This week I mostly worked on the following two items:

Refugee Camp: Do some riddle solving or bomb your way through, either way you can now find a dungeon in the Refugee Camp! Though just as a note, while the encounters are functional, the dungeon is not finished yet! And I have definitely not fine tuned the numbers yet so to some the dungeon might be trivial and to others it might be a bit.. um.. much.

Mental Changes and Scenes: There are two more interactions you can find now find in Aura's mental world! Increase Aura's Socializing Happiness! And finally Alicia manages to put herself into a face-to-face relationship that doesn't involve studying! Check out the Surface Relationship Room and you will find that you can now insert Alicia into the "Going Home Relationship". There are a total 3 corruption scenes that can be triggered by the changes. In addition I added a new common scene of Aura going home with Rose, to contrast the corruption scenes. 

For those who enjoy Alicia's hijinks, you will find that she got quite a bit of dialogue in the new scenes! She's mostly in a good mood due to the corruption starting to slowly show its effects.

There are also some minor bugfixes, but nothing noteworthty. For a complete changelog please check the bottom of this post.

In the upcoming week: I will continue working on the quests in the Refugee Camp and aim to reach a new End of Content point. Also, following the project plan from this month, I want to at least add a new side quest in the Adventurers Guild. Finally, if I have enough time, I will map out the Appearance Room. Thanks to you guys support I was able to buy a small asset pack with lots of stuff for teenage girl rooms! I will be able to properly make some metaphors instead of boring sheets of paper.

Keep in mind that next week's release won't be a prerelease but the public release of 0.5.0.
