I have sent out the links for the 0.3 beta version to $20 patrons. I apologize for being a bit quiet this month, I'm having a hell of balancing work, school, and this game! But it's all good, keeps me busy.
Anyway this update is pretty large. The beta version is missing a few scenes which will be finalized in the full 0.3 release. Expect that next week. This update is largely a system/scene content update. Next update is going to be primarily a story advancement update now that I feel like there is some meat to the core gameplay loop.
Changelog:
Plugin changes:
- Added new Sex Status menu, shows sex stats and has a picture of Astrid's crotch which will change depending on level of sexual experience.
- Added arousal system, which is unlocked after doing the three orgasm book masturbations. I have more plans for this system, but at the moment it affects the bed masturbation scenes, and will affect a scene I'm working on adding to the game.
- New system message plugin: should work a little better. Time of day changes will be more obvious
- New time of day system: I tried to make this backwards compatible with the old plugin, let me know if there are any issues. The day is split into 3 main parts. Time does pass in realtime while you are walking around outside.
- New Scene plugin: Changes the way images are displayed to the screen. Went through nearly every event in the game and removed Fade to black/Fade ins
- New Scene Animation plugin: Allows me to animate multiple images in scenes, and they continue to play in the background regardless of dialog.
- New standing picture plugin that should work a little better and be less upkeep
- Changes to clothing/exposure system. Astrid will now have to unlock the ability to take off more clothing in addition to lust checks. I made this change so that I can keep things more consistent, and also so I can create events introducing further states of undress, which should be fun
New scenes/content:
- Calder and his Magic shop have a new look
- 2 new bed masturbation scenes. Max arousal scene has dialog which changes depending on what caused her current state of arousal
- 2 new Magic Shop lab scenes. The second one I think is pretty great.
- New character Marcus, and the ability to work off the inns rent. No scenes with him yet, hopefully soon.
- New character Freja: She can be found in the north part of town during night. She has a few story events, which lead to unlocking the ability for Astrid to go streaking at night.
- There are multiple different events and scenes for streaking. The events are randomized so that you don't see the exact same ones each time, but the randomization is very generous. One new main character, I have another full scene rendered out for him I just haven't got it into the game yet.
- First handjob scene is finished for Don Trainer. This one took a LONG time to render because I did a set for each outfit. Following scenes will have Astrid strip to cut down on render time.
- I have the images rendered out for the Don Trainer flashing daily task, just haven't got them in the game yet. They will be available on full 0.3 release.
Small changes:
- An image of Astrid is displayed when you go to sleep, which changes depending on lust level/arousal
- Added a couple images for Astrid's first encounter with both Ragnvalder and Don in the prologue.
Thank you guys so much, I have more work to do on this update before I release the regular 0.3 to $10 Patrons, but I promise it will be on time. I wanted to release this to make sure there aren't any glaring issues first.
