Thank you to everyone who tried out the first build and for all the feedback. It helps a lot! To be entirely honest, I didn't expect that that many people would actually try it in less than a day when I uploaded it at 6 AM in the morning after an all-nighter. My sincerest gratitude to all of you!

This is a small patch as I ready up the last of my application requirements. Some small fixes that hopefully make everything less frustrating. Next patch will hopefully add more combat related content.

Head over to the Google Docs version if you'd like to read the patch notes in a better format: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fjCDdQL-Qzjp1yg2toBXOpjF0nD-GtvsqeOzHWfvw4s/edit?usp=sharing

NEW CONTENT

Conversations

Fight-Bot VR-A230

BUG FIXES

Conversations

Axel
Fixed a broken link in Axel’s conversation tree for the first day which caused it to end intermittently.
Fixed certain dialog choices that were appearing despite being unavailable.

Fight-Bot VR-A230
Fixed a bug in the link for the cyberware shop that rendered it inaccessible from the Fighter Profile Network.
Hid a dialog that wasn’t meant to appear when unavailable.

Skye
Fixed an error that made the notification for the outcome of playing chess with Skye to appear at the bottom left of the screen instead of the center.
Fixed a bug that would allow you to play chess with Skye even after you’ve run out of energy.
Fixed a typo in one of Skye’s dialogs on the second day that caused the text expansion code to show instead of the intended string.
Fixed an error with Skye’s chess interaction that stopped it from increasing the relationship link with her after said interaction was completed a certain number of times.


Combat

Rooftop Rumble
Changed the position and AI setting of melee opponent to avoid combat turns where he gets stuck.
On death in VR, you will now be transported back to the prison cells to just before you queued up for the fight, in order to avoid getting stuck in the arena.



MISC. CHANGES

Gameplay

Removed starting equipment for new characters. They are now awarded with ¥2,500 instead to use at the Fighter Profile shops upon first interaction with Fight-Bot VR-A-230.
You can now lose a fight in the arena, although the day will not advance if you do. The consequences of losing a fight will be added later. For now, it will just make you retry.

Conversations

Fight-Bot VR-A230
Added accompanying text to Fight-Bot’s first conversation thread to notify players of the starting bonus and to remind them to buy equipment and equip it from Fighter Profile Network before their first fight.
Slightly changed Fighter Profile Network conversation thread for less clutter after the addition of the equipment screen.

Skye
Added a tag to indicate the energy cost of playing chess with Skye.
Attempting to play chess with Skye when out of energy will now notify you of having insufficient energy and display your current energy.
A notification pops up now when you increase your relationship link with Skye by playing chess with her enough times.

First build uploaded. This is a very early version of the game. Refer to the concept document for more information.
