v0.14

Overworld
I wanted to make the open world feel more alive, so I brought EVERY female character we have into the game (Except Pixie, but she isn’t leaving her room. Something about gaming all day?) This is also great for letting us tie story characters together and letting community vote up content. Have fun finding & chatting with them all!

• NEW Meet and Chat with all the latest new characters to learn their personalities:
  • Cass
  • Molly
  • Chloe
  • Lucy
  • Raven
  • Fiona
  • Ms. Ashton
  • Mrs. Williams
• NEW Characters who lack a main story at the moment, will still have a new first time greeting if you haven’t met them before/in a while.
• NEW Multiple Characters can now be in the same room.
• NEW All characters now have Week & Weekend schedules. (You’ll be more likely to find characters at the park if they’re active, the Cafe for a drink, or at the Beach relaxing. They might also be buried in their work, like Raven at her Tattoo Shop.)

Locations
Simply put, we’re adding new locations for our characters and you to roam around in. The cafe helps bring Ellen into the picture, as well as a place for characters to relax on weekends. The school helps setup Chloe and Mrs Ashton’s future storylines better.

• NEWNew locations:
  • Cafe
  • School Hallway
  • English Class 101

Daydream in Bed
MC has needs, don’t ya know? He can now relieve himself in his room, on his bed, to thoughts of the lovely ladies you meet in Life In Woodchester. You’ll need to seek out and interact with each individual character in the world to earn points, which you can then spend on spicy images.

• NEW Interact with a character in the overworld to earn FapBank points. (Remember, on weekends you can also now find characters at cafes, beach, park, etc.)
• NEW Spend FapBank points to unlock dozens upon dozens of new pinup and other style images of the girls you meet <3.
• NEW CG of MC cranking his hog to the ladies.

(Note, we do have Lucy and Raven missing from fapbank, hope to get them in before long.)

Quickies & Pick Up Sex
As voted on, we have Janice, Tara, Lily all as repeatable carry sex options! As long as you have the strength necessary (each girl is different), you can lift them all day long. Or at least a few minutes! Clothed alternatives with different animations, shorter dialogue are also in (called quickies)!

• NEWCG ScenesYou can now do repeatable “Quickie”‘s (Clothed Carry Sex) with:
  • Janice
  • Tara
  • Lily
• NEWCG Scenes You can now do repeatable “Carry Sex” (Nude Carry Sex) with:
  • Janice
  • Tara
  • Lily

Map & Navigation
Did some quality of life changes to phone and navigation. The Old house icon now only appears on map, and changes to a map in any other room, to visit the map quickly.

• NEW Character Portraits on your phone are now hidden until you see/meet them
• NEW Phone now shows Cass, Molly, Chloe and is now scrollable.
• NEW When in any room, the house gui turns into map icon that takes you to the map
• Fix: The house icon when in the map room, now properly pushes the camera to the house as intended

Fiona
All girls means ALL girls, so I added the ability to summon Fiona using the runestones you collected (its now in your room, if finished story). Just like the other overworld girls, she has a bit of lore and teasing.

• NEW You can now summon Fiona anytime to your room using the runestone on your desk. (Must finish her story)
• NEW Fiona BJ Repeatable
• NEW Fiona Breeding in Woods Repeatable

Cass & Molly
(It was important to get Cass & Molly’s events back in the game as repeatables, and you can now give them smooches <3.)

• NEW Visit them at work or at their homes.
• NEW Cass & Molly Kiss new repeatables
• NEW Cass & Molly Sex new repeatables (Anal for Cass, Reverse Cowgirl for Molly)
• NEW Lily & Cass & Molly Foursome new repeatables. (Talk to Lily for now)

New Game Stats
(I added a small option to allocate 5 stat points towards your character’s stats. Should help players feel more agency over their character at the start of the game. Also having a second menu leaves UI space for the new Cheat Mode [more on that later])

• NEW Allocate 5 stat points towards Strength, Dexterity, Charisma, Intelligence and Luck when starting a new game.

Saving & Loading
(It’s important to keep LIW save files clean and easy for players, so we now show more files, time played, and prevent some save file softlock scenarios.)

• NEW Save files now show time played, for easier save/load identification (shows 00:00 for old save files, until you play current build)
• NEW Saving & Loading shows 3 rows of save & load files.
• Autosave is removed from save menu, so you don’t accidentally overwrite an autosave.
• Saving now disabled on main menu (caused soft lock)
• Saving & Loading now resets scrolling memory to top
• No autosaving on Janice 1-0 or Tara 1-0, this prevents accidental new game overriding on your auto saves.

Story Fixes/Cleanup/Tweaks
(We did some major cleanups, tweaks, camera panning, etc on Lily’s Story and a few on Janice & Tara. It’ll result in a much higher quality VN experience. Also fixed a bug that made scene 15 and 15-1 getting skipped in Lily’s story.)

Announcing LIW Deluxe Edition!
I wanted to find a fair way to make a deluxe version of LIW for people who really enjoy the game we’re building. We have almost over 55+ animated CGs and still pumping them out if you can believe it (I cant!), and some games remove animated CGs just to charge a higher price.

I don’t like negatively impacting the experience of players, so instead we’ll simply create more quality of life and fun as deluxe incentives!

• NEW Cheat Mode – Gain max money, stats, fapbank points & more!
• NEW Always Nude Mod – All female characters are always nude!
• NEW Scene Library – Replay any and all storyline scenes from any character!
• NEW Sandbox – Explore all poses, faces & custom clothing for all characters!

Cheat Mode
Not a fan of playing by the rules? Or perhaps you just want to have a little fun on a side save file? Whichever the case, we have new cheat mode options for the deluxe build of the game!

• NEW Max Money – Gives you $999,999
• NEW Max Stats – Give you 10 in each stat.
• NEW Max FapBank – Gives you 99 pts for each girl.
• NEW Always Nude Mod – All girls always nude (Beta)
• NEW Finished Storyline – Finish all of the girls storylines, so you can get straight into the late game open world actions.
