It's worth noting that stat changes on equip/unequip for WIL INT and INH usually refresh when you exit the menu, so that might be what threw you off (it seemed to work fine when I tested it). I could update the scripts to make the change appear in the menu right away, but since it's only a handful of items, I am a bit reluctant to invest time in the endeavour (it's more complicated than it seems, due to a mix of engine limitations and my own mistakes when originally designing the game).*No, it didn't trigger the second time. Here the save around this time
**I don't remember you mentioning it. I'll keep an eye open then.
Well, I don't know if you did it on purpose, but it seems like some scenes are missing footage. For instance, when she's working as a secretary in Tarkas's Imperial office. It's described (narrated) as a meeting with her colleagues, where she masturbates to encourage them to work hard. There may be others, but it's hard to say without carefully examining the extracted files I have.
***
****Well, I have to admit I was a little lazy on this minigame, so I'll have to try harder I guess.
Always keep in mind that bugfixes can take a while to show up in the public version (maintaining the Patreon and public version at the same time could lead to more issues than it fixes, so I just pass it over to Patreon first, then the following month that build goes public).
If a scene has no images at all, it's not intended in almost all scenarios, so you can report them whenever you find one. The scene at the office was bugged, and will be fixed in the coming updates (likely in 0.9.26, along with the other fixes we discussed so far).

Ok, I just thought it would better to be safe than sorry like one says, so don't bother with it. Beside, itsn't really much a big deal, like the INH issue. The goal remain the same and we all know itsn't to make Erica a "goody two shoes", right?
Don't worry. I'm well aware of that. Don't take what I say as pressure. I'm already grateful to be able to play.
Ok, I'll try to take some notes whe it happens.
One I aready bumped on, and doesn't happen every time. When Erica is a classroom the afternoon, the left one, there is this girl (I don't remember her name) who likes to put on a little show as an exhibitionist herself, and sometimes, there is no image during the scene.
In another subject, about the dancing minigame at the Red Dune, how many time I have to perfectly perform? I did it about 9 or 10 times but there's no change so far.

As far as the dates go, you are supposed to get them automatically after the cheerleading session if he asks about one before you start training and you agree.
Did he mention a date after a game? I don't remember that one. I don't think the werewolf path should be an issue, since it all should wrap up by the afternoon (so before any of the lycanthropy mechanics trigger).

I could have sworn the date was in the afternoon that same day, but I may have misread it because the next day he came straight after practice and Erica was no longer under the influence of her lycanthropy. Sorry, my bad. No no!... Not the strapon!
Yeah, the few items that do affect stats shouldn't be a big deal. I should have been much more zealous when handling stats in general: for example, I should have always had a message when the stats change, and many more things under the hood could have been better as well. Unfortunately, it's one of those things that are hard to revamp after the fact.
The exhibitionist girl images not showing up is weird, everything seems fine for that one. This is another one where a save might help, if you have it, but I can't imagine what could wrong, as it is extremely straightforward. Note that if it's a save where you haven't met her in the other room before, then her scene won't trigger at all.
In theory, you must do 4 perfect dances and you should be able to see a cutscene at the end of the show with the twin dancers. You have to add 1 perfect dance for each time you have done poorly, though. If you want, I can check your save to either cheat or at least tell you how far off you are from the goal.

As long as there isn't a bug, I am happy.

All good
Unfortunately, I overwrote the save regarding this "issue", but I'll try to make one next time.
Okay, I can't do it anymore. I wanted to try to perform the dance perfectly one more time, just to see, and I completely messed up that last one. In my defense and certainly not for my pleasure, a health problem has resurfaced in the last few days. Long story short, following an accident years ago I almost ended up paralyzed from head to toes and although I recovered quite well, some neurological disorders remained latent, then began to manifest themselves again, causing multiple paresis that took more or less time to treat, and that's what's happening with my right arm. It's almost completely numb from the shoulder to the fingertips. So if you don't mind, I'm going to accept your proposal to "tweak" my save so I can move on.
Here we go. I have set your reputation to 5, which means now it can't go low anymore (the game assumes your fame is solidified by that point, so you can only go up from there).All good

There's nothing to be sorry about, especially since it was entirely my fault. That's what happens when you're a hothead who wants to push the limits of danger. But anyway, thanks for the save.
Oh, and... How dangerous is it to ask the dragon (Baal?) the one found under the sort of temple that looks like an Olsen on the map. I believe he offers to reverse some traits in exchange for his freedom. I understand that if I reverse a trait, the effects will be to invalidate certain actions and scenes, and even make the story inconsistent at some point, but does it really break anything else?

Other than inconsistencies, there shouldn't be other issues (assuming I have done everything correctly).
He can reverse up to three paths (and/or your slut reputation). After that he is free, and that can trigger a bad ending if you didn't talk to him enough times before that point. In the bad ending he transforms you into a dragon and you get a happy dragon family. If you are "friends" with him, he just leaves.

"Working" Meeting (Imperial office: Tarkas)
Here are two saves packed into one file. 27 is before and 28 is after the scene. As you can guess from the file name, this is a scene where the images aren't showing up (on my screen, at least). I'll process this the same way for all scenes with this type of bug. If you can see where the bug is, it should help you find the others (probably the same mechanical issue for all the others).
Or...Unless my copy of the game is broken, this wouldn't be the first time. I should point out, however, that only certain scenes have this flaw. For the other scenes in the Imperial Office, they seem to play out normally. For the exhibitionist scenes at night with Catherine, there are at least two scenes where the images are missing, but I'll try to post for each of them, or both simultaneously if I'm lucky enough to be unlucky, in some way. This should happen fast, as the images for these scenes are never shown (oddly, except in the gallery). Unlike the classroom scene at the magic academy with her fellow exhibitionist. I'll have to save frantically like a nutcase, though. I hope this helps you find the problem(s)

Here, one of Erica + Catherine's two scenes during an exhibitionist night out in Tarkas.
On a side note, once the scene is over, Erica has a surprise visit from Beatrix for the “Grave Robbery” quest, and when she wakes up, another surprise awaits her: a comment appears saying she feels different and should see a doctor. I guess her prayer to Santhora has been answered ^^

Well, Erica is indeed pregnant, as confirmed by the doctors. I chose the paid option for a shortened pregnancy, and I'm now in a cycle that seems to have no end, with a dialog box offering different choices depending on the time of day, but with no freedom of movement, because after each completed action, Erica returns home to Tarkas, and the dialog box opens again. So no more freeroam. Does this cycle end after a given time or number of actions, or do you have to choose, “I'm bored! (skip to giving birth)”?
Also, I discovered (while looking for missing images during certain scenes) that there is a hidden stat; “Good mother score” or something like that. What control do we have over this stat, how does it influence in the game, and what are the actions that influence this score? In other words, how does it work?

For the previous posts: you actually reported these before, and they are fixed (just not in any of the builds currently available). I'll soon release a hotfix for Patreon, so the fix should hit the public build in less than a month, when the new update gets released. As for the reason why these happen, the short answer is "forgetfulness": some scenes deviate a little from my usual workflow, and if I am adding a new scene after a long time (or CGs to old scenes that didn't have them before) I might forget this and end up with the images not showing because they are "hidden" behind a previous fadeout or similar issues. It's all stuff I have to fix manually, there isn't an easy way to automatically scan the code to find these errors, and over hundreds of scenes it sort of happens here and there.
The pregnancy event should last only a few days (your belly should also grow, indicating the pregnancy is progressing). There is no freedom of movement because it would be too complicated to handle, so I opted to make a smaller "sandbox" for the players, instead.
The good mother score influences two things: one of the ending slides (showing whether you are good or not at raising your kids) and there is a combat-related bonus if you are a good mom (feeling "inspired" by your motherhood, so to speak).
You get the bonus and the good ending by visiting your kid(s) at the institute (a place where they take care of your kids while you are out and about adventuring). Note that for old saves there was a bug, so the score might be negative (should be fixed in 0.9.26, if you didn't have babies before). There is also a way in the debug tool to tweak the score, just in case.

Okay, got it. in the same time, You asked me to send a save, so... But whatever. All that matters is that you were able to fix it.
As for my "Good Mom" score, it's indeed negative, and by a long shot. -128 if I remember correctly. As for the baby, it's too late for me, as Erica crossed the line, "as if she didn't do it all the time"
with the Minotaur Chief, no less. Given the warning about these tools, I haven't risked breaking the game until now, but I'll give it a shoot. However, I have no idea how many +1s I've "triggered" to this score so far. If these points are only available during pregnancy, there probably aren't many. As for her growing belly, it was nice and round from day one, and I played the equivalent of five in-game days, so I opted for "I'm bored." I know, I can't help it; I have the patience of a tiger on amphetamines in front of a herd of antelopes.So, I guess for the "Slut" score, it also influences her future at the Imperial Court, and by extend, the Emperor himself!?
Well, that's why I mentioned in another comment to read my replies, I told you those were fixed before, so the save wasn't as necessary (but I guess I should have specified this was just for future bugs, my bad).Okay, got it. in the same time, You asked me to send a save, so...

In the travel sphere, the left side of the starting room has the more "user-friendly" cheats/debug options, so you can generally interact with those and be told what they do without getting in trouble. Baby minotaurs are separate from regular babies, and I am still debating if I should add something for them (as in, the ability to visit them at the village, like you can visit the other babies at the institute).
The main "source" of good mom score, would be visiting the institute, but you can't do that with just kids from Chief Neroma, which is another big reason why I should do something about this. It should take 3 days for the pregnancy to resolve, with each day having the usual morning/afternoon/night split (nighttime has different activities available), are you sure you got to the fifth day?
Yes, the slut score affects the ending with the Emperor if it's too high, and unlocks a handful of scenes around the game.
I keep hearing that the mind control in this game is good. Can anyone explain the theme to me? Is it hypnosis related?
Quite a bit ultimately is. There's straight out side show "you are getting sleepy,"' various drugs to lower mental resistance (Zanti agents use a spell on their new cowgirls and then "you are in my power" closing with "follow the pretty, swirlly pattern."
Edit: fixed tag weirdness

Is there any more content with the snake lady at the circus? I can only get the first scene with looking at her eyes and then dancing with her and the snake. I'm on chapter 2 with 20 willpower and 55 inhibition if any of that matters.
If you are playing 0.9.25, that's it for her. She is still in development, and will get more in the coming updates.
