This update is big one (97 items in the changelog)!
Animated interactions, a new weekend date (restaurant) that has some extra mechanics,
bathing together, new smartphone apps..., and new mechanics to keep Imouto happy and thriving!
A few highlights:
Animated Interactions: when you click on Imouto she will now appear animated (blinking, swaying and breathing). This is a first iteration, and it might be a bit slower than just static images. I tried increasing the RAM allocation for the game, and animated screens are now predicted (and put into RAM) at strategic points during the game. Further optimisation will be likely.
Restaurant Date: a new weekend activity where you take Imouto to a middle-class restaurant. This takes place after the City Fair visit and before the Karaoke visit. Doing this unlocks Making Out and
bathing together, along with a chance to change your career (except for Salarymen) and what type of far future you're envisioning with Imouto.
Bathing Together: you can now bathe together with Imouto after you did the Restaurant date and you comply with enough trust, attraction and good mood, et cetera. You can sit in the tub and watch her clean her cute, petite body or she can help wash your body. After the Karaoke date she can also give Oniichan a handjob.
Bug Fixes (Make Gaining Trust Great Again): I've fixed the weekend bug where repeated weekend activities wouldn't give you Trust or Attraction anymore. This was a major issue in 0.40b where many players go stuck. In 0.41b you can now expect to get to the first romantic/sexual stuff in 4 to 5 in-game weeks. There is also a

Shampoo and Bathing: you now need shampoo to bathe properly. You can buy it in the obvious places. Imouto not washing properly will lead to her being bullied at school.
Alcohol: Imouto can now develop a taste of Alcohol. Be careful, too much of it and her grades will drop.
Re-Rendered Bathing Scenes: I re-rendered all bathing scenes and re-did some to higher spec and better animated.
Re-Rendered Toilet Scenes: I re-rendered all bathing scenes and re-did some to higher spec and better animated.
School Performance: she will now have a School Grade which is impacted by her School Performance. Take good care of her so her School Performance stays high.
Note: 0.40 saves might not work when you go into the weekend. It is advised to start a new game to reap the benefits of the better starting conditions and boons.
Enjoy, Oniichan!
