Release 12 | Game updates

🚨 Important: The game update is performed when the player accesses the phone and computer for the first time.

It is absolutely essential that when loading an old game, the player does so as quickly as possible. Preferably, load a save where Hunter is in the house screen, to access the phone before any other scene.

There is a small but possible chance of an error if the player loads a save in the middle of an ongoing story.

Much of the update was in the game code, so basically the player will not notice any significant changes... at least not ones that would apparently justify so much development time. 😕 But that's the idea, to make the change in such a way that people don't even notice it happened.

But of course, we have a lot of different new things, and I'll try to list everything that's been done.

✅ Phone

I made several changes to the way players interact with this feature, as well as adding new functionality and a new look.

▶ Instagram App

The app is now more dynamic. “Neutral” posts will be random and thematic, and may show other destinations or spoilers for future interactions. We will also have posts from Hunter's friends such as Cody, Mariah, and Louise. The idea is that new posts will be included over time as the story progresses.

Posts related to Luke have not been changed, and his story remains intertwined with these posts.

▶ Photo Gallery App

Completely redesigned. Now each character has their own gallery showing smaller previews of all the images included in their gallery. Clicking on the image will display it on the entire screen of the cell phone, allowing the player to navigate the gallery in full screen as well.

The number of images included for each character has increased considerably, reflecting the story's progress to date.

▶ Trophies App

Completely redesigned.

Now the player can filter their characters according to the profile of each story, whether sex slave or romantic relationship, for money or just sex.

A new cover image has also been created for each “target,” better reflecting what it means for that character to be in that gallery, while maintaining the same visual standard used in the photo gallery.

▶ Customize App

In this app, players will be able to change their phone's wallpaper and the transparency of the icons.

The character wallpapers now have a different style, showing a “realistic” version of each one. It simulates as if the player had taken a photo of the character in real life.

Reminder: The change in transparency takes effect the next time the phone is opened.

▶ Extra galleries that appear during the game.

Two galleries that are displayed at specific moments in the game have also been redesigned.

One shows the characters available to be models on the Masked Studs website, and the other shows the slaves available to be sold to Mr. Harold. Both now have the same pattern as the trophy gallery, with the filter already locked in the appropriate category for each situation.

✅ Computer

The user experience for this feature has been completely revamped. Now, when entering this area, players will see a “home screen” simulating a computer monitor, and will interact with it in the same way they would with a real computer, clicking on icons to access content and exiting the screen using the shutdown button in the lower corner.

▶ Browser

Where players will initially unlock the Masked Studs website feature and then be able to browse some additional content. The idea is to include new “websites” over time.

▶ Masked Studs

The masked models' website has been redesigned to fit the new style of this area. Now the player will be able to navigate between the various screens of the site without having to switch areas via the game menu.

To go to a specific area, just use the “site menu” on the left side, and to exit the site, use the button at the top right, just like any real-life website.

▶ Video Gallery

Completely redesigned. Players now have access to several new videos from various stories that were not previously available in this area.

To watch, just click on the video thumbnail in the gallery. You can return to the home screen by pressing X in the upper right corner or when the video being played ends.

▶ Background

This feature did not exist previously. Now players can change the background image on their computer screen. At the beginning of the game, there are only three image options available, but as the stories progress, new images will be added.

The images are realistic representations of the game characters. I spent days refining each one so that they would visually represent how I really imagine they would look in real life. I hope you like them. 😎

✅ Skills

For now, the only skill available for advancement is basketball.

Its representation used to be very simple. Now, in the upper left corner, players have an image with a progress bar indicating how much they have trained and how much they need to advance to the next level, as well as the character's current level of advancement in that skill.

In the future, new skills will follow the same pattern.

✅ General changes to the stories.

▶ Numerous changes have been made to the text displayed in many parts of the existing stories.

Changes aimed at greater clarity in the idea being discussed or making conversations shorter and more natural.

In several of them, huge chunks of conversations have been updated/improved... but this will only be noticed when starting a new game.

▶ In Isaiah's story, in the part where he bets the player on a basketball game... the scoreboard has been visually improved. Now each player's points appear on the screen at all times, as if it were a real scoreboard.

▶ Also in his story, in the scene where Isaiah loses the bet and goes to Hunter's house to “be a slave,” the player has the option to choose whether to collect the bet until the end or let him go, thus paving the way for a relationship. Previously, if Hunter won the bet, this option did not exist.

▶ In all the stories, thousands of typos, dialogue bubble placements, and situations where the dialogues displayed on the screen did not reflect the true conversation history due to a targeting error have been corrected.

That's all I can remember for now... if there's anything I've forgotten, I'll comment below. 😎
