ITCH | MEGA | ITCH-DELUXE | MEGA-DELUXE
It is time to bundle the work of the past months into a new major update - still in the beta phase though! We are missing two more H-CGs to the road of the 1.3.0 release next month to complete the new events introduced in this update.
As usual, let's do a quick recap of what's new in this update. For details I refer to the prerelease devlog posts. Starting as usual, to put the update into a brief sequence of numbers we have 6 new lewd scenes, 1 new Earth Hair Style, 1 new Roya costume, 4 new H-CGs, the first non-H-CG, a new ingame wiki functionality, new variations to Victory Ending B (Roland Partner version), and a bunch more for general polish work.
Let's dive a bit deeper into these new additions (it's been a while since work started on this update so I honestly forgot quite a few before writing this post and only got reminded by the changelog :'D)
1) New Roland events that impact Victory Ending B
Complete Nothing but The Truth in Roland's favor to start these new events showing the consequences of Lorraine falling into Roland's hands. They stretch out all the way into the ending where the related Roland scenes get extra variations. Also try them with a corrupt Rose and without for more sub-variations x_X
The new events should drastically lessen the event repetition until reaching the ending. You also unlock the new costume in this sequence ("Latex Costume") which Aura will be commanded to wear whenever she is in Verdeaux. Check out the NPCs as they react to the change in costume!
2) General Art Additions
Our artist was very fast this update cycle and could keep up with all the budget raises we made thanks to the big inflow of new patrons over the past month. Thanks for everyone's support!
Besides all the illustrations of the new content, we were able to add various illustrations to existing content. The first non-H-CG can be seen in the Aura Reading event chain where we can finally get a glimpse on Alicia's feature in the fashion magazine. The artist in Riverflow tells Aura to adjust her pose for the drawing - the standing image is now updated for this. When selling her panties to a certain guard in Trademond and he throws the money on the ground, you will be able to see an upskirt cut-in. The Roland sex scenes have received variations to reflect Aura's new latex costume.
The maid ending also got one more minor update: The result of Alicia's maid giving into Arwin is now illustrated and has a brief scene instead of just doing a simple fade-in old character sprite, fade-in new sprite.
Finally, if Aura has unlocked an event that either gave her Twintails or Twindrills, Alicia will now have an alternate hair style choice for the sidetail to give Aura Twintails in the Earth scenes, including the necessary H-CG updates x_X
I think all these variations and smaller illustrations should do good work in generally uplifting the quality of the game.
3) Technical Work and General Polish
On the final section, thanks to our assistant developer Trihan we also have a couple of technical quality of life improvements. The three main ones to name here:
An ingame wiki that can be found in the Compendium. It records all afflicted states, seen tutorial messages, and also comes with a general section on mechanical explanations so you can easier find your way into the game, especially when coming back to it after a hiatus.
A "Skip Unseen Text" option that when toggled off will turn off skipping when reading a new block of text you have not encountered in any playthrough. Very useful when you are on NG+ and only want to read new texts.
A set of "Special Effects" options that allow you to turn off various effects such as screenshakes, flashes, etc. Also mostly intended for NG+ so when you are skipping through all the text with the associated effects, you don't go blind from the effects. :'D
Besides that, most other polish work is more in the background this time around. Trihan checked out performance hotspots and worked down to eliminate them one-by-one. For translators we have a new mod that we deploy by default the "translation-tools" mod. It allows translators to translate a lot of texts in-game. We also worked quite a bit on cutting down technical debt and copy&paste to reduce the translation efforts on repeated strings.
I think that covers all the important changes. There are also a couple minor balancing changes that you can checkout in the balancing section fo the changelog, but nothing big.
The release is available here on patreon and on the beta branch on steam. Once I have confirmed that everything works, it will go live on itch.io.
