Shield High 0.69 Release
Added 2018-09-18 03:22:05 +0000 UTCAt least, hopefully it is. It's been a while since I've done this so there's a possibility I've done something wrong. If it doesn't work please let me know and I'll do my best to fix it.
But anyway! What's in the patch?
First of all, probably some stuff I've forgotten about. I was chipping away at this months ago before putting it aside, so there's bound to be some stuff I just assume was in last patch that isn't. But here's what I do remember:
-A new system for characters! You can now, if you so desire, go in and edit character files to make them say silly shit, fall in love with you, or be unstoppable combat monsters. It's not a complete conversion yet, but it's getting there.
-Combat text for...Sasha! When doing the tutorial fight you now have descriptions of what Sasha's doing to you. I picked Sasha because I was mostly just testing it, and I wanted to put it somewhere unimportant and easy to access.
-Combat re-balances. As seen in the testing. It makes fighting actually hard. You may want/need to use the advanced start and give yourself a power boost if you don't want any uncertainty about winning. And even then you might still lose.
-A (maybe) new plot line involving Pauletta. You can demand she submit to you, challenge her to a fight if she doesn't, or offer to make her your slave if she does. If she does submit however, there's a whole other plot line as someone wants you to back off her claim.
I say maybe new because this is content that might've been in an old patch, I'm not sure. The second phase of the plot line is new however.
A quick couple of notes however. Going to school post-loss will probably crash your game. That's cause the game looks for the events when you're enslaved that just...don't exist. They'll exist...eventually. For now, losing is kind of a game over. Sorry about that. Also there's a few rough edges regarding the Pauletta plot in terms of scene length and one win state not working, which I will have fixed for you by the next patch. The win state that doesn't work is the one where you don't fuck the new girl, so...I don't think anyone will actually see it.
Anyway, with all of that said, here you go, more content. Enjoy!
Next month will be another plot, 1-3 more converted characters, a full romance line(as voted on by the $5 crowd), and another character getting combat text(also voted on by the $5 crowd).

There is yeah. It runs on the XNA Framework which you unfortunately need to install separately to get the game to run without me exporting it as an installation every time. I figured the one time install of XNA was less of a hassle than installing and uninstalling the game every patch. XNA Framework can be downloaded from here: <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20914" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20914</a> I intend to eventually look into this and see if there's a more elegant solution, but I always forget about it until the day of the release, and then I'm in too much of a rush to work it out.
2018-09-22 06:35:19 +0000 UTCI forget now, but is there stuff you need to actually run the game? After some, er, pretty bad computer issues, I've had to clean wipe my computer and ended up on Windows 10, and can't seem to get Shield High to run now...
