Hey everyone,
I hope you enjoyed the latest, and mostly final update of FILF. Each character's stories were winding down and finally merged into each other for your harem to finally be complete! Today, I wanted to give some information of what is to come next, which is obviously... FILF2!

FILF2 will feature a brand new story, city and cast of characters! Starting a new game from scratch is always a bit of extra work, but I was able to soften the blow a bit by slowly putting together a lot of the content between FILF updates.

It will take some time to get a steam release as I do not want to feature an early access version until I have a satisfying amount of content ready to go, but I do want to give everyone an idea of what to expect. Below are a hefty amount of details you should expect when that time comes.

A new rendering system for crisp, high quality imagery and animations:

I'm upgrading the rendering system for FILF2 with a new program that'll give much higher detail scenes and animations from the get go. Better skin textures, better setting details and so much more. Also, all images/animations will go form FILF's 1280x720 to 1920x1080 resolution.

New cast of characters:

A complete new cast of characters will be involved in FILF2's storyline. The new MC will have a more variety cast of characters to interact with along with a larger cast in general. Below is a little showcase of what I'd call the main cast (one's with the most focus with the main story).

Danielle:


Rachel:


Summer:


Vivian:


Caitlyn:


Animated Imagebuttons:

I like to make things more lively if I can, and overall will have a bit more non-lewd animations if the scene calls for it along with all characters on explorable screens to be somewhat animated.

Passage of seasons through the story:

As you progress through FILF2's story, certain intervals will progress through the seasons. Timewise, the game takes place over a year or so, and will begin in Summer, but new animated overworld map will change along with all locations to fit the change of weather (autumn colors, snowy winters or bright colored spring).

Conclusion:

Overall, FILF2's world will be much bigger and with a much more in-depth story. It will take time to really flesh it out, but I'm currently working on the introduction scenes of the main cast for the beginning of the game. Eventually, it will come to steam once I have created enough content for it. I will give periodic updates of FILF2 as I progress through content creation. For now, below are a few images from the beginning of the game

"v0.1.0.5" LIVE *Re-Launched*

Some bug fixes.

Hello Admirals,

We just deployed a minor update featuring essential fixes and improvements, which were possible thanks to your very helpful recent feedback and reports. Please read:

Minor Update v1.3.9.8

• Economy adjustment so that provinces provide more money and so larger empires receive an even more distinct advantage.
  
• Foreign population can now contribute to the army. Modders can tune the new config value "colony_percent_army" if they want a different setting.
  
• Improved Mexico region fixing port issues in the area. Now Mexico is divided into 4 provinces and their new ports cover the surrounding oceans properly. There should be no critical issue caused by this essential improvement but if you notice something, please let us know. A new campaign guarantees no bugs related to this change.
  
• Puerto Rico ceded to the USA after 1900 Campaign Start year.
  
• AI now utilizes shipbuilding capacity in order to manage the ship construction, so it should not overbuild ships.
  
• Crew of new ships is now allocated properly during commissioning.
  
• Fixed a rare bug related that could cause the game to freeze in the game loading screen while ships get auto-generated, happening more often during a campaign starting.
  
• Fixed a rare issue causing a ship that was refitting to stop its progress.
  
• Fixed a bug that could cause players to use ships that have been sold to other minor nations.
  
• Fixed an issue related with crew mechanics which could create NAN funds and permanent damage to the campaign save.
  
• Fixed a minor issue which could cause an inaccurate ship count of players.
  
• Fixed bug that made transport ships to have zero crew.
  
• Fixed problem that made minor allies unable to replenish ammo and fuel.
  
• Fixed bug that could cause rebels to win a territory even when the player had a 100% chance to win.
  
• Various parts and hull fixes/improvements.
  
• Auto-Design optimizations.

Enjoy!
