Alright, one day late today, but better late than never. Sadly there were some issues in the deployment infrastructure because someone decided to compile whole internet on it or something... Anyways, overall a bit of a weird week. Despite being the 3rd week, there were a lot of bugfixes, in fact I already see my issue tracker filling up with more and more items... In total we have 16 bugfixes including prerelease bugfixes and public patch bugfixes.

In addition to that, I decided with Emubi to do one last minor iteration on the kissing H-CG, not just to address the anatomy but also a couple of other comments that were raised in the comments. Emubi has also did a general review on style consistency and improved it among older CGs.

Okay! With that out of the way! Let's finally get into the new stuff! I worked pretty hard on Friday to get everything finished up and got pretty bummed out by the deployments not working, because while we do not have a lot of scenes in terms of pure numbers, the once we have got some intensity and plot development!

Let's start with the not so plot heavy stuff first.

The first John sex scene! If you have completed a variety of conditions which you can check in the clear room, the on-day 0 willpower event will "allow" you to trigger this scene. John will get dragged off into bed by Aura who's overflowing with lust from the womb of lust. Check out the scene yourself!

Then we have 2 more mental changes which trigger the 3 new corruption scenes in the real world. It's just 3 scenes but with the total word count of 2500 words they are about as long as 5 500-word scenes.

It continues the storyline of Aura trying to "enlighten" her fellow club members. Her refusal has left her in a distraught state which Alicia exploits with both the mental changes and her usual manipulation. The result is the start of the bullying storyline.

To avoid spoiling everyone, I am resisting the urges to post more screencaps, of which I made a lot, because Alicia's hot takes shitposting goes up by 1000%+ in the new scenes. Aura finally drops her kindness and tells Laura and Rose what she "really" thinks of them. The change is finally big and impactful enough to make Rose come to a certain conclusion...

I recommend doing the Injustice II Removal before the Ugliness II insertion, as that will give some extra dialogue, although the change then feels more "sharp". For a more gradual experience I recommend first Ugliness II Insertion and then Injustice II Removal.

Aaand that's it for the week! Like I said, a very weird week. Emubi is still on travels until the end of the week, so beyond the fixes he didn't have time to do anything else. And then there were the huge amount of bugfixes, not just in the new content mind you, but mostly small stuff spread over the whole game. It just really goes to show how big it has become. 

For the next week, it looks like there will also be more concerning things... Our mapper promised me multiple times they would have the Verdeaux map prepared so I could start working on it this week, while also showing me intermediate progress and iterating it.... Yet they have sadly gone AWOL and stopped responding to my messages, so we will see if things will go according to plan. 

For now I will continue working on more corruption content. I plan to create the repeat version of the John sex scene and then I plan to create the next event in the Rose Seduced By Richard event line which hooks into the bullying storyline from this week. I originally wanted have it done by this week as well, but, welp, bugfixing :'D.
Finding stuff to work on won't be exactly difficult haha, but I may to change some plans also for the next month because of this.

Alright, that's really all I've got to report on this week. For the complete changelog including the bugfixes of the public patch, see below!

PS: Regarding the wiki, I finally managed to get Discord login going. So I guess if we include outside-game bugfixes the count goes up to 17 :'D
