Pies & Apples [Ongoing] - Version: 0.03

What's New in Pies & Apples Version - 0.03?

Graphic:
All outdoor locations have been changed to more old school ones. (In the next updates we will update the interior locations).
All images improved + new ones added.
All sprites and their animations have been improved + new ones have been added.
All item icons have been updated.
The menu and other screens have been changed.
The portraits have been changed, but only the variant in clothes. The next update will be all the rest.
(If you like the older version better, you’ll find this in the “Old Portraits” folder). Move with replacement.
ATTENTION! Old portraits do not include new emotes and characters. We will be adding them…very gradually…).

Gameplay:
Added shops.
Some things (especially “specific ones”) only appear depending on the character, which you are currently playing (such things have a dark color in the name).
Some things appear depending on your “Dark Reputation” among the “Dark Persons” (while in development).
Some things appear depending on your Curiosity level (maybe we will change “Curiosity” to another name in the future).
Some items (especially “specific ones”) can only be bought with “Rare Coins” (Royal Coins).
Next to the price you will see the currency icon (Big coin – “Rare coins”, small coin – common money).

World:
Study each location carefully. You can find rare coins and other things (Question mark above character’s head).
But sometimes there will be no question mark, because some places are visible visually.
Now sometimes you will be able to play other characters of the group. Each character has their own worldview and its own character, so the dialogues and reactions to the environment, etc. change depending on the character
which you are currently playing.
You can also find some items or events only by playing a certain character.
Added some “Dark Persons”.

Improvements:
There are no more incomprehensible moments in the orc cave.
Some controversial points have been redone for better understanding (but in any case, READ THE DIALOGUES, everything is there written and there will be no questions to the developer).
Fixed music and sounds + added new ones. It is also planned to leave only the key sounds of the voice, that players are used to, changing the rest and adding new ones so that each character has its own timbre votes (in future updates).
Save locations have been changed. The raven flew away and was replaced by a parrot). Now he has animation and voice.
Save location’s board now says “Save”.
The sound in the game is increased! You will be able to adjust this in the options.
Added several new locations.
The beginning of the game is slightly expanded.
Several new NPCs have been added.
Now, if the night has come, all locations change to the night version visually and not only (previously in Kaise’s house was always light).
Title screen changed.
A new option has been added to Martha’s guest book (now there are 2 of them). We remind you that options are always “Russian roulette”). They are random, it is impossible to know in advance which option will turn out. Try it).
In the future, there will be more options and not only with Martha and not only in one location.
In the next updates, the book image will be drawn beautifully.
Added different “Game over” endings (still in the test phase, we want to show this to the players and see tips/reviews etc.)

ATTENTION!:
At the beginning of the game, as always, you can choose a version of the game with skipping some scenes or with all scenes.
Both versions are the full version of the game, not cropped. Because the choice only concerns some scenes and images, but the events are only slightly different so that there is logic.
For example, if you choose to skip scenes, but the character in the skipped scene receives an item, you still can get this item but in a different way or in a different place.
Many events have been slightly changed and supplemented / expanded.
Genies are removed and Rocky’s homecoming scene is changed. But this idea came at the last moment before release and I did not have time to implement the full version (draw some art), so in the next update this point will be slightly expanded.
The Options menu is back to normal, but I removed the Always Dash button. There are several reasons, this affects visuals and sounds.
For the same reason, I disabled scrolling with the mouse.
Now the finds (coins and things) differ in sound.
The items used also differ in sound. The sound when the player eats, drinks, bites an apple (for example).
Improved and added new ambient sounds.
Button and mouse acceleration was always disabled. The game has the sound of steps and if you do not speed up, then the steps turn into “Shhhh…” while the player or events are moving.
Added a lot of interactions with the environment for each character.
Reworked Kayse’s quest “Wild Honey”, now “HoneyLiker” needs to be used only once. bees
added sound gradually fading as you approach / move away from the bees.
Bees now have the correct animation.

Made at the request of the players:
Added futa NPCs.
It is currently possible to exchange various fetish items for rare coins (this will be expanded in future updates).
Added names to messages.
Women’s and men’s names differ in color.
The text of some messages has been changed visually. It’s just weird when a character says every phrase aloud).
Therefore, now it has been converted into thoughts (For example *I would drink coffee* – thoughts, Thank you for coffee! – phrase). The color has also been changed.
Added test combat system. Nothing special so far (just click-click and win), it’s just added to the places where it should have been.
There is only one enemy so far (well… he is a plot lol).
Visually, the fights look old school and the characters will be animated (in the future).
The game now has a world map.
So far, only a few locations can be visited.
Depending on situations, reputation and character, different events will appear on the map (Still in the testing stage!):
eye icon – you can see the scene. Sometimes it can give you reputation, Curiosity, or you can get something. But sometimes… “Game over.” There is a choice, you choose “Yes” or “No”).
(Enemies, merchants, NPCs, etc. will also appear on the map in future).
The story line continues, but not much. Now that all the main work is done (finally!) we will to focus mainly on the story line.

Old saves of course won’t work in this version, too many changes.

Postponed for the following updates:
Images.
I didn’t include Kaise at night, Martha sleeping in the toilet, and Martha’s panties in this update.
I drew it, but at the last moment I decided to redo it. For the same reason, the image remasterhanging jenny is also not included in the update.
Sometimes you will see “In next updates” messages. As a developer, I always have toexplain to people why there is no picture here and why it is impossible to go to some places and the main question
“Is this the end of the update or did I search badly?”. I decided to save my time and yours).
Translation.

We promised that from this version the game will be in three languages:
English,
Russian,
Portuguese.

Guys, it will most likely be in the next version. The problem is not in the translation process, but in the game system.
Do you see crisp pixelated text? That’s the way it should be. We specifically found a way for such a text. But unfortunately, only the English font is displayed this way. Any other looks normal, blurry, nopixels and large. This problem is solvable, as one person told us, so we will keep the promise most likely in the next update.
While everything. Neon Night wishes you a pleasant game and… SAVE OFTEN!).
