0.20.0 but with less bugs. Also some minor improvements and balancing fixes. Platings at Edwin's Workshop were a bit too good and had their efficiency reduced. Also Slime being very powerful got a minor nerf by having it's summoning cost increase by 1 whenever you feed him something. Slimy boi getting fat, haha.
On the flip side, there is one experimental balancing change regarding stat gains on level up to make the game a bit easier. I have tweaked the curves a bit for faster growth. In theory, this should provide some easier gameplay starting mid-Chapter 1 and smoothen out the difficulty transition from Chapter 1 to Chapter 2. Especially Aura's DEF and MDEF grow quite a bit faster. I have done some testing here and there, but we will need to see how this plays out in the long-term.
The last changes mostly make secondary lewdness stats have a bit more of an effect in some skills. i always thought I had already implemented the coating drug to give MDEF equal to the sensitivity stats but apparantly I never implemented that. When I tried scripting it, I also saw why :D I had to touch some deeper plugin parts to allow for the bonus to work. I did some testing but there is a chance that I overlooked breaking something :'D
