EDIT: Hotfix v0.3.36.3 going up now to fix the crashes on the Skill Selection and Inventory screens!

Hayooo! New weekly! And it's kind of... enormous?

Things just came together, I guess. Hopefully we can keep up this pace, now that we've laid a lot of groundwork. The changelog really says it all, but... let's dive in, shall we?

As promised, we've got the Lubrication system AND the Darkness systems in! And we got Inventory Sorting and Inventory access during encounters as well! There's a lot going on there, so maybe we'll post a devlog about it, but for now here's a summary of each:

For Lubrication, we've added way more that goes into it, with various skills improving lubrication and types of fucking (and with various objects and dongs) affecting friction and the state of Hiro's hopeless hole - and others! It should heal itself quicker now, but taking those big dicks lube-free is now a one-way trip to the red ring of fire. We actually missed adding the "Distracted" debuff to it, but don't worry, that'll be in too... for now, you can get lubed up by opponents, lube yourself, lube your opponents, with spit or lube or cum or oil... go nuts!

Well, not too nuts.

The dark (heh) horse of the update is the new Darkness system, which will definitely have more and more of an impact as we add in more dungeon scenarios and proper dungeons - the game world now has a light level that's based on the time of day (and, for night-time, how bright the moon is) and how much of that daylight is reaching you (full daylight in the plains or forest clearings, reduced under the forest canopy or other shade, minimal in some enclosed areas and completely absent deep in the belly of the earth) - but you can also get a variety of light sources including torches, enchantments, and (eventually) consumables and spells. We're looking forward to implementing the vampires having a rough time in daylight - real, or ~magical~ - but neither the spell nor the vampiric reaction is in yet. What IS in are variable backgrounds and character appearances for the Naga and Spider depending on the light level, and variant scenarios based on the same.

To facilitate that, we've finally added something we've wanted to for a long time - the "Inventory Scene", or, in other words, a place during Encounters to stop and change your gear, quaff your potions, and prepare for the trek ahead. For dungeon crawling, this is going to be an awesome addition - and even for some outdoor encounters, the ability to drink an appropriate potion, or heal up between multiple rounds of combat, will make for a lot more strategic variability.

For now, though, if you run into one of these and the game says it's about to get dark... you may want to equip a torch. Fighting enemies in the dark who have darkvision leads to Surprise, which means, depending on the light level, you won't be able to act for the first few rounds of combat. Even a little bit of light - say, from an enchanted sword - can help.

And that's not all - we've also added the ability to sort your inventory or a shop's inventory by alphabetical, type, value, or weight. Neat!

There's also the Sign Girl Hiro art, including an anal variant, and some great improvements, additions, and animation to the Sphincter display and similar improvements to the Rectum display.

Some QoL improvements, fixes, and adjustments as well - consumables like the stat-boosting potions and arrows are now much cheaper.

We've also got some more performance improvements for encounters coming in, and possibly some improvements to the android builds on weaker phones, but we'll talk more about that later! For now, enjoy!

As always, changelog is below, and convenience download link below that. Thanks for supporting us!

Version: 0.3.36.2 - 2nd September Weekly - Hotfix 0.3.36.3

New features:

• Added Lubrication/Friction system!
• - Lubed Ass/Cock status effects
• - Added Lube Cock, Lube Ass, and Drop Pants techniques in Seduction stance
• - Added Lube Up in Ground Wrestle stance (lubes up opponent's ass) and Lube It in Handy Bottom stance (while giving a handjob, can lube it up) - or can ptooey in either case for some makeshift lubrication
• - Objects have a friction coefficient
• - Girthy objects produce more friction depending on how tight the orifice is
• - Lubricants have a friction reduction factor - the current lubricants are saliva (weakest), cum, and lubricant (strongest)
• - Saliva can be applied with anilingus and ptooey
• - Objects that enter rub some of their "lubricant" off
• - Added Lubricant item for sale
• - Oil status effect also adds lubrication on either party
• - Cocks with knots have variable girth depending on whether they're knotted
• - Butthole irritation should now fade faster with time
• Added Darkness/Surprise system!
• - Some backgrounds (eventually all - currently the cave-related ones) and characters are affected by the current light level - which is a function of the time of day (and phase of the moon), location, and your light sources
• - Added Torches as a buyable weapon - not too useful as a weapon (though it does do fire damage), but holding one in either hand will give you a large amount of light while spelunking
• - Added Blindfolds as a buyable accessory - it doesn't totally blind you, but it reduces light to the lowest level regardless of your other light sources
• - A bunch of encounters now check the light level to branch and have alternate things happen - from different scenarios to different dialogue to easier or harder skill checks
• - Some characters produce their own light - the Fire Elemental notably (and you can, too, by just... being on fire!) but also...
• - The Naga and Spider (Arachne) now show their bioluminescence, with a really cool new appearance that shows up in low light levels, including during combat!
• - The lowest light levels will cause enemies to surprise you - the darker, the more the surprise, so even a little bit of light can help!
• - A lot of things generate light - including a Fire Enchanted weapon, or even a Heated buttplug... and we've added a Glowing enchantment for shields that works as well as a torch
• Added Inventory access in select locations during Encounters!
• - You can use or equip any items during these respite periods in encounters, which are currently in the cave encounters to give you a chance to put on a torch or other light source and in the Arena
• - These will be added to more encounters to give you more chances to use items like potions or situational equipment
• - Can't use town portals, sorry!
• Added Inventory Sorting!
• - Can now sort inventory in addition to the filters in both the Inventory screen and shops
• - Four sort types: alphabetical, by type, by value, and by weight
• - Can also reverse the sort order by clicking on the option again, or unsort by clicking a third time
• - Sneak Attack delay timer now appears paralysis instead, letting you see how much time left before you or the enemy can start acting
• - A few more shops will replenish their inventory, now, so you don't have to start a new game to find the torch or blindfold
• - Combat paper doll now immediately reflects equipment changes (taking off pants or underwear, for instance)

New content:

• Added Hiro Sign Girl art!
• - Has an anal variation as well
• - Expanded the scenes a bit
• Added Sphincter animation!
• - Now properly reflects lubrication, amount of cum, current gape and overall status, updated live in battle
• Rectum display now also properly shows cum and plug removal/insertion and tentacle removal/insertion and appears in combat correctly
• Added new cave backgrounds and variants for light level
• Added Lubricant item icon
• Added Blindfold item icon
• Added new buttons to Inventory scene

Tweaks and bug fixes:

• Potions and arrows are now much more affordable
• Big performance improvements for World Map
• Fixed Cold Enchant on weapons
• Tweaked some auto-equip logic - weapons and shields won't force out your existing equipment if you have it anymore when you buy them
• Added more information to error reports to help with debugging
• Fixed some translation strings
• Adjusted some text to not overrun the window
• Adjusted Jester Anal animation placement
• Minor text edits
• Fixed typos
