HardLife v0.26401 (content preview)
Added 2018-12-28 11:27:36 +0000 UTC2 New Transformative Items available in Parkhaven
* Oil of Engorgement (enlarges target metrics)
* Oil of Withering (shrinks target metrics)
Both can be applied to:
* Biceps (& triceps)
* Forearms
* Quads (& hamstrings)
* Calves
* Chest (& lats)
* Waist
* Hips
* Pecs
* Tits
Will add support for other regions as they are implemented... but the above metrics have partially shifted into the new metrics data-structure... enough at least to allow for modifiers like the oil effects.
Metric calculations have been greatly revised so that early gains are much more noticeable, and late-game gains don't get too crazy (especially with height gains). Values are now much more inline with expectations. (a big part of the problem was circumference scaling was being done with squared falloff logic instead of linear.)
The Content-Filtering toggles for Height-Gain and Breast-Expansion content have been modified to reduce gains to 0.1% (1/1000th) rather than disabling the height and bust gain/transfer altogether. This is much more inline with intended gameplay... subtle shifts in height and bust over time in normal play mode, with the option to focus more on said content in so desired. (this was the behavior already seen in the height-gain effect of AMA-Zone... and, speaking of, it now also has a slight bust-gain as well)
Workout and Surge gains (as well as Life Shard generation) have been roughly tripled, to bring them inline with other means of training and the effort involved. (overall training had been slowed somewhat in the previous release for game pacing)
New Cheat:
"DND Mode" - Do what you want, without interruptions. (disables random encounters)
Fixed the scaling/zoom on hover for item cards, so that the open down and toward the left, preventing them from being cut off in most cases... and eliminating the extra padding at the top of the food menu.
Experimenting with the built-in dialog system (the oils use it for region selection)... new dialogs will be added soon, starting with the re-implementation of the karma-spending system. (note: there is a plan to change from the high-point, low value karma units to more significant units that can be spent as single points- more in-line with the level and stat values, but that may not go into effect until the new UI)
The only thing holding up the public/stable release now is the support for the vampire encounter in the park.
P.S. Please note that the updated metrics will cause bugs with slaves from older gamesaves, you may not be able to heal/drain them or use the new items on them.
