Heyhey Scientists! Today we are releasing the next build for ANBW!

!The Update is available NOW on Lewd Launcher!

We are still very much focusing on clearing up the game loop to create more opportunities for players to engage with the world. You will find portions of Virtual Little Tokyo being more "lived in", more walkers, early implementations of citizen environmental interactions, hovercars and you can explore the close to final blockout of Upper VLT, giving you an idea of whats to come and what you´ll be able to visit in future updates!

A NEW MAIN MENU is going to greet you on loading up the game! Try interacting with Mel! "Go Crazy" xD

Over the years we invested a lot of time into building our "Narrative Engine" a huge collection of tools and workflows so we could bring the mega massive story our writer Doople has been working on to you. And with that mostly working as intended, we now have shifted focus to the core gameplay loop, mainly to polish up existing loops like "walking and talking", "exploration", interacting with characters ... but also to improve the combat and looting experience when encountering enemies. You can look forward to us adding a "Arena" Mode in an upcoming update soonTM to showcase what we envision your life in Melody´s Virtual Universe to be like!

Additionally you will find the first implementation of the updated Character Interaction in Sandbox (and Intimate Scenes), so use your mouse and start clicking and dragging away to see our characters react!

If you encounter ANY issues with Un-Censoring the build (if you´re supporting above T1M Tier), please hit us up on discord! <3
