Time to reload your shotgun and pack your backpack with new weapons and loot from mutants. The latest update brings improvements to A-life and AI, balance tweaks, quality-of-life upgrades, and much more. Time is coupons, so let’s quickly check out what’s new in the Zone and gear up for the next raid for some sweet habar.

For the release of Patch 1.5, we have prepared a trailer for this update — Guns & Looting Showcase is here!

• A-Life changes

  • Life in the Zone is now simulated for all characters, not just those in the player's view.

  • Characters continue to live their lives and pursue their goals in the Zone until they meet their end.

  • The player can meet the same stalkers after some time.

  • Players may encounter more A-Life characters resting or interacting in various locations, adding to the world’s immersion.

  • Characters will no longer respawn directly in front of the player. When the player clears the mutants' lair, for example, those mutants won't simply reappear moments later.

  • A-Life Director will no longer respawn characters at the edge of visualization. Instead, respawn moved further away from the player, while maintaining the Zone's population.

  • Visualization range is slightly increased. Characters now appear in visualization range with relevant animations and equipped weapons. This reduces the "pop-in" effect and contributes to a more seamless character visualization.

• Added new anomaly: Water Electric Tornado.🌪️

• Added Three-Line Rifle weapon.

• Added new handgun Kora.

• Added the new feature: looting of mutant parts.

• Added displaying of available artifact slots for armors in the Upgrade tab.

• The player stash window is increased in size.

• Fixed an issue when the "Take all" button becomes inactive after putting any item to the loot window.

• Added unlockable "Fix all" button in the technician's upgrade menu, to repair all equipped gear.

• Added reload renewal feature for all of the weapons.

Hey there, love-struck scholars! 📚💘

Today, we invite you to dive deeper into the Love n Life: Happy Student universe, a place bursting with unique personalities, unpredictable moments, and women who are not yet in your league (but you’ll try anyway).

You’ve already met our three main heroines in the public demo, but guess what? This school is packed with even more fascinating ladies just waiting to test your emotional GPA.

Let’s start by revisiting a couple of unforgettable faces you might have already encountered.

If you played the demo, chances are you met Yalin… and you’re still recovering. How do we describe her? Intense? Unyielding? The final boss of tsunderes? Let’s settle on: strong personality. Yes, strong. Definitely not “chews you up and spits you out in the tutorial.” Nope. Never.

You may have noticed her surname, Liu, which connects her to Liu Yating. But don’t let the family tree fool you: these two are as different as tofu and ghost peppers. In “Socialize,” Yalin brings a unique challenge. Even if you didn’t ask for it. (But c’mon, some girls are just born to make you suffer. It builds character.)

Equip the right items. Study her patterns. Endure the psychological warfare. And if… if you crack that tough shell, oh boy… Prepare for… interesting things. Very, very, very interesting things. Also, don’t forget to drill that hole in your wall. It’s… important. Don’t ask. Just trust us, okay.

Winning Yalin over might make you laugh through tears. Mostly tears. But if you manage it, congratulations: you’re now qualified to date literally anyone. On Earth. Maybe even Mars.

Nari doesn’t show up with a bang. She glides in like a plot twist you never saw coming. A foreign transfer student with mysterious talents, Nari has you on her radar, which is either flattering or terrifying. Possibly both.

At this elite university, genius often walks hand in hand with chaos. (But not you. You’re totally normal. Right?) To unlock the secrets hidden behind Nari’s sweet, heart-melting smile, you’ll need more than smooth talk. Prepare your “Socialize” gear wisely. Stay alert. That angelic aura? It’s probably a trap. You’ve been warned.

Once her seal breaks, her storyline will leave you jaw-dropped, emotionally confused, and possibly calling a doctor. (Preferably one trained in anime-induced whiplash.)

And that’s just scratching the surface. In our next posts, we’ll unveil even more wild personalities enrolled in Love n Life: Happy Student. So, grab your backpack, sharpen your pencils, and mentally prepare yourself. Because in this school, knowledge isn’t just power, it’s survival.

🎯 Wishlist Love n Life: Happy Student now if you haven’t already!  🗓️ Mark your calendar for July 11, you won’t want to miss your next study session with these irresistible ladies and the big discount.

Greetings from Team Tapas!

We thank everyone who participated in the recent 0.6.0 beta test. Based on your valuable feedback, we have now updated the standard version of the game.

• The following changes will be applied with the update:

  • If you have saved the game in the middle of a run, Sil will return to her home in the corresponding chapter.

  • High scores from the Challenge Chapter will be reset.

    • However, records achieved in version 0.5.n will be saved separately and may be displayed through a different UI in the future.

    • ※ Progress made in the 0.6.0 beta will also be reset.

• If you have learned the counterattack skill, the special “Underwater Map” that appears under specific conditions starting from Chapter 2 will no longer appear.

• When selecting a reward to remove a tag, you can now choose and remove any tag from all existing tags.

• Dice Shop

  • When replacing a spell’s attribute upgrade, the selected attribute will no longer appear among the choices.

  • Fixed a bug where after getting all four scissor attribute upgrades, only the attribute selected for replacement would appear as an option when trying to switch attributes.

Due to this round of balance changes, most builds now deal significantly more damage. To compensate, enemy health has been increased across all chapters. Additionally, the activation timing of new mechanics introduced in each chapter has been moved forward by one chapter, allowing new players to access core systems more quickly. For Chapter 4, no new systems will be introduced yet, but side missions and rewards will be added in a future update.

• Synergies are now available starting from Chapter 1.

• The number of floors per domain has been increased by 1.

• The enemy health scaling curve has been adjusted as follows:

  • First battle: No changes.

• Final boss: ~260% increase.

• Relics and the dice shop now appear from Chapter 2.

• The enemy health scaling curve has been adjusted as follows:

• First battle: No changes.

• Final boss: ~203% increase.

• Players can now select new scissors starting from Chapter 3.

• The enemy health scaling curve has been adjusted as follows:

• First battle: ~10% increase.

• Final boss: ~61% increase.

• The enemy health scaling curve has been adjusted as follows:

  • First battle: ~13% increase.

  • Final boss: ~68% increase.

Some high-difficulty attack patterns have been toned down to make them easier to avoid. For Nahatra’s second phase in Chapter 4, since the difficulty of her attack patterns has been reduced, the damage she deals has increased. This change is intended to discourage players from simply ignoring her attack patterns in favor of clearing the fight by tanking hits.

• First Phase: Added warning indicators to some of her attack patterns.

• Intermission Phase: Adjusted the position of the safe zone during the final explosion pattern to make it easier to reach.

• Second Phase (Chapter 4): Lowered the difficulty of various attack patterns but increased damage to maintain the overall difficulty of the battle.

• Intermission Phase: The health of the spider cocoons has been reduced by ~30%.

Compared to Normal mode, the lack of invincibility frames (i-frames) during dashes in Hard mode made it difficult for players to attempt higher difficulties. As a result, we’ve decided to add i-frames to dashes in Hard mode as well.

※ We are currently considering the addition of a new Nightmare difficulty in the future, where difficulty cannot be changed and dashes will not have i-frames, as originally intended.

• Hard Mode: Added i-frames to dashes

To create a smoother first-time experience while encouraging more natural retry loops, we’ve reduced Sil’s base health but improved other aspects of her gameplay. Additionally, we’ve slightly increased her movement speed and improved the invincibility duration after taking damage.

• Increased base movement speed from 5 m/s to 6 m/s.

• Reduced base health from 50 to 25.

• Increased the player’s invincibility duration after taking a hit from 0.3 seconds to 0.5 seconds, with a gauge now showing the remaining invisibility duration.

• Adjusted the way Sil takes damage so that the player will not take multiple hits simultaneously in the same frame.

• Fixed an issue where invincibility frames were not applied properly when hit during the use of Butterfly Step.

We have adjusted the beginning structure of the upgrade table and the value of certain enhancements to align with Sil’s new base stats and the attack speed of each scissor variant.

Row 1, Column 1

• Before: Scissor attack speed +0.25 attacks/sec

• After: Scissor attack speed +0.2 attacks/sec

Row 1, Column 2

• Before: Max HP +10

• After: Max HP +5

Row 1, Column 3

• After: Max HP +10

Row 2, Column 2

• Before: Movement speed +0.5m/sec

• After: Movement speed +0.25m/sec

We have adjusted the effects and values of various buffs to improve their viability. For Magic builds, players can gain stacks of Spell Rampage from critical hits with magic scissors and use a stack of Spell Ramage to increase the damage of a skill. For Sharpness builds, the maximum amount of Sharpness that can be gained has been increased, allowing Broken Scissors and Giant Scissors to dish out more damage than before.

• Increased Sharpness Max Count: 200% → 400%

• Reworked Spell Ramage functionality:

  • Before: Increased the damage of a skill based on how much Spell Ramage you had and reset after use.

  • After: Skill damage deals +30% damage and consumes 1 stack of Spell Ramage.

• Increased Spell Enhance Max Count from 50% → 60%

We’ve increased the base attack speed of all scissors to improve the feel of the first playthrough of the game. Broken Scissors has also been modified to be the best choice for builds that focus on close-range sustained damage. On the other hand, Giant Scissors’s Sharpness efficiency has been decreased to balance out the increase in overall Max Sharpness Count.

Normal Scissors

• Attack speed: 1.5/sec → 1.8/sec

Giant Scissors

• Attack speed: 0.8/sec → 1.1/sec

• Sharpness efficiency: 3x → 1.5x

Magic Scissors

• Bug fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where repeated casts under certain conditions wouldn’t charge the critical hit counter

Broken Scissors

• Functionality changed:

  • Before: Attacks the enemies with Scissors. After a fixed number of hits, the next attack will be a Critical Hit.

• Damage: 40% → 80%

• Attack speed: 3.5/sec → 2.8/sec

• Hits required for critical: 2 → 1

Attribute Changes

We have adjusted the Magic attribute for scissors so that it aligns with the effectiveness of the Spell Rampage buff.

  • After: When Scissors inflict a Critical Hit, gain 1 stack of Spell Rampage.

Base Ability

• Before: Blocks most damage for 0.25s. Upon blocking an enemy attack, become immune to all damage for 0.5s and attack all nearby enemies.

• After: Blocks most damage for 0.3s. Upon blocking an enemy attack, become immune to all damage for 0.7s and attacks all nearby enemies.

• Cooldown: 16s → 15s

Attribute Changes

  • After: When Counter inflicts a hit, gain 150% Sharpness.

• Cooldown

  • Before: When Counter inflicts a hit, decrease the cooldown of other cooldown based skills by 2s.

  • After: When Counter inflicts a hit, the Cooldown of Counter is reduced by 3s.

We increased Summon Doll’s attack range so the skill handles attacking groups of enemies better. To balance its high utility with Scissors and Sharpeness builds, we have slightly reduced its damage output.

Base Ability

• Attack range: 3m → 5m

• Attack width: 0.8m → 1.5m

Attribute Changes

• Scissors

  • Before: When a Doll inflicts a hit, 45% of Scissors damage is inflicted as Additional Damage.

  • After: When a Doll inflicts a hit, 20% of Scissors damage is inflicted as Additional Damage.

We originally designed this skill as a core spell for Charge builds, but it no longer fits that role. So we’ve removed its built-in additional Charge.

Base Ability

• Charges: 1 → 0

We’ve enhanced certain attributes to bring this skill closer in performance to Shadow Surge.

Attribute Changes

• Version 0.7.0 will include side missions and a card system update.

• Version 0.8.0 will introduce a new epilogue chapter.

We are currently testing and finalizing the 0.7.0 update and plan to release this as soon as possible, and we plan to release the 0.8.0 update sometime mid to late July.

The schedule and content above are subject to change depending on our development progress. We will provide further updates as soon as more concrete details are finalized.

As always, we sincerely thank all of you who continue to show us your love and patience. We will do our utmost to deliver a more polished and complete game in return.

Thank you!
