MindWare

Changelog:

• Added the first taxi camera hack mission from Ray, which leads directly to the second one.
• Added the second taxi camera hack mission from Ray.
• Added cum eating fetish (unlockable during the taxi mission).
• Added a chat with Cipher about cum eating (available after the taxi mission).
• Added information about fetishes in the character screen.

As you can see from the short changelog, this update is all about a new taxi camera hack mission that you can accept from Ray. The mission will trigger automatically when the following conditions are met:

• You’re more than 5 days deep into Chapter 1
• Your relationship with Ray is at least 40 points out of 100
• You’re located in the BrainFry main hub area

I hope you’ll find the mission(s) fun because I had a lot of fun making them. On Monday I will FINALLY start fixing reported bugs (THANK YOU!!! for taking the time to let me know about them — it helps a lot) while also working on the game’s story.

Specifically, my goal is to begin a major relationship sidequest with Trix to which the taxi mission servers as a kind of prequel. Of course, there are also many blank spaces that I need to circle back to and fill, such as the rent mechanic, EroSphere, PornNexus, and others.

On top of that, I have received a lot of excellent suggestions from you, my amazing supporters, and many of them have made it on my todo list.

Thank you for your ongoing support. Stay tuned for more content and improvements coming your way soon!

Here’s what’s new:

• Three neuroimaging sessions with Xavier added. Supporters can skip waiting using a button in the task description (visible only with Extra Options unlocked).
• Gender change status messages now say 1 point instead of 1 points.
• Added sexuality statistics in the Character screen.
• New bar area in EroSphere.
• You can now order a drink in EroSphere (doesn’t have any effects yet).
• The SynTech location is now accessible (but there’s nothing to do there yet).
• You can now go inside the Panacea Clinic (but there’s nothing to do there yet).
• Supporters can now teleport inside EroSphere from the Extra Options menu.
• You can now dance in EroSphere (but it doesn’t lead to anything yet).
• You can now enter the Glory Booths area (but there’s nothing to do there yet).
• It’s no longer possible for implantCharge to be lower than 0.

In this update, I’ve focused on adding more neuroimaging sessions with Xavier. There are now three sessions in total, and you can bet that AVA will attempt to exercise her will during them. Depending on your choices, the sessions can lead to future encounters with Xavier, but those are not implemented yet.

I’ve also made several areas accessible and created visuals for them. Unfortunately, life has been pretty busy these last few weeks, so progress on implementing these new parts of the game has been slower than anticipated. However, I am committed to continuing to improve and expand the game.

The next update will begin what I hope to be one of the most fun parts of Chapter 1—a drama-filled quest with Trix and Ray.

Thank you for your patience and continued support.

Here’s what’s new:

• Expenses are now stored and manipulated more intelligently.
• Added Community Zone and Panacea Clinic in the navigation hub (in Chapter 1).
• Navigation hub “Go Back” links now work as they should.
• GitGud now has a hub passage.
• AI coding assistant becomes available when you work at BrainFry for the first time since your infection.
• You can talk with Yuki about your surgery.
• You can talk with Xavier about your surgery. This leads to a side mission (NOT IMPLEMENTED YET).
• There’s a chance that Xavier will be “busy” when you visit him at GitGud.
• Added a few post-surgery linear passages.
• PornNexus website is now available (NOT FULLY IMPLEMENTED YET).
• BrainFry and GitGud dialogs now display in the right order (newest first).
• The prank mission now becomes available on day 4 of the open section of Chapter 1.
• Relationship status change messages are more informative.
• The Notifications box now displays available ByteBunker jobs instead of hacking targets.

The story continues! With your Steady Synapse VX implant installed, you can now finally resume your life and see whether it can contain AVA.

To experience all new content, I recommend you use the Quick Start menu to start from the open section of Chapter 1. Later this week, I will publish a walkthrough so that you can easily see what content is and isn’t available in the game.

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to address many reported bugs in this version because my work life has been keeping me too busy again. If you’ve already reported a bug and it’s still in the game, please give me until the next release to fix it. If you notice a new bug (one that isn’t caused by using an old save) — please report it right away!

Thank you for your continued support!
