ToA - New Weekly Build! (v0.2.09.2) (Patreon)

Well then. With the battle UI done, the path has been unlocked. We've been logjammed behind it for a while, but that ends now, which is why the changelog below is almost as long as some of the monthly changelogs. 

Let's get the content first: there's a new scene when you first meet Urka which uses the mating press art, which also shows up in battle if Urka lays into you missionary style.  There's also a new Beastmistress encounter on the second map with two possible outcomes if you fall for her trap. There's a few new character portraits, the new Gadgeteer cage-locking art, and some new status icons.

Now for new features: virginity (and other interactions) is now tracked for almost all characters, not just combatants, so it will now properly display if you lose your anal virginity to, say, the Dryad, or your dong virginity to the beautiful Elf lady, or your mouth virginity, tragically, to the Mouth Fiend. 

We added an Advantage status effect that is going to be similar to a few others - gained from using certain skills, and consumed by others for powerful effects. Some of these kinds of status effects will also be from erotic actions, or consumed by them as well.

There's a weapon grip mechanic now that works similar to armor durability, only a weapon id disarmed when you run out of grip, and can now be re-equipped under such a circumstance. Weapon grip regens each turn based on Strength, and is reduced by parrying strong attacks, being hit on the wrist, or from special disarming attacks (like Riposte - try learning Parry and then test it out!)

Footshots now destabilize your opponent, and Headshots Daze them, which can lead to Stun. That's why some enemies are now wearing helmets, gloves, and boots, and why you can level up those called-shots skills to get more of those special effects in to sensitive areas.

Those skills, and others, are now gated behind stats rather than levels. Levels will still be important, but not for unlocking skills.

There's a few more improvements to the battle UI - you can now see weapon grip, the predicted effects of using a skill will now take into consideration the enemy's next action if you've predicted it, the stance changing has some animation, grappling now has more information on hover and also in the combat log (including who won a round of grappling and your respective scores), full multi-enemy support, hovering over the paper doll now shows all armor values, and the value change widgets are slicker looking.

You can now intentionally fail negative perk checks, and successful and failed checks play a sound.

There are some pretty major tweaks, including a few that fix some long-standing combat issues, like mis-matched stances. Combat should feel a bit more frictionless now.  We've reduced the impact of the stepdown function, so higher stats now give out more reward for battle purposes, although the bonus is still halved for each point over 5. We might remove that entirely eventually, but right now that would make fighting enemies like the Ettin... very difficult. This coincides with making weapons, including natural weapons, stronger, so there should be an overall increase in offense, especially since some of the powerful skills are now more defenseless and parries no longer apply when two opposing skills are of opposite heights (high and low). Some skills have also been modified.

Large hitbox encounter tiles have had their hitbox lowered, making it easier to click on tiles near them (though there may still be some clunkiness there; we'll try to smooth that out as it comes up), and the buttons used commonly in the UI as placeholders now stretch properly. We tried to catch every instance of this new stretchability causing some text clipping issues, but if one comes up, please let us know.

As we get through this stuff, we're also eyeing some more robust sex stuff, namely around Hiro's demeanor and more individualized sex skills with dialog and fun little effects. This post is getting quite long, though, so we'll have a devlog talking about all the stuff we're working on this week sometime soon. For now, enjoy! And check out the changelog and convenience links below:
