Living in a Brothel - Patch Notes

We're very proud to announce that version 0.3.1 is here!
Check below which features were added to the game in each version:

Version 0.3.1:

New Content:

• 64 New Renders
• 25 New Animations
• 6 New Gallery Images
• 1 New Scene
• 1 New Song

New Features:

• Hide the Dialog Box: Now the keyboard H key, the middle mouse button and the gamepad Y button hide the dialog box, allowing the player to see the image or animation that is being displayed on the screen without anything getting in the way.
• Gamepad Support: You can now use gamepads to play Living in a Brothel.
  They depend on the Steam API to work properly. Therefore, gamepads only works in the Steam version.
  We recommend using the "Official Layout for Living In A Brothel - Gamepad Configuration" in Steam Controller Settings, but you are free to remap them as you prefer. Despite this, ingame references to gamepad buttons are based on this configuration.
• Steam Deck Support: You can now play Living in a Brothel natively on your Steam Deck.
  We adapted the game to meet Valve's technical requirements, so you should now be able to play on your Steam Deck without any issues.
• Walkthrough Button: A Walkthrough button will be displayed on the title screen if the game detects that the player has the walkthrough downloaded in the game/walkthrough folder.

Improvements:

• Help Screen: The help screen has been updated to show gamepad commands, if it's connected.
• Gamepad Glyphs Support: Tutorials and in-game spots that show buttons will now show the gamepad buttons if one is connected or the player is playing on the Steam Deck.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed an important bug where, when pressing the arrow keys on a screen where there is a Secret Card, it was revealed.
• Fixed a bug where, if the player changed the value of the "Text Speed" option, non-loopable animations would have an incorrect duration.
• Fixed a bug where, in some cases during a replay, the "Save Screen" was shown incorrectly when opening the Game Menu. The "History Screen" is now shown instead.
• Fixed a bug where the tooltip of the item for sale in the Item Shop did not remain displayed in the Android version.

Version 0.3.0:

New Content:

• 563 New Renders
• 65 New Animations
• 10 New Gallery Images
• 9 New Scenes
• 14 New Songs

New Features:

• New Game Mode: Photo Studio
• Steam Achievements: It's now possible to unlock achievements on Steam throughout the gameplay. (Steam Version Only)
• Ingame Achievements: An ingame achievements system has been implemented. It has the same achievements as Steam, but it's also accessible to users who purchased the game on other platforms.
• Achievements Menu: A menu showing all the achievements you've already completed and those still to be completed has been implemented.
• Results Screen: A screen showing progress in each aspect of the game will be displayed at the game's end.
• Item Shop: Now, when interacting with the Item Shop shelf, the items for sale will be displayed and can be purchased simply by clicking on them.
• Implemented Emoji Support: It's now possible to display emojis as text.
• Loading Progress Bar: Upon starting the game, a loading bar is displayed showing the game's startup progress. (PC Version Only)

Improvements:

• Notification System - New Icons: The old notification system icons have been replaced with new icons that better represent the displayed notifications.
• History Screen: It now displays icons, text colors, and emojis, being more faithful to what is displayed in the dialogs.
• Completion Bars: Now all screens have a completion bar showing how much progress you've made in relation to the total present in the game.
• Jackpot Count: Now the amount of times you hit a Jackpot in the Slot Machine Minigame is counted for each difficulty.
• The overall game size has been reduced: The game images have been compressed, so the game size has been significantly reduced, with a minimal loss of quality.
  This brings numerous advantages, such as faster file loading, which ensures a small performance boost, in addition to taking up less space on the user's device, which makes an important difference on mobiles.

Tutorials:

• A new Tutorial about the Photo Studio Mode has been implemented.
• The Inventory Tutorial content has been merged with the Exploration Mode Tutorial.
• The Gallery and Replay Tutorials have been updated to include the new features.

Fixes:

• Fixed a bug where when the last inventory item was selected and an item with an index lower than this was removed, the game would crash.
• Fixed a bug where the "Taking Care of Health" scene was unlocked in the Replay section before being completed during gameplay.
• Fixed the placement of the input player name box in the Android version.
  Before it was hidden behind the virtual keyboard, now it appears at the top of the screen.
• Fixed the dialog box placement in some cases where the text prevented the text contained in the images displayed in the tutorials from being properly seen.

Proofreading:

• A considerable portion of the English text displayed during Episode 1 has been revised and rewritten to better conform to the grammar rules of the English Language.
  This has also been rewritten to sound more natural to native English speakers.
