I'm very excited to announce that the first new playable character has now entered the field!

When I first created this character in 2012 it became clear pretty quickly that she'd be the most polarizing out of all the other characters (except for Leonora, she's a special case, haha). She is a good fighter and has above average defensive capabilities, however her HP could be better! With the introduction of this character a few additional gameplay mechanics have also been added.

If the XTC G!rl wins fights or levels up it will increase the worth of her sponsor company, in this case Pleasure-Tek. However, if she loses fights, stocks will plummet. This can create some very interesting scenarios in which some people who've invested in a clever fashion can gain a lot of money quickly, but if X loses too many fights, people could  go broke! If you want to invest in her sponsor is up to you to decide, but it could be very lucrative!

Apart from this, her second ability is that she can spend AP at home to hold a concert which will bring her money. The amount of money she makes depends on Pleasure-Tek's stock value.

So, as you can see very much depends on how well her paymasters are doing. All of these new abilities are very flexible by the way, which means they can be implemented for your custom modded characters as well with different effects! You could use a different company as sponsor for example, have different payout rates as well as other pictures at the Home Screen. Just a quick example: Have someone share some flyers of Pizzeria Paradise for a quick buck!

Up next is a new random Event Card which can have a huge effect on the playing field:

If you're going for a fighting victory this card is very bad news, but for everyone else it's a godsend. I am pretty sure that this generous card will help out a lot of characters in a tight spot quite the amount of times!

That is all for this SYS Update! For a full list of what this patch does, please refer to the Changelog below:

• Added "XTC G!rl" as playable character.
• Added the ability for custom characters to be sponsored by one of the big global companies (except for Sirinus Abell).
• Added the ability for custom characters to spend AP to get money from home depending on the value of their sponsor.
• Added "Make Love, Not War" to the random Event Cards pool.
• Changed Bounty mechanic so that a Bounty can now also be claimed if the defender defeats the attacker who had a bounty placed on.
• Fixed a Bug which would cause the Player's Character to run off the board if they clicked extremely fast on the "Don't Stay at Home" button shortly after they clicked on the "Don't fight Button".
• Fixed a Bug in which the amount of money you've made by selling Lexi's used Spats would not get added to the "Total Amount of Money earned" stats at the endscreen.

I hope you'll have fun with the game! Please stay tuned for further updates in the future! ('ᴗ')
