Hello there, everyone!
Now I know I said I would take a 2 week vacation. But with how broken v0.24.0 is, and that same brokenness stopping me from publishing a free release, I decided to fix this first.
NTR Mobile v0.24.1 fixes a lot of issues y'all were experiencing. If you are just jumping in here without reading the post regarding v0.24.0 first, you can find it here: NTR Mobile v0.24.0!!!
I suggest you read that, since I will be leaving a lot of information that is in that post out of this one. There is an even bigger disclaimer ahead. Please read it.
!!! IMPORTANT PLEASE READ !!!
Most of the problems came from the save system, which was somewhat failing. I created a lighter save system to make the game use up less resources. However, in some conditions it completely shit the bed, so I had to add some safeguards to make sure that doesn't happen.
If your save got affected by this issue, I would suggest you roll back to a date where the save did not show issues. I personally still advise starting from the end of v0.22 if not from zero.
This does not magically fix legacy saves. It's still possible to use legacy saves (I got through it quite fine), however they might be buggy. You will also be giving up the following while you use legacy saves:
Accurate day markers and advancement.
The Timeline feature, which can bring you back to a day of your choosing.
Access to some new information that is available in the backup app.
Some stats will not be counted correctly.
Your game might just flat out lock up (happened to me a couple of times).
Future support, as support for legacy saves will drop.
I advise you to just go to settings, press factory reset, and start a brand new game to make use of all the features.
WAIT! THERE'S STILL MORE!
This update will not magically repair your stuck save. If you load a save that was stuck, it is still going to be stuck. It doesn't matter what caused it, whether it was a corrupted save or the conversion to the new dialogue format. Stuck in this specific case means stuck.
With the save system fixed, it should be safe to start over and use the timeline feature to go back to decisions you might have missed (at least that is how I do it, with a main save for every path containing all timeline dates).
This is not how I wanted it to go. Sadly, in trying to achieve my goal of making the game as light as possible, I might have cut some corners that should not have been cut. I am truly sorry for this.
Ok, time to go into the fixes for this release, because it is a lot!
NTR Mobile v0.24.1:
Save system
Added save guards to make sure saves don't get corrupted (especially when using increased speeds).
Fixed issues with unlocked apps not working correctly when loading a save.
Fixed issues with stats not being saved/applied correctly.
New saves now show the correct icons for the save (extra information was missing icons).
Fixed an issue where true MC POV was messing with the save system.
Fixed the save migration system failing on rare occasions and ruining the chat history.
Lilypad
Fixed Lilypad not appearing when accessed from the maps app.
Fixed Lilypad comics not unlocking in the gallery.
Fixed available Lilypad drinks not unlocking properly.
Leaked chats
Fixed leaked chats unlocking without buying.
Fixed ChatLogsAlfaJuliet not working.
Story progression
Fixed story not progressing on the NTR path.
Fixed story not progressing on the Happy path.
Fixed story not progressing on the NTRS paths.
Fixed story not progressing on the Lovers path.
Updated the dialogue system so it switches to the new format properly.
Visual fixes
Fixed the setup screen and age warning so they show correctly in landscape mode.
Updated portrait mode so it forces the game into portrait when selected in the settings app. It adds black bars to the sides if it has to.
Fixed the wallpaper so it isn't zoomed in when the parallax setting is disabled.
Gallery fixes
Fixed filter C also triggering CS.
Fixed filter S also triggering SC.
Fixed A not appearing in the filter list.
Cloud features
Added the option to remove downloaded content in the settings app.
Added the option to remove extra Patreon rewards in the settings app.
Added hardening to help with Patreon authentication. (Note: on some phones or weird niche browsers this might still fail. It seems to work correctly for most on Edge/Chrome.)
Patreon rewards
Fixed an issue where some extra images were not displaying properly.
Fixed Matt's card. (It should have been clubs. This only applies if you delete Patreon rewards via the settings first.)
Added an extra reward.
When you use this version you will be hit with a popup saying an update is available, even though there is a system that should take care of it. If you experience any issues, don't be afraid to use "Remove downloaded content" in the settings app and re-download your reward.
Now, about the issues with Patreon authentication. I added extra hardening to decrease the chance of an authentication call not going back to the game. Sometimes the OS (which can put the game to sleep) or the browser just refuses to do so. Edge and Chrome should work without any issues. If you are sent to the Patreon app instead, that will not work. Just so you know.
Again, my apologies. I would have had a fix out sooner, but I was hit by back to back weddings. Going into one wedding while being hungover from the last is something else. I don't recommend it at all.
Thank you all for being so awesome, and I hope you enjoy the new perspective the Lilypad app provides, as well as the short (but new) content.
Cheers to you! 🍷
