Kept you waiting, huh?
HOLY GUACAMOLE! This is a hefty one and probably the final update while we work on our next game.
What originally started as a basic proofreading update quickly escalated into the biggest update the game has seen yet!
Here's the cliff notes version if you don't wanna read the entire update...
A new major date location (The Clarkade)
New sprite faces and bodies (Both SFW and NSFW) for all the characters
New scenes and dialogue for the characters
New music tracks for the new scenes and locations
New backgrounds
New Achievements (6 New, 2 updated)
An entire new plotline (if you seek it out)
A new major character (Banana)
Boss fights (Yes, boss fights)
Gallery overhaul
New endings
What are we waiting for? Let's get into the details!
THE CLARKADE
The Clarkade is an arcade/entertainment complex that hosts multiple activities for you to enjoy with your date! You start off with 30 tokens and that'll be your currency for the remainder of the date! Spend them wisely! Your date might not be satisfied if they didn't get to do everything.
Claw Machine
Most claw machines are rigged, however ours isn't! Win different types of plushies in this mini game! (PRO TIP: Your date will like a certain plushie more than the others!)
Ticket Wheel
What's a good arcade without prizes? However, prizes cost tickets. You'll need to earn tickets through the ticket wheel! Earn enough and you'll be able to get a valuable goody from the prize counter! The Clarkade hosts a bunch of different activities for you to do! We don't wanna spoil them all here, so you'll have to see for yourself!
New Sprites
One of our favorite compliments we've gotten was on how "expressive" the characters were! So we turned it up a notch and made them more expressive! You'll be able to see all the new expressions and poses throughout your playthrough of Bliss Valley 1.2!
New Scenes
We understand a lot of you wanted to spend more time with these characters... So we added a bunch of new scenes throughout the game! Cute, funny, quirky, and even serious scenes were added for all the characters.
New Music
Of course to coincide with the new scenes, the game has received a plethora of new music tracks!
The Bliss Valley Soundtrack (available for purchase) has been updated to include the 1.2 music tracks.
New Backgrounds
Just like with the new music tracks, the game has received a bunch of new backgrounds!
New Achievements
The game has received 6 new achievements and 2 altered achievements!
New content means new achievements for said content! You'll find the opportunities to earn the new achievements throughout your playthrough of Bliss Valley 1.2.
The achievements that have been altered are due to the new plotline that was added to the game.
Wait, a new plotline?
New Plotline
Yup! Bliss Valley has a new story you can experience! It's not immediately apparent what you have to do, but I think it'll all become clearer during your first errand run. Once you do the preliminary task, you'll be greeted by a brand new major character to Bliss Valley!
A new challenger has appeared!
New Character: Banana
Awe, look at em! Isn't she adorable?
Well hands off pal, she's mine.
Banana is a bit of a loner and a bit... eccentric. Banana recruits you to engage in the hottest activity known to mankind... Solving a mystery. Help Banana uncover what's going on with Bliss Valley and what happened to a certain character some of you may have been acquainted with.
The truth may be disturbing to some players.
Boss Fights
Why the heck did you add boss fights to your nsfw furry visual novel game?
What are you, my mother?
Boss fights are rad and I wanted to make boss fight music. -Mox
You'll have to discover in Banana's route as to why you may be engaging in combat.
Gallery Overhaul
The amount of new sprites, characters, and backgrounds are just way too much more the lackluster menu system we had before. It's now updated to handle the new stuff!
It looks a lot prettier now too! - Mox
New Endings
Yep! The game got quite a few new endings! I'm not one for spoilers though... You'll have find out what they are on your next playthroughs!
Don't look at the achievements! That's cheating! -Mox
