Defending Lydia Collier news & patch notes

Hello everybody!

Here is Defending Lydia Collier v.0.20.2, a very small update to follow v.0.20.

This update adds in some new content for Ellie, Tiffany & Sophie, and Chloe, along with all a lot of bug fixes and some optimisation.

Change Log (from v.0.20):

Two new short scenes added, one for Ellie through her Whistle, one for Tiffany through her phone.

Hints for unlocking these, try Ellie's birthday and Tiffany's favourite club.

Fixed game-bricking save name bug.

Fixed issue with Chloe's whistle invitation not working, and added more content to her private page.

Added in transparency slider for main dialogue box.

Switched the way Our Moments display works to show most recent pictures first in a more social media style.

Made SMS messages start at the bottom of the list so you don't have to scroll through them all.

Adjusted Discord's Rich Presence so the game should now launch if you're playing it in a sandbox environment.

Fixed bug with Sophie's gallery not displaying if you downloaded her photos and tried to view it from your own cloud later.

Fixed issue with White Company progress reverting when you search for it again.

Fixed issue with achievements for news articles and BetOne causing errors.

Fixed issue with Austria's bet not paying out on Day 4, with bets not working on Steph's path, and fixed an issue with the France bet being stuck on a loop when they play England.

Added in laptop scene where missing in the office.

Fixed a bug if on Emma's path and she interacted with the woman after the restaurant.

Fixed an image error during the dungeon with Lydia.

Fixed several typos, grammar problems and added some new dialogue lines where needed.

Fixed missing audio on Lydia's new day 9 scene.

Fixed issue with audio bleed in several scenes.

Fixed issue with Emma seemingly disappearing if not also on Helena's path.

Fixed issue with Samantha not sending a text for her second stream unless you are also on Emma's path.

Fixed issue with multiple text boxes overlapping instead of stacking.

Fixed an issue with the certificates not giving the correct flags when viewed.

Fixed an issue with Helton Pest Control (and Divine Health) not completing properly, hitting 4/4 will now automatically set the task complete.

Fixed an issue with you being unable to work on Day 1 after meeting Leona and Simona.

Please do keep reporting the bugs through Discord if you get any other issues, and now onwards for v.0.21!

Thanks for all the new and continued support!

Hello everybody!

Defending Lydia Collier v.0.20 has now been released!

This is comprehensive recoding with lots of changes, but now should have fixed all of the historic content and lays the foundation to complete the game, whilst adding in some new content.

Change Log (from v.0.17.0.3):

Three new scenes for Lydia.* Two new scenes for Ellie.* New scene for Tiffany. New scene for Tanya. New scene for Emma. New scene for Samantha.

*new plastic surgery scenes requite you to have completed Divine Health's work project by Day 11.

5 New Achievements and unlockable reward images added.

New in-game walk-through across all sixteen days (can be activated or disabled from the settings).

New renders scattered throughout the days to remove potentially copyrighted material or third party content no longer relevant.

New renders for various ladies' social media accounts.

Reworked Bimbo Stephanie evening after the adult store with an additional third path to tone down the kinkiness, original two paths are unchanged.

Lots of bug fixes and pathing changes, made it slightly easier to get onto Emma's path.

Lots of typos fixed, huge amount of missing punctuation marks and grammar fixed in the early days.

Entire game recoded, all computer and phone elements recoded to work properly.

Computer interactions added at all previous placemarkers, with new evidence and news stories that change depending on your choices across all sixteen days.

New webpages for several in-game companies, Fleur and Tanya.

Overhauled Social Media (Our Moments and Whistle) with expanded galleries. Overhauled BetOne website, with in-game bets no longer stopping after the first week, and adding in slots and blackjack as alternatives to get the betting achievements. Overhauled Samantha Streaming to now properly link with Social Media. Overhauled news websites and web-searching to easier find evidence and notable people. Overhauled personal galleries to save pictures that you come across or are sent. Overhauled email system. Overhauled player bank.

New menus and theme, with new save game option and expanded replay gallery to now include separate tabs for Tiffany, Sophie and Tanya. Optimisation of images moving nearly all jpegs to webp images, which roughly halves the required download size. New Bug Reporting System, through Discord (link on game's main menu) to enable accurate tracking, reporting and management of any bugs. Updated EULA which replaces the previous one henceforth.

Everything from v.0.17.0.3 or earlier is incompatible with v.0.20 due to the amount of coding that has been changed, all saves will break, as will all mods.

A huge apology for the delays in getting this out there, there was just one problem after another getting this out, but it is finally done.

If you do find any bugs or problems, please use the in-game Discord link to report your bug there and I'll get it fixed ASAP.

Thanks for all the new and continued support!

Defending Lydia Collier v.0.17 Update!

Hello everybody!

Here is the full release of Defending Lydia Collier v.0.17!

Change Log:

2375 new renders and three new animations, adding in a whole new day of content!

New scenes with:

Helena, Ellie, Ellie & Lydia, Jenna, Lydia, Bimbo Stephanie, Regular Stephanie, Bimbo Steph & Lydia.

Along with new story content!

Updates the engine to Ren'Py 7.8.4 which should fix the issues Mac users were having.

I've tested through this many times and fixed any bugs reported during the BETA, I'll be double checking them all and if I have missed any, fixing them for v.0.17.1.

I've also played through all the paths and everything seems to be running smoothly, but there's so many variables in the game my save files do not cover them all, so if you do get any bugs please report them via Discord.

What's Next?

There will be another update in about a week's time (v.0.17.1) changing a lot of coding to do with the computer, which I am almost finished with, adding in the new achievements, adding in a Tiffany gallery page, and implementing the in-game walkthrough.

I couldn't fully implement the in-game walkthrough without messing with the in-game computer and it just put bugs everywhere with the custom UI screen I made, so I'm going to remove the one selection screen where you click the people for the missions and take it to a standard Ren'Py choice screen that I can add the walkthrough to.

I'll also be adding in some custom audio for the builders, train and tunnel with v.0.17.1 to polish the update off, but all the new renders and content for this update is now there.

I hope you all enjoy the update, and thanks for all the new and continued support!
