Hiya. This is coming out quite a bit later than I would have liked, but here it is.
We mentioned a surprise in the last dev log. Well, here it is! Almost this entire update was written by JLDavenport! He's the head of the FE Lewd Writers discord, and is well known in the community for his stories 'A Change Of Tactics' and 'A Waning Silence'! Read his stories here!
We initially only commissioned him for 4 scenes which would amount to around 5000 words, but he went above and beyond, writing much, much, much more than what we asked for, ending up at around 20 000 words. We are eternally grateful to him, and he wrote so much that we couldn't fit everything into this update, so we're splitting it into two.
Anyway, this update contains the continuation of Aria's training story line, including 8 new story quests, 3 repeatable training scenes, rewritten neediness milestones (courtesy of JLDavenport) and an option to sleep with Aria (The wholesome way).
Along with that, the time system has been reworked to give a better since of time progression, and the introduction has been further reworked to give a better tutorial of the game. This tutorial rework may affect some of you with later saves in that they may still trigger even if you are in a later part of the story, but you can just play through these events without it affecting your save overall, so don't worry about that.
Finally, sleep with interactions have been added to all 6 main heroines, with more to be added to this system in the future.
Also, we caved and added a 0 in front of the version numbers because we kept getting DMs about v 1 meaning it's completed. Congratulations, you people won.
