PATCH #5 IS NOW LIVE!

-------------------------------

This patch has a huge number of bugfixes, but most notably, it also has some significant gameplay changes and additi

Finally, the full Gallery is in the game! It'll be retroactively unlocked for those who've already done so, but if you haven't, you'll need 5 Achievements per level, out of 10. However, if you get all 10 achievements in a level, (for the first four levels only), you'll also get a special POV animation not seen anywhere else in the game (it's not some huge thing, just to temper your expectations).

And there's more than H-scenes in the gallery, too; there's also a list of the True Endings (which you can re-watch) and the Faux Endings (you'll be able to re-watch those next patch).

There's also Vie's Hideout, a bonus mode within the Gallery that'll unlock once you've gotten at least one True Ending, where all the H-animations in the game will randomly cycle, aided by Vie's commentary about what's going on (you can toggle this on/off).

A new functionality addition is the Auto-Charge Shot option, so for those of you who don't like holding the button down to fire off Charge Shots, you can now enable this in the options menu, after the first level, to have Talia's Charge Shot constantly charging.

Speaking of making things a bit easier,  (they'll play after you've been there a bit), as well as a series of cutscenes/functionality that will allow you to auto-solve the Laser Puzzle rooms if you're totally stuck on them, or just don't like doing those sorts of puzzles.

And to make navigation easier, you can now see the Module you're in, under the minimap.

Finally, we've also made two of the in-game achievements easier, since those were notoriously hard for people to find, and not in a fun way.

-------------------------------

HOW TO REFRESH/UPDATE TO THE NEW PATCH:

You'll need to download the new Future Fragments v1.0.5 zip file on Itch.

All your save files should transfer over without any additional work needed.

-------------------------------

NEW CUTSCENES:

• Shea in EndMap 20 of The End
• Big Nate Allen in P6M1 of the Uncharted Wildwoods
• A global scene that plays the first time you read a Silver Databank, clarifying they're entirely optional / not part of the main plot / can be listened to it one shot later
• "Post-Boss" choice scene for the Mainframe fight added between the Gratification Factory and Uncharted Wildwoods
• Multiple new softlock areas/scenes for the Gratification Factory "Softlock" achievement added
• Multiple QoL cutscenes will play in the Celodst Resupply Laser Puzzle rooms if you're stuck on any of them for more than 5 minutes, where you'll get an offer to have the puzzle solved for you if you'd like
• A hint scene for how to beat P2M5a of the Uncharted Wildwoods that plays if you've been stuck there for more than 1 minute (audio coming in next patch)
• Another Faux Ending added

BIG CHANGES / ADDITIONS / FIXES:

• Expanded and polished the existing enemy/animation Gallery:
• Added the special "POV" / "High-res" animations to the Gallery (never seen anywhere until now!)
• Added all cutscene and NPC sex animations to the Gallery
• Added all environmental trap animations to the Gallery
• Added proper sex SFX and moans for all NPC animations
• Added the functionality to re-watch the full cutscene for bosses, NPCs, and other cutscene sex animations, inside the Gallery
• Added two new Gallery pages for re-watching any "True" or "Faux" Endings you have unlocked
• Added a brand new special Gallery-based mode called "Vie's Hideout" (unlocks once you've gotten at least one True Ending)
• Changed naming of "region" to "node" on the main Gallery page for consistency
• The True Endings bug is ACTUALLY fixed this time, fully, for sure; all True Endings will display as intended
• However, five of the True Endings had continuity issues, so their text is dummied out while they're being fixed: they'll be back in shortly, and if you unlock them, you can re-watch them once the fixes are in
• The 1st "hard achievements" for the Gratification Factory and Uncharted Wildwoods have been simplified to be more straightforward to trigger
• Auto-Charge mode has been added to the options menu; toggle this to have Talia constantly charge her shot, removing the need to hold the charge yourself if you'd like
• Your current location has now been added below the minimap, to keep track of where you're at better

CUTSCENE FIXES / ADDITIONS:

• Shuffled around variants for Darkmoon Device in P4M3 of the Uncharted Wildwoods to make attaining certain variants easier / less convoluted

• Fixed an incorrect flag on Heat Kadfe's scene in his room in the Volcanic Mines that was blocking off multiple variants from happening

• Fixed text not matching some audio in the fourth in-between module leading into the Uncharted Wildwoods

• Multiple maps across multiple levels have had errors with them fixed
• Multiple maps now properly hide dummy NPCs that had been accidentally showing
• Memorial Room music now properly works
• Updated text and added voicework to three True Endings

• Fixed bug with NPCs still animating when frozen by your Time-Stop Ice Bullet

• Fixed bug in the Celodst Emperor sex scene where the "internal" part of the animation was covered up by the prison lock
• Fixed bug where in some situations the camera would reposition itself after finishing zooming in or out (rather than zooming in/out with the correct camera position to begin with)

• Fixed bug where the Jason Bilder powerup could be picked up multiple times
