Gosh, really? I tried getting it into the billions and couldn't get any lag at all.
Regardless, that's why there's a "Reset Ascension" button in the main menu, just in case.

I've been working on the music, as well as revamping old imagery, but not much in regards to Stella's upcoming update yet. Julie's update burned me out more than expected (common theme), so I had to shift gears and work on whatever sounded the most fun for a while.
For example, I animated one of Kelly's still images yesterday, and applied it to Amy and Julie as well. Day/night versions of each of them constitute my latest Patreon post, but I'll post one here for the fun of it (lower res because of file size limitations).

This game is one of the most bewildering experiences I have had on this forum. I think there is a lot to learn from it. The art can be terrible. The story can be repetitive and nonsensical. The character models are terrifying. The MC is annoying. The GF is somebody you want to cheat on desperately with every member of her family even though she is as sweet as pumpkin pie. The relationship system is a brute force hack. The overall gaming system involving preventing suspicion is more like the vengeance of a Precolumbian trickster god. And the resulting game is... good? I'd give it 4 stars and I have no conception of why. It is entertaining, replayable, and just doggone fun. Can't wait for the next update.

Version 1.4.3, "The Stella Update," Released!
The mirror links need to be updated, but as always, you can find the download for free on Itch:
---
This update adds a little chunk of story for our actual girlfriend, Stella! Unlike the last few updates, this sequence spans just one day and one night. There's also no luck involved; canonically speaking, this scene always happens, though you may skip it if you like.
Added a bunch of new imagery for this scene, nearly tripling Stella's current content (which is not saying much, I know). This includes the only sexual position in the game that isn't front-to-front, lol. It also includes Stella's first animation.
Also revamped Amy's first available sex scene, updating all imagery a bit. If you're lucky, you can view this the first time you study with her (which happens in Chapter 2).
Polished and updated various Kelly, Amy, and Julie imagery and animations randomly. Nothing too major, except Kelly and Amy's first-person missionary animations, which are now brought up to the same level as Julie's.
As usual, this will break all current saves once you reach Stella's event.
---
I'm sorry this took so long, especially since it's a shorter story event than prior ones. Life happened, mixed with motivation problems because I don't get stoked about Stella's content so much. But I wanted to make her a proper sequence, so here it is.
I also got some work done behind the scenes that won't come into play until the sound update.
Next update, though, will introduce a new girl! She won't be nearly as big a character as our main cast, and the current plan is for her to be the only side character you can have sex with. But I'm looking forward to adding her into the mix!
Have fun!

I'm so happy to see this update! If ever there was a character that has gotten short shrift it was Stella, watching her boyfriend slam down on every female member of the trip except her. I hope they get to spend some quality time together and she doesn't mind that he is wearing her mom's perfume.

Free the Nipple! 
Seems strange to lose a large part of your audience over something so random as covered nipples.
Genitals I understand, they look terrible in most porn games anyway. Though showing no oral sex at all is a bit bizarre.
But Nipples? Really?
Got guts, I'll give you that.

ngl the whole not showing genitalia or nipples part has kind of grown on me. i think it definitely adds to the games charm and allows more for my imagination to fill in the gaps.Free the Nipple!

The soft core approach is fine. The whole game concept is interesting, let's see where it goes...Free the Nipple!

Nevertheless, hiding nipples is weird.

But missing nipples are outright creepy!
A single dot would be enough to ease my mind. Otherwise it looks like a mannequin or a botched surgery.

You can check my comment near the top of page 10 to see my in-depth take on this. But I'll elaborate a bit more, because it's clearly my most controversial decision (which is really saying something for a roguelike, cheating, softcore, RNG-gated sex game with a bizarre art style, lol)Free the Nipple!

For what it's worth, like many things in this game, it's just an abstraction. I still consider everyone in-universe to have nipples. I've even considered writing about nipple-play and whatnot during the sex scenes like I do with the genitalia, but I'm concerned it'd be too jarring when you can actually see the region in question devoid of nipples (as opposed to the genitalia region, which is always hidden).
But adding high-quality nipples that don't bother me is a lot more work than you might think. Given that the abstraction of nipple-less boobs doesn't bother me for some reason, I just opted for this route.
Suffice to say, I'm just making this for myself, and I've deemed the effort to not be worth the minor amount of extra stimulation I'd get out of it. Sure, it's nice when the Patreon grows, and compliments are lovely, but I prioritize the fun I'm having making this above all else.
I'll attempt to add nipples in my next project because I'm going to be revamping my style a bit and the workflow I'm considering might make it easier...but no promises.
