The Proteus Effect [v.10.3] (2020) (Rus/Eng) [RPGM] [Proxxie]

v.10.3 - 2023-12-26
=======

v10.2.3
Fixed some bug fixes that caused the game freezing, and added a whole new sex scene

v.0.10.1.1 - 2022.10.24
Fixed bugs relating to Alex sprite appearance (not having the correct outfit displayed, etc)
Fixed bugs in Character View (not displaying the correct image in status menu, etc.)
Fixed issue with duplicates showing up in inventory
Fixed issue with bouncer not letting you into nightclub
Enchantments can now be detached
Gems and enchants can now be applied to equipment without removing it first (in the item menu, you'll see a character's name next to equipment if it's currently worn. Use that.)
Talent Show scene will no longer play if you're going for a "virgin route" (though you can still unlock it later in the recollection room if you did everything else to get it.)
Shield Wall no longer halves healing received (this is a very old bug I somehow missed)
Fixed issue with Cute Pajamas sprite not showing up in xmog interface

v0.9.8
2 new H-scenes
7-ish quests, depending on how you count
1 (small) dungeon
2 boss fights
1 minigame
New district
Several new skits
An autosave feature
A vast number of fixed bugs
Improved game performance (hopefully)
Approximate new content playtime: 5-7 hours

v0.9.2
"0.9.1 introduced a bug that prevented pre-0.9 saves from being able to load, and this release fixes that"

9.1
"This is mostly a bugfix release; it fixes a wide range of bugs, but probably the most important are:

The game getting stuck for some players after defeating the boss at Lake Spear
Dutchess Duskveil not properly recognizing that you'd fetched all her items (for Ecchi Quest)
Nighttime scenes with Val messing up when you travel upstairs/downstairs
This release also includes a fix for people who were having problems with the lighting plugin. If you did, the game likely crashed when you opened it, and the error message had something about 'Khas' (KhasAdvancedLighting, etc.) in one of the lines. If this describes your problem, follow the instructions in the "Lighting Problems Fix" folder, and let me know if you have any issues. Doing so will disable the lighting, but if you had this problem you wouldn't be able to see it anyway.

I've included an FAQ with this release, too - please let me know if there's anything you think ought to be added!

Finally, I did a little more editing of dialogue for the last half of the recruitment quest; I'd cut editing a little short when I was trying to get the release out. Oh, and I also corrected a number of spelling errors, some from very early in the game."

2 new H-scenes
7-ish quests, depending on how you count

1 new H-scene with 29 images

Bugfixes, other minor changes

v0.7.1
Added small quest to familiarize player with easy modes
Revised easy mode for The Dark Pits dungeon
Added a map to the '10 bomb room' (AKA bomb puzzle room)
Fixed a number of issues with the hospital minigame
Various other fixes
As you can see, this update mostly deals with easy modes. I'll talk more about why I felt that was needed - and about 0.7 generally - in my post this Sunday or so. Here's what's different in Dark Pits easy mode:
The boss fight is only the first phase (and his HP has been adjusted accordingly)
Easy mode skips the waterfall level and most of the long stream level
Bombs should actually deal reduced damage (I don't think they did before >_< )
The new quest is pretty short; I just added it so there's some game mechanism that unambiguously lets players know that easy modes exist. You'll find the quest giver in Ogremarsh any time after you start the recruitment quest for the Bunnies.

v0.6.1
Resolved issue that could result in player being stuck shortly after meeting the Bunnies by the dungeon
Made Human Registration Card equippable (by Ana)
Resolved issue that could cause unexpected Game Over after miniboss
Party members should no longer leave unexpectedly in Jovi's imp quest area
Glowfrog and Jovi's imp quests should behave more sensibly
Hospital behaves as expected when re-entering after completing quest
(Maybe?) Resolved issue that could cause post-hospital event to behave unexpectedly
Fixed bugs in the party changing sequence outside of dungeon
Changed the way saves are handled on macOS

v0.6
The very beginning of a new dungeon (more about that below)

Bunnies now have conversation portraits (including 0.5.x conversations)
Introduced the recollection room, which lets you see H-scenes you’ve previously unlocked
New enemy art and aesthetic (and some animated ones)
New healing minigame
New abilities for Alex and Ana
New combat classes and abilities
A hidden repeatable boss! (How many times can you beat him?)
Introduced a credits page
