Supermodel Update 9 - Intimate Interview


Edit: This update was originally uploaded with debug settings enabled. These can and will cause crashes or corruption to your persistent data for the game. The old links have been invalidated and replaced with new ones. If you already downloaded the game and can see Save/Load options in the main menu, please re-download using the links below. As tempting as these debug options might seem, they are extremely dangerous to use.


This update has been a long time coming, I know. Because of poor planning, every possible challenge came together at once, making the most demanding update to this game to date. This one has everything: a new model with the associated cards and music, demanding story chapters (I think I'll explore the writing process for these in a separate post later), new characters, sex animations... Suffice to say, it all added up really fast. Still, it's over now, and we can move on to simpler, but no less important, updates.

In this update, Phoebe Newton finally gets her interview with Michael Sharpe, while he tries to regain his freedom and individuality within the confines of STALWART. Meanwhile, another power player is making their move behind the scenes. Things are about to come to a head.

Enjoy

  • Added: 7 new Model cards for Phoebe.
  • Added: 5 new Challenge cards used in Phoebe's scenario.
  • Added: Double-click/double-tap on the discard pile to bring up a window showing all the cards currently in the discard pile. You can investigate any of the cards there by double-clicking/double-tapping on them.
  • Added: Sudden Death Challenge deck used in certain scenarios when the Challenge deck runs out of cards before the end of a match.
  • Added: 3 new Challenge cards used exclusively in the Sudden Death deck. These cards are far more dangerous than any other Challenge cards in the game.

  • Added: Safe zone around the discard pile. If you drag a card to the discard pile and miss slightly, this should no longer count as an attempt to play the card.
  • Changed: Reduced the Heat cost of the "One More Time" card from 6 to 3.
  • Changed: On the turn you play "Backup Plan", the first discard you make after playing the card will trigger its ability, even if you already discarded a card earlier that turn.
  • Changed: Improved consistency for Heat vs Usable Heat descriptions.
  • Changed: Various minor adjustments to texts across the game for clarity and correctness.
  • Fixed: Incorrectly placed background ambience that didn't load during Michael Chapter 10.
  • Fixed: Potentially unstable code that could make the game crash under extremely rare circumstances, mostly during testing.
  • Fixed: "Nothing Else Matters" could make Usable Heat go negative under certain conditions.
  • Fixed: The initial hand draw in the Mulligan phase didn't respect hand size penalties from Challenge cards.
  • Known issue: If you experience flickering and graphical artifacts after the latest updates, press Shift+G in the game and select "Force ANGLE2 Renderer", then restart the game. Please let me know if this fixes the problem for you.
