v0.4.2 is here!
🕑 Added 2021-12-01 15:50:34 +0000 UTC
So I really wanted to start this post with a passage from Last Christmas, you know... with Stiffness instead of Christmas... but then I remembered that I didn't even like the song and... ah well.. I didn't really manage any other "good" wordplays... so here we are... great talk.
Anyways, that's not why you are here. You want to play the new version of BMO TV, right? Well, oh boy, do I have a hell of an update for you.

If you get an error message during unpacking, don't worry, it should still work. I'm just using a new way to pack the zips automatically because of the larger file sizes (a lot of new stuff). But so far nobody had problems with unzipping apart from the message popping up in 7zip.
Here are the main features of this new version:
Advent Calendar
Every day until Christmas Eve, you will be able to open up a package in the living room. Find the package with the number of the day, and inside you will find a new piece of clothing for you to keep forever. It will unlock on the store, even for your next playthrough. There are a few sparkling package only for Alpha testers, that will unlock on the beta tier on December 25th.
This whole thing is a big thanks from me to the community. I love advent calendars. They are great to get into that Christmas spirit. I have a whiskey tasting one on my table this year, and I have been making one for my wife every year since I can remember. So this year, since you've been so awesome to me, I wanted to do one for you all. It was very stressful to get it all done, but it's all worth it if you'll enjoy the experience and don't peek before it's time! Happy Holidays!
New Asylum Stories
The main new story content this patch are the Asylum stories. During Halloween last month we went on a lot of ghost trains in the Prater in Vienna and that inspired me to write a few weird stories. If you want to know how to trigger them, you can check the Walkthrough. These are dark twisted (non-sexual) bad endings, that'll haunt you in your sleep. I'm really happy with how they turned out audio-visually as well, so be sure to check them out. And yes, for all those people who are sensitive when it comes to stories about mental health, there is a warning in-game. Be sure to keep your eyes open.
New TV Studio
Just a few days ago I got the awesome new graphics for the tv studio, and spend a whole morning animating all the little lights. I love the end result. Hopefully it'll make the end-of-week shows less of a pain for your characters. ;)
New Abigail Pool Graphics
So here's a bit of new information. Last month I had planned on getting our main character artist Awn a full occupation position, but it turns out that either he doesn't understand what that means, or he just doesn't have the time for it. So, I reached out to a friend of mine, who is an awesome illustrator, and got her into a contract for the in-world NPC characters and scenes. There is no language barrier there, and she does an awesome job. She is of course a little bit more expensive, but she's also way faster. So this month, she did a few tests and finished the Abigail pool graphics. She's still finding the rhythm with the art style so please be a little bit patient for now, but I think starting around january, the NPC art pipeline should become a lot better.
Unlockables
Last but not least, because I had already implemented the concept of "Unlockable Clothes" for the Advent calendar, I took it one step further and implemented clothes for a lot of the bad endings of the game. Now, when reaching certain bad endings, you will see a popup notification, that'll tell you that certain clothes have been unlocked. You'll be able to buy these in the shop for all future playthroughs on the same device.
One more quick explanation on the WebGL version. For the longest time of the Alpha stage it looked like I wasn't even able to produce any working WebGL build anymore, but luckily today I found a solution in reducing the graphics quality of the player character on that platform. It's not loading anything when it has to handle large amounts of graphics, so it's either that or no version at all. Thing is though, it also means that building takes an hour now, because Unity has to import different graphics for everything for both platforms so I'm probably not going to do WebGL Alpha versions in the future, but hey... at least it works again, yay.
Wow... this month was a pain in the ass. I'll be honest, it was a lot more work than I should do, but I really enjoy giving presents more than anything, so this is a special version for me.
Hope you enjoy the patch. Let me know what you think. I hope you understand that I'll have to take a few days off after the crunch of the last days. It's the FFXIV Endwalker release anyways. ;)
Best,
Rel

Thanks.
Rel
Maybe try ctrl - to zoom out the page?
Rel
Sorry, not sure how to help you. It’s there. You could get more help on the Discord I guess.
Aaron Hopkins
I'm still not seeing it.
Rel
it‘s on the bottom of the download Page.
Aaron Hopkins
I'm getting the same issue. Also how do you access the walkthrough?
Rel
Check the walkthrough on the download page
Jeanne auscours
how did you find it? i am completely stuck on it please help T-T x)
Rel
Yes yes got the report a lot although you did break Himari‘s trust as your ally I assume? Evil people. You will loose your ally status now.
I had an issue where even after returning the stamp, I got the schoolgirl storyline.
Brokenwings
Cracking...I managed to get the stripping off to trigger once....I didn't realize it was linked to feeling uncomfortable.
Rel
Compulsions are triggered randomly when you feel uncomfortable outside of your room. Content unlocks work with the unity player prefs class, not the savegame, so it will persist when updating the version.
Brokenwings
quick couple of questions...Do the compulsions actually do anything yet? - and how are you planning on unlocking the "unlockable content" with different game versions. (yes im that brokenwings)
Found a workaround. If I click and drag the page the behaviour is normal again and I can scroll, until I open the shop again.
Rel
The save files are located at %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Rel_Pink\Bmo-Tv\
Jenny Salissa
Where is the file located? Also, I'm pretty sure the reason Himari went after me and said I stole her stamp was because I'd attacked her first and I guess if she dislikes me enough then she goes the route of transforming me. But the white boxes are a separate recurring issue. I just don't know where the location of the files are
Rel
Can you send it to me in a private message?
Jenny Salissa
I do! What should I do with it?
Rel
do you have the savegame from being a white square?
Jenny Salissa
Amazing as always :) i just encountered a bug. I helped Himari find her stamp and gave it to her and we became friends. But then several days later, following a glitch where my body was a white square, Himari came to me and was angry that I didn't give her her stamp and that I had stolen it. Maybe this is intentional and I'm just missing something? Always amazing! Can't wait for the holiday updates :)
Phaos
i would be upset if you didn't take off to play some endwalker
