Build 0.2.0 Beta

This is a beta version of the update that might have bugs. We'll release the final version this Thursday. Please be aware that you might have to restart the game if there are some major bugs. We advise starting a new playthrough on Thursday if possible. You need to start a new game to play this release.

In this update, the biggest change in this update is detailed relationship tracking. It includes relationship statuses, an option to friend-zone characters, and detailed tracking of intimate interactions.

On the stats screen, you can now see the relationship status with all characters. They will start with staff like 'stranger' or 'coworker', and as you develop relationships, they will progress to more serious descriptors like "friend", "companion", "friend with benefits", or "girlfriend/boyfriend", and many more. Soon, those statuses will affect the dialogue – characters that aren't in an intimate relationship with you will tone down flirting, etc. Although keep in mind that early in the game, they still might flirt with you a bit, to test the waters. And some characters might be more persistent with flirting despite rejection than others (like a certain obsessive neighbor, for example).

From now on, the game will also track all intimate interactions between you and other characters. We track romantic, sexual, and some paranormal ones too (enthrallment, feeding on blood), and they affect the relationship statuses mentioned earlier, as well as dialogues. At the moment, the tracking is hidden from the players because we don't want to gamify intimate activities. Still, we're thinking about sharing some of the gathered information with the players at the end of each act.

Still, you'll experience the effects of the tracking firsthand. For example, when you have your first sexual interaction with a character that has status friend, you'll notice their status update to friends with benefits.

We're still testing and tweaking the system. We expect to release the final version on Thursday next week. This is the last major feature that was missing from the game before the release of Volume One, so now we're focusing on adding new scenes. Expect new scenes with Nova, Kayden, Emily, and Kurt on October 4th.
