ITCH | MEGA | ITCH-DELUXE | MEGA-DELUXE

And this week we are back on Earth! This week we have 4 new corruption scenes that follow-up on the climax events of Chapter 2. The cheerleaders react to Aura throwing them out in the group date (of course with Alicia grossly misinterpreting some things :'D ), Aura and Veronica get to talk, and Aura gets to have a bit of an existential crisis now that she knows about the curse affecting her and starts to worry what exactly it has been doing. ....Her conclusions however, are a bit off, due to all the brainwashing. :'D But see that for yourself!

I was hoping to also start the next sequence of the lewd story. Basically, Aura needs to go through one last cycle of resist -> negotiation -> embrace of Richard/the curse. But while wriing the scenes, I noticed that I had neglected Rose a bit too much. After all, it's not just the fake story of George cheating on Aura, but also Richard cheating on Rose when he and Aura got into bed at the last event. So the scenes got a bit longer than intended but Rose got some time to also be relevant in all this and trigger some funny reactions with Aura. ("What?! Richard cheated on me with you?!" - "Is that so surprising Rose that he would pick me over you...? (Wait, I shouldn't be bragging about this!!!!") It was fun to write. 

In addition to the scenes in involving Aura, we also have a scene that will start off the next story section on the Rose and Richard part which will play a role in breaking Aura's final resistance. The details of course I leave to you to discover in the scene. :D And finally we also have a new scene involving George and Rose, and this time Rose blaming George for cheating on Aura. So yeah, overall quite a lot of Rose focus in this week's scenes.

Yesterday, I mostly spent on integrating the new Luciela and Demon King Richard character artworks. Luckily they mostly only appear in the Intro and then only have minor appearances late into the game. Today I also finished discussing the briefs for Roland 7-8 with Emubi. Probably the most complex CG set yet, so let's see what that will bring.

On the side of our assistant developer Trihan, he has started developing the third Roland quest which you can start from, well, Roland. :'D There isn't a lot yet to see, but the basic infrastructure is getting setup (at least so I have heard :D :D :D )

Alright, and that covers the prerelease update for this week! Next week, I will be doing the first round of setup for the Mansion of Lust quest. Our mapper has finished the first couple of maps, not everything I need yet, but good enough to get started.

Very nice. Any chances for more and more in-depth memory changes? Kinda my thing, not gonna lie 😅

aura-dev

The memory changes are done. I had initially planend to go with a more intricate system but it escalated too quickly even in the planning phase. A more intricate memory change interaction system could easily be it's own smaller game, maybe we can revisit it in that kind of context in the future.

does the game not take old saves. game wont go to start screen when i put old save folder in. it only goes when i dont put it

aura-dev

Hey, it should. I just fixed a bug that most likely caused your issue, try to download again. The problem stems from my recent work on fixing some issues the external save option, and that prompting some other issues at other places...

Hi Aura Dev. I am getting the game from itch.io one time payment. And I have to say that game is really good, I have been a fan of corruption content, both ero and non ero across genre and I have to say that your game is really hitting the marks, but I fear that this great work would be tarnished by vanilla corruption ending, which people call Bad Ending which is standard across most works of corruption. I want this game to be best it can be and this game deserves to have multiple ending in my opinion: 1. Standard Bad Ending. Nothing too much new here, Vanilla Corruption ending. Classic one where you can not go wrong but is limited because it is too predictable. 2. Demon Queen Aura Ending. I think that it will be fun to see Aura and Alicia to combine and plan to kill off Richard for good and Aura becoming new Demon Queen. I have played only 7 hours but I can see this happening because Alicia is really trying to help Aura in her own way, she is obsessed with her, and she is afraid of Richard overall too because of his higher power over her. Alicia can become her Consort, and maybe show George becoming new Hero in ending. 3. Dark Hero Aura Ending. Aura killing off both Alicia and Richard and accepting the parts of her corrupted self. So a corrupted hero who walked on this path by her own choice in the end instead of someone else forcing her to do so. 4. Standard Good Ending. 5. Fake Hero Ending where she got out of the corruption and decided to play the Hero play longer. 6. A path where she just give up on being a Hero and try to leave the world altogether. Well there can be even more. But I really hope that there are more options than Standard Bad and Good ending. Aura as a character is flawed since the beginning and I can understand why Alicia wants to correct her flaws even if she is going overboard, Non Standard Endings can lead to a more progressive Character Development where Aura understands her flaws and becomes a better character.
