Bayview V0.1.3 Changelog: New Content & NPCs
Bar Expansion: Three new characters—Alison, Savannah, and Olivia—have officially taken up residence at the bar, each featuring unique personalities and dialogue content.
"Buy a Drink" Mechanic:
Spend $25 for a chance to win the affection of one of the bar girls.
If successful, you will immediately unlock "RSP" (Special Interactions) and the "Blackjack" mini-game with that character for the day—no need to meet any standard Affection Level requirements!
Kiara's Storyline: The "Late Night Clinic" quest has been completed. Successfully finishing this quest will unlock the "Flirt" interaction option for Kiara.
Dynamic Naming System: Fixed an immersion-breaking bug. All NPCs will now correctly use your custom character name instead of displaying the hard-coded default name.
Stability & Compatibility
Save File Compatibility: Added a backend patch to ensure that save files from v0.1.2 remain fully compatible with this update.
This update focuses primarily on optimizations and improvements to game stability and "Quality-of-Life" features, based directly on your feedback.
