Degrees of Intimacy [v0.7]

v0.7

• Continued the story: I wrote weeks 22 through 24, every day, with all the paths and choices. A federal Title IX inspector named Bertram Halloran shows up at the Dean’s door with six weeks of surveillance photos, and the group spends the next three weeks fighting him. It goes badly for a while. In week 23 the circle moves underground into the back room of a bookshop, and week 24 is where it all comes to a head.
• A Choice That Lasts All Week: Week 22 opens with a choice between refusing Halloran in public or going along with him in secret. The game remembers it for the rest of the week, and the scenes and what follows change with it. Some scenes in the new weeks also depend on your stats. For example, Helen invites you to her apartment for the first time, and how that night goes depends on where her stats stand.
• Estefany’s Story: Estefany finally has scenes of her own, six of them across weeks 22 to 24.
• Animated Scenes: For the first time, some of the sex scenes are animated. There are 22 looping animations in weeks 22 to 24. For the public release I remade all of them with a better animation model, and they have sound now too. Let me know if you like them, because I want to add them to the rest of the game in the next versions.
• Sound Effects: The sex scenes in weeks 23 and 24 now have sound, and they’re a lot more vocal and explicit than anything in the game before.
• Italic Narration: Narration and inner thoughts now show in italics instead of sitting inside parentheses. This also fixes a bug where many of those lines, almost every one in weeks 20 and 21, showed up with double parentheses.
• Gallery Update: Weeks 22 to 24 are in the gallery now, which adds about 180 scenes. It still fills in from your existing saves.
• Around 400 New Images: There’s new scene art for all three weeks.
• Dialogue: I went through the dialogue of all 24 weeks again. A lot of lines sounded stiff, so I rewrote them until the characters sounded like themselves again. The sex scenes in weeks 22 to 24 got a second pass on top of that, to bring back the feel of the early weeks.
• Images: Almost 300 images in weeks 11 to 24 are remade. Some had the wrong skin tone, and in some the guy had earrings or lipstick. Others had outfits and accessories that changed from one frame to the next, or showed the aftermath before anything had happened.
• Text matches the images: I checked every sex scene from week 1 to week 24 against its images, and wherever the text described something different from what’s on screen, I fixed it. Week 14 had a bunch of lines where the screen showed Katherine but the text talked about Evelyn, and those are fixed too.
• Smaller fixes: Helen is no longer described with glasses she isn’t wearing, and the narration stops calling Evelyn “Professor Reed” in places where it made no sense anymore. There are also bug fixes across weeks 2 to 21.
• Stats: A couple of choices needed stat levels that were almost impossible to reach, and a few stats were never actually used for anything. The requirements are fixed now, and those stats matter in week 24.
• Saves: If an older save can’t load where you left it, the game now starts you at the beginning of that day instead of showing an error.
• Smaller download: The game is about 1.7 GB now instead of 2.2 GB.
