Hello everyone,
The 2024 Polishing Update Alpha 2 has been released. Everyone who processed a $10+ pledge in November should have received a DM with a link to it. If you processed a $10+ pledge in November but did not receive a DM, let me know.
FMG Life Sim 2024 Polishing Update Alpha 2 notes:
- Implemented a new Oriander artwork for Girlfriend Muscle Level 24, along with another general description, accessible from clicking her name in the Living Room.
- Enabled this image in the gallery.
- Experience Analyzer now appears in the footer (bottom) of the screen. Analyzer code and implementation has been changed so that things like the device triggering twice when both characters return from work at the same time won't occur.
- Experience Analyzer now has options in the options menu. You can choose to make it always display its full contents, or to create an expandable link, or to be disabled entirely.
- Skill experience added the Experience Analyzer
- Created a universal 'Experience Requirement' widget to replace the numerous checks in the game (this helps ensure uniformity if anything is changed about the EXP requirements)
- Modified the screen after finishing an activity together. Now there's a expandable link to click on doing something else together, along with a new expandable link to seamlessly switch into doing stuff separately.
- Further cleaned up amulet naming conventions and in the process fixed an unintended issue where it was possible to equip certain amulets to both characters at once.
- Added new options to the Options menu to allow disabling of 'cutscenes', including disabling specific types of scenes.
- Added new checks so multiple scenes for the same stat won't trigger. For example, if the girlfriend gained 20 levels of muscle at once, only the largest size scene will trigger. (This can save some tedium for those who use the test room or massively increase stats in one go by saving up potions/magic/etc)
- Changed 'backer locker' to 'supporter locker' and fixed the fourth locker so it should always yield an item instead of sometimes failing to.
- Girlfriend general description should now properly mention all of the current equipments in the game.
- When creating a custom player character, the number boxes are now filled with default stats.
- Height stat in the character creator now costs 0.25 per level instead of 0.3 per level, alleviating awkward left over fractional stat points - changed default player starting height to 26 to accomodate this. Also adjusted stat point amounts to compensate.
- Modified the starting stats of the custom characters on different difficulties - mostly making Easy stronger and Harder harder, especially for the player character.
- Added "Easier" custom character difficulty levels.
- Very easy character creation difficulties now requires completing the game or playing the supporter version to unlock.
- Consolidated the Harder and Very Hard difficulties into just "Harder" since they had few differences.
- Challenging Allison to Cyber Duelists will now grant reaction speed and intelligence experience, and can now only be done once per weekday.
-----
Next update will feature many more changes similar to these - general polishing. Aiming to release it in early December.
As always, thanks for your continued support and patience! Hope you enjoy everything to come,
Magnus
