Shattered Minds News

[p]Hey everyone![/p][p]In V0.23, you and Diana dive headfirst into a hilarious spy adventure! Through her naivety and lack of experience, you are able to mold her mindset, convincing her to believe in highly clichéd scenarios and securing her unwavering loyalty.[/p][p]The Steam Release is planned for January 9, as soon as translations are fixed and final bug testing is done.[/p][p][/p][h3]New Quests[/h3][p]In MC's secret service (Diana – Quest 1)
The MC recruits Diana for a top-secret spy mission. He convinces her that only the two of them can save the city from the (totally-not-fictional) organization, D.O.O.M. (Department Of Omnipotent Masterminds).[/p][p]Operation: Mindfall (Diana – Quest 2)
As she successfully follows every false clue the MC plants, Diana becomes more and more entangled in a web of lies and over-the-top movie plots. No longer able to think straight, she is led to a final showdown with the leader of D.O.O.M., Dr. Eclipse![/p][p][/p][h3]New harem member: Diana[/h3][p]Diana will become a regular member of your harem, with new scenes available at your home and at the police station. She can become pregnant and she can move into your house, which unlocks two additional scenes, one in the basement and one with Sarah in the garden.[/p][p]Additionally, a new random open-world encounter between Diana and Claire will be unlocked at the police station, where you can find them talking to each other.[/p][p][/p][h3]New Side Character: Barbara[/h3][p]With Barbara, a new side character and professor at Spring Hill College gets added to the game. She becomes available after you purchase the college.[/p][p]She has been watching the recent changes with suspicion. Not just the changes to the institution itself, but also the changes with Dean Mary Baker.[/p][p]Worried about the college's future, she turns to the new owner (you), hoping to restore order and decency. However, this was the worst possible move she could have made...[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]New Quality of Life (QoL) features[/h3][p]Favorites Tab in Contacts App: The Contacts app has been updated with a new Favorites section. You can now click the star icon next to any Harem member's name to add them to your favorites list. This will make it much easier to quickly find your favorite characters in the constantly expanding roster![/p][p]Advanced Quest Tracking: You can now display up to four quests simultaneously on your main HUD, so you always know what your next task is. You can even collapse them by clicking the quest's name to keep things tidy, as shown below with the quest "Blooming Flower".[/p][p][/p][p]Simultaneous Notifications: The game now supports multiple pop-up notifications at once! Previously, when several notifications occurred at the start of a new day (like Pregnancy completed, Room built, or Level Up), the game would only display one. With V0.23, you will now receive every message!
Additionally, the game now clearly shows exactly which character ended the pregnancy.[/p][p]Revised Messenger: The messenger finally works like a proper messaging system! Every conversation will now be saved and can be retrieved at any time.
Attention: Messages that were already received and retrieved before this update will NOT appear in your history. For the feature to work, you must actually view the messages in-game at least once! This means that if you value being able to see all past messages, you will need to start a new game.[/p][p][/p][p]More Moan Sounds: Multiple groan and moan sound sets have been added to the game!
In total, there are now 6 different sets, consisting of up to 16 individual sound clips.
Each character in the game has been assigned a fixed "moan set." You will now hear higher/younger-sounding moans, deeper/older-sounding moans, faster, slower, and more.[/p][p][/p][h3]New Languages Added[/h3][p]I am happy to announce that Shattered Minds will also be available in Polish, Turkish, and Simplified Chinese with the V0.23 update! This brings the total number of supported languages up to 11![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]As you can see, V0.23 brings a ton of new changes to the table. I can't wait for you to get your hands on it and let me know what you think![/p]

[p]V0.22 of Shattered Minds is now live on Steam![/p][p]This update is all about Claire, the daughter of Spring Hill's Chief of Police.
