Beauty and the Thug 0.4 – Massive Overhaul with Exciting New Features!
Dear Players,
We’re thrilled to announce the release of Version 0.4.0b, our biggest update yet! This massive overhaul brings a host of new features, improvements, and content to enhance your gaming experience like never before!
Game Engine Overhaul
I completely rewrote the game engine for improved performance and reduced errors. It allowed me to add a huge number of new features that I’ll describe below.
My game had a lot of problems with translations that were piling up from update to update. I finally fixed these issues, and now the translations are straightforward, easy to add, and non-interrelated. Currently, the game has English, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, and Spanish translations.
Old save files are not compatible with version 0.4.0. But starting a new game, taking into account many new features would be a great idea anyway.
User Interface Updates
– The game interface is vastly updated with refreshed menus and notification screens.
– Implemented an in-game hint system: hover over the yellow question mark (?) next to choices for hints.
– New content indicators: Choices leading to new content are marked with a bright “NEW” sign; choices leading to new content that is currently unavailable are marked with a semi-transparent “NEW” sign. In this way, discovering new content is much, much easier now.
In the previous version, if Lisa’s skills were not high enough to unlock a certain content, it was hidden. Now all this level-dependent content is visible but marked as unavailable: hover over these options to see the requirements for unlocking them.
Reworked Screens and Menus
Daily Activities Screen now shows all activities available at the current time of day, including locked ones. Hover over unavailable activities to learn why they’re locked.
Bed Play Menu: unavailable options are shown grayed out. Hover over them to see the requirements for unlocking.
The Watch Lewd Videos Screen was split into two screens for better navigation. The first screen lists all fetishes, and picking up one of them leads to the second screen. The second screen shows the full sequence of videos for the selected fetish. Locked videos display requirements when hovered over. In this way, you see clearly what fetish will improve each video, and you have access to all unlocked videos and not to the last one only. It prevents you from missing new content when you use cheats. The videos and fetish groups have new content indicators to show if you have already watched them.
Added over 50 new interactive screens for various activities with hot animated icons, hints on hover, and new content indicators: picking up a dish to cook, selecting activities for going to the beach alone, with Amy, or with Carla and Mia, activities in Drunken Monkey, in the park, in the night club, picking up vaginal versus anal penetration, and many more.
Content Display Enhancements
Virtually everywhere where I showed randomly a few images or animations from a large sequence, now media displays with image sets. Images or animations are grouped (2–4 per set) for easy switching between different perspectives. In this way, you get access to full image sequences instead of a few random ones. At the same time, skipping this content requires no extra clicks.
I decided to test out a new approach for animations: instead of one long animation, I tried out to group a few shorter ones into an image set. Besides, I added a zoom feature to focus on the most interesting areas of animations. This approach enhances interactivity and engagement.
I will need your feedback regarding this feature, guys. Should I continue in the same way or it’s better return to the previous approach with long animations?
Game Tutorial
I added a tutorial guiding players through key game logic elements and new features. The tutorial is not very long but quite hot and contains a few lewd animations to give you an extra reason for not skipping it.
Achievements
I Implemented an Achievements System with 16 challenging achievements. Unlock all achievements to receive a special bonus. Most likely, you won’t unlock more than one of them during your first playthrough, so it will give you more motivation to replay the game.
Gallery Update
I Added 11 new gallery entries, bringing the total to 191. The gallery is now divided into 14 sections for easier navigation. I also removed the transition effect in the gallery, which was more annoying than helpful.
Notifications Everywhere
Added notifications for any important updates (e.g., wallet changes, route updates, or any other game state changes that may have an impact on your game.) Also, I added four new notification screens to indicate when you reach a new skill level, unlock a gallery entry, achieve a minigame goal, or earn a new achievement.
Gameplay Enhancements
Health Parameter Update: expanded actions that improve health and significantly reduced the impact of negative actions. Certain activities now require a specific health level.
Added Skip buttons to bypass repetitive daily activities. Skipping performs default actions in the background, updating parameters accordingly.
Various small gameplay tweaks for a better experience. For example, on high Anal Play levels, Lisa asks Hunter for anal sex during their first sex scene instead of giving initiative to Hunter.
Menu Preferences Additions
Added Reset All Button that resets all achievements, clears the game gallery and minigame goals, and resets character skills to let you play again from scratch.
Vaginal vs Anal Selection. You can choose between always showing manual selection and auto selection of Anal content at high Anal Play levels. The first choice may be preferable during hunting the achievements. The second choice will appreciate anal sex lovers.
New Content and Events
I added two new game days: June 25 and June 26. June 25: a large event for Hunter’s route and Amy + Hunter’s route. They spend the whole day (and night) together.
On June 26, Lisa has a math test event with an additional watersport extension.
Added a pizza delivery event where Lisa meets a delivery person being entirely nude or wearing her bra but not panties.
I added an event with Jackie, the Adult Boutique’s clerk, where Lisa has sex with her.
Also, I included a few new short events for Amy to maintain the day cycle when Amy stays with Lisa. However, Amy’s routine events were not the focus of the current update, so not all daily activities have Amy’s versions. By now, you can jog with Amy or go to the beach.
Hunter’s Foreplay Minigame
I developed a fully animated and Voiced Minigame. It’s available during the sex scene on Day 25 for pure Hunter’s route when Amy doesn’t stay with Lisa.
You have to choose action sequences for Hunter and Lisa to reach one of 16 minigame goals. I added over 50 lewd sound effects to enhance the minigame experience.
Huge Content Addition
Added over 2,100 new images, nearly 380 animations, and over 50 sound effects. The game now contains approximately 25,500 renders and 2,900 animations. And I didn’t include a new user interface element – the folder with new UI elements contains over 1,100 images.
This update took much more time than usual, but it’s worth it. I hope you enjoy my game, and I would really appreciate your feedback.
Your zegamez.
