Version 0.12 - The Friend Update: The Sequel!


Version 0.12

Possibly one of the most image heavy updates so far this time around! Though to be fair, a fair chunk of those aren't of the lewd variety.

We're actually getting relatively close to the end of the 'plot' as it were, but this update in particular I decided to take a step back and flesh things out through the middle portion of the game. This meant a lot of focus on Mina's friends. You can now chat with them about various topics, with those topics changing and expanding as you progress through the game. You can also take them out on dates! This was fun to do and it will let me add new images in the future without writing out an entire scene which could be cool.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy!

  • Content Updates
    • Chatting with friends. This can be done when speaking to them during the day and at night. Some topics might even be more comfortably discussed in privacy in fact.
    • Dating Mina's friends! After you've found your first scene with any one of Mina's friends Jessica will offer to sell a Pretty Outfit. Buying this will let you suggest the idea and then take the girls out for a fun time. These can end innocently or not-so-innocently~
    • Complete overhaul of the Memories page. A much more intuitive screen that makes a lot better use of the screen space. It will also give you some idea where you might be missing scenes since it now shows if there are memories you haven't yet seen in any given category. And finally you can now bring up Homuncutie images from here as well.
    • There's a new Allaya scene, viewable once you've made at least two Homuncuties.
  • Fixes and changes
    • The Journal button will now show a notification if you've found a hint but not yet discovered the associated recipe.
    • Changed the way scene links are displayed. They'll now always show if there's any potion requirements underneath them, rather than only doing so on mouse over.
    • Disabled the automatic collection option of the Homuncuties. This was a big culprit for game slowdown so unfortunately it had to go. Remember to manually collect periodically!
    • Lowered the amount of stored history from 40 to 10. This should be more than enough and hopefully will also mean those long sessions don't get quite so laggy
    • Made an attempt to fix the Pit bug. Don't yet know if it will work as I've never been able to reproduce the bug myself.
