NWoT 0.10c Diplomacy Edition

0.10c update:

New bug at the conversation with the invader. If you have Mary on your team and decide to stay behind, it skips the ending and jumps to the options as if you had run away from the darkness ball. Fixed now. Just replace the hie.rpy with the one attached here. Will be fixed for all devices in the next version. This was caused by an indentation mistake on my part. Sorry about this. Thanks to those that let me know about this problem.

 Uploads done for all devices. Enjoy! 

0.10b update changelog:

Sorry it took so long to fix. I had to go to the mall to check on your comments and messages, return home to fix the problems, then go back to the mall to upload only to discover there were more problems, so I returned home, fixed those and now returned to the mall to upload it. I feel like I live in a mario kart race haha. Well, that took forever to finish, but it's finally over. Sorry it took more 3 days to update this, but everything should work now.

Old saves won't work anymore. Sorry about this.

added choice at the beginning to input relationship with Val and Mary. Now you can play as you want. If you want them to be your military commanders or pirate crew, you can put it. Or if you want something that the rules of patreon frown on, then I really can't stop you. Can I? As long as you follow the rules of nouns in each question, it should stay grammatically correct in the game. (I think...) It's a little annoying, but that was the only way to include 'anything' in the game. Thanks to centerflag982 for the idea. Let me know if any sentence reads weird at some point.

added choice to play with animations or play with static pictures at the beginning. Tested it in all scenes, worked for me. Let me know if I missed something.

Changed videos. Now they are .mkv made with vp9 and mp3 codecs.

added music in the video instead of a video and music running in parallel.

fixed videos covering textbox, which looked as if the videos where stuck in a long loop, by putting a transition before each of them played. Now you should see it as it was intended. A video looping behind the textbox, while your clicks pass the messages. No more waiting for videos to end to keep playing, no more chunks of story missing. Let me know if this doesn't work in any scene.

fixed variable error in Val's handjob scene in hiehie's dream sequence. It happened if you went through violet's route instead of Layla's. It actually crashed but, as above, the video covered the crash screen so it looked like it just froze there. Thanks to everyone who reported this. You guys really helped me find what was actually wrong. 

fixed the same error in hiehie's fucking scene.

In 0.10 I tried to pack the files in an .rpa with hopes that it reduced the file size and then forgot about it. This update also removes that, since it doesn't do anything for size. Next fixes shouldn't require the down/upload of everything. Which means you won't have to wait hours after I finished fixing it to be able to play it.

Fixed Kayla's picture not disappearing after the garage scene. Thanks to Steve Ray for telling me about it.

I think that's it. I wrote a changelog this time but I can't find it now. Still, if you have any problems tell me about them and I will fix them. Thank you all for playing!

First the links:

Android: 

Arm 0.10b: http://www.mediafire.com/file/r7zpbwy1s0w09t9/n.w.o.t-1-armeabi-v7a-release.apk

X86 0.10b: http://www.mediafire.com/file/3avweg0r2lwwy82/n.w.o.t-1-x86_64-release.apk/file

For some reason, renpy now makes 2 android packs instead of one like before. This happens now, after I updated, and I still have no idea the exact reason. Logically speaking, it looks like they are for different OS or different devices, but I'm not sure. If anyone knows, let us know. Still, I tested the armeabi one in the tablet I tested the other versions and it ran correctly. If you don't know what this is, and you could run the older versions, use that one.

Update: I discovered it's for different devices as I thought. If in doubt, use the Arm one.

Mac 0.10b:

Guess who became friends with the old people at the mall while leeching on the Wifi? Me!

I still don't have internet at home, so I haven't been able to answer your messages until today, but it's been more than a year after I was able to post a version of the game so I decided to just start making the individual routes and publishing after each one is completed. At least until I can find some way to get stable internet at home to publish monthly again.

Also, I couldn't get the mega uploads to resume... I could've swear I could before, but for some reason it's not working for me these past few days. I would be extremely thankful if someone could upload the game files to Mega.nz and share them here. With the constant interruptions, disconnections, the general upload speed being so slow while using the free Wifi and the fact that this game is now bigger than the size of ILD last version, I had to give up. After trying to upload it to mega for 2 days, I gave up and decided to just upload it on mediafire. I know a lot of you prefer mega to mediafire, so my apologies for this. I hope I will be able to post mega links soon.

I noticed a lot of people got confused about the old development links of ILD while I couldn't log in. Since the version numbers were higher than the version numbers from NWot, a lot of people tried to download them and found them to be dead. My apologies for this. I hadn't updated the featured tag in a while, thinking it did so automatically, which lead to this problem. This is fixed now, since I had to erase all the past posts about ILD. This was done because that game was in violation of the rules now (Incest theme). I will leave the files in both mega and mediafire, but I don't think I can share them publicly in here. Still, the game is shared in various pages and forums, and feel free to ask me for the links and I will be happy to send them to you as soon as I can. Also, if you want to share them around, just in case someone wants to play it still, I would appreciate it. Right now, though, all links in this page are from NWoT. In short, no more problems with that now. Just follow the numbers to the latest version, although I will also update the tag now that I know I have to.

It's also important for me to apologize about the lateness of this update. I originally wanted to publish before a years after the hurricane was done but even as I rushed, I finished the route with 2 days left to that deadline. After bug testing, grammar checking and uploading, I just couldn't make it before that. I'm sorry it took me more than a year to publish again.

Also as important, thank you all. Thank you to those of you who have continuously stayed as my patrons, those of you who stayed as my patrons for a few months, and those of you who became my patron lately. I owe you my life. Thank you to all of you who will play my game, your interest is what keeps me going. To everyone reading this, thanks for reading my ramblings. I really hope you enjoy this update as much as I enjoyed making it. I really, really missed working on the game, and I'm really happy that I managed to publish this version and that you all get to play my game again.

Now its time for the 

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SPOILERS!!!!!!!!

Fixed a lot of grammatical mistakes. Probably missed like a million more...

Changed the relationship with Val and Mary. Now they are the main character's step-sisters by marriage. I hope this makes the game compliant with the rules of Patreon.

Second meetings with Violet and Layla scenes.

Tease scene with Val in the shower. She will tease you more, or less, depending on what you did while she spied on you.

Bj Scene with Val in a school dream caused by Hiehie. 

Bj/Fuck/Creampie scene with Hiehie. 

2 new characters.

2 Endings (Secret route.)

A bunch of new bad ends.

New Sound effects, New music. Changed the music from the intro scenes of meeting the 'neighbors'.

Since I wanted to publish as soon as possible and the secret route was the shortest, I did it first. While it was supposed to be harder to get, it serves as a little backstory for the game and it explains things about the other routes that aren't in the game yet. It can be thought of a sort of true ending. Accessible from Layla's second meeting.

Since the game now has videos, I had to turn off hardware decoding so that it would play as it should in android devices. This means it might lag for a few seconds before starting in your device. It will run if you give it a second though. I can only hope it still works if I use longer videos in the future. But, for now at least, I couldn't find a workaround this. PC and mac users shouldn't see any effect from this, but let me know if something goes wrong.

A bunch of bugs I missed while testing because I made a lot of scenes and added them all instead of checking each one individually while adding them... Probably.

A bunch of things I forgot to list here because I made a lot of scenes instead of creating a changelog while I was adding them... Maybe?

As always, if you find bugs, mistakes, errors, problems or anything annoying. Let me know and I will fix as soon as possible. Thanks again for playing, and enjoy!
