0.4.X Patch Notes


Hello Hello! Is this thing on? Anyway, I'm Fen here to give you all the Patch Notes for 0.4.0!

Corruption Update~ And with that Byte - Desktop Pet has been out for one whole month! Over 3 Pages of Patch notes! While I did say previously that we would be focusing a lot more on Content I must confess, this update was mainly a LOT of feature work, new Recipe Book, new Unlock Systems, things being shifted around, and hell MODDING!!! Now that being said we have a lot of cute and adorable Content in production for 0.5.0 which we will be targeting next month, but we will not hold any promises.

Please give it a download~

this isThis is(PEAK)

call me gunshy but past experences observing desktop pets make me a little paranoid on the corruption line... this doesnt have malware like functions, right?

appologies for dumb question but some folks trying to make thier arg spoopy crossed the line into malwate repetedly so i tend to ask (and if possable peek inside)

(+3)

No, nothing ARG spooky malware stuff!

The closest thing is the fake pop-ups that don't do anything except drop more items to play around with :3 and those only spawn in from spam mail items!

the update is really really good. actual bit sex scene with the lazy byte. ough. the qubit sex scenes are so good too, but i hope bit having voicelines for when byte gets fucked is on the list.. 

the zoom feature is really nice too!! v cutee!!

I'm glad you like them!  ;3
And yeah, that would be fun! I do want to expand on stuff involving Bit :3

Been liking this new update- but what does Qubit do?
I've completed the braindance and this guy showed up, but just stands around.


On a similar note, it would be great if you could move the other NPCs around. Three of them are all just standing in one spot, and if I try to make them interact, Byte only ever interacts with Bit since he is on the "top layer".

(1 edit)

Check the Recipe book! Qubit has a few items he wants and if you give them to him, he may do something :3

And yes, it has been noted they overlap too much. I plan to see what I can do in helping that pain point. Moving them around yourself is something that requires more content work, so Ill probably just program in their AI to avoid overlapping with each other.

So far the only thing I've seen that Qubit interacts with is the infocoin.
I've gone and unlocked the gallery with the root password and see that he has two scenes, but I'm stumped on how to get those naturally.

In the Recipe Book it should tell you that other items are wanted by other actors. I believe the Dildo and Flowers both are usable on Qubit

I just took a look around. From what I could see, Qubit only takes infocoins and the stock dildo.

Bit accepts infocoins, the dildo, mal-infocoins, flowers, and green infocoins.

Found this and got hooked! already loving the interactions between byte and the npc, I'm hoping that Byte will get more interaction with the user!

Thank you so much!! :3 We do have plans to get a little deeper into that side of it!

Giving this game more content than most AAA titles. Frankly absurd quality and effort!

Hehe, thank you so much!! We're doing our best  :3

Love to see the new update :)
Been checking the page every couple days

(+2)

Awww, thank you!!!

As for the actual update itself, all of it is really good! I'm a nitpicky person, so usually I have something to complain about, but it's all just quality additions, fixes, and backend changes to set things up for the future + modding
Love you guys
