Public Build: Alpha v2.03.4d, the Last Alpha Build (Patreon)

This is it folks, the home stretch of Alpha! This month is going to be  focused on putting the final touches on existing systems, adding in  missing details, and generally polishing everything up. This month adds  in the combat contest, and with it the basic infrastructure for all of  the contests, and next month should see the cooking and breeding  contests thrown in as well. We hope to get at least the key frames in  for all remaining animation sets in combat (and hopefully for other  things like NPCs walking around town and such), all the buildings in  cloverton opened up and working, and with a little luck, the sounds for  combat and sex and UI interaction, and the prologue dungeon where Ev  will get the Geno-Driver.

This month was a lot of bug fixing, tinkering, and adding smaller pieces to the grand scheme, and getting a snazzier set of UI elements into place. and we're really looking forward to wrapping up Alpha and getting in all the systems in their finalized states!
