Noemi’s Toscana Rebirth (NTR) v0.5.1 Public Rebuild – “A Touch of Mature Love”

Hello one and all! Hi there fans the world over! We’ve got another public release for y’all, a real sweet deal with Noemi and her girls! But that’s not all, it’s a whole rebuilt version in fact, as we’ve taken on the feedback of the last few months, improved our game features and balancing, now putting our best foot forward with inclusions to make v0.5 a tastier dish than before! See below the links for the version details and the list of additional improvements, but don’t get lost in the jargon… the real point is… Noemi’s ready to get some hands on her! And it’s all the better experience for it!

“This release, dubbed “A Touch of Mature Love” marks the fifth full game releases in the NTR branch of the beWilderverse. With Frankie, the most mature of our current cast of all the world, now on the team, Noe can get an extra pair of hand to help her revive the restaurant! She’s having to get her started on the job, as well as do a little team bonding along the way, but what’s more is with a reasonable(ish) lady on the team Noe can look at other areas of her life: first up, getting laid! Add to that an extra girl on the day’s roster to call upon in the Restaurant Manager gameplay, it’s another all round, all great updated on our hands! So you know that that means? It’s time to…”

… Enjoy our main course of Noemi’s Toscana Rebirth!”

Noemi’s Toscana Rebirth v0.5.0 – “A Touch of Mature Love” (Base Release)

With this update, another two and a half weeks have been added, bring us close to a full 2 months with Noe and Co so far (that’s 55 full days so you know). Again, we’ve pushed the main story further so we can be ever closer to the last of our top ladies joining the fray, but for the main part we’ve implemented our 3rd wonderful woman in Frankie! She’s got herself a place in the restaurant now, the gameplay too, and now even her own character arc too. Brad/True Love arcs get a boost too, and you’ll love to see this one no matter who or what kind of fan you are (Romance? ntr? You’ll like a little something here). It’s a serious update for sure!

- Technical information

⦁ Version: 0.5.0 (‘A Touch of Mature Love’ Release)
⦁ Weight: 719 MB
⦁ Weight Packed: 352 MB

- Content

⦁ 4 Full Scenes (for 24 Total). 

⦁ 53 New Scene Rendered CGs (for 293 Total)

⦁ Added 18 new days to the playable game time (now up until the end of Day 55 / Month 2 Day 25 - Saturday)

⦁ Added a new Tutorial Board toggleable pop-up in game. 9 Full Panels! 

- Features

⦁ Expanded the Gameplay sections to include Frankie, unlocked immediately after her training day scene. She is available to Waitress, Cook, Promote and take the Day Off at the player’s discretion, even starting with a nice bump in her Romance stat to allow her to be a real hand in the kitchen! With her added, strategies can become that much deeper and the gameplay is more of a challenge, should you care to undertake it!

⦁ Newly added Tutorial Board system, complete with all the in game info you’ll need to run the gameplay properly! 9 New panels with colour coded texts, symbols and pics to make it worth the viewing. Plus, Noe herself explains it all to us, so it’s good to hear her out! The game will automatically open the pages when new things are unlocked, but you can manually read the tips at any time in the gameplay scene.

⦁ Continuation of the Main Story arc and introduction of the Frankie arc, plus the continuation of the Brad/True Love.

⦁ [SPOILER] Noe joins a certain special club, now the first NTR girl to join with Natasha Romanov, Catwoman, Kate and Sam of Agents of Heels, that’s to say girls who have gotten themselves laid! Penetration to its fullest!

- Community Feedback

⦁ We’ve added a small but central note on our Save UI so that people can be given the heads up on our Save / Load labels. Since they share the same Slot and UI panel, you’ve got to aim low, real low, on the slot and click the label to get your save, and now the game tells you that directly.

⦁ Do to concerns of player confusion with the gameplay, we’ve taken on board people’s feedback and turned it into a slash of a tutorial read-out in game. Now it should be all clear exactly what’s what and why you are in charge of Little Toscana!

⦁ Thanks to feedback from players around the fandoms, we’ve made some small tinkering changes to balance out the gameplay as we go. Thanks to several people for this!

- Known Issues

We are thrilled to report that there are no known issues at this time. Please do inform us via message or our Discord server if you do come across any, we sincerely mean that.

Noemi’s Toscana Rebirth v0.5.1– “A Touch of Mature Love” (Rebuilt Release Additions)

In this rebuilt package, we’ve included Gameplay content, bug fixes and balancing efforts from NTR v0.6, plus VN feature improvements created for the Mini-VNs “Croft and the Coveted Seal” and “Kelsey and the City”. This makes the game easier to play, less grindy, overall more fun and user friendly. It does not add new scene content or playable days.

- Content

⦁ 8 New Gameplay Rendered CGs (for 67 Total)

- 4 New Restaurant Management Outcome CGs Total. 

- 1 Good Waitressing Outcome at 2nd level of Flirtation for Noe, Kriem and Frankie. These Outcomes are flirtier, and higher rewarding too. They are added to the pool of outcomes when Noe’s nerve is 4+.

- 1 Good Waitressing Outcome at base level for Frankie, putting her even with the other 2 girls.

- 4 New Noe Day Off Outcome CGs Total

- 1 New Poker Repeatable and 1 New Yoga Repeatable for Relax Mode, Unlocked at 2+ Competitive and Open Mind Respectively.

- 2 New Training CGs, 1 for Kriem’s Competitive and 1 for Frankie’s Romance, allowing them to train and increase their stats too.

⦁ Added a new Progress UI pop up to the Day Menu, showing the achieved/available scenes for all arcs, as well as simple unlock info for the next Main Story Arc Scene and the time remaining in the current game.

- Features

⦁ Expanded the Restaurant Gameplay section to include Second Level outcomes based on Noe’s Nerve for the Waitressing task. The new outcomes include more flirty situations, allowed thanks to Noe’s grown resolve to win, which in turn comes with higher base tips earned. 

⦁ Altered the formula used in the Promote task that takes the girl’s Competitive stat into account for the bonus to Rep Change. Instead of all point bonuses (+ for LT Rep Gained, - for SD Rep Lost) kicking in every 4 points, the effects are now staggered. Every 4 points of Competitive Stat from 2+ gives a bonus point to LT’s rep now (that’s at 2/6/10/14/18, up to the same +5 potential bonus per day), while the extra point off Sal’s Rep still kick in at every 4th point (4/8/12/16/20 for 5 extra points to take away). This means raising the Competitive stat is twice as rewarding in the gameplay sections as it was before. We continue to look into making every increase meaningful, but for now this major improvement is the first big step.

⦁ Expanded the Day Off section of the Gameplay to begin allowing for Kriem and Frankie to train their stats for the restaurant sections too. This initial test allows for Kriem to train competitiveness through Poker and Frankie to train Romance through cooking training (Visit Girls – A New Activity added). These stat increases can be used to improve their results in the management section of the gameplay, specifically in the Promote and Cooking tasks

⦁ Added a new UI Pop Up on the Day Menu. This new UI shows the total amount of scenes in the version for each character arc, as well as deeper details on the Main Story arc including when the next scene will play and what debt requirements it has. The character arcs that require Noe’s stats as perquisites (the non-waitress characters) also have an icon denoting the primary stat needed for them. This UI may well undergo some beautifying revisions in future versions, but for now the helping info should be all there. This is the first test of it. 

- Community Feedback

⦁ Thanks to reports of difficulty in unlocking scenes, primarily (we gather) from difficulty in keeping Noe’s debt down, we’ve removed almost all costs involved in her Day Off sections. Stat increases are now free (only costing the use of the day), and poker will only add to Noe’s earning, she can’t lose money playing (except in Character Arc scenes). Only Yoga still adds to the debt, but comes with a much bigger stress relieving effect compared to other options. This should mean it is much easier to keep Noe’s debt going down over time, and therefore keep the game pacing well. Thanks to several people for this!

⦁ We’ve increased the Typewriter effect’s speed by 100%, making the text reveal at twice the speed as before. As always, you can still turn off the effect completely with the ‘T’ key, as noted in the Keyboard Controls text file that comes with the game exe. 

⦁ We’ve added a Leap feature, a way of skipping/jumping whole scenes entirely or to the next choice if one is present, by pressing the ‘L’ keyboard key. This will allow for quicker/easier replaying of the game. It can be used on both Story/Character scenes as well as the repeatable Day Off scenes. To skip the Restaurant Outcomes scenes please use the Simulate button instead.

⦁ We’ve found and fixed a bug that caused the gameplay section to stall/freeze if players exited the game early and reloaded to attempt better results on a day. This means you can now properly load the game with needing to restart the program as a whole. Thanks to ThisIsMe88 for flagging this!

⦁ Updated Origin’s VN Engine based on feedback and improvements on previous releases of OS Mini-VNs and the Noemi’s Toscana Rebirth main game. The game includes the new features and keyboard shortcuts added to ‘Agents of Heels: Croft and the Coveted Seal’, including the x4 Skip (Left Ctrl) and the ability to move forward with Enter/Return and Space bar presses.

 ⦁ For the Mac version we've taken on board player feedback to do with the save system's warning notation for where to click on the Save Slots to trigger a Save or Load. It should now be cleared to click on the text at the bottom of each slot as it appears on hover. Thanks to Jack73 and others for the feedback! We will include this message redeux in future versions but it is included on Mac now as it was rebuilt for bug fixes (See below).

- Known Issues

 ⦁ We've found and seemingly quashed an issue in the Mac version's Save/Load system. This issue goes back several versions but its the first reporting we've hear of it. Now the linked build above for Mac should have a working Save system. Thanks to pantarei and ran46 for reporting, as well as Art for testing!
