Changelog SandStorm v2.0 (compared to version v1.0):

This is the complete version of SandStorm including all the bonus content that were made during the lifetime of the game, some new content, and an interesting new ending. The gameplay has been simplified for better control of the story, and the dialogues should be more pleasant to read as the game went through a complete proofreading. The interface has been reworked to be more practical. Thanks again to all the helpers.

— Gameplay rework :

• Added an NTR filter swydpbox.com at the start of the game to disable the options that can lead to such contents
• For each ending (except the bad ones), you will receive a mark (xx/20) to rate how well you completed that path
• You well get a hint to know it the ending you reached will lead to a sequel or not.
• Lust & Romance points have merged to become Relationship points and the Mood/Affinity (%) has been reworked for an easier control of your story.
• The evil points are replaced by mystical points and those will be visible in the stats interface for easier control of your playthrough
• Removed the hidden “Rionora” variable. To enter this path now, you just need to maintain a good relationship with both girls.
• The triggers for the night event in the Oasis have been reworked. This event’s outcome will mostly decide your paths later on.
• When pursuing Nora, if you’re in her path, you will share Rion’s quad and not Maddie’s quad anymore. The possibility to swydpbox.com from Nora to Maddie has been removed as it didn’t work out well.
• The Rion&Nora endings can now also be reached from Nora’s path
• Two endings are now available for Rion&Nora depending on whether you gave the stone to Maddie or not
• Forcing Rion to do nasty stuff in the factory will now necessarily push you to the mystical path

— Gui rework :

• New main menu
• Transformed the Music / Gallery / Replay / Endings Rooms into a Tribute Room for each girl, which allows you to store and unlock all the important content of your favorite girl
• Removed the vignettes with the heads to give more space to the text
• Improved the GUI to give more visibility to the text
• Improved the live stats screen to have better control of your playthrough
• Improved the summary screen at each end of day, with a compass to indicate where you seem to be heading to

— Art/Media rework :

• Replaced ~100 renders for quality improvement, especially during the first part of the game
• Added ~100 sliding HD renders to improve the art and the immersion of important scenes
• Added ~200 new renders for the new scenes and endings
• The long Ghajareya Bellydance movie clip with Nora has been transformed into an interactive scene
• Replaced a dozen songs with even more suitable ones
• Reorganization of the soundtrack, SFX sounds and music tracks are now linked to the proper audio channels
• You can now click during the “auto-play” atmospheric scenes, to scroll through the images at a faster pace without skipping the scene.

— Script rework :

• A lot of grammar and spelling mistakes have been corrected. It went through a few proofreaders and editors, and you should feel a noticeable improvement on that aspect.
• Many sentences have been rewritten in the few first scenes to reduce a bit the childish behavior of the characters at the start.
• Rion’s love story has been slightly reworked. A few alternative choices that didn’t bring much to the story were removed. Rion is naturally cute and kinky, so she can make lust and romance work together.
• Nora’s love story has been significantly reworked to make it more plausible considering the context and the timeline. Her reaction toward mystical actions will be more consistent.
• Maddie’s love story was already pretty solid and lust/romance was not affecting much her path so it didn’t need much rework but there are more content in the same playthrough due to the merge of lust and romance scenes.
• The evil/mystical path has received several tweaks and is now more straightforward.
• The dialogues on the bus, in the back of the truck, and on the quad are reworked accordingly.

— New content :

• Reworked the jazz option in the jukebox which leads to a slow with Maddie (day 1)
• Reworked the bellydance show of the Ghajareya troop
• Added a funny/lewd scene with Maddie when visiting her room after Nora’s night show when not enough points (day 2)
• Completed the locker room lewd scene with College Maddie. (day 3)
• Completed the romantic version of the dream scene with Nora swinging on her ring (day 3)
• Completed the mystical version of the dream scene with Nora swinging on her ring (day 3)
• Added a “mystical” scene with Nora in the Anubis temple (day 3)
• Added a lesbian scene in the Oasis (day 3)
• Completed the cumflation scene with Rion in the factory (day 4)
• Completed the cumflation scene with Maddie in front of the gate (day 4)
• Ending L (Rion) has been completed with a striptease scene
• Ending S (Nora) has been completed with more lewd scenes and animations
• Ending F (Maddie) has been completed with more hot/lewd scenes
• Ending P (Rion&Nora) is a new ending which happens if no one opens the portal

— 12 Endings :
3 BAD ENDINGS: A D E
4 SPECIAL ENDINGS: B L S T (good endings but final)
2 ALTERNATIVE ENDINGS: P F (linked to a future episode but not the 2nd)
3 MAIN ENDINGS: M N R (linked to episode 2)

Note : Saves from SandStorm v1.0 might not work with SandStorm v2.0, as the gameplay is pretty different. It is advised to start a new game to enjoy SandStorm v2.0 at its fullest.
