No Such Luck news & patch notes

This update handles a number of issues. A ton of small bugfixes - too many to list - and one major backend change.

Previously there were different builds of NSL available for different platforms. Because there were significant differences in the code for them, they were kept separate. This change consolidates them into one single build. This will help prevent bugs in the future from appearing (Quite a few showed up due to the different builds existing).

On your end, you shouldn't see any difference aside from some bugs being squashed - but it's a major backend change. While this change has been pretty thoroughly tested, it may still contain some hidden bugs - so if you run into any, please report them in the main bug report thread or on discord.

As always, the game is still in early access so some bugs are to be expected. Any you do run into please report so they can be addressed ASAP. And if you ever have feature requests, head over to the community hub and feel free to ask. One currently in the works is enabling self-narration and auto-forward simultaneously, but that requires more testing and hopefully makes it into a future build.

Some of the highlights of bugfixes:

Fixed CH6 images not appearing in the gallery

Fixed issues with the Cooking minigame

Fixed some scenes not being achievable

Fixed a loop caused by Alice's text messages before CH6.

Fixed a few achievements not properly tracking

Fixed a ton of typos

Fixed a few variables tracking incorrectly

....and a lot more.

Note: Currently in the gallery, there is a blank space in the first entry. This is not an actual scene - it's just a placeholder for now. This will be addressed in a future update.

Chapter 6 is finally here!

Included with Chapter 6 is new prologue content. The first time you load a save from CH5, you'll be asked if you wish to view the new prologue content or not. If you decline, you'll be asked every time you load a new CH5 save. Once you've viewed it once, you'll no longer be prompted. Alternatively, starting a new game and playing through it that way will avoid the prompt entirely.

Chapter 6 (and the new prologue content) introduces a new sort of freeroam. These are single-panel, and will change based on your actions. There's currently 1 in the prologue content, and 1 in CH6. You'll likely see these pop up occasionally moving forward. They're a bit easier to deal with, as there's no navigation necessary. Moving forward, expect to see a mix of the two types.

"Previously On" has been slightly updated. Now when you start CH6 for the first time, you'll see a "Previously On" containing scenes from your entire playthrough since the beginning. Any subsequent playthroughs will only include scenes from CH5. The "Previously On" from CH5 is now gone. This is the format going forward - so for example when CH7 is release, CH6 won't contain a "Previously On" anymore - CH7 will do a refresher for the entire PT from the beginning on your first PT, and then only include CH6 reminders for subsequent loads.

Note: WT should be updated for CH6 sometime in the next week. The WT Has been temporarily disabled until it's completed as it causes conflicts with CH6. It will be re-enabled as soon as it's ready - should be before June 3rd.

Patch notes? Patch notes!

• Over 4k new renders, 20 animations.

• 32 New music tracks

• Fixed a ton of small bugs.

• Probably introduced a few new ones.

• Updated "Previously On" for Ch6.

• New minigame! Only available on Clara's path.

• Renaissance Delayed achievement should now be... achievable.

• Added 6 new Achievements for CH6.

Enjoy Chapter 6!

Chapter 6 is coming in May!

An exact date isn't ready yet, but it should be sometime in the middle of the month. An update of the WT

mod will also be available shortly after the CH6 release. New content is always released on patreon first, followed by steam shortly after - this is due to additional coding needed for steam releases. The delay shouldn't be more than a week or so.

Full details and patch notes will be available upon release. For now here's some info on the prologue!

New prologue content is also being shipped with CH6. Originally this was planned to be added as flashbacks throughout CH6 and 7 - but after careful consideration, it's been moved to the prologue instead. For anyone playing a brand new playthrough, you'll have the additional content in the prologue as intended. For those picking up from CH5 saves - you'll have the option to play through the new prologue content before resuming CH6. This will be a one-time only event, and only for those with an active save who have never played through it before. You can of course decline - in which case, you're free to play through the prologue at any time to see it.

Finally for now, here's some Chapter titles!

Chapter 6: Consequences

Chapter 7: Fallout

Chapter 8: Requiem

Chapter 9: Decisions

Stay tuned for Chapter 6 - Available next month!

Today is finally the release of the WT+WT Mod for No Such Luck!

The DLC/WT Will continue to be updated as the game is updated - as new content is made for the game,

the WT will be updated to match.

For now the DLC contains a Mod for NSL, and a companion WT PDF.

The Mod might be a little different than you're used to. Here's a few screenshots explaining it. Explanations can also be found in the in-game help tab.

In the Options Menu, you'll see a new tab with the DLC installed:

Full Mode adds commentary along with choices including what effects they have. It also provides commentary/explanations prior to every freeroam. Full Mode also includes the Paths Guide explained below.

Basic Mode only contains the Paths Guide. Because of how branching is handled, to enable most WT functionality, you must select a path from the Paths Guide. Each one comes with a brief description of the path - shown as such here.

Once you've selected a path the game will color-code all choices that affect that path. Choices which have no effect will not be highlighted in any way. If Full Mode is enabled, commentary will still be on.

The Paths Guide is accessible from a tab at the top right of the screen in the very beginning - although it disappears fairly quickly. From that point on, it can be accessed from your phone (During Freeroams in CH1 and 2, and at all times in CH3). From your phone you can also directly open the companion PDF via the "WT" Icon shown here:

Finally, the PDF can also be opened directly from the Main Menu.

That's all - if you encounter any issues or bugs feel free to report them in the Community Hub for the main game. Enjoy the WT DLC for No Such Luck!

Patch notes:

• Added Chapter 5 - the first chapter of episode 2!

• Tons of minor bugfixes/typos.

• Added a "Previously" on to the beginning of Chapter 5. This can be skipped via a button up top. It may be slightly buggy as it was a literal last minute addition, but I did do as much testing as I could manage, so hopefully not!

• New minigame - only available on certain paths - disabled if minigames are turned off.

• Updates to Statistics App. Fanlyhub didn't get an update this release, but it's possibly it may get one in a later patch.

• 4k+ New renders, 30+ Animations, 60+ New Music tracks, and tons of new story content!

Announcing the release of Chapter 5!

As always, check the community hub or discord to report any bugs. Walkthrough is currently awaiting approval, and will hopefully be available soon - more info on that when the DLC is available - ETA unknown, but ASAP!

Chapter 5 is on it's way! The final touches to the initial build of CH5 are being completed now

and playtesting is ongoing.

Currently CH5 release on Steam is slated for Aug 12th. Either with CH5, or soon after a

small DLC package will also come out - containing a full PDF walkthrough, as well as an

in-game walkthrough mod - note, this may be delayed as much as a week after the initial CH5

release, but it is coming!

A full breakdown+patch notes will be available when CH5 is released. For now a quick rundown -

CH5 is the first chapter of Episode 2 - containing over 4k renders, 30+ animations, 60+ new Audio

tracks, as well as a few small bugfixes to earlier content.

So Stay tuned for CH5 - coming to Steam August 12th!
