This week's progress was mostly focused on side quests, especially focusing on sneaking and vice. There are 2 new side quests (with very little testing as I just barely managed to finish the second one in time :'D) that go added to the game.

The first quest is the first Novice Adventurer quest in Nephlune and unlocks the Nephlune mansion where you will find a mini sneak maze guarding a valueable chest --- if you have Theft II.

Related to this new quest is also a new NPC in Trademond who appears only every 5 days and selling an early game drugs and giving a corrupt way to get more MP during Chapter 1, at the cost of HP and Corruption.

As you have probably guessed, the new quest also unlocks the Formula for Blue Sugar+ which turns the only demerital but cheap substance into.. well at least it has an upside now!

As for the second quest, if you have completed What Is It With Birds And Stealing?! just pass a day and check out the Adventurer Guild. If you have ever thought it strange that Aura only got paid with some apples when she exposes Liliana and Robert at the Refugee Camp and basically gets no renumeration for Festival Of Greed --- well Desmond has a proposal to get Aura her reward, with some questionable means...

...involving cleaning out the Congegration warehouse. Sneak around smartly grab as much as you can - or your corruption limit affords you.

I also got a first version for the Hermann Date 4 scene today from our assisstant writer. I plan to review it tomorrow, let's see if I can directly post it up or if some more revisions are necessary. Either way, I plan to implement it next week together with the repeat version of the Drug Dealer sex scene. With a bit of luck maybe Emubi will finish by next week as well and I can already integrate the H-CG, but maybe this will happen in the week after that.
