Inner Circle post for 0.4.9 (Patreon)

Hi all!

As I'd anticipated, I mostly lost internet access for a while after releasing 0.4.8. I'm back online now and can report that I've made good progress on the next version. The makeout changes are completed - I took the extra time to make a number of improvements to the makeout scenes as well as the from-behind content.

I'm quite behind on going over comments and forum posts again. I'll need to go over those for bug reports and the like. During own testing I found a fairly nasty one with the new behind sex scene where the line for when you're arousal drops into the discomfort zone was being shown every turn. This led to some amusing situations, such as my pc having an orgasm despite having her "face twisted in discomfort". Evidently it can't have been as uncomfortable as all that!

I might officially stop trying to reply to the bulk of change-requests - answering everyone was fun back when I started out and didn't have many players but it's become a bit of a chore now and I feel like I'm always falling further behind. Of course the Inner Circle will be different there - as a smaller group it'll be much more feasible to reply to everyone. Of course I will still be reading everyone's suggestions even if I stop trying to write up long answers to them all.

The other change I'm working on for 0.4.9 is the wedding dress scene. I have a framework for it but there's a lot of decisions to be made before it's complete. My original sketch involved the boyfriend being present, but I've since remembered that the future husband is apparently not supposed to see the bride in her wedding dress before the big day.

I do want him to be there sometimes as I have some good suggestions that kurono02 made in a discussion a while back that would need him to be there. It might also be fun for sleazy fiances to pressure the pc to wear a quite revealing dress. However, there should perhaps be an alternative where the PC goes shopping with a friend, or perhaps with Ivy. There could even be some jealousy content if she goes with a male friend who fancies her - perhaps an opportunity for her to subtly taunt him about how she's marrying someone better than him.

I also wonder if the wedding day might be an opportunity for some exhibitionist content. Perhaps an alternative one where the man wants to show the pc off to his friends (and family perhaps? Or would that be weird?) so she gets married naked. Of course the drawback is that this will add complexity to the wedding-day scene which will probably already be a large one. What do you think?
