That was another quick week. Can't believe it's Friday already again! This week we have 3 main additions: The next Adventurer Guild quest in Nephlune focusing on John, the deluxe build I created last Saturday and new assets for the Compendium.

Sadly I didn't get to writing the 3rd John lewd scene yet as my initial word count for the quest itself was quite off. It didn't really flow well and felt a bit hasty when I tried to follow my own draft so I ended up expanding some dialogues here and there. On the bright side, I think the quest turned out quite detailed.

It's a three stage quest with a bunch of minor references and mentions of events and characters thrown in here and there. To trigger it, complete the Duelists quest in Nephlune. There are 3 stages of the quest. Teach John new skills and go hunting for a monster with a rare and powerful material in final part section. For the middle one, I don't want to spoil too much, but the one of the routes leads to John and Aura visiting the Underground Pub together.

If you want to experience the lewd scene with John, I would recommend you to maybe hold off with the second stage of the quest until next week. I plan to write the John scene over the weekend.

For the second major change, I have already blogposted about the next deluxe build accessible to 10€ patrons. Since the initial build on Saturday I have slightly extended the cheat console with some further requested options such as increasing vice/lewdness and decreasing corruption.

Finally, the body compendium part placeholders have been replaced and made dynamic. At the sensitivity values 15 and 50, the body part icons will switch to lewder versions.

Next week, as mentioned earlier, I first plan to first finish the John lewd scene and then as planned in the Project Plan, I will be switching to the real world and continue doing some more Knowledge Drain mental changes and scenes.

On the freelancer side, I have yesterday commissioned the Hermann H-CG from Emubi. One of the two writing applicants has stopped responding so I sadly had to search for a new one but I did find a new promising candidate rather quickly. I discused the test brief with her and had her play the game for 2-3h. I hope that the two applicants soon have something to show so we can proceed in the hiring process of a new assisstant writer.

Aaaand that's about it! For the changelog, which is fairly short this week this most work went into the John quest, I refer to the item list below.
