The Proteus Effect

v10.4 Includes 2 events: the Commercial District reopening ceremony (and tour) and the date with Ana. Even so, the story events themselves will probably take over 1.5 hours to get through, and if you go around and talk to everyone, it'll probably take between 2-2.5 hours. In addition, there are two basic outcomes and several different conversation paths in the date, so if you want to explore all those, you'll have to replay it a few times. You could spend considerably longer than 2.5 hours playing, depending on how much of a completionist you are. v10.3 N/A v10.2.3 Fixed some bug fixes that caused the game freezing, and added a whole new sex scene v10.1.1 Fixed bugs relating to Alex sprite appearance (not having the correct outfit displayed, etc) Fixed bugs in Character View (not displaying the correct image in status menu, etc.) Fixed issue with duplicates showing up in inventory Fixed issue with bouncer not letting you into nightclub Enchantments can now be detached Gems and enchants can now be applied to equipment without removing it first (in the item menu, you'll see a character's name next to equipment if it's currently worn. Use that.) Talent Show scene will no longer play if you're going for a "virgin route" (though you can still unlock it later in the recollection room if you did everything else to get it.) Shield Wall no longer halves healing received (this is a very old bug I somehow missed) Fixed issue with Cute Pajamas sprite not showing up in xmog interface v10.0.3 N/A v0.9.8 2 new H-scenes 7-ish quests, depending on how you count 1 (small) dungeon 2 boss fights 1 minigame New district Several new skits An autosave feature A vast number of fixed bugs Improved game performance (hopefully) Approximate new content playtime: 5-7 hours v0.9.2 "0.9.1 introduced a bug that prevented pre-0.9 saves from being able to load, and this release fixes that" v0.9.1 v0.9 Playable content: 2 new H-scenes 7-ish quests, depending on how you count 1 (small) dungeon 2 boss fights 1 minigame New district Several new skits Art: 60 new images (31 H-scene images, 29 character view images) Many new portraits Features and misc: New party member Added lighting effects Added game character view feature (press 'i' to toggle. Warning: This feature is a little wonky!) Added menu character view feature (on the Status menu) Xmog feature (he's on the 2nd floor of the Sorcerer's Society) Battle action sequences New animations New ability for Ana New equipment slots Default items for new slots (old saves should be fixed automatically) New boots for completing Celie's quest (chickens vs. frogs, awarded retroactively) Changed the way TP behaves for many characters Removed lots of exclamation points!! Got rid of level indicators Improved conveyance for cookie quest (there should be fewer 'WTF am I supposed to do?' moments.) Probably lots of stuff I missed v0.8 6 new areas with 31+ new maps 7 new quests 2 new minigames Ana texture revamp 1 new H-scene with 29 images Many new characters and skits Difficulty revamp for The Dark Pits Added Karathian Alarm Clock to help with getting nighttime H-scenes Bugfixes, other minor changes v0.7.1 Added small quest to familiarize player with easy modes Revised easy mode for The Dark Pits dungeon Added a map to the '10 bomb room' (AKA bomb puzzle room) Fixed a number of issues with the hospital minigame Various other fixes As you can see, this update mostly deals with easy modes. I'll talk more about why I felt that was needed - and about 0.7 generally - in my post this Sunday or so. Here's what's different in Dark Pits easy mode: The boss fight is only the first phase (and his HP has been adjusted accordingly) Easy mode skips the waterfall level and most of the long stream level Bombs should actually deal reduced damage (I don't think they did before >_< ) The new quest is pretty short; I just added it so there's some game mechanism that unambiguously lets players know that easy modes exist. You'll find the quest giver in Ogremarsh any time after you start the recruitment quest for the Bunnies. v0.7 Not available v0.6.1 Resolved issue that could result in player being stuck shortly after meeting the Bunnies by the dungeon Made Human Registration Card equippable (by Ana) Resolved issue that could cause unexpected Game Over after miniboss Party members should no longer leave unexpectedly in Jovi's imp quest area Glowfrog and Jovi's imp quests should behave more sensibly Hospital behaves as expected when re-entering after completing quest (Maybe?) Resolved issue that could cause post-hospital event to behave unexpectedly Fixed bugs in the party changing sequence outside of dungeon Changed the way saves are handled on macOS v0.6 The very beginning of a new dungeon (more about that below) 2 new multi-part H-scenes Bunnies now have conversation portraits (including 0.5.x conversations) Introduced the recollection room, which lets you see H-scenes you’ve previously unlocked New enemy art and aesthetic (and some animated ones) New healing minigame New abilities for Alex and Ana New combat classes and abilities A hidden repeatable boss! (How many times can you beat him?) Introduced a credits page New buildings and areas Lots more skits and dialogue v0.5.2 Bug fixes. v0.5.1 This hotfix is intended to address a game-crashing bug that occurs during one of the optional quests. v0.5 2 new H-scenes, one of which has 2 distinct variations 5 new quests New skits A (hopefully!) fun event at the end! A bunch of new characters Lots of new dialogue 2 new areas and 2 new building interiors v0.4: New city 3 new quests (But it's really like a single long one) 3 new H-scenes with 50+ renders Lots of new dialogue You'll probably get around 0:45 - 1:15 additional playtime (counting H-scenes), depending on how you play. Most of the content this patch (aside from the H-scenes) is related to a single, rather long (but hopefully amusing) quest. This update introduces Ogremarsh, which will be the quest hub for the next several updates. A fair number of buildings are currently closed, but they will be opening in future updates (0.5 should open most of the currently closed ones). So don't worry, Ogremarsh will grow progressively more lively as the Zameroth quest line continues. v.0.3.1 Changelog: Added feature: easy modes. Each dungeon (and also Celie's healing event) includes a torch near the entrance that can be used to toggle between easy and normal modes. In easy modes, generally speaking, you'll take less damage, stuff will move slower, and the things that are hard will be less hard. I doubt anyone will have a problem clearing easy mode content, but keep in mind there is a price! My plan is to have special H-scenes, probably one every 3-4 dungeons, that will only be viewable by players who have cleared the previous dungeons on normal mode. Note that I do not plan to penalize players who clear Celie's healing event on easy mode. Bugs fixed: Darin’s Mill soldier event now works properly if you leave town before its completion Player can now return to Elian and Celie’s after beating mountain dungeon (as intended) Player can no longer walk through some objects in Darin’s Mill Game no longer incorrectly tells player they’ve reached the end of content in Oswin’s tower Spider sprite fixed v0.3 New town New quests New dungeon 2 new H-scenes Lots of skits, dialogues, and NPCs I'm not aware of any serious bugs in this release, but there will probably be minor ones. One feature I didn't implement is easy modes - you'll get a crystal from either Oswin or Elian that is supposed to activate those, but those won't be in game until 0.3.1 or so. v0.1.3 NO NEW CONTENT THIS UPDATE! There were a few outstanding bugs I decided to address in a quick update. I didn't add any new content - the new content is going to be in 0.2, which you can expect before the end of the month. - Resolved issue that could interfere with scripted scenes in dungeon - Resolved issue that could trap player in barn - Various minor fixes v0.1.2 - No new content this update, but there were a few bugs that needed squashing, so I figured I'd get a new version out. v0.1.0 - Initial Release
