calls in game have been replaced with the new image handler
• Meaning… Image Pack support for Penny is in place and ready to go!
• Changed Chest Wrap functionality slightly
  • Chest Wrap can no longer be equipped if MC has Massive Breasts
  • Chest Wrap will automatically fall off if MC’s breasts become Massive
  • Wearing Chest Wrap will now force Flat Chest visual on MC
• Various performance optimizations have been put into place where convenient
• Various UI elements are in the process of being updated
  • This update contains an incomplete version of a larger UI overhaul
  • Meaning, you’ll see a mix of the old UI elements and the new ones until the implementation is complete
• Achievements have been expanded and improved
  • Some achievements now award Traits, which can be viewed in the Preferences and Traits menu
  • More improvements to come, included more/better rewards
• Major improvements to tracking functionality
  • This is a hidden function that tracks interactions between the MC and NPCs
  • Tracking is used for scene and dialogue adjustment, as well as achievement tracking
• Image Pack support is available for Penny!
  • See THIS article for creating and using Image Packs
