Star Knightess Aura Release 0.4.0 (Patreon)

With tonight's prerelease and tomorrow's official release, Star Knightess Aura version 0.4.0 will be coming out!

A month is coming to an end, a new update for Star Knightess Aura is coming out!
The update focuses primarily on the following aspects:

Improving the quality level. Instead of just the static images, you will now find that Aura is much more emotive! Her collar is now also displayed and removed when she takes it off to unleash the Star Knightess.
Going through the game and adding all the correct expressions took some time, since we have already reached 50k+ words, but was worth every second!
Besides that you will find lots of small details in better use of sound effects, lots of typo fixes, fixes of minor glitches and so forth.

Balancing improvements. Thanks for everybody who gave me feedback!
Thanks to you, I was able to work out what feels like a much better gameplay experience.
The corruption limit has been lowered to 25, so watch your step, but at the same time the corruption limit can be increased by advancing through the story.
With Blessed Water becoming less of a scam, Apples more nutritious than ever, and various new loot that you will find in the new area (more about that below) I hope that the game opens up much more room for creative play!
The alchemist is also a bit less mean, as he now gives a 10% discount on the day that you supply him with some materials.
Finally, the first demon boss fight has been reworked a lot.
Overall, it is now possible to defeat pretty much all enemies without having to use the Star Knightess – if you keep on thinking, that is!

New area in the Forest of Runes. I hope that I can say this kind of sentence in every major update. Ideally, I want every update to contain at least one new major area. This doesn't need to be a dungeon area like this one here, but there should always be something cool to explore. This new area contains over 20 encounters, 3 of them being minibosses. One of them you will recognize as you can now try your hands on solo-fighting a spider queen. The other bosses are completely new and come with their own gimmicks.

Clear room. This may sound like something that's coming way too early, but I prefer to close the game loop as soon as possible. Once you hit the end of content, you will now be teleported into the Clear Room.
There you will gain access to the Recollection Room, where you can rewatch erotic scenes or get hints on how to unlock them, and you will be able to start a new game plus.
Of course you can also continue on your current play through if you want to.
Also, you will find a stone tablet that will tell you your Victory Score, that is how many bosses you managed to kill while keeping the number of lewd actions to a minimum.
You can spend the score points to gain some bonuses for a new game plus. Try to find a way to gain the maximum score!
Once you enter the Clear Room once, you will be given an item to re-enter it whenever you want.

Real life scenes. If you check the changelog, you will see a bunch of new real life scenes. Meet George's family, follow Aura's hijinks in the world of Isekai novels, and watch new scenes reflecting Alicia's brainwashing!

In theory, you should be able to continue on your 0.3.1 save. However, the automatic migration feature I implemented for this is still in an experimental stage, so please be aware of that! It should work! But... who knows! Only those who passed have passed beyond the end of content might find themselves in a bind, since they won't be able to access the clear room. So I would recommend to use a save, where you have not yet reported on the demon's defeat!

As usual, if you have feedback, please let me know! Next major update will be on 27th of March. Depending on feedback and bug reports, there might be a 0.4.1 inbetween.
