I always dislike releasing updates that don’t contain a significant amount of new playable content, but sometimes it’s necessary for me to focus on stuff you can’t see. To give you at least something to enjoy, this update contains one randomly triggered encounter when you visit the SynTech location.

While you can currently only experience the encounter as a guy, I’ve also implemented the female experience (note: there’s one GIF used in both the male and female version of the encounter that should technically be used only for the female version – I haven’t been able to find a good alternative for the male version). This is something I will be doing a lot from now on, so I wanted to practice on something smaller first.

Besides the random encounter, I’ve been working on a new avatar system, one that will reflect each of the 5 possible stages of the player character’s male -> female transformation. The code is almost ready, and I now just need to generate a good set of avatar images. To give you some idea, here’s an early test (this character image set won’t be used):

The new avatar system will be available in version 0.1.5, and it will likely feature only one or two sets of character images to choose from. To make up for the limited number of avatars, I will add support for custom avatars so that you can add your own images to the “imgs” folder. Maybe some members of our Discord community will be able to come up with something amazing. If so, I would be more than happy to include their creations in the game as “official” avatars.

Changelog:

• Fixed a few typos and poor word choices here and there.
• Added a random encounter when you visit the SynTech location (1 in 20 chance of happening). Hint: you need to be infected with AVA for the encounter to get naughty.
• Done some preparatory work to implement a new avatar system (will be included in the next version).
• Implemented several custom macros to change various stats.
• Made the AVA minigame far easier to reuse.
