Rogue-Like 1.6e (We're getting there) (Patreon)
Content
This should fix a bunch of different bugs.
-It should prevent one cause of Out of Memory issues, which would occur in open spaces like the pool or campus when it would try to add more than a few girls into the background. These areas should now cap out at three in the back. There are other reasons people are encountering OoM issues, and I don't have much I can do directly to solve these. After this build settles down, I want to try a "debug" release that will not contain any new content, but will have certain options that might or might not help, and people who are experiencing these problems could see if anything helps.
-I also added an ability to the shops in the mall, allowing you to shop there without the girl being present. Not all items are available this way, but at least the basics are. I'll continue to expand the mall options.
-Fixes a bug in the random events mechanic that was blocking certain interactions, such as "jumping" from activating.
-Should fix a number of "while loading image" errors in certain poses, as reported in the previous build thread.
-Various other random typos and situational bugs cleared out. I have a few other things I'd like to get done here, so there will likely be a version f before I wrap it up, but this should hopefully clear up the big stuff without causing too many new problems.
Ok, this one's coming in hot. Seriously, don't bother with this build unless you like to bug test, because if this one works smoothly, it's a miracle. Not only is a new girl being added, which always includes areas where I forgot to update some function or other, but I also did some rather significant "under the hood" changes that will hopefully make the game run a bit faster overall, but might cause some other issues. So if you want to find problems with these changes, go for it, but if you just want to enjoy playing the game, I would recommend waiting for at least a week or two for the bugs to be found and sorted out.
If you do find bugs, please report them to me, either in this thread's comments, or in a direct message. If there's an error message, please include that error message in your post. If there's not an error message, it really helps to have exact wording of dialogue before/after the bug, so I can narrow down the exact scenario being played out.
But what is in version 1.6?
- Wanda is added, with various clothing options, relationship interactions, story content, any sexual interactions that can be done standing up, and hand stuff. What is not included? Her BJ, TJ, doggy, 69, or missionary sex poses or content, and her Halloween content. These will be added in over subsequent updates. You should be able to find her after meeting Betsy.
- Rogue's 69 pose. Like with Betsy and Doreen, this can be accessed by both giving and receiving oral sex several times. You might find some other surprises here. Other girls will be getting a 69 pose in future versions.
- Relationship event system changes. It used to be that all characters would be checked to see if they wanted to do a relationship event (ie confessing love for you, or something like that), every time you moved around anywhere. I made some changes to instead only make this check once per time block, and then activate the event where appropriate. On the player side, this should not be a massive difference, but might hopefully speed scene loading up a bit. It's got a lot of potential to cause trouble though, so let me know if there are characters where you aren't hitting their milestone scenes where you expect to, or you get too many or too few of these scenes relative to previous playthroughs, or any other feedback you might have on these systems.
- I finally figured out how to use a different mechanic to display characters, and have at least partially implemented it. If it works out, I plan to do a bit more, and I'm not sure what difference it might make on your end, but it can simplify some stuff on mine, so I'm very excited. :D Just let me know if you're finding cases where you think a character should be appearing but they aren't, or should be leaving the screen but they aren't or something weird like that. This would mainly apply to standing character sprites, but any graphical glitches could be related.
