Hello, everyone!

Sorry for the lack of communication on Itch. I mostly give more up to date dev news on Patreon/Discord. Since the last week was hectic to say the least I was mostly focussed on developing NTR Mobile v0.20. Which is now available on Patreon. 

This version was special so developing this went a bit differently compared to past versions. Since NTR Mobile released with v0.10 I wanted to make v0.20 impressive. Holding v0.10 and v0.20 next to each other really shows the progress I have made and that fills me with joy.

The next free version is planned around the same release date as v0.21 which is TBA. Ok lets get into this kind of long patch notes.

NTR Mobile v0.20.2:

• Live ShareSpace. When you click on a ShareSpace notification it will open the live ShareSpace view. This way you can follow ShareSpace updates live without leaving the messenger app. It even updates and switches when needed depending on the ShareSpace post that is relevant to the chat at that time. Live ShareSpace does not support comments though, so please keep that in mind. (planning to add a dedicated button for this in a future update).

• Added a option to auto reply messages with a single reply. (You have to enable this in the settings app).
• Chats in messenger now have red dots to show where a chat is available.

• Multiple wallpapers (since there are about 530 images in game just having 1 wallpaper does not cut it).

• Two new ShareSpace profiles are added this release.

• Volume control for notifications (available in the settings menu).

• Notification system upgrade (now shows a preview of the notification content. You can turn this off in the settings menu if you enjoy a more mysterious approach).

• Image text in Images across the entire game. Some images got text added which you will see when viewing them or in ShareSpace posts. (In full screen mode you can click the text or just the image to hide this. If you want to remove it entirely you can do this in the settings menu).

• Added a 3rd speed option and upgraded the speeds overall to be 0.5 times faster.

• Increased super speed from 10x to 12x.

• Reworked the image system to be more efficient, support videos and future applications. This also solved a lot of bugs regarding images and the image gallery.

• System to upgrade your save to support the new reworked image system.

• Added "Don't show this message again" button to the start up message. (you could already turn this off in settings but now you can do it directly in the message itself).

• Added video / animation system. These systems are in place now to be able to load, play and preview videos/animations across all apps (example: ShareSpace, Gallery, messenger).

• Added animations (So originally I wanted 5 animations in this update. due to time constraints and other elements taking priority I had to limit it to 1. It is my first animated scene so please go easy on me).

• Updated/animated stats page.

• X-ray screen rework. (Still up for improvement)

• Save system rework. I reworked the save system to be more stable. Since it is more stable it now needs to save less often making it more efficient as wel. this also solves the chat history being deleted for your future runs (50/50 this will be solved for a existing save).

• Overall increased polish across the game. Numerous apps and UI elements in the game has gotten a needed polishing.

• Extra save occurrence added. Whenever you leave the messenger app the closed chat and game are saved. Just in case...

• A lot of optimizations. animations have gotten a 95% size decrease without sacrificing on quality and a lot of systems and apps in the game just fully shut down when not in use. (This does shutdown apps at the start of the game if you open them too fast. only happens once. Do keep in mind that Unity it self is a pretty heavy engine for a game like this so you can't expect Renpy performance. )

• Updated in-game comics to reflect a different style. Since Ishani is drawing a comic it should be in her own style.

• A lot of bugfixes. But a few big ones are:
  • Unable to progress if you buy nanobots at a unfortunate time (does not work retroactively).
  • Unable to progress at some events.
  • Image gallery not loading properly.

• And of course the story continues...

Huge and I mean HUGE thanks to my supporters on Patreon. There is no way that I would have gotten this far from v0.10 to v0.20 without their support. Cheers to them! 🍷
