Sadie Gets a Life – Version 0.2.0 [Middle Tier Games]
Sadie is a perfectly normal office worker living her most mediocre life–that is, until she has a run-in with the legendary Truck-Kun and winds up in another world. Now Sadie is an Isekai Hero(ine) and thankfully, she’s very familiar with the subject, thanks to her love of romance novels and adult video games!
Navigate this new world as Sadie and see what kind of impact she can bring to the land. She’ll become an adventurer, a diplomat, a murder hobo, and much more as she learns more about herself and her recently-upgraded body.
v0.2.0
What’s new:
The first part of Act II, entitled Diplomacy to the East.
Welcome to Svetlanda, the capital of the Eastern Duchy (itself a province of the Royal Kingdom of Greater Humanity)! You’ll get to see the first parts of the city, including the Outskirts, the Adventurers’ District, and the Mercantile District. More districts are forthcoming in later releases.
Get a new party member: Dinestra the Barbarian. She hates mages, lies, skim milk, overuse of contractions, and act-utilitarianism. She loves axes, honor, and the four cardinal virtues.
Sadie gets an assistant: Lexi the adorable catgirl! She’ll become a much more important character as the game goes on, so we only get to see her a little bit in this release.
Lexi brings with her fast travel crystals. Travel around the city in style instead of needing to walk everywhere like a peasant! Fast travel is available near the end of this release’s playable content.
Fight two set-piece battles, as well as some smaller fights.
Sadie can engage in seven new sexy scenes (AI CG). In addition, there are a few cheesecake images that will pop up along the way.
All relevant buildings in the cities will have blue text. Svetlanda is a huge city and Sadie won’t be able to get into a lot of it because these people have locks on their doors, the weirdos. Note that I’ve backported this functionality to Hope Springs as well, in case you ever do another playthrough from the start.
All in all, this is approximately 1.5-2 hours of new gameplay and your existing saves will work with the new release.
What’s better:
Neemar the goblin is now recruitable throughout the first part of Act I if you missed him in the cavern. If you leave Hope Springs without him, well, he’ll miss you.
The opening battles are now smaller in scale, particularly the Goblin Cave. This comes from early player feedback.
Enemies are now somewhat smarter in approaching and attacking Sadie. This will continue to get better as I suck less at RPGM development.
A “death’s door” mechanic is now in place. There is the possibility that your characters may survive an otherwise-killing blow. You’ll know it happens when the player “Survived a devastating blow!” I can’t afford to hire Wayne June, though, so you’ll just have to do the voice yourself.
If you are allowed to escape from a battle, the escape rate is 100%. In normal RPGM games, there’s a probability that you don’t escape and then life gets worse because you lose a turn. For now, the escape rate will be 100% unless there is some in-game reason why you aren’t allowed to escape from a given battle. This may change later.
The game now supports gamepads! It might actually have supported gamepads in the initial release, but I’ve actually tested it for this one. I have tested this on an XBox controller and assume it should work reasonably well on other brands and types.
What’s fixed:
Fixed black screen during Operation Fireball when meeting with Amerinth and Ellanon in the back of the castle.
Fixed issue in the schoolhouse night attack if you left Neemar out of the party.
Fixed a bug that would land you on the tavern roof because Sadie’s a hard worker and maybe a hard drinker.
