This build introduces the concepts of friendship, gossiping, and bullying to the game.</p>
<p>This video should explain everything:</p>
<p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' width='640' height='360' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/wo4jsjBkToo?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p>
<p>In addition to those features, some other miscellaneous improvements were added to the game. Here&#8217;s a full list of everything that&#8217;s new in this build:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Gossip</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>It is now possible to damage a student&#8217;s reputation by gossiping about them with other NPCs.</li>
<li>It is not possible to gossip if your reputation is &#8220;Bad&#8221;.</li>
<li>You cannot gossip with a student more than once per day.</li>
<li>Gossiping damages your own reputation.</li>
<li>Having a high reputation will enhance the effect of your gossip.</li>
<li>Wearing the right panties will enhance the effect of your gossip.</li>
<li>You can pay Info-chan for information that will enhance the effect of your gossip.</li>
<li>Being friends with a student will enhance the effect of your gossip with that student.</li>
<li>It is possible to damage a student&#8217;s reputation by badmouthing them on social media.</li>
<li>If you lie on the Internet, your reputation will drop.</li>
<li>If you expose your rival&#8217;s dirty secrets on the Internet, her reputation will drop.</li>
<li>You can check a student&#8217;s reputation on your smartphone&#8217;s &#8220;Student Info&#8221; screen.</li>
<li>If a student&#8217;s reputation drops low enough, they will no longer be welcome around other students, and will sit alone instead of socializing.</li>
<li>If a student&#8217;s reputation drops low enough, other students will begin to vandalize that student&#8217;s desk.</li>
<li>If a student&#8217;s reputation drops low enough, they will stop coming to school.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Yandere-chan&#8217;s Room</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Added night and day to Yandere-chan&#8217;s room. Certain activities are only available during the day, others only available at night.</li>
<li>Added a bed for sleeping, a TV for gaming, a shelf for manga, and a computer for cyber-bullying.</li>
<li>Yandere-chan now gets her panties from a drawer instead of an armoire.</li>
<li>Replaced Yandere-chan&#8217;s room with a new environment model.</li>
<li>Added placeholder music tracks to Yandere-chan&#8217;s room.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Tasks and Friendship</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>It is now possible to use the &#8220;Task&#8221; option in the student interaction wheel to accept a task from a student. There is currently only one in the game.</li>
<li>If you complete a Task for a student, your reputation will improve, and that student will become your friend.</li>
<li>Being friends with a student enables you to access the Favors menu.</li>
<li>All of the options in the Favors menu are now operational. You can ask a friend to follow you, leave the area, or distract another NPC for you.</li>
<li>Being friends with a student also means that your compliments and gossip will have a stronger effect on that student.</li>
<li>You can check the status of all of your current Tasks on your smartphone&#8217;s &#8220;Task list&#8221; screen.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Other Improvements</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Fixed a bug that would cause Senpai to have white hair and white eyes if the player made no selections whatsoever when customizing Senpai at the customization screen.</li>
<li>It is now possible to take photographs by aiming the camera and then pressing the CTRL button instead of the left mouse button. (&#8220;RB&#8221; for Xbox controller users.)</li>
<li>Attempted to fix the bug that would cause Yandere-chan and a student to freeze in place when Yandere-chan tried to interact with a student.</li>
<li>While speaking with an NPC, it is now possible to tap the &#8220;Confirm&#8221; button during a conversation to advance the text.</li>
<li>An audio clip now plays when trying to look up Info-chan&#8217;s information in the Student Info screen.</li>
<li>After you kidnap a girl, the girl who appears in your basement will have the correct hairstyle.</li>
<li>Fixed bug that would cause Osana Najimi to disappear under specific circumstances.</li>
<li>It is now possible to access the phone pause menu when in Yandere-chan&#8217;s room.</li>
<li>The &#8220;End-Of-Day Results&#8221; screen has been sped up to twice its previous speed.</li>
<li>There is now an operational vending machine on school grounds.</li>
<li>Added a new Easter egg.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Hair</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Adjusted the contrast of the hair textures so that some hairstyles are not drastically darker than other hairstyles.</li>
<li>Fixed a problem that would cause Ryuto Ippongo&#8217;s bandana to appear black when viewed from a certain angle.</li>
<li>Gave the teachers unique hair and glasses so that they no longer look like clones of Yandere-chan.</li>
<li>Added three new hairstyles for Yandere-chan.</li>
<li>Gave Ryuto Ippongo some less-extreme hair.</li>
<li>Improved Pippi Osu&#8217;s hair.</li>
</ul>
<p>If I&#8217;m still going by my &#8220;1st and 15th of every month&#8221; update schedule, then this update was 7 days late, and I only have 7 days to produce a new update. It would be impossible to implement something elaborate into the game in such a short span of time&#8230;but I can think of a few features that people have been begging for that wouldn&#8217;t take more than a few days to implement, so that might be the focus of the next build. However, I don&#8217;t want to make any promises just yet. We&#8217;ll just have to see how things turn out.</p>
