1 week working mostly on lewd content might have driven me slightly insane. :D 

We have a total of 6 new lewd scenes and 1 new corruption scene. Although 3 of these lewd scenes are just very short scenes I added to the beginning of the game so the player has some more access to early low lewd content. In addition to these there are also 2 new passives which technically are 1 passive that kind of works similar to Womb of Lust except it's not magical. Well, let's get into the details! 

First of all, one line of lewd content continues the real world lewd story line I had begun working on last week. The new corruption scene got added as I felt that there should be at least one more scene to bridge the into the real world masturbation scenes. Two of the new lewd scenes are exactly these real world masturbation scenes. The second one became a bit more lewd than I expected it to, so I decided to early add a lewd passive I had meant to reserve for later, but give it a rank so I can later increase the potency. 

The new passive Hidden Desires I does nothing by itself, but after 5 days of not commiting a lewd action it will turn into the second new passive Rising Heat I. This passive works similarly to Womb of Lust. For every day since the last lewd action, Aura's willpower gets reduced by 1. However, in contrast to Womb of Lust, it cannot be reset with Blessed Water. On the plus side, the effect is limited to "just" reducing Aura's willpower by maximum of 10, so I can later enhance the strength of this effect when higher ranks get unlocked. Since the only way to reset Rising Heat is actually committing a lewd action, this passive kind marks the start of slowly locking Aura into the corruption path and making it harder to get out. But it's still rather early, so the effect is still fairly weak.

Then, we have the third Hermit scene that finishes off the Hermit events in Roya. In addition to this, as I mentioned in the opening part of the post, we also have 3 new very early lewd events in Roya. You can find 3 new guards in Trademond that will give out small sums of gold for some simple acts. The lewd scenes themselves are fairly brief though.

Overall, I believe there are about 8k+ words of lewd related content. Writing the masturbation scenes, as well as reviewing and integrating the lewd scenes from our assistant writer was a challenge and I just finished at the same time as the time for the prerelease, so there's very little testing for the new guard content right now.

Other than that, there is one more noteworthy balancing change. You can now obtain the Clear Gem at the start of the game in the Abandoned Shrine. Originally I wanted that to be a reward for actually clearing the game, but I feel like with all the content in the game that one can unlock, this isn't really necessary.
