A Lot of Ways [Ongoing] - Version: 0.1.9

What's New in A Lot of Ways Version - 0.1.9?

Adjustments
– Progression Requirements – Rebalanced the stat requirements on the later Netori steps so they scale up gradually from the earlier ones instead of spiking; steps that previously asked for a stat of 12 now ask for 6
– Scene Playback – Fixed an Emily Netori scene that pointed to video files which had never been finalized, causing the sequence to play back broken
– Quest Availability – Several steps shared a location and time window with a higher-priority step, so the game always resolved the other one and they could never be reached. Six steps were affected, including the whole opening of Sophie’s and Olivia’s Netorare tracks. Their windows have been moved apart and every step in both routes is now reachable
– Scene Triggering – Steps meant to arrive by message were instead firing anywhere in the world at any hour, dropping you into the wrong scene at the wrong time of day and blocking other girls’ steps from ever resolving. They now only arrive the way they were written to
– Message Delivery – Quest conversations were delivered on a timer that was never saved, so closing or reloading the game in the moments after finishing a step could lose the message for good and strand a chain with no way forward. Pending messages and unanswered replies are now kept in the save and restored on load, without duplicating threads you already received
– Phone Text – Some messages showed a placeholder instead of your name

Assets
– New Media – Introduced 3 new Netori scenes: one for Emily, one for Rose and one for Sophie

– Emily – New Netori scene extending her chain past its previous ending, set in the living room in broad daylight with the rest of the house awake and one room away
– Rose – New Netori scene extending her chain past “Lunch Break”, her first new step since the route overhaul, and the first time she comes to you instead
– Sophie – New Netori scene picking up after “The Shoot”, delivered to your phone the way the rest of her chain is, and the first time her route goes anywhere near the room she shared with your father
– Netori Progression – All three chains now continue past the point where they previously stopped
