Happy Valentine's Day everybody!
The next major update for Night Games is ready for release, and there's some great stuff here. If you are a Patron, scroll down a bit to access the download.
Obviously, we have Reyka and Eve's sprites done, which means that now all permanent opponents in the game have full sprite sets. This means we'll have some opportunity to add sprites from some of the secondary NPCs in the near future.
While I've been looking for a freelance graphic artist to commission, I decided to try my hand at some basic iconography. I've added some icons and effects to sprites to indicate status effects. They're off by default, but you can turn them on in the Options menu to see if you like them.
There's a simple, but very significant change to the way penetration stances work now. Sex stances now cause some guaranteed pleasure each turn in addition to whatever skills are used. The amount of pleasure dealt is based on the sex pace, which is controlled by the last Fucking skill that was used. Grind is slow paced, Thrust is medium, and Piston is fast paced.
I've also replaced all the Ex Skills with something I'm calling Adaptive Skills. Adaptive Skills have Mojo cost, just like Ex Skills, but they use your highest primary Attribute to calculate damage or success. This means that if you have mojo to spend, you have a decent version of the fundamental skills regardless of your build. This will make a lot of builds more viable.
Another big change is the titular Night Off each week. Sunday nights, instead of have a match, you have opportunities for longer events. There are only a couple events currently, but we'll have more added soon.
That is because we've been reaching out to find additional writers. As long-time supports probably know, I'm a very slow writer. I'm earmarking a chunk of our Patreon income each month to commission additional writing and boost our overall productivity. I've requested a single scene each from many freelance writers this month to get an idea of their style. If you particularly like any of the guest written scenes this update, let me know. It'll make it more likely I commission more work from that writer in the future.

If Exact Match Only is set, skill art will only show up when in combat with the girl depicted in the image.

The effects are going to be too cartoony for a lot of people, so I have them off by default, they can be enabled in the Options
